More of this. Use every one of Trump's giveaways as an excuse to hammer him about restoring ACA subsidies.

So they made a café specifically for me but it CLOSED?!

I became an AI skeptic bc the only cogent use cases AI boosters gave were, "a better search engine". but regular search engines already worked fine for 99% of people. the few folks who needed something more were like, me and my colleagues, none of whom found tremendous value in AI search tools

"The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN." www.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Podcast hosts, for the love of God, please stop saying "The [blank] of it all."

Hooo boy do not look at the comments under trailers for NUREMBERG.

FYI part of our current problem with air traffic controllers began when Reagan fired a bunch of them en masse during a strike. That meant a bunch of new ones were all hired at the same time, and unsurprisingly began retiring all at the same time a few years ago.

K-Pop Demon Hunters has a real “Star Wars launched without a toy line” feel to it.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

God finally descends to Earth and it turns out he’s made like three other Earths since this one, and ours is the biggest disappointment. “Why can’t you be more like Earth Delta? They still killed Jesus, but they did it by hugging him too much.”

A very happy “Hong Kong is Within the Humidity Band That Spray Primers are Made For” Week to all who celebrate.

The anthology that includes my Warhammer 40k short story about tankists, "Worm of Valhalla", is finally out - not just for pre-order! The audiobook version is also fun because you get to find out which of the characters are Scottish. www.amazon.com/Death-Duty-A...

Camping out in the wilds of Hong Kong, on a beach best accessed by speedboat.

Quick note about this again; the 100 mile zone has nothing to do with Border Patrol’s ability to operate. They can operate anywhere in the country. The 100 mile zone is ONLY about where they have heightened stop and search powers. It’s not a jurisdictional thing.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Also how “great” it was to be a worker in the 60s-80s. My mom spent most of her working life with workplace sexual harassment and abuse being not only legal but “normal.” My dad worked jobs where fistfights at work carried little penalty. And both lived through recessions we’ve now just forgotten.

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

So I saw PREDATOR: BADLANDS and really enjoyed it! Felt like the Alien and Predator licensed comics and novels I grew up with that used the IP and its background to tell an unusual, high-concept sci-fi story (Aliens Crime Thriller, Aliens Gothic Horror, etc.) I like that they’re doing weird stuff.

I saw Park Chan-wook's latest last night and found it far more entertaining than a film about a man desperately striving to be employed again should be. There were scenes that got me laughing hysterically and gulping for air! Oh, and it's so intense that it nearly caused me to have a migraine!🤯

Good news! You can now try Nebula for free for 3 days. This includes all Originals, early access videos and more. We hope you'll like it enough to subscribe! go.nebula.tv/techaltar

I sorta buried the lede here by not adding that this is the latest film by OLDBOY director Park Chan-wook. (Though it is nowhere near as violent, I should add.) Still mentally unpacking what a great movie this was.

Sky News's data forensics team has spent 9 months examining the algorithm on Elon Musk's X platform, and found it clearly promotes right wing views to new users of the site, even to those who deliberately only follow left wing accounts. This short film explains more www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq6M...

Oh yes? #ai #pirated #books #openai 👀⚖️📚💻

Oh my God y’all. OH MY GOD. Go see the Korean comedy-thriller NO OTHER CHOICE as soon as you possibly can. I will be floored if it doesn’t win Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards. I have not laughed this hard in a movie in years. Without hyperbole, this film is a masterpiece.

We’ve done things like this (last night we used a Ziploc bag, but we’ve used a box before) but even then it’s pretty hard to extract it without waking them. …especially if your kid has a bunk bed.

Whoever invented this tooth fairy thing didn’t think through how hard it is to find a child’s tooth under a pillow without waking them.

Yeah, as everyone has been saying, fentanyl doesn’t get smuggled from South America.

Wait, you’re telling me the party of “Fire All the DC Civil Servants that Live in Virginia” lost badly in Virginia?

In that case, can I sue CBS for millions of dollars? Asking for a friend. Also, America.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

It actually is mind blowing to check out X and see what is essentially 4chan which is also populated with politicians, media figures, "thought leaders" etc. A dystopian horror, really. Where neo-Nazis now have equal standing with mainstream leaders. There is a reason Fuentes is now so mainstreamed.

Literally the return of the Know Nothing Party.

Yeah I’m a longtime Adams fan and this was always one of my favorite parts of the Hitchiker’s universe. Everything is so deferential to the customer even the cows are genetically engineered to want to be eaten. FWIW I always thought he was spoofing US customer service “Have a Nice Day” culture.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Toho has officially revealed the title of its next “Godzilla” feature: “Godzilla -0.0” (Godzilla Minus Zero). The film will once again be written, directed and supervised for VFX by Yamazaki Takashi (Godzilla Minus One). No plot or release date has yet been announced.

All aboard the brain drain train!

Kill team is absolutely great, and perfect for parents who might not be able to escape for a whole big Warhammer battle. Also it lets you paint a lot of different types of miniatures so you end up dipping a toe into factions you always liked but where couldn’t commit to building a full army.

This movie absolutely rules.

Noticing the wonderful things & people in your life is a useful, sustaining habit, AND no one ever made the world a better place by telling themselves they have no right to feel low because others have it worse. There's zero moral hazard in self compassion. You're not plundering a finite stash.

It's entirely possible, I assure you! Some folks don't like my humor, or my writing style, or how I develop characters, etc. That's totally fine! No author is for everyone, and that includes me. I appreciate that people try my work, and if it's not for them, I hope they find something else great.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Me going out to buy Halloween candy while listening to the episodes of Spooked and Camp Monsters I’ve saved for this exact errand run.

Not sure about this new manicurist. She kept calling it a “Nailmacure” and claimed she invented it, then talked about Twilight Sparkle for like 20 minutes.

Literally.

Well it was this and they wanted to end the game by cuddling. Most violent and twisted logic for sweet and innocent ends.

“Daddy now that you, the bad guy, are dead we’re going to cut off your arms and legs and your head and set you on fire so you’re toasty warm and now we have a lovely pillow.” Man, here is nothing more grimdark than the mind of a six-year-old.

baseball posting is unambiguously good for Bluesky. not my thing but we desperately need some lighter topics round these parts

it's fun how the degenerate gambling/crypto/corruption plotlines are all converging.
