Chris Wright has a master's in electrical engineering from MIT and absolutely understands "batteries" as well as any five-year-old child, but you see, he took a job in the Trump administration so he has to pretend he's just as stupid as the boss.

Whenever I need to remember the colours of the rainbow, I just use this handy mnemonic: Red, Aorange, Indigo, Neutral, Beige, Orange, White.

One thing the whole Platner situation reveals is that a whole lot of supposedly progressive pundits and politicians would have been much better served if they actually WERE ensconced in the supposed Bluesky bubble, 'cause everyone I know on here had this clown figured out from the get-go.

Can't understand why so many people aren't excited about a future where good information is increasingly difficult to find among huge mounds of genAI junk, images are mostly fabricated, and social media is mostly "funny" videos made by people with the comedy chops of a damp piece of cardboard

Media everywhere is still absolutely determined to do free marketing for these lads. As long as it keeps being repeated unquestioningly they're going to keep saying it.

In Ladbrokes, licking the sweat off my top lip as I put the last of my savings on no.3

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

I’ve said for years and I mean it: If I’m ever killed on my bike or as a pedestrian: You are all expected to politicize the shit out of my death. There would be no greater way to honor me than to use my death to prevent more senseless fatalities. You can start doing it before I’m even buried.

DR. SAMUEL BECKETT: Oh my god, I've quantum leaped! I hope they send someone professional to help me get home AL CALAVICCI: (Getting paged in the middle of railing a cocktail waitress in Kansas City) Jesus Christ. Hold on, babe, my coworker just turned asian

(in the seventh month of defending a candidate who has slowly revealed himself to be a werewolf) so actually I think most guys get worse under the full moon

has any man ever been more vindicated? x.com/stuartbuck1/...

It's the surest I've been since 2008 that the mother of all bubbles is about to pop.

It's such a small detail but I wish they'd use appropriate pictures. In this case they should show a picture of commercial pest harvesting, not this which makes people think it's about somebody's household turf

They're calling the Hungry Little Caterpillar degenerate art.

When the interviewer says "Where do you see yourself in five years?" It turns out you're not supposed to say "Living in a bog, handing out quests."

Ethan Phillips ran into Robin Williams on the Paramount lot and Robin instantly launched into a Neelix routine about being a chef in outer space. A sweet Star Trek: Voyager moment from To The Journey - Looking Back At Star Trek: Voyager. voydoc.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Nudists just use too much laundry deterrent

Turns out he lied about the nazi tattoo. He knew exactly what it was.

Isn’t this a huge signal to tech giants’ advertising clients that they’re wasting their money? Meta and Google profits are overwhelmingly dependent on advertising.

But seriously he is going to wipe out so many retirement accounts and the banks are helping him do it. He's doing a DOGEcoin rugpull with the entire U.S. economy. Buckle up!

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

the guy who rushed the court last night during the nba finals to take a selfie with wemby did it to promote a memecoin on his shirt. his tiktok is full of videos of him rushing onto the field at sports games to pump and dump crypto. i hate this stupid world man

Eating plate upon plate of gluey mashed potatoes until the baffled staff finally coordinate to eject me from the McDonald's

"would you live in a jail cell for 37 days to win $835,000" is like your average Mr Beast challenge

i got fired from the lettering factory for “bad kerning”. it’s unfair dismissal if you ask me but I won’t fight it; i don’t want to bum any bridges

are you just going to do this for every generation

End of the day all the “it’s actually left wing people who are the most racist” was allowed and encouraged as a way of smearing any viable left wing alternative for years and now we have serious op-eds saying “what if white people are actually the most oppressed group?” in mainstream publications

do political badges include the poppy

They sell cans of soap and keep them in the drinks fridge next to the fanta and it's your fault if you knock back the whole thing and wind up shitting bubbles. That's personal responsibility.

Well, it happened again. I got put on the jumbotron at the grocery store and everyone booed my groceries

*laughs in Kerrygold*

But I don't want to cure cancer, I want to turn people into dinosaurs.

Pissing away billions because they just can't be arsed to govern.

A superb piece, not the least for the author's insistence on using "emit" to describe a chatbot's output. That's exactly what's happening! They're not *saying* anything. They're not *telling* you anything. They're emitting words. Such an important distinction. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

The right in this country have totally lost it, a complete and utter collapse of any kind of cordon sanitaire with the far right in favour of gutter racism. It's been slow, but the grinding move from "anti-white racism is real" from far right agitprop to Times leader is complete.

Imagine being in the control room at your grownup TV job the first time you realize that television is created by people making choices, and doesn’t just happen organically.

The three kinds of people who get work in the UK media: overt fascists, people who know they can only get paid if they keep their heads down and agree with fascists, and people who think the first two groups existing is a sign of a healthy and vigorous debate.

This is a completely unjustifiable frame unless you have the editorial goal of spreading and normalising fascism in the UK. And everyone involved here knows exactly what they're fucking doing.

People point to Fox as an example of how the American press is bad, but here we have a very mainstream British outlet gleefully hawking nazi talking points through a lens of just asking questions. I genuinely believe we have the very worst press culture in the world and it's not even close.

Truly what the fuck is going on in the UK

I don't understand this compulsion to just keep going. I've had many near misses that start out where the driver wasn't being aggressive, they just made an honest mistake, but then they make everything 20x worse by keeping going instead of safely slowing down and stopping.

Sorry but the worst of the rumors was true because we all fucking saw that tattoo

"evil billionaires are using up water resources for dumb animations" is a story normies can understand. democrats can either get on this train or be run over it but it has left the station

However much you hate centrists, it's not enough.

cannot be overstated how stupid this guy is. they have to give him posters that say like “America LOVE Ballroom” with a picture of a big smiley face before every presser or else he falls asleep. he simply cannot comprehend any information that isn’t delivered in comparative pictograms
