The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof. That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy. The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

I violently agree with this dek: “The idea that Democrats are weirdly and extremely obsessed with "identity politics" and pronouns is a right wing propaganda fiction not supported by polling data, and Democratic party leaders should not be perpetuating it.”

I can tell you this writer is my least favorite kind of motherfucker customer. As a barista it's my job to manage complicated drink orders and it's not actually terribly difficult to do. This asshole rolls his eyes when his wife says "skim milk please" and we all think she should leave him.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

about to go stage at a rap battle and i see my opponent holding a file with my name on it i glance in the crowd and my therapist is there wearing a new fur coat

Just watched OR SOMETHING (2024, dir. Jeffrey Scotti Schroeder) which asks the question "what if the Subway Takes guy was in an unromantic and cynical Before Sunrise type of movie?" and I gotta say it won me over. Check it out on Mubi if you want to really enjoy an okay time for 85 minutes.

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

I'm on record saying I want my death politicized, but if it's done like this I swear to God I will be up out of that casket to drag you to hell with me.

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

Anybody have any information about how to donate books to Andrew Tate while he's in Saudi jail?

Please god let this end the funniest possible way

we are so back (in town)

I suspect that Tate, like Lea Michele, can't read.

Everything else aside, is the older I get and the more we live in a dystopia the harder it is to ignore that Firefly is fundamentally a lost cause narrative. I don't want to root for the confederates.

Korea vet, glass factory worker. Korea-era vet, UAW tool & die maker.

reading over Malliotakis v. Williams and lowkey think New York courts/the NY Redistricting Commission should be like...since the Supreme Court clearly lacked jurisdiction to intervene in the case at this time, we are treating it as the nonbinding advisory opinion that it is, thanks for the input tho

I'm genuinely impressed at how tedious Scary Movie 6 looks

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

I'm a little behind, and so starting STARFLEET ACADEMY e07 now. I like this show a lot, but with love and respect to those involved I do not care for the gesture at an opening credits theme that it's got.

If OpenAI partnering with DOD is the thing to finally get you to decide you shouldn't be using ChatGPT, I guess I'm glad you got there(?) but also I could not think much less of you.

I guess they rejected OPERATION BLOW UP CHILDREN TO DISTRACT FROM THE FACT THAT WE RAPE CHILDREN

Hot take: If you have ever written an article for a content mill with a headline "Remember that little girl from that classic movie? Here's what she looks like as a sexy lady, today!" you should get the death penalty.

I've know Alexis for about 15 years so if you want a Brett Banditelli Congress she's your choice.

This rules. Alexis has been on my radar since OWS. Just one of the realest ones. www.democracynow.org/2026/2/18/al...

Open borders create more safety than closed ones, and most of the benefits of safety are downriver from being the sort of people who keep their borders open, thereby avoiding the terrible dangers inherent to being the sort of people who would keep their borders closed.

Oook. That's enough.

I really just want to skeet about movies

I considered removing my skeet from that quote of Will's but hilariously the replies remain like 50/50 not in Will's favor.

Imagine looking around this country or, worse, living in Minneapolis, and coming to the conclusion that the Democratic Party as we have known it is sufficient.

Scratch a Democrat, get a Nazi. Every time.

Someone demanding you agree to vote for Newsom is demanding absolution, they feel a building shame and guilt for their complicity in this system but rather than self-reflect or reconsider, they demand the more victimized absolve them by agreeing that there is no alternative to that complicity

Every time I see the "on Threads" bar inside Instagram it's Hasan Piker themed ragebait. I don't think I can defend using Instagram, though I do, but I really think people gotta get the fuck off of Threads. It is so nakedly a ragebait generator it's really kind of astounding from the outside.

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

Today I learned that the rad synth song playing in the trailer to The Warriors is a) by Tangerine Dream and b) is their theme to Sorcerer, entitled "Betrayal."

nw SORCERER (1977, dir. William Freidkin) Been meaning to check this one out, I've heard it's very calm and chill. Just a nice hangout movie.

I think I blocked Will Stancil on here back when he was infuriating but mostly irrelevant and now that he's a main character I don't even remember his handle to unblock him

nw: YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE (2017, dir. Lynne Ramsay) Finishing up my Blank Check fueled Lynne Ramsay career survey. I'm sure this one is a cheery lark just like the rest!

I would love any one of these bumblefucks to define "Shariah Law" for me.

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Honestly, it has to be a weird time to be a figure in pop culture due the president being Literally The Worst. Like, Elmo can say sharing is good and somebody in his X mentions will say “Elmo, you rotten son of a bitch. This goes against everything President Trump stands for.” And that’s not wrong.

Still thinking about that ragebait article I saw about moms mad that Sabrina said "I like a kink" on The Muppet Show, a show "safe for toddlers/preschool."

photo from a friend at a lego convention right now, amazing 🌭

Well I'm sure that ChatGPT is linking out to these local outlets, or at least paying for this journalism right? Right guys?

I understand there's a lot more to each sport, but if you want a single example of why Formula One interests me in a way that NASCAR doesn't: F1 has been engaged in a weeks long debate over to what extent the governing body will measure and regulate the way engine manufacturers take advantage of
