i think that such things as music, bicycles, and candy should be made illegal

Oh, neat! (Firefox version downthread)

I have no idea what the fuck it will mean if this happens. It will simultaneously be an extremely humiliating and proud moment in American history if it happens, I think.

I kind of expected the Maduro capture would give Trump a burst of popularity that quickly fizzled, but it doesn't appear to be happening.

As someone who's been in the speedrunning scene for a decade plus, GDQ's influence on the space has been really dramatic in ways I find very challenging to articulate until I attempt to interact with any community that hasn't had a similar concerted effort to improve its image lol.

This is the type of stuff that does not get you shunned in Silicon Valley, but held up as some bold visionary

I think this is the product of an underlying recognition by the various viziers, and even Trump himself (at least with regard to the Supreme Court), that the survival of this administration is entirely dependent on America's media and financial elites being able to pretend that everything is normal.

I did an alt cover for Mega Man ZX, so get that when you can.

Scott Adams about to unlock the ultimate hack to "get the hell away from Black people," excited for his breakthrough

I feel like trump could start a nuclear war and some people would say, "oh it's a distraction from the epstein files" as we all turned to ash.

Around 2.28 he says tells Tapper: "You are approaching this from the wrong frame, this neoliberal frame that the United States job is to go around the world and demand immediate elections be held everywhere." Man, I know neoliberalism has been defined in all sorts of ways, but thats truly a new one.

29 years ago today, Homer Simpson had an epic chili pepper-induced hallucination. “El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer” first aired January 5, 1997. Most of the sequence was animated completely by David Silverman as he wanted it to look exactly as he had imagined it.

I haven't been online for a couple weeks but am given to understand that the bluesky vibes are rancid atm. I love dunking and have been known to engage with some bad-faith fuckery for the validation! But boy howdy we all of us need to ensure we're seeking out positive, real-human interactions.

SIX MONTHS FROM NOW: GOD: You want to tell me why you died wearing panties fighting for the Danish Foreign Legion over a pile of snow? ME (defensively before going to hell): Hey man, isn't knowing this sort of stuff your job?

Like I'm sure that take was dumb, but nothing you could ever post about it will have any effect on the physical universe we inhabit, it'll just make others and yourself more upset, so just take a deep breath and move on

Uh

this is _also_ why a certain group of people get so livid over anonymous accounts, particularly if they're good poasters and draw blood.

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Even Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries might be able to do winning politics with this.

Let 2026 be the year you draw your weird cringe sci-fi/fantasy webcomic, don't let that shit die with you having never left your head.

why though?

also, hammering the same message over and over is how you get it to sink in you knew it's been bad for a while? great! lots of people don't! "thing is bad" doesn't become popular consensus unless a lot of people who already know it's bad are willing to say so loudly and consistently

In terms of policy, there's not actually a ton of difference between Zohran Mamdani and a lot of other blue state Democrats. But Mamdani can sell his ideas a million billion times better than they can.

It's less the sentiment than the way Schumer states it. He sounds like a teacher who has lost control of his classroom.

There ARE content creators who are willing to make explicitly pro-Democrat content. Contrapoints comes to mind as a big one, for instance. But the party just generally doesn't seem interested in fostering those links, and Chuck Schumer does not make good viral daily content like, say, Mamdani does.

I had not even considered the possibility that Maduro could get out on bail. I doubt the administration did either.

Very few of our “serious adults” actually know how to be serious, which involves reacting to stuff APPROPRIATELY, and in other words reacting very strongly when something merits it. Instead, they do a kind of mimicry of seriousness, in which they never react strongly to anything at all.

Looks like Karl Sad Trombone finally got b&, for advocating violence against a bunch of random liberal accounts. On the one hand, Karl was a generally unpleasant asshole. On the other hand, threatening violence against people is absolutely banworthy, especially from a big account. In conclusion: lol

Tangential to the much more important point but this is why I am bearish on LLMs-as-customer-service agents and such. They know what they’re supposed to say but it’s all lies. If you could get them to actually do what they say then you might have something but that’s drawing the rest of the owl.

Oh shit

I'm not a podcast guy but if these two guys started one I'd be seated

it's truly incredible that after a decade of trump being involved in politics (setting aside decades of his history in business) so many people still line up to make deals with him that end up with his knife in their back. anyway, mariá machado, step up and claim your fell for it again award.

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.
