“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

"Every social theory undergirding Tr*mpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve." - Adam Serwer, The Atlantic

Rest In Piss

this is genuinely incredible

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Jodie Foster: They should have sent a poet Poet: Aliens ahoy! A galactic sight. When you’re in space all day is night

this is the greatest feeling, when the cord box proves its utility to a family member

check this shit out. gonna write a song contrasting your guy macheath with a shark. that’s right a fuckin shark. whole compare and contrast deal. ppl gonna be singing this shit for a hundred years. see if I lie —Bertolt Brecht, to Kurt Weill, over drinks, 1927

Now someone post a picture of the second photographer who took this photo. Hopefully he's in a 3 piece suit with watch chain, top hat and monocle.

Anyway Expedition 33 is the game that should truly trigger full embracing of 'JRPG' as a descriptor of a certain subset of mechanics that emerged thru Japanese adaption of Wizardry, Ultima etc for consoles, rather than just 'RPGs made in Japan'. Diachronic process is real, language & context changes

Every once in a while, someone will mention how absurd Pynchon's character names are, and I immediately think of people like Oedipa Maas, or Pirate Prentice, completely forgetting people named WEED or KOTEKS.

This is beautiful

youtu.be/61I4hlig78w First time I’ve heard him. Has me grinning.

I just can’t believe Doctor Who would do something like that.

So good

(Yakko Warner Hello Nurse voice) Good-BYYYYYE, horses!

99 submissions of a short story, 26 rejections. This process is fucking exhausting.

I heard there was a reggae song By Daddy Yankee, from San Juan That topped the charts from LA to Ibiza It goes like this, the kick, the snare And synthesizers everywhere The dancehall king composing Gasolina Gasoliina Gasoliiina Gasoliiina Dame más gasoliiiiina

One more #GivingTuesday ask but this time for the @igdafoundation.org givebutter.com/IGDAF

NO. FUCKING. WAY. I first got excited for Routine back when I worked for MLG, a company that hasn't existed for... I don't know, 7 years? More?

Just finished The Trees, and it is now the 4th consecutive "Best Thing I've Read In Years" that I've read from Percival Everett. The list so far: - Erasure - Dr. No - A History of the African-American People [PROPOSED], By Strom Thurmond as told to Percival Everett and James Kincaid - The Trees

Seriously, The Residence is the best thing I've watched in so long.

Shot + chaser

When I was 18, I delivered food for the only Cajun place in town. When Dr John played there, he ordered from that restaurant and told me I was cooler than the average delivery guy. It wasn't true, and still isn't, but it was very nice of him to say.

We're primarying John Fetterman. Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians. We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I may have to form a rock band, so I can use this as the cover of our first cd. www.livescience.com/space/the-su...

The funniest thing about this is that some lawyer(s) are getting blamed for this back at OpenAI HQ, when the problem is that they're actually just breaking the law in front of everyone.

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I say again, I would bet real ass money that the Pope has been to a Jesus Lizard show.

I know what my custom faceplate will be for the new Steam Cube already

Well shit. youtu.be/OmKrKTwtukE?...

It’s 12 November, so it’s time to mark the 55th anniversary of the exploding whale of Oregon, an attempt to clear a cetacean carcass from a beach which prompted one reporter to say “The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds”

Brian Fargo. About EVERYTHING.

Honestly, "but Bond died in the last movie" is just...every new actor has been a new Bond, a fresh start. If you want to do the obsessive continuity thing, you do that within that actor's run. I'd have thought anyone immersed in 007 movies would realize this

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

If you're a TV reporter covering a shooting or stabbing at the Pine View Motel across the street, we'll throw you $50 to stand so our sign is in the shot.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.
