The whole party has been consumed by the mods of a 2014 incel forum where people talk about shooting up a supermarket because they saw a woman in yoga pants.

this is serious; ICE agents in foreign environments (eg Chicago) dry up in their carapace within 18 hours without a regular supply of energy drink and punisher logos; by noon they won't even be able to flex in the mirror to make themselves feel like big boys; the decline after that is precipitous

Quote with your first anime. I was gonna post Trigun, but then I remembered this playing on Nickelodeon in the mid-80s.

Trump did promise to run the government like one of his businesses, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it shut down again

the democrats do not listen to this particular random dude on the internet, but: do not listen to the stupid headlines, hold the line, let Trump and company brag about how much damage they’re doing fuck these people, give them nothing, show the public that none of this is acceptable or normal

This is a good training video for his “troops.” youtu.be/v0hU29EnlFE?...

This reads like some 40K bullshit, but Altman's trying to talk about how cool that is. This can't end well.

Okay, this has to be a targeted grift somehow, right? This is way too specific, and way too out of the blue to not be part of some cartoonish scheme.

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

A new art piece of mine. I call it "This is Why I Bought the Damn Thing in the First Place".

donald trump is going through full brandonization at an alarming rate

Well, that's fucking ominous...

I'm getting tired of making these.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

the Colorado school shooter from the same day that Charlie Kirk was killed posted himself holding his gun on Twitter / X where he followed multiple far right accounts weird how you wouldn't call on Elon Musk too to testify at an online radicalization hearing

i can write code that doesn't work for free

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

Trump: everyone in the US died from drugs last week Reporter: [nods] Trump: so we must murder on the high seas Reporter: [nods] Trump: I caught Trix rabbit once Reporter: [nods] Trump: the cock on that bunny Reporter: [nods] Trump: bigger than you think Headline: Trump Policy Seeks To Save Lives

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

Goddamn, that's bleak. I feel the need to go see what my son's up to.

Wtf is he on about? Do podcasters go to Valhalla?

“The entire mainstream media environment has been working overtime to sanitize Kirk’s legacy since his murder—a legacy that includes targeted harassment of professors at schools across the country and normalizing the notion that basic human rights are up for ‘debate.’”

This somber assessment following the murder of Charlie Kirk would have a lot greater meaning if Spencer Cox hadn’t gleefully signed a law making Utah a “constitutional carry” state in 2021

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!

Banks: We will not let you have smut about furries or fairies or whatever you sick sick sick sickos Also banks: Oh hello Mr. International Pedophile how can we move your money today?

Rudy Giuliani Awarded Presidential Medal Of Incest

You know what? He's not wrong.

I wonder if the Army would bring that really squeaky tank?

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

Correct. The default Dem position has to be, "I will fire everyone Trump appointed, and everyone hired by anyone Trump appointed, regardless of what any statute or court says." Anything less is a ratification of Trump's actions that leaves the government broken and filled with saboteurs.

Experimental philosophy

I wanted to take a moment to lay out something really basic that's been bugging me about the whole generative "AI" horseshit: The idea of "AI" paying off the gargantuan investment costs is based on scale and the idea that tech will improve and build-out will get cheaper. That's not happening.

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

I'm starting to think studios are releasing stuff that's intentionally bad just to create buzz. That has to be their goal at this point: exposure at any cost.

EATING MY EMOTIONS is there a buffet large enough to soothe this laundry list of outrages is there a recipe to forget a genocide? to forget greed so profound it kills? ask a Senator to make dinner they eat shame - and shit money

I think a lot about how Elizabeth Holmes only got in trouble because she peaked too early, can you imagine a tech CEO losing everything because they have no tangible working product and lied about it today

I think what inoculated me against that bullshit was the time I realized I was friendzoned with a woman who was into D&D, anime, and I had just introduced her to Discworld. But then thought "Well... at least I get a cool friend out of the deal" and she's been my best friend for 20 years now.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

*the marines can't subdue LA, New York on the brink of its first socialist mayor* Pundits: Woke 2 is about jean adverts

In high school, I was complaining about how long the school day was and my teacher turned to me and said, "the days are long, but the years are short" and I was like "what the fuck are you talking about you lunatic" and then the bell rang and now I'm in my 30s.

Only Curtis Yarvin is capable of doing the "inconceivable" bit from Princess Bride, but with the N word. What a blow hard.

This is all I hear any time I see this list
