The Bots have found me. Not sure what to do about it.

Explains the run on Gold Rustoleum.

DOGE was primarily about destroying government oversight of Elon Musk's companies and their contracts with the federal government. A lot of the stuff they did in other realms was just to cause as much chaos as possible to mask what they were really there to do.

It's impressive how the same general concept (Metallic exterior, and angular vehicle design) can work so well here... ... and so fucking poorly for the Muskmobile.

Keep on pedaling. 2025 is here.

“Until now, I’ve been a passionate supporter of SS-Sturmbannführer Arnold Toht, the Nazi who got his face melted off by the sight of God, in his race for Senator. I believe the people of Maine deserve better than Susan Collins”

Thanks to the President, it really is the Calvinball World Cup.

“My motherfucking Blackwater hat, political vacuousness, and complete absence of any other form of national or community service beyond [jerkoff pantomime] one enlistment in the Marines has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my motherfucking Blackwater hat, et al.”

IDK who this person is, but I had wondered where my overdue Le Guin had gone.

I'm not sure when @doctorow.pluralistic.net sleeps, but here's another banger. Shorter too so it'll be a quick read for you. "Google has turned fully parasitic, sucking the last drops of juice out of the open web before discarding its husk."

Going through old coverage of Star Wars for research and I came across this column by sci-fi writer David Gerrold in a 1978 issue of STARLOG It contains what is easily the coolest, weirdest, most wildly off-base fan theory about Obi-Wan Kenobi that I've ever read: HE WAS DEAD THE WHOLE TIME

What's it like in your head?

The Company I Work For: We have put up an achievements wall outside the ops center. Take a look! Faculties guy: these dates are wrong Me: this isn't even a wrong patent numbers, it's just nonsense.

I have no sides and I must LOL. 🤣

If you draw the short straw and have to reenact OPFOR, do it like this guy. BDUs and tennis shoes profile, no headgear, missing eagle ensignia. Skip the iron cross though (though this one appears to not have the swastika in it) and do a sports badge. Or a pokemon medal.
