I've been reading a ton of history the past few years to help process all the crazy shit going on, and it's helped me understand that almost all of the existential problems we face today are the same ones people faced literal thousands of years ago... except this one 👇

lmao the large scale cultural mortification of having our intellectual advances shitcanned by a child whose balls audibly have not dropped yet

Not now, mysterious large steel cylinder suddenly emerging from the ground in Japan! www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

new bluesky handle just dropped

Traffic cameras are surveillance and therefor bad sorry bye

this is one of the most openly critical pieces of reporting I've seen a major outlet publish about Trump in recent memory www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

i think one of the reforms we need to do for woke is make all computer guys take humanities classes again and also if they complain about them they have to take more humanities classes

This is a cliff on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It's about 1 km tall. If you jumped from the top, it would take you 47 minutes to reach the bottom, and you'd probably be OK.

June and I had an idea for a bumper sticker and now it exists in real life

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit.

it’s really funny that people call this the most unemployed website because everyone i follow on here just has, like, a job. this is the only place i’ve ever been online where people have a job

Yes! Yes! Yes!

it still blows my mind that Girl Talk's "Night Ripper" made it to Spotify. Most older movie soundtracks can't even get on there without losing a couple tracks due to rights disputes. some music journalist should inquire, because this seems like a legal miracle open.spotify.com/album/12l2wz...

This is the pentagon press corp now: hand picked propagandists

so, he's definitely suggested in a meeting using the bomb by this point, right?

Donkey and Tiger

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and gas is six dollars a gallon. But at least now they’re not tearing down a statue of a Confederate general that I’ve never heard of in a city that I’ve never been to.

this would 100% be my parents. My mom would be thriving in months, and my dad would die in a hole

Yeah I did slow blink at you dude. It's a form of showing trust. No it's fine I get that you don't want to slow blink back

it's kinda funny to just say out loud that your plan is to charge rent on thinking

the boys chat asked me to describe my burger in fancy New American restaurant speak, so: A non-Angus beef handheld topped with historic American cheese, a seasoned-tomato reduction sauce, spicy Franco-American Dijon, and chopped veggies, all served on a farm-to-table bun from Pepperidge Farm

remember that time Eleanor Roosevelt put her baby in a cage and then hung them out the window of her townhouse like some cockatiel?

the people running this war think about the US military in the same way a four year-old thinks that their dad is the strongest person in the world

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.

not only is this funny, but it's also incredible evidence of how these people have never thought through a complex problem once in their entire lives

*Picard voice* COMPUTER. INDICA. BODY HIGH. CHILL.

been kinda picking at writing an argumentative essay the past few days about how the analogizing of the human brain as some sort of "bio computer" is a really dumb idea and rampant problem for humanity. I don't know if I'll do anything with it, but it's been good for me

oh damn, dawg. I would have never guessed that someone getting unfairly punched in the face by a bunch of bully nerd lingers would motivate the victim to end them

the way it seems right now, irans goal is to destroy our economy and our goal is to provide footage for dank memes the administration can post so edgelords will think theyre cool

wish she’d just said “I wanted people to like me” or “I hated myself” or “I hated myself and I wanted people to like me and the desperation to be liked, in its nihilistic totality, is the purest expression of self-loathing there is, dissolving the notion that human life might have worth or dignity”

You know what tho

you can tell Wired has been doing good journalism lately because there's been increased whining by the extraction class about how Wired mysteriously changed in the decade since tech titans fully revealed themselves as sociopaths from this recent Dorsey interview:

tfw when the battletech facebook group is about to start questioning the spacex roadmap

the funniest aspect of the Grammarly thing is that they rolled the dice on screwing a bunch of people who: 1) Know how to communicate their discontent well 2) Tend to lean anti-AI 3) Have large platforms to pummel you on it's the greedy idiot picking a fight with Reacher, but for word nerds

I can't believe Grammarly did me like this. This company needs to go!

I used to interview rappers for several years for a small national magazine called WonkaVision. I interviewed people like Del The Funky Homosapien, El-P (before his Run the Jewels days), Atmosphere, Girl Talk, and KRS-One

I've struggled to get into classical music in the past, but I'm trying to broaden my horizons here. Anyone have suggestions of something I can really sink my teeth into? Not just a song, but an entire symphony or opera or something?

switching to a Kobo e-reader has been awesome. Really a first class experience. My only beef is that I haven't been able to jailbreak my Amazon Kindle books yet. I leave them there in hopes that one day consumer protections will be a thing again

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

I was on a plane last night and some guy stood up and congratulated the captain when Bam broke Kobe's record. Everyone cheered.

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

I feel like another thing that hasn't been spoken about at all is that even if AI was creating more efficiency, knowledge workers would never own up to it, or use that time to do more work. They would just be thankful for the breathing room and less stress

Ooga booga big Ooga booga strong I’m gonna post An ooga booga kong

having one of those days where the open corruption, philistine attitiudes, and relentless lack of consequences are really getting me down, which is just a type of day I have occasionally now
