imperial autoerotic asphyxiation as geostrategy

And here’s the eclipse photo from Artemis II. I am in tears.

I think all these soulless “I use AI to write and there’s nothing wrong with that” pieces carry the same energy as a 10 year old saying “I want to play in the NFL but I’m going to use a forklift to do my weight room workouts because lifting weights is hard”

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to lead off the marketing campaign by aggressively, coercively pushing half baked garbage ideas

This is very funny but it's also yet another reminder of the fundamental misalignment of this site's leadership and its core user base, which I imagine will cause legitimate and potentially existential problems down the road

im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality

"But you'd have to be a subliterate, brainless, incurious, uninformed moron with the mind of a small child to think that's how the world works." Yes, have you not been paying attention to LITERALLY EVERYTHING THE PRESIDENT DOES AND SAYS, IN PUBLIC, ALL THE TIME, FOR A DECADE

I made a bingo card

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Good. Trump only respects being punched in the face, and the American government, as it currently stands, exists in a perpetual state of believing there are no consequences for letting him do what he wants. Europe has to act.

they should probably check jonathan ross's hard drive

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

For me, the issue is less falling for AI slop — if you haven’t yet, you will — it’s that this class of people is literally forcing AI on an unwanting society and angrily denying any negative consequences that result from it. It’s the negligence and disregard, not just the gormlessness, that rankles.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

THERE IS LITERALLY NO REASON TO FIRE LIVE ARTILLERY SHELLS OVER AN AMERICAN HIGHWAY. TOTALLY STUPID, RECKLESS, AND BIZARRE ACTIONS JUST TO MAKE JD VANCE FEEL IMPORTANT.

An artillery shell fired during 250th anniversary celebration of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton on Saturday detonated prematurely over Interstate 5, damaging a California Highway Patrol vehicle on JD Vance's security detail www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

MAGA folks don’t understand that the culture of Bluesky involves everyone just blocking people they don’t like without any engagement. They think they’re “shadowbanned” by some unseen force from above.

If the computer says something that's obviously dumb, it just means that you're the dumb one. You didn't ask right

We know for a fact that a horde of LLM-humping ignorants are currently merrily ovipositing vast amounts of vibe-coded crap they don’t understand into crucial American data systems. this will assuredly get people killed, and we assuredly will be spending the rest of our lives trying to fix it.

The 8 most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m a billionaire, and I’m here to help.”

The image offers a stunning variety of objects — from bright stars ranging from blue to red in color, to nearby blue spiral galaxies, to distant red galaxy groups — demonstrating the broad range of science made possible by Rubin data ✨🔭🧪

Here it is: the first set of riches from Rubin's Cosmic Treasure Chest! Introducing NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's first wide and deep view of the cosmos, the southern region of the Virgo Cluster. Rubin produced this image in just 10.5 hours over parts of 7 nights! 🔭🧪 youtu.be/Gitit3LwQ20

Ads for AI: “Tired of thinking? Want to return to a childlike state of dependency forever? Want to free up your cognitive abilities to consume more slop uncritically? Want your life to pass by like an extended coma? We don’t care if you do or not. We already made the choice for you. Let it go.”

Yes it's a plagiarism machine meant to put us all out of work and enrich the worst people alive and yes one request expends more energy than it takes to power Buffalo for a week, but more than that anything to do with AI is just corny dork-made shit. It fucking sucks and so do you if you use it.
