In a normal timeline, a US president commissioning a 10 meter tall gold coloured statue of himself for the presidential library would be a dumb April fools joke, because it's too obvious. Now it's the reality that killed satire.

I just noticed that if you play a druid in Diablo 2 and enter the Claw Viper Temple, your character says "Oh no, snakes. I hate snakes." I know it's an Indiana Jones reference, but I feel like that should have been said by any other character than the druid.

So... you're saying she has an alibi?

The 2026 Candidates chess tournament starts today. How excited is everyone? Not very, is my guess.

They could have used the Four Seasons Total Landscaping venue for this.

Just watched the Murdoch 4-episode documentary. Pretty good I think, but I'm really tired of one thing. When you make a documentary, could you please work chronologically? That fancy and constant jumping back and forth in time can be fine for a movie, but it's confusing in a documentary.

"SOUTH AFRICA TELLS LIBERALS: F*** OFF." New hunting influencer comms strategy. Bold move. "Most liberals don't support hunting!" they defend themselves in the comments. Ok, and you want to make sure that it's no liberals at all instead? Including liberal wildlife scientists?

My resignation letter

Most honest reporting in the past few weeks.

incredible -- Fox & Friends completely ignored Trump's batshit post celebrating Mueller's death during their brief news hit about Mueller's passing, and instead highlighted the more normal response of George W Bush

The goldfish Trump: “he does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places.”

I regret to inform America that this was just posted by the HHS Secretary.

The only thing keeping Pete Hegseth from not being a fucking idiot is that he's a fucking idiot. He could very well not be a fucking idiot, should he not be one.

This is wonderful: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-cabi...

This is how to do playgrounds and playground philosophy. A playground where you can't break your neck is a boring one.

I feel like it would have looked better to do this in one volume.

My wife no longer trusts me when we're on holiday and I tell her that a distance is easily walkable.

Does the expiration date on a cream for athlete's foot matter? This one expired 6 years ago. You think it still works?

Oh ffs, is there no bottom to this circus?

This is the new "You can't grow concrete." You can't build bananas.

Maybe Hegseth has a point. He went to Princeton, and look how he turned out.

I sometimes worry that I inadvertently read so much AI-writing that I'll start writing like that. Maybe in itself a good reason to cut down on internet reading and read more pre-AI books.

"By the time this book is published, hundreds of thousands of American lives will have been sacrificed on the altar of Donald's hubris and willful ignorance. If he is afforded a second term, it would be the end of American democracy."

In 3024 years, life will either be really good or really bad. It's 5050.

Don't allow this. Pete Hegseth is hiding in the boat and will sneak out and open the gates to Greenland at night.

What are the ecological effects of releasing and managing mallard ducks for hunting? Our new OA paper with @ecoevoenviro.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... What did we find? A short 🧵

For years, the FDA website warned of products and remedies claiming to treat autism that were being marketed deceptively and can be harmful. Just a few: •hyperbaric oxygen therapies •chlorine dioxide •raw camel milk. Now, under RFK Jr, that advisory is gone. New, @megomatz.bsky.social

This cake isn't that funny without context, which I guess non-Danish don't have. Denmark has long had a Kaj Kage, which is made to look like the frog Kaj from the Kaj and Andrea puppet show. Kaj sounds a lot like Kvaj (moron), so the new version is orange and looks like Trump and is called Kvaj.

Today, I writing about the environmental legacy of Nixon (the last criminal in the white house before this). He relied on a 1965 report stating clearly the impact of the greenhouse effect. Today, the current occupant trashes all of this - www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

How is this not satire? How... Is this not... Satire? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

As someone who knows nothing about figure skating, I think it seems very repetitive. It looks like they're just doing the same spinny jump thing over and over again. It looks very hard, but I don't think it looks like there's much variation other than in how good they are at that jump.

You're seeing what I'm seeing, right?

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

I'm hugely in favour of this thing where conservatives from now on have their own separate entertainment with only conservative artists. Because watching them try to convince themselves and others that what they have is good is just quality entertainment for everyone.

If he really peed this, with that penmanship, drip-control, and volume, that is a more impressive accomplishment than he will ever achieve as an Olympic athlete.

On board with this.

We've reached the "you should smile more" stage of fascism.

Turns out she managed to get the selfie before she was mauled.

As Trump slides into madness, so seemingly does the crowd of people that he likes to have standing behind him. Very soon, they will be joined by a firefighter, three toddlers in a trench coat, a wookiee, the bottom half of a giraffe, a mariachi band, and the bony remains of Charlton Heston.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

better to have prompt and lost than never to have prompt at all

Guess the movie.

'Brett Ratner’s tasteless, tedious, criminally shallow propaganda puff piece 'Melania' is nearly two hours of self-congratulatory torture...Ratner couldn’t find the humanity in a funeral." www.rottentomatoes.com/m/melania

Why am I supposed to take it as a positive that someone was a "man of faith"? Tell me that they were a "man of reason" and I'll take it as a positive.

The worst thing about being an atheist is knowing that Trump is 79 years old and believing that only while he still lives will he be able to pay for everything he's done.

Is anyone else seeing this? Read the last page... www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

I hate how, in discussions about whether videos of current events are AI-generated or not, agendas have overwhelmingly come to overshadow the pursuit of truth. I was studying videos of Alex Pretti kicking the car taillight tonight, trying to find out which are real and which are AI... (cont.)

There is to me something especially sad about seeing how deeply corrupted all the official channels of communication have become. Crazy individuals will be crazy individuals, but it used to always seem like official institutional channels of communication would remain professional, if not impartial.
