Remember when literally anybody gave a fuck about the Emoluments Clause? Good times.

Happy "Raw Doggin' Windows 10 Day" to all who celebrate.

IYKYK

If you love the Tron Ares soundtrack, wait until you hear about Gary Numan's last three albums.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Just gonna keep reposting this until it sinks in.

So... when the fuck is the general strike?

We're getting closer to full-on Butlerian Jihad territory.

New season of Good Omens just dropped.

The problem with the Rapture is that if it did occur, the wrong people would still be here.

Happy Equinox, y'all! Fun fact: "equinox" is derived from a Latin phrase meaning "fascists are dipshits".

I feel like it would be a nice change of pace if one or two of these horrors were eldritch. As a treat.

Exercise update: Spelled "conscientiousness" correctly on the first try.

The silence of the @washingtonpost.com editorial team after Kimmel's federally mandated censure is... well, totally understandable because they bent the knee ages ago. Still, they never find an opportunity to disappoint.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

I watched "Good Night and Good Luck" today and holy fuck do I wish we had a functioning media right now.

A house down the road is getting its roof replaced and the roofer keeps firing their gun in a "shave-and-a-haircut" pattern and it's incredibly distracting. I feel a bit like Roger Rabbit.

It's only political violence if it's perpetrated against the ruling class. Otherwise it's just sparkling fascism.

Thank you, YT algorithm, for briefly shielding me from the discourse by dropping me into this delightfully bizarre rabbit hole and reminding me that there are no bounds to human creativity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaG5...

Say it with me: "I type the shitpost. I delete the shitpost." "I type the shitpost. I delete the shitpost." "I type the shitpost. I delete the shitpost."

Shut the fuck up friday is in full effect

Mastodon loves hating on Bluesky but at least we all agree Gavin Newsom is a transphobic shithead.

One word and I can get you within 20 miles of my home town. "Hella".

I can't understand why the entire country needs to take health guidance from a guy who sounds like he smokes a pack a day through a tube in his trachea.

Portlanders, a quick reminder: the appropriate response to completely off traffic lights is to stop, as you would at a flashing red. kthxbai

I just finished watching the F1 movie and I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that it was familiar. Then I realized it's the same basic plot as Major League. Which did it better, btw.

Quick reminder that a settlement in this case means that Anthropic can continue to claim they did nothing wrong. And it leaves the question of AI IP theft legally grey. This isn't actually a good result except for the lawyers. It lets all AI companies know their theft is legal for a price.

Look, dear coworker, the very suggestion that *I'm* the one who doesn't know what's going on is extremely plausible, okay? Sheesh.

What the fuck is this?

Social media today has served me content featuring both a skink and a skunk, so now I'm just missing the skank, the skenk, and the illusive skonk to collect them all. (Some might ask about the skynk but I'm a purist.)

The fun part about being bad at making mashups is that I have so many that were made just for me. My own collection of little misshapen aural freaks. Some are genuinely bad, some are weird, some are flawed, and some are simply obscure. But hey, that's what hobbies are for.

Outside the venue for tonight's Nine Inch Nails concert. Dude next to us is lamenting that the algorithm has figured out that he likes big-tittied goth girls.

Reposting for the golden hour crowd. *snrk* Get it? "Golden" hour? *sigh* Why am I like this?

Love is when you get trapped under a cat on your lunch break and your spouse brings you your laptop so you can avoid disturbing the snoozing kitty.

Got bored last night.

Of all the AI bullshit I didn't ask for, this is the one I didn't ask for the most.

"You weren't there in the days of dialup, so you may not know that, before we taught them to speak, we taught the machines to scream."

A robot may not harm a corporation nor through inaction allow a corporation to come to harm.

Oh. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfJ7...

If you must use Google, change the search address to: "http://google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14" to remove the AI slop and sponsored ads. It takes a few seconds to do, and it immensely improves your Google experience!

Can't say I give a fuck where the In-N-Out CEO lives as long as they insist on printing scripture on their packaging. That's gross no matter where you call home.

I hope Disney makes a spinoff of Andor called Ifthen.

I really poorly painted my fingernails last night because the matte top coat I used had gone a little too goopy to spread evenly. I was irritated at the time and almost stripped all of it off. But today these nails, even with their crappy, uneven finish, make me happy. Sometimes close is enough.

This is a post about F1. It's rare when it happens, but it's amazing watching all the teams celebrate Hulk and Sauber today. I needed that hit of pure joy, which seems to elusive these days. Congrats, Hulk! This has been a post about F1.

At lunch on the outskirts of Astoria. A nearby table is populated by middle-aged white MAGAts lamenting the supposed terrors of immigration. They seem to be enjoying the tacos, though. I wish hypocrisy was accompanied by intense physical pain.

Gonna be tough trying to celebrate the birth of our democracy tomorrow when we're still busy mourning the death of it today.

I don't normally post good news but I'm surfacing here to mention that replacing the power steering fluid in my Miata solved the whining sound I was hearing and I didn't have to rebuild or replace the whole pump. Celebrate the wins where you can, because they are few and far between.

I know I'm a couple weeks late with this hot take, but I do want to point out that if Qatar wants to give him a 737-MAX, I'm all for it.

Overheard at the symphony: "Mescaline is not for the faint of heart."

I'd like to take a moment to remind the youngs that, just like fascism, we tried mullets before and they weren't a good look then and they aren't a good look now.
