I love how Zelinsky zooms over, cutting down on the amount of time Trump is awkwardly waddling down the stairs. That dude is putting up with a lot just to keep his country alive, and I respect it.

Every once in a while, I'll be talking about global politics with my boomer dad, and I'll think he and I are on the same page about how Russia sucks before he slips a bit and implies that he thinks they're still run by communists. Which... fine. We agree living in Russia sucks, but not *why*.

Was talking to a kid and she’d never heard of cooties. What a lucky generation. All those cooties shots worked.

billions of dollars and everlasting fame to whoever figures out how to stop webpages from loading new elements just as you’re about to click on something

25 years ago there was a problem in programming that programmers would quickly bang out a prototype, a mock version of the thing written in a language that lets you bang out prototypes quickly. And their managers would be like "excellent, we'll ship it" Programmer: but this is basically pseudocode

Don't need to imagine, Sinatra had something to say about multicultural liberal democracies 🧵

I mean... that's probably a best case scenario at this point: no civilian casualties.

Anybody seen this movie It’s a Wonderful Life ? Shit’s crazy… @thecroftonshow.bsky.social @jackob1.bsky.social @milesofgray.bsky.social #itsawonderfullife #christmas #america #xmas #christmasmovies

That Andrew "wife guys are gay" Tate got bodied by an opponent wearing pink boxing gloves tells me that satire as a form of fiction is dead, but non-fiction satire may have a future.

Oh hey, its that guy who auto blocks people on Twitter if they mention his name (Steven Pinker) and Jeffrey Epstein in the same tweet. He's the one on the right, opposite Jeffrey Epstein.

Well, they can't run on codifying Roe v Wade or civil rights protections, so they found a new thing to be elected to do.

Heck yeah Capcom

Was very close to fighting someone from another office over a Teams message this morning before looking them and realizing they are about 60. Remembered the below tweet and chose peace instead. Be proud of me.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

well well well if it isn’t the blowjob brothers

Bjork's hitboxes are wild

Swen Vincke of Larian Studios responded to backlash for using AI with a promise to rewind time to before anyone knew about that. paletteswap.site/dif...

one of the funnier aspects to the AI backlash is the fact that they're negatively polarizing much of the tech enthusiast demographic against them by making hobbyist PC building functionally unaffordable

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

repeating “the lady who handcuffed herself to the twitter building has veto power over national security personnel” to myself over and over and slowly going insane

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

Alrighty then.

crazy all the websites and paypros are doing their big No Horny Allowed crackdown while every online advertisement now is iether "AI SEX HOT AI CHAT NO FILTER BOOB AI FURRY GIRLFRIEND only for adults ages 6+" or "NPR is now teaming up with Bumfights dot com to revolutionize gamified asset trading"

its so crazy that young people became less interested in movies & tv at the same time weird tech guys mostly started deciding what gets made

Talking to an LLM is like talking to an actor: it’s trained to give realistic-looking responses. You ask a question thinking you’re talking to Dr House but it’s really Hugh Laurie doing improv, and he’s not going to respond with “I don’t know, I’m not a doctor” because that would be terrible improv.

"An essential step in the fascist march to acceptance and power was to persuade law-and-order conservatives and members of the middle class to tolerate fascist violence as a harsh necessity in the face of Left provocation." - Robert O. Paxton, The Anatomy of Fascism (2004)

Some things transcend language, like spite.

"i miss shitting my pants" is the most nytimes op ed headline there could be

Well, he wasn't wrong: its not in the Middle East.

You know if this pans out, we might not need to wait for the midterms for Congress to turn blue

american oligarchs uniformly abandoned a lifetime of democratic support because it was easier for them to believe that “based meme” accounts run by czechoslovakian teens were proof of a mass populist movement in service to elon musk than face the hard truth that most people hate their fucking guts

Two years ago tonight we were setting up dumpster dived pink tents for migrants in the freezing cold and wind in the desert, they were held there for days without food water or shelter other than what we could share with them. That was the Biden admin, in case anyone thinks it was all good before.

Crying at Ronald Reagan bearing silent witness

My Ted Turner colorization concludes (for now) with one of my favorite entries in the "Stuff I Did in the '80s" series: running a D&D game for my sister, little brother and our neighbor. Roll for initiative!⚔️🛡️ I'll announce what I am doing with these newly colorized images soon!

I think the word you’re looking for is “kept”

Its sad how AI ended up being is a blend of Clippy and that fucking purple ape.

Please someone give me a job.

as someone who really thought there wasn’t much there for the longest time I cannot draw any conclusion other than “they are monumentally terrible” at this point

Drain that swamp. Suck it dry. Fondle the swamp's b-

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

so, today I got the surgery center where I got my deviated septum fixed to send me an itemized bill so I could submit to my FSA for reimbursement my out of pocket cost: $473 what my insurance paid: $4258 what they tried to charge my insurance (not a misprint): $173692

Ben Shapiro tells Megyn Kelly that to avoid vile extremists like Nick Fuentes “the first thing people need to do is turn off X, which is poisoning brains and making people think not true things.” Yet, Shapiro continues to post there, often multiple times a day. youtu.be/tprng5mObQg?...
