Thing is we don’t have any fucking public restrooms and refuse to offer people healthcare for any mental issues outside of jails or prison, so yeah you have every right to be upset about something like this happening, but you have to understand *why* it happens.

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

I just can't get past the brazenness of this Orwellian shit. I can't believe he just got right up there and said this and didn't immediately die of shame

Some bullet points that I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could our journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

RETVRN.

King Arthur and his knights: ok so we just fought a dragon but have you seen how cool this table is, we can all sit at “the big table”

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

It ought to be noted that the Epstein scandal revealed not just a bunch of people wiling to rape children and suck up to people who did so, but also that a lot of elite people are just loathsome bigoted human beings.

Sometimes there's a moment in the archives where you really understand why you're doing it. This was mine. Jane was 12 at the time, the oldest of four, the one who bore greatest witness to her father's mental health struggles and his death a year earlier. This is how her mother talked about her.

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

This is all correct, except that the small pieces of dumb shit website is CRITICALLY important for me, for one reason: Without it, the small pieces of dumb shit would stay entirely in my head. This way I can get them out and they can bedevil the rest of you instead.

It is actually sickening to see Kash Patel getting a second-hand high from the US hockey team. They should be putting their cigarettes out on him.

took my kid to a local arcade for the first time yesterday and it’s all gambling now. they make you put money on a plastic card so you don’t even know how much you’re spending. first thing she wanted to do was play a claw machine that cost $3.25 a swipe. zilch. I’ve wasted money slower doing drugs

And yes, Crockett is up 47% to 36% with Latino voters. Because the pro-MAGA "I will vote for Donald Trump🤡" Latinos are a minority. Most Latinos in Texas are the people that Crockett is fighting for.♥️👍🏿 And she's up with Black voters. And independents. And she wins a head-to-head vs Paxton.

Rubio invokes “one Christian civilization,” yet his own life gives the lie. His memoir describes a journey through Catholicism, Mormonism, Southern Baptism and, more recently, both Protestant services and Catholic Mass. Christianity has never been singular.

Presenting Christianity as a single monolithic reactionary theocratic entity is a specifically right wing American Evangelical project and people need to stop falling for it for no other reason than the simple interest of seeing an enemy clearly

Thread. As a Catholic living in the heartland, I can tell you, the evangelicals and fundamentalists do not consider me "Christian" enough because I don't hate, exclude, or persecute the people they do.

If there’s one thing the #CADem Democrats can all agree on, it’s this.

Yep! I'm typically an early adopter and really enjoy tech, odds are good I'd be really into "AI" tools if they weren't being pushed by the most reprehensible shitheads on the planet who's opening move was to steal my art and mock me for caring about it before moving on to killing a bunch of kids

I'll say what no one in corporate America is brave enough to say: We are a Tom and Jerry brained workforce. We chase. We set traps. We blow things up. And at the end of the quarter, the mouse still has the cheese. What if we stopped chasing the mouse? What if we BECAME the cheese? 👍 2,304

I'm sick of this shit and of being harangued by strangers for posting something as innocuous as "I'm taking notes on the interviews I'm doing with the population I do research with." Was not even saying a particular thing about the contents of these. You want to talk about groupthink, jfc

he’s so close to getting it

the primary reason technology has broadly not helped education in the last 20 years is because the motivation behind putting technology in the classroom wasn't spurred by or thought of by teachers, but instead by people trying to profit off of schools buying shit

You are not lost. You are simply waiting to be found by the right person, the right book, the right movie, the right ghost in a malevolent fog, reaching out with its spectral hand to guide you to your new home in the shadows.

Meet Me in Chicago - Buddy Guy #Musicsky youtu.be/lls1HVWjdFs?...

those dudes in the back of the bobsled must be a special breed because most of the guys i know could never sit silently while someone else drives

Scratch a small-government conservative and you’ll usually find someone who’s happy to bring the full weight of the state to crush their perceived ideological enemies.

The fascist right will *literally kill people* over the idea of voluntarily using more thoughtful and inclusive language, and yet folks on the left are constantly tripping over themselves to adopt the latest garbage terms coined by the worst rape apologists in the world, I will never understand it

Nobody mixes sex, weather, and volcano metaphors better than Neil Finn.

I think I'd lose my mind if I really thought about the insane amounts of time and energy being wasted right now on failed AI integrations that are purely for DX and so that product owners can vibe code and design their own features.

I was a small child in the 90s, perfect age for The Little Giants and Hook, and I remember the OJ shit, the Oklahoma City bombing, James Byrd Jr. getting murdered in Jasper, etc. so the whole immaculate vibes wave is very off putting to me.

not a fan of the engagement hack where someone brings pissbaby screenshots from x over to here to dunk and then that becomes the weekend discourse. today it’s the onion man bringing that “ai is punk” take here and now everyone is trying to convince the choir it’s not punk and like duh tell them on x

The tragedy of John Fetterman is that he used to dress like a slob but have an encouraging spirt, making him an Oaf of Rugged Individuality, one of America’s great oaf groups. But now he dresses like a slob and whines all the time, making him an Oaf of Misery

Very revealing interview with two elite White House reporters: They’re covering a mad dictator and a liar, but they call him “transactional” and say “He simply does not prioritize being accurate.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-ashley-parker-michael-scherer.html

I know this will probably have asshats in my mentions again, but periodic reminder that everything happening now has a precedent. And that precedent is closer than slavery, internment, boarding schools, Jim Crow...it is the very modern school to prison pipeline. It is the last 40 years of policy.

I need people to understand that "AI" used in moderation isn't necessarily the "AI" of ChatGPT + friends or synthetic text extruding machines, or LLMs. There's stuff lumped under "AI", as the term is a marketing term, that is actually useful and important for flagging stuff on social media.

Look Both Ways - Chuck Prophet #Musicsky youtu.be/n25ZZ4j3vF8?...

“parental rights” is such an ugly freedom. It’s the freedom of parents to abuse children, to limit what their children learn to their own prejudices, and to keep domestic violence and sexual abuse a secret in the home
