Never forget the time in 2020 Charlie Kirk (dead now) pretended to be a black guy on Twitter but forgot to switch accounts when giving himself a nice compliment.

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

if you drive a car after a snow storm and do not clear your WINDSHIELD completely you should have your license revoked for several years. america needs to be more aggro about the fact that driving is a privilege you have to be responsible with and not a right.

notice how this happens at almost every high profile school shooting now.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

Just your daily reminder that the occurrence of frequent uncontained measles outbreaks in a country is not a flex, it is a marker of under development and a failed public health system.

how many more versions/ports of skyrim will bethesda pop out before we get TES VI (if that even happens before microsoft's finance people just turn bethesda into the fallout studio)

i love that a significant portion of the population of the world believes in demons and the devil and satan. they just think this stuff is real and it genuinely scares them

waymo to recall software after some vehicles were seen passing stopped school buses (with their lights on and crossing control arm deployed) www.npr.org/2025/12/06/n...

i hate how like, annoying and awful being a proponent of technological advancement is these days because of billionaires and billion dollar companies doing completely fucking dumb and dangerous shit in the search of profit/because they can rather than actually focusing on progress.

Yuuuuuup. Cassidy was the deciding vote to install RFK Jr. as the head of the American health system. We had decades of evidence that Kennedy was a dangerous crackpot, and it was ignored. Kinda late to be trying to CYA here.

we gotta do something about the tech world

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

I really think that even most people who think language policing was a huge problem over the past 5-10 years have no patience for the disgusting little freaks who have tried to bring back "retarded" as a slur. It's just so low-rent and such a tell that the person using it is not worth your time

with all disrespect to the brands, 30% off is really not all that exciting in this economy

Anyone who does this should be held legally accountable. Any government official who allowed doing this to be legal in their city/state should be held legally accountable for this. No, you can’t actually just tee-hee falling asleep while driving a fucking car. What is wrong with all of these people

If you said you were drunk but thankfully you barely drove home without passing out it would be universally agreed you should go to jail. It’s maddening how apparently if you own a Tesla, though, you’re allowed to brag about getting behind the wheel while impaired to the point of unconsciousness.

i'm assuming this is like, proprietary information, but do we have any good estimates of how much power/water is utilized for each token an LLM uses?

s/o to the ocaml maintainers bc this is a way nicer response than deserved or anyone else would have given i fear.

mamdani keeping a zionist police chief (i have heard his explanation of this - it's bullshit) and taking a meeting with trump is exactly why we cannot have "good" progressives in the current electoral system.

cloudflare and github going down on a day i planned to jump into making a basic web tool for my own use feels like an omen lmao

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Cities Skylines 2 transitioning devs post-release with all of the issues that the game has is wild and I feel like is a death march for the game and potentially the franchise as well. Hoping for the best but a bunch of devs w/o direct experience in that codebase taking the mantle feels like disaster

I don't expect the bluesky mods to enforce their TOS against government accounts. But they are the ones who decided to make the social media site where all the autistic people hang out. "Say what the rules actually are, then apply them like you said you would" is a bare minimum for this crowd.

blaming pedophilia on bipolar disorder is next level

I think like, being from Philly, it's really weird seeing this mistake in other people. Like, Philly is a deep blue city, with a diverse population, and abolitionist roots. The city is also still insanely racist, far more than outsiders really pick up on.

it's really weird when a stop-gap job you get as a way to pay the bills whilst you figure your life out becomes a career accidentally bc wdym this is probably what i'm going to spend a significant chunk of my life doing?

every time some prominent man is like ‘but all men want to fuck 17 year olds! every last one!’ i feel just fucking empty man. because there’s no way to confirm it isn’t true is there? i can’t prove that all of civilization isn’t just an elaborate cover for men’s supposed desperation to fuck children

i really do not get why people who use a secondary monitor + a laptop try to replicate the side-by-side thing. that's the most evil non-ergonomic setup for those specifics. putting your laptop under/in front of the 2nd monitor is almost always going to be better ergonomically.

They should invent a head of trust and safety who you can trust to make things safe.

I see no path forward between what people are saying they want and the Democratic party as currently constituted. No path.

I am begging Bluesky to please, please, please hire a comms person. They keep trying to engage people to explain why paraphrasing Johnny Cash is wrongspeak and end up looking more and more ridiculous. Dudes. You flag Victorian trick films for graphic violence. Just. Stop. It.

Random thought but it's really frustrating that Apple has built a best in class X86 to ARM translation layer with Rosetta 2 and just... intends to kill that product in like 2 years without any plans to open source it or anything?

Watching the Trump/MTG feud like

TW: CSA I really do not enjoy that a lot of the reporting and talk on Epstein feels v. sensationalist and focuses a lot more on controversial aspects that are "easier" to talk about than the fact that a ton of "elites" within this country have taken part in a mass child sexual abuse ring.

The President is a paedophile who will likely never face justice but please remember to never talk about what you think should happen to him!

patton oswalt aside, link is still on a permaban over using a kirked up white boy as a reaction image during a site’s CEO’s crashout, accused of promoting/glorifying violence meanwhile, the @deptofwar.bsky.social account posts actual death threats w/ evidence of carrying them out & it’s just cool?

if anyone fucking does this shit to me and any concept of an afterlife/haunting people exists i am haunting your ass

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

i regret having literacy after reading anything about the epstein docs that dropped

Honestly I think part of what makes Fallout's TV adaptation so in line with the franchise (and also annoying) is the random maybe retcons that will probably never actually get confirmed or addressed by writers because Bethesda's relationship with canon is... loose and barely existent.

the most embarrassing part of this is for Landon being a reporter and thinking no one would ever see these emails

Stop me if you've heard this before: If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF??? They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???

Random uneducated thoughts on the Steam Machine but I wish they had gone with something more akin to the prototype that a youtuber got their hands on and dug around on/in than the current design. The current design feels too much like an xbox or smth another tech company made.

*Not read the article yet* But everytime i see a headline associated with Esther Ghey its is her talking about restricting school phone use in her daughters name. Its utterly weird, she was murdered cos she was trans, not by algorithms
