Megyn Kelly and Charlie Kirk are a couple of the only human beings whose ignorant and hateful quotes get worse when you give them context.

This is a sad level of 'thirsty' even from a company that loves to lose money and refuses to create a business model. Can't wait to see them lose more billions this year! #OpenAI #AIBubble #chatgtp

When your forced ads take longer to watch than downloading an entire season, your business model sucks, @amazonprime.bsky.social ! #PiracyIsBack #GenV

EA's new logo:

Adobe just announced a major price increase and new "pro" tier. Everyone else is getting away with it, so why not? #FakeQuoteRealSubtext #Adobe #PiracyIsBack @adobe.com @adobelive.bsky.social

This was one of the first gifts I ever gave to my wife. (that press photo is actually from Mr. Goodbar, but Annie Hall is one of my wife's favorite movies) #RIPDianeKeaton

Such an embarrassing display of insecurity and toxicity can only be supported by a very tolerant and loving person. #FakeQuoteRealSubtext #PeteHegseth

Episode 515: State of Play and Expedition 33 This week on the show, we're doing two big segments: Sony's State of Play and all their upcoming game announcements and our talk about this year's breakout hit - Expedition 33. open.spotify.com/episode/2UfB...

True story: Optimism is often a cope for people who love 'blackface'. Eg. Megyn Kelly who LOVES blackface and has no understanding of MLK who openly spoke out against optimism! #MegynKelly #MLK #OptimismIsAlwaysToxic [from an upcoming video]

Jesus, have you ever tried to restart a Roku?! It takes 6 steps! It's like canceling a gym membership, except I can't just transfer my payment to a burner card and tell @lafitness.bsky.social that their collection agency has no gag reflex.

Friendly reminder why your current government/company/organization might be suffering from a wave of incompetence and/or even shutting down...

Even Johnny Thunder knew I'm Alive was just a filler track for live shows. Having taste is why many artists give up, and having none is why Joe Rogan has the confidence to continue.

Totally true story. Seriously, do they even want people to see this movie? #karatekidlegends

I'm sad to know some parents who have completely failed this litmus test. #CharlieKirk #Litmustest

Next time you're on LinkedIn, take a peek at your C-suite connections, and notice how many of them happily use the "MAHA" hashtag. Does money and authority create an immunity to empathy?

This just in: Texas still sucks. Power outages in Oak Hill. #MaybeTexasHatesElectricity #PEC #PedernalesCoop

Happy birthday to Ed Begley Jr, one of the few celebrities I've ever gotten a photo with UN-Ironically. He was doing a podcast I was producing about climate change with Dr. Randy Olson. (my collection of ironic/mistaken identity celebs is in my latest Substack. Link in bio, duh)

Tony Hinchcliffe is the unfunny version of Charlie Kirk.

Our cooked and uncooked shrimpies! #gingercatsofinstagram #siamesecatsofinstagram #Kitteh

It's usually strange when a skeptic would not be surprised by an extremely anamolous hypothetical turning out to be true, but in this case it's predictable and kind of a pathetic cope for hating transgender people.

Aren't you guys a little bit relieved that an unqualified minority didn't take the job you're becoming best known for?

I wonder how many ignorant Americans lost money by not betting on 'white, male, conservative, gun nut' 🤔 "Yeah, but that hits every time. We're overdue for a change up!"

Thinking about the moment when people from other countries look up this "great American" who was assassinated and is being given a posthumous Medal Of Freedom, and they start reading his quotes and seeing his clips. Will they think we're just as hateful and crazy as always or did we find a new low?

Warning: Celebrating the death of one of the worst human beings to ever live is quickly becoming the new tool that companies are using to thin their staff, and increase their quarterly earnings.

Just a fun (no paywall) Substack about my ongoing photo series "Mistaken Science Celebrities". Some amusing anecdotes, trust. open.substack.com/pub/skeptica... #RachelBloom #RichardDawkins #KathyGriffin #DavidSilverman

Tomorrow's boss room will be special, because it will be the first one Hector will be hosting! Its going to be a heck of a topic, and I can't wait for y'all to hear it.

They're messing with us, right? Or just trying to filter out the AI applicants... Right? Am I going crazy? Who's making toast?! #LinkedIn #EditorJob

I wonder if Stanley Cavell ever looked at Leonard Peikoff like "damn, why did I spend a lifetime analyzing and defending a transcendalist? I could have just polished the rambling turds of a cult leading sexual predator, and been rich!" #AynRand

How she spends 1/3rd of her day. Ftr, she's staring at the back of my desk chair while I work. Sometimes I can feel the heat in my back. #OrangeCat #gingercatsofinstagram

I'm so glad I got to meet (and interview) him! He was the only actor the publicist and I requested a photo with during our entire press kit. My favorite role was Leonard in Northern Exposure. Him and Elaine Miles in The Last of Us was the highlight of the series for me. #RIPGrahamGreene

I have a couple of friends working at the Pentagon who told me that Joe Rogan has no gag reflex. We weren't even talking about Joe Rogan when they brought it up. Weird.

How strong are croquet mallets? And how strong does Stephen King think they are? #TheShining

I'm sure the truth is even worse, and I'm betting Baszucki is just waiting for the current administration to make assaulting children legal. He probably won't have to wait very long. #ROBLOX #FakeQuoteRealSubtext #TrumpLovesRoblox

We are putting WAY too much effort into our production value! 🤣 When did television give up? #TryHardFilmmaker #GoodnightAndGoodGame

Your Monday Reminder: Religious mythology has NO place on the shared currency of a free nation #GodNoMoneyMondays

Anytime I hear the suggestion that a government should be run like a business, I always ask "How long do businesses last?"

watching the history channel for the first time in years and they're so out of material for ancient aliens that they've just been running an hour of tv telling me about how a bunch of nerds got a round of funding for telescopes to look for aliens

Baby Rock Squirrel YAWN. When I worked for the Modern Rogue, I spent a LOT of late nights and early mornings editing, and every once in a great while, I would see our local Rock Squirrels. Trust me when I say this is a RARE sight. #RockSquirrel #BabySquirrel #GH5

I started reading @stephenking.bsky.social 20 years ago, and this is the first typo I've ever come across. I can't be the first person to ever catch this one, can I? (double checked two editions) "...a sheaf of straw-colored hair lying against her check." #StephenKing #Typo #TheShining

Living the dream. Two teleprompters! (my surface pro is using teleprompter software. I connect a second monitor, use OBS to screencapture and flip the image to un-reverse it) #Iviin #OBS #teleprompter

How many cops does it take to arrest one unarmed (and un-sandwiched) man? 20. That's how incompetent and wasteful the police force is. #DefundThePolice #ACAB

The first step of contact juggling is really to learn how to hold a ball with the back of your hand, but after that... #ContactJuggling #MichaelMoschen

I realize a build that barely has 3 steps doesn't make for engaging content, but it also begs the question: Why do we ever pay money for Desk Chair Mats that suck?!  #DIY #DeskChairMat

If you have a business rival, this is how you take them down. Give them Matt Ridley's The Rational Optimist, and tell them it's your “secret to success.” They'll be out of business in a few years. #HopeVsOptimism #MattRidley #ScamArtist

I know you're supposed to update your color cards for this reason, but wow! I had this guy in a drawer the last few years, so it's just the oxidation. Served me well for many years. Could have sworn it was gray even a couple years ago. #ColorChecker #Calibrite #filmmaking
