Give ‘em hell. ✊🏻

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

::me, wearing my Concord dev shirt, looking directly into the imaginary camera Jim Halpert-style::

I'm still thinking about that stupid-ass MAHA commercial where Mike Tyson admitted to eating 8 quarts of ice cream a day but still blamed processed foods for his weight gain.

Fuck Discord, I'm going back to Gaia Online.

Well this fucking sucks.

"She’s a “writer” the same way I’m a “chef” when I pull a frozen dinner out of the fucking microwave. Someone else did all the work and packaged it together. I just hit the buttons and set the time." Mr. Wendig is in rare form with this one - and he's 100% indisputably correct.

RIP in piss(cord), Discord.

I don’t think people quite understand just how much I hate Kid Rock…

Seattle winning the Super Bowl on the San Francisco 49ers home field is…

If I’m Drake Maye I would be demanding an apology from my offensive line. I expected Seattle to win but that O-Line has absolutely failed him tonight.

Thank God for Bad Bunny because this game is damn-near unwatchable.

Me, a white boy from the Midwest who doesn’t speak a word of Spanish, watching the halftime show: A huevo guey.

The Super Bowl is chock full of AI ads and, from the bottom of my heart, I hope every single company humoring this shit goes bankrupt in glorious fashion, and that the marketing firms responsible for pitching this fuck-awful slop spends the rest of their miserable days fighting off lawsuits.

I’m still not over Sketchers using what looked like AI to show a woman stepping into a slip-on shoe.

Introducing the “AI-BOROS”: the few companies at the ‘top’ of the economy handing each other billions of (debt-ridden) dollars for a product that both doesn’t exist AND doesn’t make any money. and we ALL get to go broke when it inevitably implodes ha ha i love it here!!! youtu.be/ifyaI4TOsDM?...

The Super Bowl is a prominent pat of American culture that we enjoy in many different ways, from getting together with friends to watch it to announcing publicly that we will not be watching it and don‘t even watch football at all.

Finally getting around to watching “Winning Time” and while the show is tremendously put together, I can see why Jerry West wanted to go to war with HBO over his portrayal.

Among the documents in the Epstein files is a letter from the U.S. Attorney’s Office announcing the death of Jeffrey Epstein dated August 9th, 2019. Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th, 2019. It could be a simple administrative fuck-up. That’d be a change of pace. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Maybe it's because I was raised Catholic, but "original sin" was never treated as the "you're born guilty, repent" stain on our soul that some denominations see it. We viewed it more as the origin story for evil, a kind of "humans can be dicks - here's why!" Calvinism, on the other hand... ho boy.

This is yet another request for the people whom I otherwise respect to stop using Substack. They've been struggling with their "Nazi problem" for going on three years now.

"There's a new movie adaptation of The House of the Dead." Oh, sweet. "Starring Isabela Merced." Oh, sweet! "And directed by Paul W.S. Anderson." Oh... oh.

“our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I keep muttering "I will not talk about the WGA" under my breath like Bruce Banner desperately trying to keep himself from going green, I swear to god...

I’m late to the party on this one but holy crap this documentary from Eddy Burback.

"Twitter is cooking their brains" theory looking pretty strong

Sigh. *deletes Fleet Command off iPad*

Anyone telling you that "AI tools" have become "the norm" are trying to sell you on "AI tools."

- Ran a tropical pedophile resort for the world's elite - Inspired the creation of /pol/ - Worked to amplify and weaponize Gamergate - May have invented modern-day micro-transactions? - Crashed the global economy Jeffrey Epstein really was some evil Forrest Gump doppelgänger, I swear...

I had drafted up a very long post outlining my own grievances with the WGA that touch on this, but I fear the tone would have taken away from the point Anna is making here so I’ll simply say that she’s correct. She is 100% correct.

I’m so glad that I’m not the only person who remembers the V.I.P. game (it is terrible, but the show this was based on was kinda fun in a cheesy late-90s way).

🎵 Go low, baby, go low Go low, baby, go low It's time, baby, to show How low can you go 🎵

I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.

Every time I catch up on the Epstein emails, it always plays out like... "Bill Clinton... Richard Branson... Prince Andrew... WALTER CRONKITE?! ... Elon Musk... Kevin Spacey? Yeah, that makes sense, actually... Steve Bannon... Stephen Hawking? How would that... nevermind... PHIL COLLINS?! NO!"

hey, quick question: what’s it gonna take

JUSTIFIED “FUCK ICE” CHANTS #AEWDynamite

Given the temperature of the general populace right now I genuinely cannot imagine any scenario where this doesn’t end with a whole lot of people being really, really mad.

Oh hell yes. This is going to be a fantastic collection.

This wouldn’t surprise me. As Rolling Stone outlined last summer, there have been several studies conducted which all point to the same conclusion: excessive wealth divorces you from your humanity and literally rots your brain.

this is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway

LITERALLY STORMFRONT WAS OPENLY INVOLVED FROM THE FIRST MONTH and people acted like I was being hyperbolic and nagged me not to “godwins law”

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

Literally the only question the Press Corps should be asking Trump (and, indeed, every Republican in government): "What would you say to the Epstein survivors?"

What in the goddamn… Wow.

PCMag is now hiring for TWO roles. The first is for a Writer to cover mobile, and the second is for a Senior Writer to cover mobile. This is the Writer job: www.ziffdavis.com/careers/jobs... This is the Senior Writer job: www.ziffdavis.com/careers/jobs...

SpaceX is propped up by US government contracts. SpaceX now owns xAI. xAI develops Grok, the CSAM-bot. Elon Musk is using United States government funding - paid for by US taxpayer dollars - to fund a CSAM-making chatbot.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

Let's just say this clearly and as loudly as possible: Bari Weiss is now protecting people in the Epstein files. The head of CBS News is protecting people in the Epstein files. There's no "woke mob" about it. If she won't back down on this, what else is she doing with CBS's Epstein reporting?

Hell yeah.

The sentiment is laugh-out-loud funny on its face, but this quote in particular: "When you write for a video game, there’s no one to pushback except your own imagination." Paul. Bubby. No. If this were remotely in the realm of being even partially true, I'd still have all my hair.
