I don’t see my friend “a scary amount of butter” as much as I’d like to but when I do it’s like no time has passed, we pick up right where we left off

WHAT IF THERE WAS *ONLY* PIE A DAY OF PIE BREAKFAST PIE SAVORY PIE SWEET PIE SOME SORT OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKABLE PIE PIESGIVING WE WOULD CALL IT AND THE WORLD WOULD THANK US IN PRAYER AND SONG AND IDEALLY PIE

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone hiding in a bathroom as long as possible to escape family who you can hear asking where you are.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

Collective, racist punishment.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies: If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.

We can all have this. Go to a shelter.

Hey, props to writers who got literally anything done this year.

apropos of nothing the president's deployment of the national guard to dc was ruled unlawful less than a week ago

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Masculinity has long defined itself as the negative space surrounding the "female" and "gay" spheres and as those spheres have expanded, "men" have felt cornered. Now they've added a "left" sphere to avoid and have almost no room to enjoy anything.

Imagine this for any other industry but tech Getting on a rickety-ass roller coaster that was not tested and WILL kill you, but the owners are not liable because they have a sheet of paper in their office that you did not read that says "if you die thats against our rules"

OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS

Stop using a studio's entire budget for the year to make one boring movie that gets dumped on Netflix and instead make probably 50 boring movies, 50 bad movies, 50 weird movies, and 50 great movies

I don't care what movies, in fact I want to be surprised, but we're not making anymore 400 million dollar movies by the Russos or whoever. We're giving 20 million to 200 different filmmakers and seeing what they come up with.

My microwave sings a little song when my Hot Pocket is done. Should it have the right to vote?

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

There were people who thought ELIZA was "alive"; humans are amazingly susceptible to anthropomorphizing even the crudest simulation of a conversation partner, and that has suddenly become incredibly dangerous for both individual users and human civilization

One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

By accepting the pardon those turkeys are admitting to culpability

So either Trump spoke to Bolsonaro about plotting to escape to the US right before the latter got caught trying to saw off his ankle monitor, or Trump imagined a conversation he didn’t have. Both scenarios are incredibly dark

you buy new phone you buy WHY You noT BUY PHONE Feed MOnEY to markets NOW buy PHONE

when its definitely not a hostage situation

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history." BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2036...

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Constantly making "who is the richest boy" a headline every time the stock market shuffles the deck of richest boys is one of the reasons these megalomaniacs focus so much energy on accumulating wealth. It's a game, and they want to get the highest score and win.

Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

The main theme that runs through the rot of Congress is 80% of them are lazy and hate their jobs

We're in this situation because Republicans would rather quit than lose a primary. Like the end result of your frustration with Trump ends with you out of Congress, yet you can't stand the ego blow of losing? Soft

This is just life under climate warlords

This shouldn't be hard to understand !!

2015: it’s Black Friday! 2025: it’s Black Friday week! 2035: October is the start of Black Friday quarter! 2045: *gun to head* Black Friday starts December 26th

my private memo is raising a lot of questions already answered by my private memo

what could possibly go wrong

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call. I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

it's wild to watch this happening in a situation where we've had no prior military engagements with the country or recent attack to even drum up a public desire for vengeance. nothing at all is going down but Trump is clearly trying to push Iraq 2.0 on the country.

planned economy but it's just the president dictating what he wants to see on his television

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they overturned women’s constitutional right to an abortion three years ago

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

This has been my point from the beginning. The error rate in LLM AI is wildly high and the way the technology works means it can't and won't ever be improved to a level that can actually be trusted.

"Now that I've made a strong point about your hypocrisy and cowardice, I'm going to immediately pivot away because I know you really want to talk about literally anything else and it wouldn't maintain my access to interviews with you if I press too hard."

so who do we think got caught 16 times that they didn't want to act against

Meta is really, really bad, folks.
