ted cruz leaving is our most credible severe weather alert

This one's for all the folx out there who have to watch the biggest failures in the universe thrive while they work twice as hard to be taken half as seriously. How long does it take to swallow that crap and NOT go into your villain era?

who the fuck are these people talking to you want ME to invoke it?

Weird takes going around that The Pitt is doing AI propaganda. Maybe it turns out that way, but so far the person advocating for it is a lady we're specifically meant to think sucks, and is in our hero's way, it already fucked up, and the one other person who liked it was the pedantic nerd.

Just say "We're useless and you're on your own" and be done with it.

Deploy the National Guard to catch the murderer or fuck off.

small-government conservatism is when a guy in a mask who won't show you his badge shoots you through the window of your car while you're driving away from him

My favorite DC Comics villain? I'd have to say The Man Who Hated Money, seen here uttering his classic catchphrase "I hate money!"

they’re calling it the strongest sunday scaries in recorded human history

Oh, so a protection racket on top of the bust-out scheme.

Not sure I would characterize this as a visit to New York, but hey, I'm not the paper of record.

I have to say, 2026, this is not what we were hoping for.

It's a lovely June day in (checks calendar) Oh no.

Winding down 2025 by nearly running over a robot here in dystopian Austin.

Yes, we all eagerly await season 2 of I'm Not Getting Any Younger. The wonders of AI continue to astound!

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

If you haven't seen Last Night at the Alamo, you need to do that.

Based on a great novel, in fact!

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Santa knows me well.

Happy to pack "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" back up and put it on a shelf where it will hopefully never be found again.

Got on the TV this morning to talk about the weird things I’m into/my upcoming debut short story collection!! www.tmj4.com/shows/the-mo...

People might say that pre-ordering my book for someone would make for a lousy Christmas present. But! Not only will it gift your loved ones a sizzling piece of neon noir that may well end up chiseled on the tombstone of the American Empire, but it will also reach them about delaying gratification.

Wow so it turns out two of California’s most famous unsolved murders were committed by the same person decades apart, something that was ‘proved’ by a clout-chasing nobody who used AI to figure it out Nice try losers

Whatever you thought of MEGALOPOLIS, or even if you didn't see it, MEGADOC (the Mike Figgis making-of documentary) is insanely entertaining. Now on Criterion Channel.

Are these the same companies that told us the robot could do it?
