One of the greatest headlines ever made

Mayor Momdomi

Revealing to my future child that they were conceived at the Seventh Guest house during a retro 90's gaming retreat weekend. nunan-estate.com

Everyone needs to shit, sit, sprinkle, and sleep. Public benches. Public restrooms. Public housing.

Doing my prep for an Electric Bastionland game tomorrow, and there’s this alchemical magic to revising your prep material: starting with random tables, free associating connections, and then refining into something almost coherent. Lovely book.

i remember reading PKD stuff like this in high school and being like "ha yeah it probably *will* be like that" but i guess i never admitted to myself how inevitable it already was

I forget that there's a large subset of people surrounding Seattle who think that riding public transportation in our city is basically like the movie City of God

“Back Foot”. 2026. Digital.

Ok fine I’ll do it myself. I’m fucking wheezing

I spent 6 months working for a Swiss NGO researching the tactics used by Big Oil and how similar they are to Big Tobacco’s tactics, and I can tell you that the ones used by ‘Big AI’ are virtually identical.

Jesus this is fucking bleak

Perpetually pleased with how easy it is to toss a new player into Shadowdark, explain to them the rules, and have a no-nonsense game that just immediately gets to the fun part. Easily my fave D&D variant/derivative.

"When they returned to help Khalil, a sound grenade blocked their access to the damaged building, according to Lebanon’s health ministry, a senior Lebanese military official and press advocates." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The current AI Paradigm treats the idea of quantitizing as a process of finding 'efficiency' If you can rip out that much & meaning still carries w/ the same fidelity; then that was all fat, no muscle Same critique here: If you can afford this as a cost cutting w/o degrading, what were they doing?

George Will? More like George Wouldn't! Am I right, ladies? Am I right?

They are still relitigating the last election instead of currently laying the groundwork for winning the next one. And all of the candidates who need non-white supremacist, non-ableist, non-transphobic votes are very busy bashing the marginalized & disenfranchised. That’s how you lose again.

County Assessor appears to be 'posting through it'.

Me, in a sultry whisper as I dim the lights: "Do you mind if I put on some music?"

In retrospect, Garfield’s behavior towards Nermal was hella problematic.

I think Matt Christman described Trump as a man whose only real talent was "staying famous" - so much so that he ended up becoming President in order to do so.

That’s the way the kids are wearing them these days

Boss pointing to a guy who can't spell "December" or count to ten: "This guy's going to take yur JOBBBB!"

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor. The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

learning about Corrie's sacrifice, and that her name became a euphemism for pancakes amongst the IDF, quickly hardened me against any claims that this all started on October 7. I'm glad Van Hollen honored her here.

Me, sighing despondently as I snap the clicker and throw two Chicken-flavored SenaTreats onto the floor.

Captain Crunch declares jihad on Quaker Oats in first look at new Netflix series.

Say what you will, but "Skywalker" is one of the most badass Native-sounding names ever, and they gave it to a California white boy messing with his car.

TurboTax and H&R Block spent $7 million lobbying the Trump administration to kill Direct File. Both companies donated to Trump's 2024 campaign and inauguration committees.

Helped my dad assemble a bed frame from IKEA today. I felt like Knausgård.

Facebook is cooked, guys: Just a slop Ouroboros, sucking itself off.

😂

Who wears white to a genocide party?

I hope the couch makes him sleep on the floor after this

I remember this young woman on the light rail loudly telling a stranger how she had been asking ChatGPT for tips to socializing with people. (The man kindly suggested she talk to people instead) She awkwardly laughed and said that she had been doing this since her dad died. Cursed technology. 💀

These kinds of profiles are insulting but make a lot more sense when you realize there are a lot of highly paid PR people that leverage their connections to place these kinds fawning coverage in the NYT and other national magazines. It's always been indirect pay to play for the wealthy.

An easy win for Democrats would be taking an axe to Intuit and TurboTax. Do a woke-Doge tribunal kind of thing and regulate the bastards out of existence. Big, beefy IRS with free-file and tax help, audit the shit out of some oligarch tax fugitives and pass the savings into a simplified tax process.

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it. It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within. www.middleeasteye.net/news/i-wishe...

Talked to a woman who was using AI to plan her daughter’s gap year, and I realize this technology is creating insufferable new levels of helicopter parenting.

Any random billionaire or even merely millionaire executive controlling literally everything, would die in a gristly manner in about a week of living like a normal person with a normal job.

Part of why we remain here is that most people don't interact with the actual criminal punishment system, they are stuck in Law & Order land and fantasy land.

This detail from the CNN account gave me Anita Hill hearing flashbacks. 35 years on, and lots of men still don’t know how this shit works.

And let’s not forget: “standard interrogation techniques” are so bad they’re responsible for virtually all false confessions (Which are not rare) and are routinely used to manufacture the evidence in false convictions (which are also not rare). (see:

Typo aside, this is bad even by the standards of a Command & Conquer cutscene.

men are so stupid bc "entire team of women plus their one special little guy" is a top tier coworker situation to be in

It’s always been this dumb, right? Merchants would get up, look at their broadsheet and be like “Mein Gott! Guatavus Adolphus can’t get away with it this time!” and then the Vasa would sink from being too damn stupid, and 10,000 Franks or Danes would die of plague.

Feel like face tattoos are at that awkward point between “I’ve been in prison” and “I’ve attended college”.
