“Malware burned my risotto” is not a zero probability event

Bari Weiss wouldn't be where she is if James Bennet and Bret Stephens hadn't gone hard in the paint to force her on us. She's a fucking moron with zero real experience and she hates doing her job. The NYT caused this to happen because they wanted to hire as many right wingers as possible. Whoops!

COOL WORLD (1992)

heads up if you talk to me this way im allowed to sneak into your house at night and extract one of your teeth. and i do NOT know what im doing

It’s flammin Crazy Taxi. Why do you need AI to make Crazy Taxi. Have you atrophied so much that your brains cannot conceive of “taxi drives recklessly in hyper-saturated city while The Offspring plays”

Any time a Spanish speaking government does right by its poorest the New York Times summons the ghost of United Fruit

Running a right wing media company is basically the easiest job in the world and the fact that Bari Weiss can’t do it is so funny to me

Scott Pelley had apparently never heard of Bari Weiss before her appointment at CBS, and that makes this takedown all the more brutal. No old Twitter grudges, no sides-taking in thediscourse wars. Just his considered observation of her incompetence, carelessness, venality and disrespect.

When this kind of shit gets written - essentially complaining that the discourse/country/world hasn't become right-wing enough to satisfy them - you know what you never see? Other conservatives warning them against falling into 'purity politics'.

After consulting with my attorney I’ve been advised that what I actually want to say about this would be ill-advised so I’ll just say that he couldn’t possibly be clearer about which side of D-Day he’s identifying with

Unions, not governments, are the front line of real world AI regulation.

ME (listening to the afghan whigs): you know, despite what this guy keeps insisting, he doesn't sound like a gentleman at ALL

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

First person present is the jumbo red crayon of tenses

the AI rollout has easily the worst messaging of any technology I’ve ever seen it’s not even so much the underlying tech - a lot of people like the chatbots - but the continued promises that it’s going to ruin your life and there’s nothing you can do about it well - you can fight data centers

i yearn for the days when "brain fever" or "nervous breakdown" were acceptable excuses for "too upset to function" and you could just lie abed with the occasional sip of beef tea for nourishment and have long baths

im sick of romanticizing the 90s. it was a fucking nightmare. kids were drinking capri suns and turning into liquid metal abominations left and right. thousands of children were alex macked

How's that working out, dipshits

the printer keeps jamming, and worse, it's playing Phish

“I’m Jake Tapper” “I’m Ben Shapiro” “I’m Steven Pinker” “I’m Waingro” “And I’m Whitney Cummings. Those stories and The Critical Drinker, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

Basically Bari Weiss

I find it comforting that the widely shared journalism industry experience “being canned by a moron boss brought in from outside by other morons” extends all the way up to 60 Minutes. Media is still a blue collar field after all.

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

want entirely made up sales predictions? why not pay a human! i can generate random numbers like a motherfucker

such nightmares i will make for your company

if you are planning to invest in or pay for AI, I have a super clever hack for you: Send the money directly to me and I will craft you *bespoke* errors and hallucinations.

god i wish switching careers wasn't such a nightmare these days. cannot imagine the sort of networking this shit requires in 2026

I am the city and i must scream

Never a bad time to watch Pharoah Sanders performing "Kazuko" in an abandoned tunnel in the Marin Headlands circa 1982.

I may have eaten human flesh in Michigan today

you can't really begrudge your kids about drugs when you have a photo of you and Carrie FIsher holding a bong

people are making fun of this but like there's no way these two aren't having the most fun anyone has ever had in human history

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

Reminds me of this chaotic Schrader story where he fell hard for Nastassja Kinski while making Cat People and flew to Paris to find her. From Biskind’s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls

Home Depot and the estate of Stan Lee have announced a new partnership to bring Lee back through the incredible power of a shovel

I'm as adjacent as the next guy

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.
