Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

If you’re thinking of making a joke, please don’t. It’ll be shit. news.sky.com/story/singer...

Even if they are “only doing it now so the Warner Brothers Discovery goes through” it still hurts their credibility and there is no evidence they will stop if it does go through

I love this. I love that the first part made it sound like it would be one of those “people in power don’t care about your negativity but you’re hurting your friends instead” style of comment but completely flips to “actually they do care a lot so keep doing it” made me so happy.

Bari Weiss won't hear your remarks about how disgusted you are with her toadying to the admin but on the other hand yes she will, these people are absolute dogs for attention and would eat their own vomit on live TV if it meant even three people would notice them

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

There is no thaw without the freeze. The ferryman will have his fees, So light your lamps and keep them bright Against the cold and longest night. For this we know: the fire burns. The winter dies. The sun returns. And all if we stand, and if we fight, We can survive the longest night.

The wheel turns; the summer ends. The light departs, the cold descends, And we are left to hold the light Against the cold and longest night. The wind that howls around the door, The tracks of snow upon the floor. Reach for your loves and hold them tight Against the cold and longest night.

In general, AI adoption levels are a measurement of to what extent a particular reward system (a corporation, a market, academia as a whole system) has ceased to distinguish between doing a thing and pretending to do a thing

So, what breed IS your cat? None. (None breed, left beef.) Wha? How? Cat breeds are just NEW. Despite them living with us for thousands of years, we only have about 40-150 years of cat breeds existing, and they aren't out mixing with random cats. 97-99% of cats are breedless!

A big part of this misconception is from a very common phenomenon of folk assuming things they've learned about dogs having a 1:1 correlation with cats. Cats are very understudied compared to dogs. So a person that knows dogs are a mix of breeds may, very incorrectly, assume cats work the same way

I would like to articulate one of the BIGGEST misconceptions about cat breed genetics by talking about the NEBELUNG! An extremely rare breed with only SIX(6) in the whole US, and no breeders, yet one that thousands of folk online are convinced they own. Your cat is NOT any breed, and that's okay.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Also its a poem I wrote about a local trickster spirit, my time squatting in an illegal hmo, and skinning landlords under the full moon.

It was blobs and shapes and suggestions of things, expressed in funny ways that were sometimes wildly unexpected, it was just a little novelty, and now we're choking whole industries of creatives with it, the speed of it all unfolding is what gives me whiplash, it was only a couple of years to this.

One of the things I talked about on stream today was how quick everything was with this current AI hellscape, how when it first started appearing it was a weird little novelty, and we had strange and funny images that only kinda looked like things. I never expected it would've escalated so fast then

What the heck, Jacob Tierney should adapt this next

Well, 2025 has been terrible, so should be some good contenders this year! Even headline writers need to laugh so they don’t cry.

girls don't poop but we do shit

doo dah, doo dah

Oh, look there: an editorial-interference canary.

When I saw this listing earlier this week, I thought, "Well, at least one CBS News show still has a spine and is willing to antagonize its owners' political BFFs."

my brother in law and his partner got me this for christmas lmaoooo

*new low, so far

Sometimes it feels like the entire business model for LLMs is built on convincing people that a really tall robot that immediately falls over is in fact the optimal solution to that problem.

Every time I read a study on the performance of "agentic" AI, I think of the experiment where they tried to get an AI to design a robot that can walk, but it never did because it figured out building a really tall robot that immediately falls over is a cheaper way to maximise distance travelled.

"Common sense" exceptions to rules are allowed to exist if they benefit the dominant group and are an existential threat to everything otherwise. The fascist mindset.

To the best of my knowledge, nobody is arguing that mothers taking their young children into the loo with them could or should lead to court cases. I guess that's as good a way to dodge a gaping hole in your own legal arguments about the need for single sex spaces to be tightly policed as any though

Like it's a shit argument to have to make tbh, but it's a coherent one and that the only GC counter is "But nobody is complaining about that so it's fine actually" illustrates that this is about power, not safety.

Wild to me that they’re still even trying to pretend they’re terrorizing trans people to “protect children” when they’re now targeting companies for selling gender-affirming products that don’t permanently change a body at all www.advocate.com/politics/fda...

"GenAI will be here forever" is the same implicit threat as "Microplastics will be here forever"

It is going to be like the atomic tests, which lowkey introduced more unremovable radioactive particles everywhere and now steel from before the tests (mostly found in wrecks at the bottom of the sea) are sought after.

i feel like a lot of influential android artificial intelligence robot stories were written before people rly knew about computers and shit and its actually kind of fun to write about this stuff as a person who does sort of know what is in a computer

Okay real talk, the only sense in which GenAI is "here to stay" is that even after the bubble pops, AI is digital asbestos that is poisoning everything and we'll probably be picking the detritus out of everywhere it's ended up for years, assuming there's a will to remove it en masse that is.

Watching the best of the Rob Reiner filmography over the weekend and started with TIST because of course I did. It's basically a perfect comedy. You already knew this but I think it's worth repeating. It's basically a perfect comedy.

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

I am taking the opportunity to once again remind you of the time Naomi Wolf thought Apple invented time machines run by vaccines

Gender identity clinic waiting lists from shortest to longest.

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

oh my god

I hate being right

The chances that the people a lot of folks won’t make eye contact with at the offramp have a stronger moral compass than the people in power are even money or better

Amazing that Republicans and Democrats are in complete agreement about how much health insurance companies suck ahh yet nobody is willing to discuss some of the very obvious ways to get rid of them, ways that other countries have already tried successfully

God damn storm he’s already dead
