"If they bring a knife to the fight, you put your knife away and hope to lead by example."

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

Very cool, Burger King advertising right next to racism

Are we serious right now? Why are we referring to 15-year-old girls as women?

When you feel imposter syndrome sneaking up on you, just remember that JD Vance lectured the Pope on theology.

me seeing an article about the 25 Hottest and Most Popular Celebrities: haha who are any of these people? me seeing a screenshot of a horrible post by CeleriusAvignon8888, Based Viscount of the New Bayesian Duchy of Pure Reason: oh it's this fuckin guy again

they caught this cop being horny on main in the middle of a swat operation lmaooo

if you buy the camera sunglasses they should put you on the sex offender registry

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

they should make a type of logging off that is equivalent to slamming down an old phone handset after hanging up on someone

(making small talk with my gf’s dad at our first dinner) Richard i don’t like the way you speak to your wife

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

in persian culture, telling someone "we're going to kill you all" is considered deeply offensive

Congress is so funny. The world could be blown to smithereens and half of them would be like not sure this is a kitchen table issue.

Are the Baileys holding this guy hostage?

Staring at Earth from space, it’s humbling to realize that tiny blue dot was home to every Nintendo console

Letterbox is the best social media app because it’s 99% finding cool new movies from friends and 1% like a Free Willy Stan gets mad at you

extremely bad time for an astronaut to find out he's a werewolf

JERRY: She's a ten! But the mole… ELAINE: That's it? A mole?? JERRY: A ten can't have a mole! GEORGE: A nine…? A nine could have a mole… [Maya Angelou enters, applause] MAYA ANGELOU: See to the slickness of your floor, Jerome. Easily I could slip coming through the door as swiftly as I've just done.

I’m sorry, if you’re a journalist and you’re still going to the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, fuck off.

whatever you do, do NOT google "Pat Tillman" or "Jessica Lynch"

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

This is NOT what I signed up for

He lived through slavery and did nothing. Good riddance.

Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Beware pundits with three names

Excellent article! Speaking as a breast cancer survivor, every fuckbrained idiot in town will turn up and try to tell you crap like eating a frozen lemon every day will cure you. Cut these assholes off. Get to a cancer center and do what they tell you. Science works.

Transphobia cooks your brain. You spend years screaming "everyone fits neatly into two sexes!" and then reality hands you Khelif or Caster Semenya and you can't adjust. You can't say "this is more complicated than I thought." You just call her a man, because the framework demands it. Fundamentalism.

Been thinking about it since I saw JK Rowling posted this yesterday about the IOC's new policy, calling Imane Khelif a man. Imane Khelif was born female. She was raised as a girl. Her original birth certificate says female. She's always been a woman. But sure. "Men punching women."

BREAKING: The PA Supreme Court holds that mandatory life without parole sentences for all "felony murder" convictions -- a sentence more than 1,000 people in PA are serving -- violates the state constitution's "cruel" punishment ban. This is GROUNDBREAKING: www.pacourts.us/assets/opini...

Winona Ryder's artistic peak was this and nothing comes close. youtu.be/5XHrsOdwF2U?...

The thing about being an 88-year-old is that every day you get older.

Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.

The worst part about Bluesky: posts about Bluesky. I like informative and funny and interesting things, and bitching about or defending the site where these exist is not funny or interesting or the world. But I also don't go to restaurants and talk all night about the plates, so maybe it's me.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

If there is one thing we know about revolutions it's that whoever wins should have broad, unchecked power over things like speech because it's guaranteed that allowing them to suppress the bad words will never lead to them suppressing the good words. There are no counterexamples to this.

"Everyone is an evil sociopath, so I am normal and good."

People keep saying the Constitution was set up specifically to stop tyrants and mad kings, but the thing most of the notably unusual features of our Constitution were actually designed to do was protect slavery.

Making everyone nervous by saying "check this shit out" while holding my baby

Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say: To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race, I would love to talk. Let me know.

Well, it happened to me... a State Dep't librarian reached out to me for a copy of "Copyright Law, Generative AI, and Market Substitution" (2023) in the Cardozo A&ELJ. It's a hallucination.

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives? A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit. Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit? A: No, we didn’t.

oh hell yes, had kalshi getting charged before april on polymarket at +2500

All art should be about everything all the time, and it should be about everything I personally care about and it should flatter me for caring about it. The people who made it should be perfect and also agree with my thing

DOGE was a huge win for the Effective Sociopathy movement
