It has literally been raining all year.

Ever have the following conversation with yourself? "Hey, just a little scotch." "Why?" "Because we're high." "So?" "REALLY?" "Yeah, can't think of any issue." "Crossfade!" "Oh, I kinda remember that band. Are they still around?" "No, you idiot! Tomorrow's Christmas, it will suck to be crossfaded!"

My kids tonight: "Bro, you're not a kobold!" "How do you _know_ I'm not?" "Because you look nothing like Mark Zuckerberg!"

You don’t redact every mention of your name from The Pedophile Chronicles unless you’re guilty as fuck

In a just society, stating "America needs a thoughtful conservative wing" without taking adequate measures to make sure no one on the Left is subjected to that statement would be punishable by a summary punch to the neck from John Cena.

What a great headline

Wow, Google _really_ wants me to stop using Gmail and go back to running my own email server.

This is a seriously cool idea.

If you're reading this, it means you survived Monday. Or at least came very close to it.

I suspect a lot of people don't get just how prevalent the attitude that "I expect conservatives to be infantile assholes, so it's ok for them to be infantile assholes, but I expect liberals to be responsible adults, so anything less than perfection is betrayal" is.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Sure, we love to mock techbros for misunderstanding dystopian stories and "creating the Torment Nexus". But I think we're missing a key point. The dystopian story they're really after is "The Most Dangerous Game".

Can you imagine not being able to function while high? Work would suck so bad. Especially my job. The other guy is such a whiner, though. But I just tell him, "Quit complaining, and just be happy you even have a job. Why do you think they have copilots on airliners anyway?"

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

It felt so good to personally block each and every govt BSky account. It was a much-needed pick-me-up.

There's no such thing as expressing bigotry in a civil way, bc bigotry is the antithesis of civility. Arguing otherwise is nothing more than thinly-veiled bigotry, at best.

While "violence breeds violence" is technically true, it's also misleading. The primary driver of violence is the fact that violence is fun for the people who engage in it. Nonviolence will not stop those people.

White on white crime is a tragic epidemic sweeping the country. How many more will we lose to white gang violence and rightwing turf wars? It’s the culture, you know. These white celebrities glamorize a criminal lifestyle & young inner-suburb kids get trapped in the school-to-influencer pipeline.

I'm not suggesting that anyone should not condemn the shooting of Charlie Kirk. But he was an advocate for killing people he didn't like, and pretending that he wasn't is disingenuous.

I remember what Charlie Kirk said when one of his fans murdered Melissa Hortman.

"All these people who are in a situation I've never been in just need to do what I've concluded will work!" - Each and every one of us.

The current administration attempting diplomacy is like someone signing up for the World Series of Poker after their only exposure is reading a summary of the movie "Rounders" and thinking "I can't believe they took the game from that movie and turned it into a real thing!".

Hot takes: 1) Racism, sexism, and similar forms of bigotry are not opinions, they are credible threats of violence. 2) Animosity towards bigots is not bigotry. Bigotry is an action, and it's totally good and right to judge people based on their actions. Really, it's a moral failing not to.

I have a question for everyone, and I'd love as many answers on this as possible (so share if you're inclined). Would you rather have anxiety about a real problem in your life, or anxiety with no discernible cause?

Hey, whatever happened to those nuclear sub that Trump was deploying to keep Russia in check? You know, the ones that Putin uncharacteristically never said a damn thing about? It's almost like it was intended solely as a distraction, and Putin was in on it.

Never confuse ignorance with stupidity. Ignorance isn't a bad thing, in general. It's the default state of affairs for every single person who has or will ever live, without exception. OTOH, stupidity is a terrible, destructive thing. It's the combination of ignorance with confidence.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

The hydromancers are doing cakewalks while alligating indentureships to the hermaean incapacitants.

Tesla dealerships don't want you to know this one weird trick of using saltwater and lemon juice to preserve and maintain the finish on their cybertrucks. #TheAlliedForces

Hey guys.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Pessimist: It's 2025. Just... all of it! (Wildy gestures at the whole world) Optimist: Hey, berets and trenchcoats will be back in fashion any day now!

In the 1940s, Nazis were beaten only bc the US and USSR, well on their way to being archenemies, put aside their enmity, ignored their ideological incompatibility & that USSR initially supported the Nazis, and worked together. Beating Nazis in the 2020s will require the same type of cooperation.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Well, fuck.

Is my desire to know what's going on enough to justify removing words from my block list? No, no it isn't.

Saw Superman today, and I understand why MAGA is calling it woke. It's because they're all remarkably thin-skinned losers whose identities are completely wrapped up in being entitled assholes.

I will forever think of all Republicans as "anus scratchers who don't know how to wash properly".

Holy shit. The New York Times used a EUGENICIST, with documented racist posts all over the place, as an anonymous source for a misleading hit piece on Mamdani. This is, like, Daily Mail levels of journalistic malpractice. I'm genuinely astonished.

I just found a bottle of Jägermeister in my freezer, and I know I haven't bought any in the last 15 years. I decided try a sip to see if the taste has changed any over that time. And I'm happy to report no change in taste, it's just as disgusting as ever.
