There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

when pop culture no longer caters to your specific demographic you can accept that the world constantly changes or you can, I dunno, enact a fascist takeover of a country in the futile hope of forcing everyone to like the things you like

Sometimes I think about how much happier, or at least cooler, the US would be if they just made some room on their cereal boxes, embraced their bilingual identity and made it official.

There is a major political organization allied with the president that got so mad a Latino artist was tapped to play at the Super Bowl they made a whole alternative show. We should all take a moment to reflect on that. It is so blatantly racist.

“Measles at Disneyland” is simultaneously a news story, a metaphor for current events, and a good idea for an 80s Orange County hardcore band.

I grew up in LA. The hate against Latin culture and the Spanish language makes me profoundly sad but it doubles my resolve to absolutely crush MAGA into political oblivion and I just might taunt them in Spanish once we've done it.

It's been said many times, many ways: the fascists thought winning an election would mean winning the culture, and the fact that hasn't happened is making them rabid.

Even Trump chose to watch Bad Bunny sted of Kid Rock

quiet, piggy

Using Mr. Rogers in a Super Bowl commercial for mortgages should result in prison time

It’s half time, and that means it’s time for one of America’s most enduring and beloved traditions: mediocre white people being unproductively furious at having to notice brown people

free speech is dead

What’s also great is reading the dialogue with Claude where it stops and says “I need to stop and be honest with you about something important” and reveals it deleted every single photo. Software built for dunces

An Altair 8800, built from a kit by my high-school physics teacher, was the first electronic computer I ever programmed.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Not available in the US until 2029 at the earliest.

Been wanting to make a protest sign I can wear on my coat and finally did it #Antifa #Protest

Oh! Well, good for Massie. We need to push back and he, Garcia, Khanna, the survivors, and others are clearly trying. #EpsteinFiles

Imagine being so tough and alpha male you need a special halftime show made just for you so your feeling doesn't get hurt.

OK, then, let's rename it New York Knows Donald Trump is a Racist Piece of Shit Pennsylvania Station.

Trump's a fraud. Clear yet?

Sometimes I think about how blessed we are that Tolkien was a writer and not, say, a waiter. Customer: What’s the special of the day? Tolkien: [Bursts into song]

I'm not prepared to announce the date on which I shall take my first ride on #Toronto #TTC Line 5 #Crosstown.

In England they call him Naughty Rabbit

Issuing a rare Sunday morning executive order, Donald Trump announces Super Bowl to be renamed The Donald J Trump Real 14 Karat Golden Bowl.

Do I know anyone who has a contact at Venmo? Signal honk.612

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says the New England Patriots asked President Trump to play quarterback in today's Super Bowl but he had to decline because he has to solve 37 wars today.

Called my senators. Reminded them that they swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and since ICE is a foreign enemy of the Constitution, I want them to abolish it, not fund it.

Trump says he will not be attending the Super Bowl game this year because it's too far to travel just to have the fans boo whoever the guy standing next to him would've been.

The entire right wing relies on the British public not understanding: 1) Tax brackets 2) Inheritance tax 3) Inflation And it works. Every time.

Thousands of Trumpers say they will be watching the Republican half-time show while they eat their nachos and salsa because Bad Bunny and Hispanic culture have no place in Amurikun sports.

Deer My Friends People are askeen me to have a publick enquiree into the five year duhlay and 12 billiun doller cost increese on the Egglyton LRT but that would slow down other projects the same great folks are working on and also none of the construction guys bought 12 doller milkshakes. Premair

Hundreds of Trumpers say they'll be boycotting this year's Super Bowl unless San Francisco is renamed Saint Frank.

Hyper-local intersection of transit and politics

That didn't take long.

Will it be cold tomorrow? Yes. Do people riding the Eglinton Crosstown need buttons and magnets since there will be no official giveaways? Yes! Happy to do my part. Thanks to @cameronmacleod.bsky.social of @coderedto.bsky.social for the joy to giveaway!

“A harmful truth is better than a useful lie.” ~ Thomas Mann This 🧵from @elhopkins.bsky.social is 🎯 What blew my mind was how they doubled down on the BS. The harms/repercussions of those decisions/directions will be felt for years to come. Such a failure of leadership. And the human collateral…

Name the Toronto bar toilet challenge.

In California:

Being horrified by child rape is now polarized and politically decisive. Since that was already true of rape generally I suppose it was only a matter of time.

It’s weird how, long as they are, the Epstein Files feel like a quick synopsis of, pretty much, forever. This is excellent.

some fun background on those = signs lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2026/02/02/w...

It's so funny how many people have had their brains pickled by X and Fox News and can't believe that SF remains one of the most amazing cities in the world.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Current state of Republican Party politics: The president posted an image of the first black president and First Lady as apes; no one at the White House will publicly say that is not appropriate; the most likely person to face consequences is the party’s sole black senator — for calling it “racist.”

Pour one out for the reporters who will have to be at the Crosstown bright and early tomorrow to interview the transit keeners

Up to eight departures per day are cancelled next week because of ongoing reliability problems with the Siemens Venture trains. Spare equipment will be on standby to try to reduce unplanned cancellations. www.transportaction.ca/topics/inter...
