This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

This isn't a big one, but one of my favorite stories like this is when I was in the middle of a haircut and the woman cutting my hair said the only white people should have good jobs. So then I had to walk around with half a haircut until I found someone to fix it.

Are you my mouth guard? Because I want to grind you all night long.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

Charlie Kirk from The Charlie Kirk Show, Oct. 26, 2023:

Good’s last words to the ICE agent: “That’s fine. I’m not mad at you.” His to her, after shooting her in the face: “Fuckin’ bitch.”

Make it viral.

“David, who shall we invite to the wedding?” “Bono. Ono. Eno.” “I love you, you unstoppable conceptual bastard.”

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

The date today is 12/25/25. In thirteen months the date will be 25/25/25. It's very rare when something like that happens.

Yeah well my buddy already lost his job to artificial intelligence. He was an art thief.

No one told me Snoop Dogg sponsored a college football bowl game, and I'm made at all y'all about it. These are things I'd like to know about; looking at you, The Algorithm.

Citizen Kane was a cautionary tale of how power and greed can alienate and isolate oneself which is why I've taken to calling Musk, Citizen Lame. The parallels are uncanny between the two.

This is NGC 2264, also called the "Christmas Tree Cluster." It's a cluster of young stars about 2,500 light years away. They were 'born' during the Pliocene Epoch (2-5 MYA), about the same time as early hominids like Ardipithecus or Homo habilis, so they're barely older than humanity. 🎄💫🔭

Seeing "$1.5 billion" on the Powerball billboards definitely hits different while you're driving for DoorDash. That was a fun daydream during that shift.

Gifted this Adult Capri-Sun for Christmas.

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV. There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Does anyone else think Donald Trump cheats at golf? Or is it the one thing in his life that's sacred?

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

100% this and also I think these AI bros don’t get that there there are a ton of little micro ideas and decisions that are happening on the way from conception to finishing. It’s not all just follow through from the equivalent of a prompt. The steps in the process inform the whole concept.

Today in "Don't Trust AI to Tell You Facts": How several different "AI" programs messed up the simple fact of to whom I dedicated a book, and what that means for how much you should trust "AI" to tell you the truth about things (spoiler: not much at all): whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/13/a...

Elon is so poor, all he has is money.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵

I feel attacked.

Yer a wizard, Harry, Charlie Brown. I don't know if I'm doing this right...

Hearing even a *reference* to The Monster Mash ANY time of the year is infuriating. The song absolutely sucks and modern civilization shouldn’t even be aware of it. You should not and cannot and MUST NOT defend it. Let the worms of history finally have their feast.

He was elected president, and as president, his highest duty is to ensure that the laws of the land be executed faithfully. His job is to uphold the constitutional order, not tear it down and remake it in his image.

I’m the virus that kills the aliens!

why the hell are they confirming trump's judges when trump's speaker of the house won't swear in Grijalva?

Shout out to the top 5 kings in the world, Martin Luther, Larry, Don, Stephen and Americans don't have a motherfuckin'.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

One of the most interesting things about Jimmy Kimmel, and what I loved most about his conversation with Bill Burr a few months back, was that they’re both middle-aged white comedians who heard how culture has evolved, took notes, grew up, didn’t get defensive, and became *even more* successful.

Well now look at this fresh round of bullshit they tried to throw out in the Friday trash. ground.news/article/pent...

James Gunn, on this week's Peacemaker podcast, talks about how Disney fired him from Guardians 3 after bad-faith right-wing trolls hammered the company. He recalls going through a dark time, realizing he had good friends who loved him, creatively realigning, and now he's running a movie studio.

Brilliant breakdown on the Jimmy Kimmel story 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you @underthedesknews.bsky.social
