The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I dunno, but the discourse had me thinking generally about how "back where it started" endings are kind of hack. Not calling any particular show out, it can still work but just one of those types of ending that feels cheap sometimes

you don't know me...

Like, at a very basic level, the very least grokai should be doing here is just suspending grok entirely while they figure out what else to do, ya know? that's the lowest bar to clear and yet...

When something in a video game takes like a dozen tries or like an hour to beat we tend to consider it pretty hard. Stuff in real life that only takes that long is very easy!

Super Mario Brothers 2

The phone is for making posts like "the ass is the father of the legs" whereas the computer is for posts that include words like "inexorably"

one of the good things about bluesky is that it is more possible to completely miss entire days of discourse and main characters and whatever. often only vaguely know what any of you guys are even talking about tbh

It's cool that the media treats him like the god emperor of a 1000 year reich and not a senile drug addict they wouldn't otherwise let in the building

One theme in these clips is everything is a personal grievance and he seems more bothered by them than ever. To his credit, he does seem kinda fired up today, not the tired droning mush from previous appearances. But content is indistinguishable from a schizophrenic street person

Remains particularly grim how much nyt carries water for him

huge if true (unironic)

no one can ever call me dumb as a brick again!

one thing that i think isn't talked about enough is how much psychedelics usage has been going on in silicon valley for the past several years. Seems relevant in the discussion of how weird they've gotten about AI in particular

Gotta bump this book rec again. Provides excellent context for the particular rightward devolution in society and government we're witnessing and how Donold is the final form of decades long conspiracy

Gundam-Dependent Suburbs, imo

in not so grim news, I saw one of these for the first time today

‘Space Fantasy 4’ (1974) by Steve R Dodd.

One of those headlines that would be utterly incomprehensible to anyone living in 2014

I think there's a pretty high likelihood mal guests were all told this was going on as part of the evening's entertainment

Not really the point I know but he sounds particularly raspy/tired and it seems to be taking all of his focus to try and read this statement

Let's just turn the internet off for a couple of years tbh who says no

One of the many downstream shitty things about car dependent world is just how many cascading things get impacted whenever your car does have an issue. The bit flip from stable reliable ability to move around to constrained by an issue is rapid!

Elon running to the grok servers to override this like

stuff

It transformed into an Albanian man??

All right everyone, we gave it our best shot but all we can do now is hope for better things in 2027.

It'd be kinda funny if he actually is more or less totally fine and all the stuff we've seen is just because he's very weird

if you try and check me in 2026 know i keep that thing on me

Like, it'd have been one thing if the case just sort of didn't go anywhere and the criminals evaded justice. BUT WE FUCKING ELECTED HIM AGAIN?????

it rocks that there's a song called this

woke 2 can't come fast enough

Nice look at the technical innovation MetroCard brought

lmao
