Exactly right. And, as usual, the hit dogs are hollering on this one.

beyond all human capacity for parody

A lot of small business and indie artists are unaware of uline’s shittiness. They’re bad! Don’t use them! I am currently using mailersUSA.com for my packing materials, and as far as I know they do not fund fascism.

WUK LAMAT SHARD ON THE 4TH THATS A SNOW LEOPARD

the ai ethics I want: empirically informed and analytically sound. The ai ethics we get: pushing infrasound conspiracy theories

I am quite frequently sending this article to people, programmers and non-programmers alike. It has been my unfortunate experience to discover that there are a lot of people who just don't understand this. especially in professional contexts.

This is the final form of the "New York Times" finding a way to blame both sides for a problem that is entirely attributable to one side.

I guess I don't really see how you shoplifting helps workers recover stolen wages from their employers. Feels like kinda a non sequitur argument. Is case "corporations are bad so anything I do to them is morally acceptable?" bsky.app/profile/anbo...

Actual climate people do know what’s up with wind turbine syndrome

You could have funded USAID and given $30bn of firepower to Ukraine, and not be on the verge of tanking the global economy.

The real problem with what Julian Casablancas said was not anything about Zionism. It's that any time you construct a populist movement around "the people" versus "the elites," but explicitly refuse to define the elites on economic grounds, you are veering uncomfortably close to antisemitism.

FINE okay i get it. i will read Baudrillard

the mf who just took 36 duck breasts out of the sous vide

The only other thing I know her from is her complete self-debasement over the game theory tweet Failing upwards seems to be the media's MO

Many people in my mentions proclaiming this the Reichstag fire, and it is very funny to imagine an increasingly-frustrated White House staging false flag after false flag, trying to get somebody to notice.

Literally how did the secret service keep Barack Obama alive

Everyone in that room who reported on RFK Jr as a “vaccine skeptic” who is on one side of a genuine, organic debate helped build the world where someone put 500 bullet holes in the CDC building. They don’t deserve it, but they do have to live in the world they built with the rest of us.

I want to grab these dolts by the collar and give them shaken adult syndrome. It's these or refineries you fucking morons, not pristine prairie

THE DARK KNIGHT (2008, dir. Christopher Nolan)

I respect actual journalism. WHPC is “Tiger Beat on the Potomac” It’s High School bullshit on a political stage.

Anybody wanna take odds on how sober the Director of the FBI is right now

show this to the "the Global South just wants an anprim degrowth utopia" folks

if you thought what we said about the journalists sucking up to Trump was bad, just wait until Trump accuses them of trying to get him killed

the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

Someday within many of our lifetimes they're gonna do another "BATMAN" origin movie where they play that one My Chemical Romance song when we see the Waynes get it and whether you love that or detest it will be a generational taste-defining flashpoint.

This is all so fucking fake. Even if it's real, it's fake.

So just to recap, in the last minute CSPAN says it was a false alarm, CNN says the shooter was killed in the lobby, and the pool report says he's in custody, do I have that right?

no more thought experiments

Honestly, it's supremely irresponsible to the *staff* to keep this disgusting panto act going for a minute longer. No decent person should blame them if they all walked out on a wildcat strike.

There is a nonzero chance a journalist in that room just said “well THAT happened” to laughter at their table

Whoops

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

what an incredible goat rodeo

Baudrillard would have loved this

a plausible scenario to me right now is that somebody dropped some dishes or something, security put some rounds into not-people, they arrested a waiter, and the reason we’re not learning anything is collective LE embarrassment

People seriously ask why I'm so vociferously opposed to the cultural dominance of the single family house as 'homes for homeownership' and the answer is "This way of life is phenomenally unsustainable in the long run and inconsistent with your other objectives, particularly for climate"

taylor lorenz screaming at the shooter for not wearing a mask

Normal people have absolutely had enough and they are starting to cook lmao

Bureaucracy is important for just and equitable administration of government programs. Hating bureaucracy is just sparkling libertarianism.

some of us have to scrape up the corpses caused by that distracted driving, tim. have you ever had to terminate CPR on a human being who was hit by a distracted driver because her fucking brains started leaking out of her skull? because i sure have. don’t be an asshole.

I think the fundamental failure of the response to J6 is that the other branches did not respond in kind to the president abrogating his duties under the constitution and attempting to overthrow the constitution itself, but that failure was almost entirely because of the GOP and DC political culture

all saturday

I'm antagonistic to Piker mainly because I hate campism. Piker is a campist who tends to make excuses for any antagonist of the US, and that's a morally broken position (though to Piker's credit, he fully owned up to being dead wrong about Ukraine and led a fundraising drive for Ukraine).

klay thompson about to be the first nba player forced into retirement because he cheated on a bad bitch

11 Minutes Ago (2007) Really low budget time travel movie, shot in one day and set entirely at a house party in the present day. It’s a really clever film, and you know how I always complain that nobody writes time travel well? This movie sets rules and actually sticks to them.

Socrates: and what is the purpose of a screen? Gloucon: to look at S: just so. And where does one look when driving? G: at the road S: and does a man’s gaze best view object at a time, or two? G: surely just one S: indeed - thus it cannot be proper for a car to have a screen
