Friend Club - a guy goes into a fugue state and catfishes lonely men into coming out and having 3-6 beers then radicalizes them with missions like "you will reach out to an acquaintance and you will ask them for help with something" and "you will go to the farmer's market and chat with the vendors"

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

the main reward you are likely to get for total loyalty to trump is the destruction of your career and your reputation www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/n...

absolutely wild move by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov to allow comments on the dropbox folder with the epstein photos

If this were true, they wouldn't be banning the medical care that does this.

The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

Everyone else go home — this is the year we secure ABOLISH ICE on a Chicago Snowplow chicagoshovels.org

Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

he also kind of gets everyone's asses again in this follow up with the washington post

This is a wild hack. a16z gave a million dollars to startup called Doublespeed. They use a phone farm to flood social media with AI generated influencers and ads. A hacker remotely broke into the phone farm, unmasking the AI influencers/fake accounts, gave us the data www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

so it turns out "every problem is individual and no solutions are communal" is maybe not a great way to run a country?

every day millions of people rely on AI to answer their questions and come away a little dumber

goddamn ai sucks so much now we have a .gov website that can't get OUR OWN FUCKING FLAG right. this dogshit technology can't even get it wrong in the same way twice.

Twitter sucks but I shan't get caught up in concerns over user count, or Bluesky this versus Twitter that... I don't care where my posts go, I just need to post them for some reason. If they found my skeleton on an island they'd see a sheet of bark (?) with "dick stuck in frond" scrawled on it

Growing up a trash ass part of the Midwest, a highlight of everyone’s year was going to the county fair and paying $5 to take three swings at an old Mercury Cougar with a baseball bat or a sledgehammer. I believe the fire department raised about half their budget that way. Just a thought.

I would like to bring over my theory for solving America’s deadly roads. I call it the “Gay Truck Rule” and it would save thousands of lives every year.

As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

Anyway, just say a prayer to your ancestors like a normal fucking person. You're not *forcing* them to talk to you that way, you're having a normal conversation and if they have anything to say back, they'll let you know. "Kate prayer isn't real" YEAH WELL NEITHER IS AI GRANDMA

for real tho how inappropriate was this relationship, like Michigan State level or Ohio State level

All these super-genius visionary übermenchen say they need "AI" to figure out what the average prehistoric grandparent taught their kids.

Oh, just on track for the lowest it’s ever been in the 21st Century… No big deal or anything, definitely wouldn’t want that in the headline or anything…

For any Dimension 20 nerds out there, we WILL be bringing the dome to Capitol Hill if I win.

They’re all like “The purge should be real, time to cull the weak” as if a single one of them would be alive 12 hours into it. It’s adorable.

You got it, Joe! 👍👍

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Sensing a pattern

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

Wankers are always taking the piss. And it's right bollocks

just so we're all on the same page there is absolutely no reason to engage with bill kristol or any of his dipshit washouts at the bulwark. please just stop. I know it's very flattering to have a once-influential neocon agree with you or whatever but leave this man in the ditch where he belongs

"The playbook here is familiar," @parkermolloy.com writes for HW. "Find a trans person in a position of minor institutional authority. Manufacture or amplify a confrontation. Blast it through the conservative media ecosystem until it becomes national news. Watch as institutions capitulate."

if you give a shit what bill kristol thinks you should make room in your skull for someone who will use it

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

i believe i will live to see pete hegseth in chains

Emma Goldman was right.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

This was two days ago.

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

can’t help but notice it’s ‘they’ when a single mother might manage to use SNAP benefits for food that actually tastes good but it’s ‘we’ when a handful of ketamine addicts wanna ruin the economy

Terumaru, a bright young lightbulb and the mascot of the Tokyu Denki electric company, trapped in a door yesterday:

it finally happened, the youtube fyp served me up a video from a crypto channel with no views.

these people basically just take luxury government jets and go to fancy events like make a wish kids while their minions flashbang your elderly neighbors

All of healthtech, hundreds of billions of dollars, bundled up in making AI chatbots to misinterpret charts, or clunky apps for wearables that'll end up in a landfill in three years — wasted. A hundredth as effective as a Ford Transit with two PAs and a blood pressure cuff.

never fails

Trump drooling over Mamdani in the Oval Office the same day Hakeem Jeffries voted to condemn socialism could not be funnier to me
