I wish I liked anything as much as Dan Stevens likes doing accents.

Might be time to retire the phrase “They’re saying the quiet part out loud” because there’s no longer a quiet part

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

Discourse about finding "the Rogan of the Left" or "the liberal answer to Fox News" rarely accounts for the reality that the entire conservative media universe is the enormously unprofitable vanity project of a few rich sociopaths. It "succeeds" because they don't care how much it costs.

So, you want a safe, vigorously monitored, age-restricted internet that's still totally anonymous, protects your privacy, and allows you to speak freely?

Gonna do a Big Grande podcast recap show where every episode is just "This one was so hilariously stupid and I love it."

Never, in a million years, could you guess who it is. I want you to guess in the replies before watching it, but DO NOT SPOIL IT.

The internet is effectively the realization of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, except for the Don't Panic part.

Are we still posting our raw datasets now that they're being farmed for genAI-written papers? I'm starting to feel differently now sharing data before I'm totally done with my own research questions...

The law needs to catch up on this, AND QUICK. This is HORRIFYING and totally covert manosphere shit. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My condolences, May 1st birthday twentysomethings. Enjoy your rent increase, moving, and/or helping your friends move away for the summer!

Looking back it's pretty clear that the establishment of Badass as a viable third state between Good and Bad was one of the worst, most consequential, cultural products this century.

This is a big reason why "look at this graph, it says you're better off" generates rage on here. It's detached from the fact that nothing is ever going to go down in price ever again without a huge and probably quite forceful intervention from ~somewhere~

I have to agree with the raves. HBO's "Neighbors" is a fascinating descent into a hateful, monetized, panoptic hell--that is, America.

If only I had a dollar for every morning sigh

John Le Carre sitting down to invent George Smiley: * devious bureaucrat * ingenious strategist * huge cuck. heroically cucked.

A long long time ago everything was very densely packed. It was all in there, luckily enough, although we might ponder what there was. Then, suddenly, BANG, all at once, everything was everywhere. Without even meaning to, we had the universe, which is a concept humans made up to mean everything.

Over 50% of American adults can't read above a 6th grade reading level, and this is an absolutely catastrophic civil rights crisis with implications for every facet of individual and collective life, including processing political statements by politicians, doctors, and so on

A US soldier used classified info to win $400K on Polymarket. Three congressional candidates were fined for betting on themselves. Meanwhile, Trump’s whole family is all in on prediction markets.

This is not the time for wild speculation about what happened. It’s time to bet on Kalshi about what happened

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! I hope you enjoy the cake you had to order, the card you passed around, and/or the gift card you'll inevitably use for work stuff!

I think the banker may be cheating at Monopoly. Time to intensely study the rules while they'll surely sit quietly and abide by my findings.

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

It's so funny to me that right-wingers love to pretend to love the Middle Ages and the Crusades and all that and then complain that the Pope shouldn't get involved in politics.

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

#BlueJays fans, there's no way we can lose this season unless, of course, our nine all-stars fall victim to nine separate misfortunes and are unable to play. Three misfortunes, that's possible. Seven misfortunes, there's an outside chance. But nine misfortunes? I'd like to see that!

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Geez I wonder if anyone makes a bundle in the stock market tomorrow.

Typing & backtracking & deleting & starting over. Staring at a blank screen again. Needing to say ~something~ that no one will hear anyway. I expected stupid, selfish, corrupt. Years of it even. I honestly didn't expect evil. I'm just so inchoately furious, so tired, so exasperated, all the time.
