Reports of gunfire in Caracas, Venezuela.

I was repairing a toy with superglue. Peered over my glasses as I lined up the little pieces and pushed them together, then *splat* superglue in my freaking eye. 😣

why did i spend five figures on a gluten detection service dog? bc he just saved us from this oregano the basil from the same brand, in the same packaging, was fine the ancho chili powder from the same brand in glass bottle was also fine

welp

Does anyone know if Word Perfect has gone the way of Microslop?

It's so cool and forward thinking to take one of the most recognizable brands in human history, something that basically everyone who uses a computer is familiar with, and just smear a heaping shovel of dogshit all over it. Masterful gambit, sirs.

going to start referring to outside cats exclusively as "coyote cattle"

My elder kids pre-cringe whenever I get the slightest opportunity to say "Pokemans". 10yo still hasn't quite figured out that I'm doing it intentionally.

Sweden and Finland joining NATO just in time to defend Denmark from a US attack. Not on my bingo card.

Tim Walz drops his bid for re-election as governor Minnesota. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

Me, every year. 😅 _At least_ Epiphany. But I've said it before: if I had my way, the tree stays til Candlemas. It's senseless to end things so abruptly with no alleviation from the misery of the remainder of winter. Medieval folks absolutely had the right idea celebrating Christmas until then.

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

A trans woman uses a public restroom and we get a decade of “WE MUST PROTECT THE CHILD FROM GROOMERS!!!” but Elon Musk makes a child pornography machine and everyone shrugs. This is my Joker origin story 😡

Betcha this is going to work out GREAT for neurodivergent people.

off in the distance, I’m hearing a sad trombone noise

We’ve been talking about this on @killthecomputer.com for a bit and I’m glad it’s getting noticed. Awhile back I scrolled the grok media tab for a second and felt like I needed to turn myself into the FBI. This needs to result in arrests www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

APNewsAlert: HAVANA (AP) — Cuba says 32 Cuban security officers were killed in U.S. attack on #Venezuela.

Apparently Wegman’s is now storing biometric data on shoppers, including eyes voices and faces 😬 gothamist.com/news/nyc-weg...

talked to the owner of a denim company that produces jeans in the US. he said that he's seen declining sales abroad in EU and Canada. stores tell him that customers don't want to buy MiUSA products bc Trump makes dumb, pointless threats like "taking over Canada or Greenland"

I know we’ve been living in Bizarro World for at least a decade now but the Prime Minister of Denmark felt compelled to make this statement today 😮

Denmark needs to get rid of the US military base in Greenland and so does the rest of Europe. They aren’t going to defend against a Russian invasion but open a secondary front line to invade you too. It’s time to kick the US out worldwide.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture. In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

Our 12yo cat, on day 16 of school break, pauses after fleeing the basement when the bouncy 4yo races down to play. "He's still here. Somehow, he's still HERE. Does he ever go to school anymore??? Is this forever???" *thousand yard stare*

There's a lawyer in the twin cities who is a tiktok creator and he very famously loves Dunkin but can never return because of the time he asked for a dozen "munchholes."

Nothing about these guys is subtle, I’ll give them that

Well, well, well

Following the U.S. ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, President Trump promises a peaceful transition of oil.

If his handlers weren’t the real problem, we could literally just lock him in a room with a TV and reverse Truman Show his entire administration to him and avoid the atrocities.

I feel like Trump needs a better pitch than “you need to trust me, a big stinky loser who stabs everyone in the back”

Where's a good place to start learning about the recent state of China's influence in Latin America?

This red squirrel ate through a window screen to break into the cottage, knocked over a large container of peanuts, got the lid off and ate them all, then swanned about the place knocking over small lamps until the next time people arrived

Translation: I'm a fucking idiot and a rube and you're dumber than me if you vote for me or donate to my campaign

people probably need an emotional/mental palette cleanser here is a cat owner being a cat to her cats

living in this country is like being awake on the table

Reuters news outlet finally ended by Trump

I rarely even respond to these people because it is unbelievable how incompetent these people are. They don’t read. They’ve gone mush brained. The rule is right there and they’re always so surprised when they get put in the fuck you box. Also I’m coining slopmonger if someone hasn’t already.

Wait you can just like kidnap another county's president from their country and charge them with crimes in your country DO THE OTHER LIKE 194 COUNTRIES KNOW THIS???? THAT THIS CAN BE DONE???? TO PRESIDENTS?????

Fucking hell they're just going to toss away the books?! www.ndtv.com/world-news/n...

every time i read about the insane perverts attempting to gain access to daycare centers by force I think about this review for a dojo that I read ages ago. no, you are not entitled to places just because you want to go there. grow up

“‘The body cam software and the AI report writing software picked up on the movie that was playing in the background, which happened to be ‘The Princess and the Frog…'”

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."
