This whole Mr. Beast thing is just the internet rediscovering that TV most TV shows don't run forever. The difference is YouTube has outsourced the creativity and risk to individuals. Plenty of stunt shows ran their course, tried spinoffs, and were finally canceled.

Do we need more parody? I'm just saying, if I'd just taken control of Infowars I'd turn it into a gun control nonprofit.

This is something philosophers struggle with too, when deciding how far to lean in to the idea we are incapable of knowing the nature of things. And Kant deficiency or excess can make you go round the bend!

Imagining some comparative religions grad student in 2532 writing an essay about the influence of frog memes on the Catholic schism of 2026

We know there's a lot of cognitive dissonance on the side of working class people who simp for the ultra rich, but it's becoming clearer how much the ultra rich really actually truly no-joke believe what's best for them is best for everyone. These people's opinions are simply untrustworthy.

Waiting for the think piece on how the megayacht industry is an indicator for global economic well-being.

This is hilarious. Genre defying work. youtu.be/gQx_S_iu-g8

Cold brew and Amaro Meletti is a solid way to end the day.

Okay, but this sign actually exists in the real world. My aunt gave us one. What's the point of making an AI image with a big titty tradwife to display it? What the fuck are we even doing here?

Finally got to Tactical Brach Wizards, and it's so delightful. One of the only tactics games I've ever finished. I was invested in the characters from the first mission. I've enjoyed @pentadact.com since Gunpoint, his writing is always incredibly fun.

So tired. So weird. So done.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Night Watch is my least favorite of the Discworld Watch novels. Just absolutely last place with a bullet.

one day you walked out of Blockbuster for the very last time and you never even knew it

With r/all gone, I'm at a loss. I relied on that to give me the biggest news stories as they broke. Bsky is weirdly kinda garbage for that, and I don't trust Google News to keep up or prioritize the same stuff. Do you have a spot you go where big, breaking news always winds up right at the top?

Occurs to me the best way to know when he dies is gonna be watching Kalshi and seeing when a handful of people take out unusually large bets on it.

In short, I can imagine plenty of left Rogans. What I can't imagine is a left Rogan that *spends most of their time telling their listeners how bad fascists suck & how to defeat them*, which would be, IMO, the highest & best use of a left Rogan.

"It's a drug that adjusts to your tolerance automatically." Putting a finger on exactly what AI actually is, and what it's actually trying to do. youtu.be/Q6nem-F8AG8

Man, this company. They were one of the biggest OEM contributors to anti-fuel-economy lobbying. Clearly they wanted their competition to take the easy route and keep making gas guzzlers so they'd be ahead in the electrification curve.

Mostly finished my first-ever 1/10 #rcdrift build. Now I just need to work up the courage to go to my local track -- which happens to be kind of a big deal in the scene -- and crash into walls for a few hours while I figure out how to drive this. #rccars

Not a bunch of millennials sitting around the shared workspace mouthing along silently as Wonderwall plays quietly in the background.

people often ask me about my approach to impact and change. there’s also a common — though rarely stated —assumption that ai auditors or critics should work with developers/vendors to drive concrete changes... product retraction, guardrails, mitigations, etc... 1/

I've worked in the automotive space for a decade, and this piece is absolute gospel truth and more important than every car review ever published.

First they censored Winona's Big Brown Churchill, now they're censoring our money.

One of the most annoying parts of this administration is learning the name of some new scurrilous chancer every week. Markwayne Mullin should be hawking the shittiest used cars at the worst dealership in town. Fuck all these people.

Imagine writing a spec-fic story a decade ago about a deeply predatory automation business that still somehow clung on to "but we won't automate starting WW3" as the last shred of their ethics being targeted and destroyed by a government looking to automate starting WW3. Totally unrealistic

If you see this qrp a monster! (A totally normal lobster friend) #art #illustration

Honestly, I'm not remotely worried about 3D printed guns, I'm worried about the millions of assault rifles sold legally every year. But there's no massive 3D printer lobby, so I guess politicians will just regulate those and claim they did something about gun safety?

"Is there any technology the left likes" is just a reframing of the original Luddite slander, reframing societal support for disenfranchising workers as "progress," and amy demands that the labor that paid for the tech benefit from it as regressive, knee-jerk, anti-tech.

A version of the 1995 song "Not an Addict" by K's Choice for philosophy and critical theory grad students that goes, "I'm not Socratic" instead. That's something, right?

We've built ourselves soulless masters who will dictate a narrower and narrower set of allowable words as they perpetuate a cycle of lexical decline. The reading level requirements for any commercialized writing just break my heart over and over.

Add to the list of "things I'd like a responsible government to investigate".... The circular grift that is the AI bubble, intentionally betting so big specifically to force the government to prop them up with my tax dollars. youtube.com/shorts/lxogG...

Fuck it, here's my joy today: finishing up a Vanquish VS4-10 build w/ kiddo (color schemes and stickering by him), and getting to see it crawl. Still gotta do lights and the driver figure. #rccars #rccrawler

I want to post about shit like the RC crawler kit I finished with my kid today, and how we went and played with it and how cool that was, but my government is murdering people in the streets and kidnapping children.

I just saw AI slop images described as "promptographs" by an AI bootlicker. Utterly unhinged. Real "maybe humanity doesn't deserve to exist anymore" energy.

So in the first month of 2026, the U.S. wrapped up its dacades-long project of comprehensively ceding global leadership to China for the foreseeable 21st century. A stunning success. (I'm not making a value judgement here.)

Me: I hate masking. Also me: yeah, let me try for two-tone seats and interior on this crawler body. (N.B. I also hate masking my neurodivergence, but I'm talking about the kind of masking with tape now) #rccars #rccrawler

What if the proliferation of AI slop is part of the reptilian/alien/monster plot to take over the world. Now when they start operating out in the open, everyone will just think photo/video evidence is AI!

Abolish ICE, prosecute every layer of the chain of command.

Ambivalence is a really important word and it's a crying shame it's been rebranded as "indifference" in common usage.

I've been doing it wrong. Pretty sure every short story I've published asks the question, "Yes, they're broken...but what if I broke them even more?"

I implore you to hit up CVS and get your flu shot. Please don’t game it with whatever else you heard. It’s real serious and we don’t gave any public health allies in the government now.

Wrote 500 words on my WIP and worked on a couple RC projects I've got going. Left is my first-ever attempt at painting a #Tamiya driver face (helmet not finished), and right is when I found out the body I bought is 10mm too short for my first-ever #rccrawler chassis build
