Damn. I guess we have a new state now. Sigh.

Bless this man. #Xhaka 4 points up for Arsenal!

I've been thinking about this lately too - of course there is a bubble, but there's a tremendous amount of infrastructure being built that WILL be used for SOMETHING. The key is to look at who will be positioned to snap it up when the LLM bubble bursts. www.evalapply.org/posts/after-...

2025 can suck a bag of dicks.

Tempted to buy… #Arsenal #MVP

I thought I didn’t care about this cup …until that last pen. You gotta do better Arsenal.

How many matches can Arsenal win in a row without scoring a goal? I wonder what the record is?

Time for Arsenal to get their heads out of their asses.

Thank goodness it’s halftime. Maybe the refs can go put in their contact lenses now. #Arsenal

Make sure you pour one out this week for all of the journalists who have to spend their holidays reading 1000s of documents about child rape by the rich and powerful. #ImpeachTrumpNow

Friend of mine stumbled across this site today and its fantastic. www.libraryofshortstories.com

What's funny is if 60 minutes had just run the story, it might have sparked a little outrage but largely no one would have noticed and we'd be continuing on with our week. By CBS not running the story they made it even bigger, and people have even more to be outraged about. #SteisandEffect

This device is no longer a phone.

Bwahahahaha!

Whew. #Arsenal

This LIV-TOT match is kinda like watching two drunks fight.

Thank goodness. We’re almost there.

I guess the positive news to reflect on for this year is that at least we had the most comical, incompetent fascists ever. Maybe this is like a fascist vaccine that can carry America thru the next 100 years.

Sigh. Havertz. #Arsenal (Image used from r/gunners. I’ll probably get a lot of use out of it.)

Okay, who let Crazy Grandpa out of his man cave?

I’ve decided now that I’m just going to straight up block any person whose post or reply annoys me or who looks like a bot. So if you can’t read this, you know what you did.

Once more for the people in the back: Social media is NOT REAL, and you should treat it as such. For everyone wondering "why is America coming apart at the seams?!" its because a large number of bots are purposefully tearing at the stitching. www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

So I guess the Epstein files are in Venezuela now, and Trump is going to go get them back?

A good read, with practical advice: www.persuasion.community/p/our-partie...

Why is it that 4 of the top 5 topics right now for me are American Football? Is that what everyone else is seeing? I don’t follow it anymore so am I missing some big hidden to me part of BSky? BSky needs better trend discovery. Perhaps by list, and then one master list.

I've just tried to use Adobe Acrobat, AI, and PS today for the first time since they've "added AI" Holy fuck, is that a miserable fucking experience. I wasn't even trying to use AI - just do normal shit like create shapes and recolor them - and it was like being beaten to dead with a lead pipe.

Yes, its good (and surprising) as a Hoosier that the GOP here did not buckle under substantial pressure from the admin. But for all those people "praising" them, stop acting like the Republicans in Indiana don't still spend most of their term making our lives unlivable here.

Good reminder this holiday season. This is why I tell my adult kids the only Christmas presents I want are either personal creations or something consumable. (Like my coffee bean habit.) open.substack.com/pub/thehuman...

"She said some terminally ill people could lead to Scotland having “a more positive climate for an assisted death and move accordingly”. What a fucking concept, treating someone who wants to end their own existence with a positive experience!

Someone else shared the original earworm with me today, so I'll inflict the remix on you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FR0...

Nice to see this.

I like to see some journalists do some research and find out what really happens to these people over the long haul. I’m sure she’ll cash in on MAGA GoFundMe, but I wonder where she’ll be in 10 years.

For me the real champion of this F1 season is Lando Norris’ mom.

I can’t wait til the Premier League hires some real fucking referees.

If there's anything Republicans and Democrats can come together and get behind is that "Color of the Year" is a stupid fucking thing.

For a group of people who keep shouting about low birth rates and wanting women to have more babies, the Republican Party sure seems to be hell bent to have less 2 year-olds.

Star Wars: They were a republic, Leia's "dad" was a Senator, yet somehow she was titled "Princess". Who gave her that title and why?

As a gen-x'er it is so fucking infuriating that we've known about all of these problems my entire life, and no one will actually step up to work together to solve them. Government isn't just failing now. Its been failing my entire life. www.axios.com/2025/11/29/s...

Results like Chelsea v Leeds are precisely why I rarely bet on sports.

I think there is better than 50/50 chance that OpenAI goes down as the “Netscape of the AI market.” And the next gen of kids to be born will look at grandpa and say “lolz what were ChatGPT, old man? Scatitibidi Fuzzbrain AI is the only one I use!”

I've been surprised by all the Opus 4.5 love, because I wasn't seeing any benefits in my main work project. It seemed like it would go nuts, waste tokens, get stuck in circles, what have you. I thought people were gaslighting me about how good it was. 🧵

We should be concerned that the third in the line of succession doesn’t seem to know fuck all about anything. Or he’s just a liar, and we should be doubly concerned.

If you can’t win with your policies, pick your voters. Them schlepping IN-01 all the way to WABASH shows how many white rural people it takes to counter the Chicago suburbs. My family is from Wabash. It has as much in common with Chicago as a cow does to a parakeet.

That was a rough Arsenal game. The lads were tired and the game plan either wasn’t there or wasn’t right for the people available. I really hate it when my players fall to the ground like babies. (ahem Merino) I could never be a Chelsea fan, I’d hate every minute. ❄️

Two down, one to go. Love this team. #Arsenal #COYG

This was perfect "cloudy nasty weather outside, in the background while you work" music this afternoon: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wbK...

Nano Banana is fun to make seasonal slack avatars.
