We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

Seems less than ideal! Yikes… get ready for a whole lot more of this. And parents: we’ve got to hold our schools accountable for allowing AI intrusion in the classroom. Forward this story to every admin or teacher you know and ask: how they will make sure this doesn’t happen at your school?

I have one piece of advice for American men: be the guy at the party who makes everyone a perfect grilled cheese at 3 in the morning and you’ll never sleep alone. Also what is going on with this embassy thirst trap

Sickening. So his plan is just to IGNORE Federal holidays his racist ass doesn’t like? And ADD HIS OWN birthday as a pseudo-holiday? What a tool. What an ignoramus. What human garbage. Why people want any part of this racist cult shit, I will never understand.

Hmmm. Well, the show actually features two Academy Award-winning actors (Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti), plus fan favorite Tig Notaro. So … maybe? I’m going to go ahead and wait for the show before I pass judgment. BUT! (1/2)

I wrote a bit for McSweeney's about Isaac Chotiner interviewing Santa Claus. Just a little something for the holiday season. Enjoy!

Welcome to the resistance… David Zaslav?????

There is a free tool to migrate from Spotify to Apple Music and you won’t regret it

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

I can’t not shop there any more than I’m already not shopping there! So consider this a signal boost: The Target team sucks, and I hope ChatGPT does for them what it does for facts. (Mangle beyond all recognition)

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵 I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

Who says we can’t have nice things?

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Seems bad? 🤷‍♂️

$1.6bln: The amount of his fraud scheme 7: Years of his sentence 10,000: Victims of his fraud 1,000: Letters from victims to the court 13: Days he served 1: Pardon from Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

No thank you.

Jesus Christ, the "remastered" Beatles Anthology documentary they re-released is filled with AI slop. Look at John and Paul's faces, and the "T" on Beatles.

I cannot even begin to express my rage at this lie reading this through me back into my pandemic EMT life, attempting to resuscitate a child experiencing a cardiac arrest secondary to COVID while a father says “we heard that the vaccine was riskier than COVID for kids” and a mother wails in agony

Trump has done so many worse things that tear down the East Wing of the White House but each time I'm reminded of it I revert to WTAF fuck mode and think he !!!!demolished the East Wing of the White House!!!

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

Okay @mollyknight.bsky.social - thank me later for the winter blues cure. 😛 bsky.app/profile/ayas...

This is a real image of a real thing that exists in the universe! And because a bunch of humans decided to get together and build a space telescope, we get to see it! 🤯

If Olivia Nuzzi fell in love with a baker: "He kneaded. He needed to knead, and I needed to watch him knead, and need me, and knead me, the way he needed (and kneaded) the other things in his life. Also, he had a Ceti Eel in his ear, like Chekov in Star Trek II." (Also: the alt text for the image!)

Don't do any of this.

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

If I had a nickel for how many times I’ve done art that somehow sees into the future like this I’d have two nickels but it’s kind of weird.

MUCH needed follow up to something I re-skeeted a month ago. Check it out! (And subscribe to Cook’s illustrated, for goodness sake. They are definitely a magazine which deserves to exist.)

Good news: If you would like to watch Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants on YouTube I have done a painstaking 4k upscale of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gW...

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I'm sorry but genuinely how is the American media glamourising Olivia Nuzzi sleeping with a source

“I can’t take a ranting lunatic’s call every day. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to talk to Laura Loomer…”

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Every word of this thread. Every single word.

In a country with ostensible civilian control of the military, I would sure love to see some military leaders hauled before Congress to explain the decision to use a Blackhawk helicopter in this operation. Because other than “to terrorize, American citizens,” what possible reason could there be?

Well, when you put it like that…. 😳😠😤🤯 Reality, man - freaking reality. Who knew?

Another banger, worthy of your book-buying intention!! 😛 Belongs in the library of anyone who loves comics, in any form!

As an owner of the below book (and a big fan of Glenn’s work), you should definitely buy a copy for Glenn to wrap and send after his recovery! ❤️‍🩹 (just a quick note to wish you the best of luck in the surgery. Speedy recovery!!)

chuck schumer has been barred from formally observing this year's lexus december to remember sales event. they can't stop him from standing outside, but he will not be allowed into the showroom and he cannot directly behold the obelisk or participate in the thousand screams

It was 40 years ago today (Nov 11, 1985) that Ralph Winter called from Los Angeles and left a message on the phone in my apartment in Honolulu, asking me if I'd like to work on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. In doing so, he changed my life. Thanks, Ralph!

What a thrill to be part of @talkingpointsmemo.com's series about the past 25 years of digital media! I wrote about why private equity goons destroyed Deadspin and why it matters.

Hello @support.bsky.team why has @sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
