Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

#pathofexile2 taking this quick disconnect to say the Werewolf feels so vicious that I've abandoned the vines druid I'd been planning.

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

I'm going to work on some radical positivity today. I'm going to look for the best in people. I'm going to assume good intentions. I'm going to give compliments. Let's degrump the country, and since the only people we can control are ourselves? That's a great place to start.

Stephen Miller right now

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

a “Space Force”, if you will

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

More of the wicker men from this year #spookyseason #halloween

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

It’s going to be weird indeed when other countries place sanctions on the U.S.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Researchers confirmed that sperm accumulate mutations over the years, increasing the risk of transmitting diseases to offspring.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Time to call out this nonsense.

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

This is the best way to fight fascism. Fascists understand violence, and know how to respond to that… But they don’t understand mockery. Like, they want to be like “Portland is a war zone,” sooo hard, but it’s just a bunch of people in inflatable frog suits, lol

Time spent listening to music with your eyes closed is the most productive time there is. You exist to feel things and experience it all. Give yourself time to do exactly that. Clear out an hour and listen to an album straight through with headphones on. You're going to love how it makes you feel.

After the shutdown during the 1st Trump admin, Congress passed a law to guarantee back pay for furloughed workers. That bill was signed into law by Donald Trump. Workers will be paid. This chaos is a distraction from Trump's failure to secure a deal to lower health care costs.

Spooky display coming along nicely, someone donated a skull in the middle of the night! Thank you kind goblin.

Whoaaaaa

Video genAI continues to get freakier. It'll be interesting and/or horrific to watch it speedrun SEO slop by rapidly finding the incredibly weird stuff people are most likely to click

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

SCOOP: At 9:35am on Wednesday, the first morning of the US government shutdown, employees at the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a template from human resources for their suggested “out of office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats.

Getting ready for the seasonal break down of my garden and making some new spooky sculptures from the yard waste. Finding invasive blackberry to be great for making cordage.

Spooky season...

just the hubris on this guy! like every chauvinist mediocrity, he sincerely believes he is a top specimen, the pinnacle of human achievement.

Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

WIRED asked security and privacy experts for their advice for hardening personal privacy protections and resisting surveillance. Here are their recommendations.

I know it's an impossible dream but on this national day of mourning my fondest wish is that everyone from across the political spectrum will one day unite and come to the common sense conclusion that Charlie Kirk was a reprehensible piece of shit.

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

people who still post on twitter I guess have at this point made up their minds but if you’re looking for another good reason to dump twitter and tiktok maybe consider how fun it would be to make these bad investments for some of the world’s most annoying boneheads

I was about to get back into TikTok since it's not getting banned after all, but it sounds like the plan is to make a US version which would be owned by Oracle and a16z. I think there is a good chance Larry Ellison and Marc Andreessen can succeed at building a platform worse than Twitter & Threads.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

Today, we honor the lives lost and the courage of the first responders who were impacted on September 11, 2001. We remember not only the tragedy of that day, but the deep scars it left on families, communities, and our nation.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying. Political violence has no place in this country and should never become the norm. I’m sending my sympathies to his family and friends at this time.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
