I live in the one part of Canada where these temperatures are an Emergency, but still: lol

At my plant there is a valve. Someone at another plant calls me and I drive a truck out to a remote location to wrench it open. Later, they will call again and I will go close it. We can't even make a business case to automate the valve, let alone whatever this dweeb envisions

Listening to Low's Hey What for the first time since Mimi's passing. Hard not to see her contributions as anything but a Last Will and Middle Finger

It sucks that when the UK was finally dying, in the 80s, it led to the greatest popular music ever being created, and in the US version, the soundtrack of our deaths is going to be Jelly Roll, Post Malone, and some impossibly vile creation titled Benson Boone www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7WP...

Björk recording “Hyperballad”:

Awful day yesterday. So first, all these assholes get on the wrong bus

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

"Dr. Pizza Buttface, a scientist."

Tired: go ahead punk make my day Wired: hasta la vista baby Inspired:

One of the most horrifying bits of Christopher Browning's book "Ordinary Men," on a group of German Holocaust perpetrators, is the fact that absolutely nobody in the unit Browning researched was ever punished in any way for refusing to participate in massacres. These guys could just say no.

Positively shocked that the house magazine of the Manhattan Institute is upset that my book refuses to attribute America's record-high homelessness to "personal choices"—rather than, say, rents outpacing income gains by 325 percent since 1985.

I think people should probably consider what it means that thugs are coming into a city, attacking people and accusing them of using children as human shields because there were children there. Because that's where they live. It seems like a rhetorical tactic we may have seen recently elsewhere.

I mean, here we have a feel-good story of ordinary defiance. Pushing back against hate. But you, the reader, may know (as I did not) who Mark Harris is and that his husband is in fact legendary American dramatist Tony Kushner. This would be like if Saul Bellow or Joan Didion told you to get fucked.

What ICE needs is more training. (extremely close to mic voice) potty training

Everyone's blaming the group chat but what you didn't know is that the 47 days of training was half learning all the goon phrases like, "Pick up that can" and "Move along, scum".

After over 2 years, they managed to track down a never used D1 play head and have been able to recover all 4 seasons at pixel accurate quality. What a great story. Big props to @linusmediagroup.com for being part of this.

Just some appreciation for the amazingly retrofutursitc side-car motorcycle, the BMW Krauser Domani. This looks like it's out of a piece of old sci-fi concept art.

Imagine what they're doing out of sight that makes them feel their behavior toward the public is acceptable and normal. That kind of attitude, the institutional culture it represents, doesn't happen just because some protesters have said things you don't like; it comes from practicing violence.

The moment that anybody outside the DHS apparatus gets inside one of these facilities without cleaning up beforehand, we're going to see things that even the most hardened and cynical among us can barely comprehend.

FRIDAY!

My journalism instructor nailed it 20 years ago: only weirdos want to be on camera

yeah here it is

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

Hit the late-night grocery place and ran headlong into a highschool friend who smelled like he's been living in his car (and mercifully didn't recognize me) which reminded me of ANOTHER high school friend who'd been living rough the last couple years who was beaten to death just before Christmas

I glued a fretboard back onto a bass for a friend of mine then spent four or so hours mixing my band's next EP. I guess I endorse this

i am losing my mind over this listing that staged a condemned philly trap house with AI

One of the best to ever do it

hello. here are some games that came out this year, this year of 2025, that are cool to check out. or don't check them out, i dunno it's your decision, i can't make it for you

Mario 65 is a fun little Mario fan game that recreates the classic Mario 64 intro screen, but with Mario a little older and worse for wear. henold.itch.io/mario-65 by #gamedev henold #indiedev #indiegame #gaming

Carousel jumpscare aside -- What always strikes me in these ultrarich superhomes is the total absence of interior lives. Do these people have hobbies? Do they do anything for fun, other than fill their houses with creepy bullshit?

tis the season

🎶Now I’ve heard that Leonardo leads And Donatello does machines But you don’t really care for turtles, does ya?🎵 🎶It goes Rafael is cool but rude Michelangelo’s a party dude The baffled Splinter hearing cowabunga🎵 🎵Cowabunga, cowabunga…🎶

Been a banger week for British institutions assuring us things definitely aren’t exactly how they look despite the mountains of evidence confirming them as such. Perhaps this is instructive about how power functions in this country and for whom. Probably not. Who cares.

I've been through the desert on a

i had a really great workout but have to wonder what the point is of being really strong. i’m just eating up more food and taking up time that could be spent reading a book or learning a new skill. instead im swinging this sleeping bag against a tree

I’m alive

Well it’s almost that time folks. Time to put up your Space Stocking and wrap your presents in hopeful dreaming of the arrival of the Xeno Santa and his cosmic sleigh, and what better place to do that than in Space Hotel, the hotel in the cold vastness of space that will open in 12 short months!

Lmao wow that’s some sick shit

In another installment of “adoptable pet that looks like a character actor” we are brought to veteran German actor Udo Kier
