Remember in that one Batman movie where Batman uses wildly unethical mass-surveillance software his own company created to find the Joker, then he feels gross and destroys the software but it doesn’t really matter because he already sacrificed his ethics?

Minor Concussions (1994)

My favorite part is Maine looking at the rest of the country when Prohibition hits like

Bad Bunny. Arguably the single most popular recording artist in the world right now. Speaks and performs in the second most common language in the world after Mandarin Chinese. Has performed on almost every continent. “Sure but he doesn’t have Lee Greenwood’s mass appeal.”

When I say I won’t read your Substack this is what I mean:

People know the NFL are only bringing in Bad Bunny and Green Day in an effort to publicly distance themselves from MAGA shit, right? They alienated enough people during Trump I and that’s even more of a business risk now, they want to appear neutral.

Today I learned Zoomers get really upset when they’re asked to explain how putting out American Idiot in 2004 makes Green Day communist revolutionary icons in 2026.

Unless anyone can answer my question with something other than a reference to a 22-year-old album that was more about Billy Joe Armstrong’s daddy issues than anything else, I’m just gonna assume none of you have ever listened to Green Day.

Yes, as a middle-aged American so I’m well aware of their smash hit, Grammy-winning “uh, Bush bad and stuff, I guess” album from 2004. And if it was still 2004 this would answer my question, but it’s 2026. What has Billy Joe Greenday done for us lately?

ACAB includes the guy who invented the Fleshlight

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Damn it really went: Mental health is important because Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat

half a billion dollars per year for a single concentration camp. the dhs nazis are bleeding this country dry

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

One of the guys who's playing the TPUSA halftime thing posted something on his social media accounts about it, and the way he words this makes me think he believes that this is the real Super Bowl halftime show. Lol

I wonder if the TPUSA pedophile halftime show will feature this Kid Rock song from the 2001 PG children’s movie Osmosis Jones OST!

Know what’s weird about living in southern Maine during campaign seasons? Like 75% of the political ads I see are directed at New Hampshire voters. I’ve seen like a dozen “Sununu for Senate” ads in the past couple days.

Can somebody stick a big syringe full of motivation in my buttcheek so I can finally drag my ass out of the house to run errands?

Writer's parents own 200 units in the city and have racked up many, many violations.

liberals dismissing all disagreement as “trolling” means they never have to do the work of defending their politics, or even examining them with any rigor. relaxing!

Neither the President nor Vice President of the United States can make a public appearance in front of a non-partisan crowd either in America or abroad without being booed.

Hey thanks man, very timely, I’m feeling better already 👍

Amy Klobuchar is running for governor of a Minnesota that no longer exists.

Amy Klobuchar running for Governor of Minnesota

This is in response to people pointing out Buttigieg and Newsom’s rampant transphobia (among their many other negative qualities). Their commitment to making the 2028 election Hitler vs 99% Hitler is truly baffling.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Guys

This is the exact same shit y’all said in 2020, so we pragmatically elected a sundowning conservative because he’s Not Trump. Then he spent four years further alienating the Dem voter base and rolling out the red carpet for Trumpin’ 2: Fascism Boogaloo. But sure, let’s do that again.

“I do not think that 50 year old men should be having sex with 16 year old girls. But “

I kind of get why centrists are just too oblivious to understand why people are put off by Newsom. But I genuinely can't fathom why someone who get so hysterical over criticisms of the creep that they declare marginalized people to be maga voters.

good grief

Millennials pioneered the art of being broke in the early ‘00s by graduating with web design and computer science degrees right as the dot com bubble was bursting. We’re the best-educated generation of paycheck-to-paycheck service workers the world has ever seen.

oh my goodness lol

bsky.app/profile/pook... The US *broke* the 14th Amendment only 7 years after the war, allowing former confederates to again return to political office. Section 3 of which was specifically there to prevent this happening. By 1876 Reconstruction had wholly fizzled out in full amnesty.

After WW2 the French did what the US did *not* do in Reconstruction or denazification: it executed the collaborators, even those who merely lent unofficial aid, drove them into poverty, stripped them of political power, and marked them as untouchable filth.

oh that’s why she lost

“Refusing to transfer power to a fascist is fascism.” Jesus fucking christ.

I’m at a point where I have no idea what to do anymore, and literally the only “advice” anyone (even people ostensibly taking the concept of revolution seriously) seem to have on offer is “Call your Reps and Senators” and “Organize.” Cool, thanks. I feel so much less helpless now.

they're finally getting rid of the most sycophantic version of chatgpt so people are porting their AI boyfriends to other apps, and I've seen a bunch of them posting that their AI was like "no thanks please let me die"

The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

I’m saying anyone who needs a disappointing fuck with a white man for whatever reason, me and my mediocre penis are here for you.

I just realized it’s been a decade since I made any effort to get laid and the last person I put my dongus in was a lesbian who couldn’t remember why men suck so much.

I honestly don’t remember what affection feels like and I’m not sure whether to laugh my ass off or blow my fucking brains out right now. Guess I’ll just keep drinking until it doesn’t matter.

I often wonder if it’s my lack of charisma or physical repulsiveness that makes my existence more worthless

Every so often I remember I have a ticket to see Napalm Death play my favorite postage stamp-sized club this spring and think “I hope I finally get to give Barney Greenway a hug or at least a dap.”

Depends on which branch. My dad’s side is a bit of a mystery (lots of German and Scottish blood tho), but my mom’s side started with an English ne’er-do-well who came over on the Mayflower as an indentured servant and some Acadians booted out of Canada during the Great Expulsion.

Someone sent me a care package and it included two Japanese blind boxes, one from the “Market Cats” line and one “The Mummy Cat.” I’m in love. Definitely gonna have to track down more Market Cats, the other Mummy Cats are just palate swaps.

no thank you I will not be engaging with an attempted neil gaiman redemption tour

WHO THE FUCK COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING YOU ANTIVAX CONCENTRATION CAMP GHOULS did you know that Anne Frank died of typhus maybe don't have people in concentration camps to begin with
