The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

No one’s made a graph yet so I’ve taken it upon myself to do so. Plus one filled out with all my favs. The star next to Signalis designates it as the perfect center of the triangle.

all of you are making your little jokes but I'll have you know this website has FIVE EIGHTS OF UPTIME!

reactionary politics is simply emotional luddism. people are afraid to know themselves. they want their comfortable lies. theyre right to be scared of what the future holds. but the answer is education, not attaching yourself to a rosy past that never existed.

Whether or not a production issue is specifically caused by LLM-generated code, vibe-coding is going to be the casual synecdoche for the end-stage result of the "move fast and break things" philosophy that has eroded technology for the past decade.

First day as an infrastructure engineer at Bluesky. They let me put a piece of bologna in the CD drive and nothing bad has happened so far

GenAI sucks, but I worry that we'll lose sight of *why*- it's specifically because it's an accelerant acting on every pre-existing societal vulnerability. And ngl some of the framing as AI as "the single bad thing!" I've seen really elides that in concerning ways!

Holy shit, good news for once

It's neat that we developed a legally ambiguous method for circumventing the now essentially impossible amendment process of the American constitutional order.

do you want "Catholicism but american" we invented that, it's called Episcopalianism and it's even more woke. all the priests are lesbians. good luck

"Plus a Hollywood film is incapable of capturing the density & gravity of the themes while still remaining Stupid." This is why I love games. I cried at the end of Final Fantasy X, a game where Underwater Pelé dismantles a death cult mega church and saves the world from his dad, a space whale

The self and the cyberself in quiet introspection

The Artemis folks have the opportunity to do the funniest deorbit ever

Prosecuting and purging the Republican Party was Biden’s one job. When he failed to do his duty it was just a waiting game to this moment.

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

responsive united states

As more people distance themselves from Trump it’s helpful to accept their mistakes with grace and help them back to reality. I’m not gonna do that, I’m gonna mock them viciously, but, you know, it’s helpful. Someone should do that. Not me though.

every day the US says some le ebic bacon based redpilled movie quip that probably sounded cool in their heads and every day Iran responds with just the most raw true shit possible

Donald Trump must be removed from office and prosecuted for Crimes Against Peace in international courts. Every member of this administration should be prosecuted. They are war criminals and murderers. That's what the Democrats should be proposing. That's the moderate position.

So the US-Israeli war crimes on Iran are to "free Iran's people" and "stop Iran from getting an illegal nuke", perpetrated by a coalition of the US - a morality-free oligarchy building concentration camps for its undesirables, and Israel - a genocidal apartheid state holding illegal nukes?

looking like I overshot this by about two years

If I had a nickel for every time they made a 1998 sci-fi anime about a lanky goofball bisexual with a magic gun, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

GENTLEMAN JACK BALLET WHAT

just looking at those figures you can imagine the size of the crash. more fun still to come in 2026

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

Damn, I just finished the one-two punch of @chrisbodegard.bsky.social's Esoteric Ebb and @jamespatton.bsky.social's Duskpunk. Dice-based videogames are BACK babeyy

esoteric ebb has the sauce btw

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

True independent thinkers don't change their clocks just because everyone else does. I will do my own research and determine what time it is

who up ebbin they esoteric

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

Obama is the only president to date born when there were 50 states

when politicians in America and Israel talk about their "shared values" they are talking about those bombed hospitals and murdered schoolchildren, the genocides that both their countries are built on. that's their solidarity, that's their Civilization. may we all live to see it crumble and forgotten

Just gonna repeat myself from that video three months back: he's either a sack of shit or a giant dumbfuck. Anyone who is excited to vote for either of those is, well...

surely someone on your timeline has now been burged

whoops

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

My entire adult life

love schlubbing to work on the weekend while the president wages an illegal war of aggression against [checking casualty notes] schoolchildren in iran

"We are wrong because we started the war" should be the anchor point for all coverage of what's happening and it's remarkable how quickly that tends to get obscured. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-countr...

For years, Iran has modeled proportionate response when they were the target of terror attacks and assassinations. If they're under existential threat, I wonder what proportionate response looks like?
