Today I wrote in a client note: "It's why humans have Carnegie libraries, the Guggenheim Museum, and Stanford University, but not a Leonardo da Vinci prize for best laddered bond porfoilo for an annuity

silver lining of three-cueing is that now I can victorian-maxx and throw "illterates" around as a slur

God, tired of working in mysterious ways:

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

DarkTide's music

Seriously I nearly dropped out of my social sciences degree because the writing - that students are meant to emulate instead of laugh at - looks like this:

2025 actually did suck. i know we've all said this about a lot of previous years but this one was quite bad actually

They’re also such bastards because turning this off now turns off the feature that auto sorts your emails into promotions, socials etc, and turns off the spelling and grammar checker. The powers that be are really trying to make us reliant on this AI crap.

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

at last things are finally going to get Worse

Having to talk about AI as if it’s a serious concern and not a money laundering scheme is taking years off my life

It's very visible in media but people are being fired at a high rate in basically every industry as far as I can tell and seniority has no impact on this process. I can't help but remember all those think pieces about how millennials need to 'have careers' and 'show some loyalty' to their employers.

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

ACAB includes HR

Counterpoint: this is not why HR is held in such contempt

what if there were repercussions for being super wrong, like what if we ostracized the nft people or the knockout game people when it became clear they were stupid and wrong

walking out into the woods behind my house and screaming THERAPY BUT NOTHING SERIOUS at the owls and bugs until I pass out

The peasants, the Rural Folk, they are a savage and backwards people. They oppose free trade and education for women. They are bigoted and superstitious. They must be destroyed through civilization and they must be civilized through compulsory education, industrialization, and urbanization.

Also as an addition; sign this petition ASAP if you're someone in the UK. Rather than just sitting around and doing fuck all, we need to make it clear that this Bullshit OSA won't work. Ever. Nor do folk fucking want it. Contact your MPs about the bill too. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

I ain't reading all that Free Palestine

86 fucking years old.

Honestly anyone yeeting themselves out of a building because they believed an LLM bot would be doing humanity a favour.

Twitter right now

It's not quite as bad as it was a year ago, but I'd still like to see one of these a week. Can only imagine what the Americans must be feeling.

THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (2019) Dir. J. J. Abrams

@evilcleverdog.bsky.social re: recent news, it's odd that the phrase "the Brits are at it again" holds a lot of sway with me despite being one. Like, I'm the son of an Army officer whose unit was apparently grabbing IRA dudes for a nice chat in the 80s and I wanted this to happen:

These inhuman fascist oligarch vermin need to be targeted by every nation as enemies & criminals — seize their assets taken, & imprison them + interrogate them forcibly to give up every bit of info a/b Republicans, Putin, etc. Issue rewards to anyone who hands them over, no questions asked!

If you're the least bit interested in seeing the new wizard school thing I'd urge you to instead try a new adventure I just thought of, namely tracking down Joanne's yacht and filling it with enough sand that it still floats but any extra weight makes it take on water and sink.

with 4chan dying, there will probably be an exodus of users onto other platforms. a bunch will likely end up on this app. it's important that you all remember to bully the shit out of them when they do show up!

I want a candidate in 2028 to create a vague impression that they will do Obama style looking forward not back admin, and then once in power put these people in jail and possibly give them the death penalty.

The skeleton key to understanding reactionary conservatism is quite simple: they are scared, all the time, of everything.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

Everything about the shape of society since the tech boom tells me that ostracizing nerds was some kind of learned evolutionary survival mechanism & once the iPhone was invented that tipped the scales beyond salvation in terms of how far man had strayed from nature’s embrace

If the President of the United States was shot in the head on live television right now, with the unmistakable horror of the violence spelled out on billions of screens to ultimately be replayed trillions of times like a four-dimensional object of carnage, the Dow would gain 900 points in an hour.

Ted Faro is not supposed to be an aspirational figure

in the runup to the Ukraine war, US conservatives were jacking themselves off to footage of Russian VDV guys doing hand to hand combat. Then 90% of those guys were wiped out in the first day of the war because it turns out hand to hand combat isn't very important if they shoot your helicopter down

Just realised that "Gene Hackman" is the exact name that Hideo Kojima would give a biochemist

Man, you can really hear that hard-R in "DEI" when he says it, huh?
