Jennifer Welch is a light in a very dark world right now.

"Their blatant stupidity is why they’re so popular. It’s the uncomfortable truth underpinning pretty much everything that’s happened in pop culture — including politics — since the 2010s social media revolution."

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog. www.cbsnews.com/video/some-n...

Asking everyone with over 10k followers to make an official statement about a random current event

Had to log into Instagram today. Figured I might peruse the timeline there for a bit, but stopped after every single ad was for boner pills that I’m convinced are just placebos for 60 year old dudes who are nostalgic about taking shitty doped up ecstasy in a club bathroom.

there is no energy drink or coffee option that can match the power of waking up to the sound of a dog dry heaving

This is bullshit. The LLM happily spit out words that are used in papers and publications that have previously announced the design and synthesisation of viruses, but it did nothing of the sort. We don't even know if this virus is viable.

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

This is gonna be an expensive costume.

I think Paul, of blessed posting memory, is entirely right here, and I say this *even though* the young people I know remain highly literate and engaged, because I think his sample is way more representative than mine. musgrave.substack.com/p/a-post-lit...

"This website is free" No. This website comes at a terrible cost

talking about the environmental impact of inhalers on the world carbon budget when disposable vapes exist is like talking about the financial impact of black beans on my personal budget when nerds gummy clusters exist

always remember who was there for you at your lowest. thank you cigarettes

yeah, "Why didn't people do something" is specifically referring to this picture.

Bluesky loves links*

You don't understand the difference between government, movement, and regime.

The Saudis did October 7th? Quite an accusation here Debra Messing. Pretty unbelievable a 9 year old Mamdani would also celebrate 9/11. Or you just mean brown people are bad, in that case it's still quite an accusation and you're a shitbag racist.

This should be getting as much attention as Jimmy Kimmel

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time

Memorizing this

what the hell guys. www.hud.gov#openModal

Pretty scathing, when it comes down to it. Just wish it mattered.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the pedo guy

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

So close...

Love that we're re-implementing the Imperial Boomerang Thesis, but with gusto this time.

LOL

Growing up they used to advertise the rapture for like a year on the radio, but now it’s just “Rapture on Tuesday”. At least give me time to get to the liquor store first. Fuck.

Please stop using OpenTorment!!! It's only open-core! TormentLibre is the fully FOSS alternative!

[Youth pastor voice]: Let me tell you about someone else who vanished for several days, only to return on the day of the Rapture

Lots of people are asking for the source linking acetaminophen to Autism, and I'd link it here but Bluesky doesn't like me posing pictures of literal defecating assholes on the timeline.

I thought they were opposed to gender neutral public bathrooms.

"A similar attack on Google’s Gemini didn’t even need an attachment, just an email with hidden directives." Uhhhhh.

"It just doesn't doesn't really solve the real problems, and it has a lot of collateral damage." Improving safety or overreaching? Salt Lake City's after-hours alcohol proposal sparks petition from several businesses who say they feel unfairly targeted: www.ksl.com/article/5137...

I have never in my life covered an FCC official that gives less of a fuck about the public interest even first term FCC boss Ajit Pai, who was a complete revolving door hack, believed this sort of censorship crossed a line

Literally all they do is ask me for money. There are no spaghetti dinners or movie nights, it's all "give me money" in a format that is indistinguishable from a gift card scam. It makes me hate them, and that's real bad for them long term.

Here's our new episode about the dangers of remembering things too much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEdd...

Went on PBS NewsHour last night to talk about Gen Z accelerationist violence

Uh, they've lost John Yoo. And it will be of no consequence.

They refused to print Fliers!?! At least it wasn't a cake.

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

I have a hard time understanding the world when BILL FUCKING KRISTOL is a voice of reason.

The FBI is reportedly looking into at least seven social media accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk's assassination. One post referenced the date of Kirk's murder-Sept. 10. All the posts were deleted after Kirk's murder. freebeacon.com/politics/exc...

How does Utah Gov. Cox know Charlie Kirk's alleged killer was "deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology"? When pressed for evidence, his answer was four words: "Just not a fan." Analysis👇 www.utahpoliticalwatch.news/citation-nee...

"The company implemented similar suspensions during the 2009 financial crisis and 2020 COVID pandemic" I'm sure this is fine.

Yeah man they ain’t coming back. This is going to be one of the biggest foreign policy blunders of my lifetime, and it’s entirely possible that some guy at ICE ordered it not having any clue what he was doing. This is why we used to leave foreign affairs to sensitive nerds.
