It would be great if some celebrities could turn out for the Paralympics the way they do for the Olympics. Doubt we're gonna see the likes of Snoop and Martha or Stanley Tucci celebrating human achievement there in two weeks when it's not so high profile.

I trust John Hamm, Idris Elba, and Matthew Broderick less now because of this.

I really wish actors understood how shitty ai was replacing real people's jobs when they took these commercial gigs.

I love the Italians being like "Look at our culture!" and then playing some Beethoven for us. #OlympicsClosingCeremony

I'm okay with us all being automated out of our jobs ONLY IF we institute universal basic income AND we don't end up with a servant class doing the jobs that can't be automated. This doesn't work if society doesn't get better for everyone.

Does anyone else think it's weird how many prescription drug commercials warn us about tuberculosis? The Victorian coughing disease? I've never known someone with tb in the US in my life. Why would your drug make me get that?!?

Individually wrapped slice of pound cake from the gas station.

I like hockey partly because it's the only major league sport you need to have a bizarre skill to play. Imagine if baseball was played on unicycles, or basketball on stilts. Everyone else is just on the ground, in shoes.

So cool to see commercials for Gemini and Salesforce that instruct companies how to not hire any more employees so we can all stay unemployed and underemployed. So cool.

Donald Trump illegally stole $1700 from you is a gift midterm message.

I need to know if Jack Hughes's parents knew what they were doing when they named him. They have other sons. Did they try to come up with other puns, or did they have no idea how much fun it would be to say his name until much later?

I'm pretty sure I just saw a commercial for yachts. Dude,we got Peacock with ads. We're in no position to buy a yacht.

Need a break from the doom scroll? Y'all are still just a couple of clicks away from the joy, laughter, and unconditional love of "Clean Slate" and whatnot.

Fortunately for my husband, I don't really like plums or writing poetry.

William Shatner calling himself "Will Shat" isn't as funny as they think it is.

Grok can do your taxes now! Just upload your W-2, your bank info, make sure it has your social security number and any passwords it may need. Easy peasy!

I had to take the night off from work due to excruciating pain and did some art therapy on my tablet instead. Surprisingly calming. I made all these bubbles with the "bokeh" brush, then started carefully outlining them one by one. It took hours to get this far. It's not much, but I like the effect.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

If you grew up loving Pee-Wee's Playhouse, you're queer now. I don't make the rules.

AND uploaded this beautiful FREE coloring page of my book’s cover art. Can be used with any #pagan holiday lesson, who doesn’t love a good coloring page?? 😊 #pagansky #kidlit www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Whee...

Happy release day! The fourth volume of Guild Mage, Journeyman, is out in ebook and paperback on Amazon today! As is usual, audio will be available on Audible tomorrow :) a.co/d/044zIxH1

I hope the people at Svedka vodka know how much we hate their ai robots commercial. I hope they sell less vodka because of it. Every time it plays during the Olympics, I'm glad I don't drink, but if I did, I'd never buy Svedka because of their terrible ad.

Just a reminder that ChatGPT cannot betray anyone because it doesn’t have feelings or motives or thoughts

They're not converting them into housing, though. They are literally going to shove human beings in there like cattle. It's concentration camps. No care is being taken here. They are planning on warehousing people and letting them die.

Working illegally is the nerdiest crime. It's like staying up to read a book under the covers with a flashlight.

My husband: "Skeleton should be in the Autumn Olympics."

Scifi is when a computer can diagnose and cure your illness. Fantasy is when a wizard can do it.

Scifi is when English is called Basic. Fantasy is when it's called Common.

Solidarity forever with the workers at DC's cat cafe who were put out of work by their union-busting owner after they announced they intended to unionize. www.popville.com/2026/02/crum...

I'm 48, and I can say with dead certainty that I'm not experiencing mood changes and brain fog, nor have I turned into a fascist mouthpiece. I think Pam Bondi might just be an evil piece of shit.

Going to make a thread of every reason to NEVER vote for Newsom. Let's start with:

observations: 1. the gavin newsom fans on here follow a certain script 2. they are presenting newsoms candidacy as a done deal 3. they specifically bring up trans issues as irrelevant conclusion: this is a bot network astroTERFing support for newsom/transphobia

Did you know if you see a product on Amazon you can often go directly to that company's website and get it for the same price without giving Amazon any of the profit? I just ordered a bottle of Carolina Castile Soap from the source and didn't even pay for shipping.

The Olympics: "Human beings are amazing. Look what they can achieve. Truly the paragon of animals!" The commercials: "But not you, you fat, old sack of shit. Take these weight loss pills and inject botulism into your face and maybe someone will love you. BTW, a robot could do your entire job."

"This is what we've waited for This is it, boys, this is war The president is on the line As ninety-nine red balloons go by."

The funniest part of this is the vast majority of our citizens haven't even seen the Statue of Liberty in person, and have no concept of what size it is.

Reminder that Americans don't use the imperial system; we measure heights in Statues of Liberty and lengths in football fields.

At this point, Epstein is appearing a number of times in the Trump files.

Bad Bunny's half-time show was watched live by about 135 million people, and millions streamed it later. By contrast, the Toilet Paper, Inc. White Fragility Half-Time Pity Party was watched by only about 1 million people. They artificially inflated their viewing numbers with paid bot accounts.

That’s what’s up.

Watching all these other countries in the Olympics, daydreaming about moving somewhere else. Switzerland's flag is a big plus, as they say. But China? That's a big red flag.

Glad I never paid for Nitro but worried I might lose a writing community and an online larp. I'm sure we can find substitutes, but risking our identities is a weird way to protect children.

I learned something tonight. Apparently, "Bad Bunny" is short for "Did the big, bad bunny hurt your little, white feelings?"

abso-fucking-lutely not.

There may come a day when I'm tired of the song "Golden", but it is not this day.

Uh oh, they're stirring the cauldron of piss!

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.

Is there a mercy rule in football?

Damn, I really need to learn more Spanish. I quit Duolingo when they fired people in favor of ai. Now I need another way to learn.

Weird. The Ring camera "search party" function looks like a way for the surveillance state to track people instead of just dogs. Maybe I'm just being paranoid with all the Americans disappearing right now.
