There’s something very dissonant about watching ads for Kohl’s on Amazon Prime tv shows.

And now a word from AOC.

“Oh no, I left my lunch at home!” [Did you even pack a lunch?] “I guess I’ll have to eat at Off the Rez!” [That was your plan, dude. That was…] “Alas! How ever shall I endure?” [… you’re enjoying this, aren’t you?] “Tremendously. OH WOE!!!!!”

Democratic Senators: Don't follow illegal orders Republicans: Like WHAT?! Trump: Kill the Senators!!!

If we could figure out a way to block somebody online by angrily hanging up an analogue phone that would be ideal I think

It's fun watching Spotify roll out services that let users make their own remixes as YouTube takes down mash up artists and music educators for unauthorized use of music at the drop of a hat. Funny.

Bill Maher just announced that he won't do stand up anymore for fear or being cancelled by the left AND the right. But he's perfectly happy to go on TV to tell "jokes" like these!

Decades ago, I got into an argument when I tried to help a coworker write a sign. I said it should be "we're closed" not "were closed", but they were adamant because "the computer says it's right!" That's how we got here. The computer says it's right.

iPhone: "You've been listening to music at an awfully high volume. Maybe you should..." Me: "Listen, phone. When the caffeine isn't load bearing, the music is. And I need the music loud. LOUD!!!! Without loud? I get cranky. You don't want cranky. PLAY LOUD!!!"

I understand why some white liberals from the Deep South want to insist that there isn't something distinct (and bad) about Southern political culture but the problem with this is that we wouldn't even have this idea of "The South" as distinct from the rest of the US if there wasn't a there there

incredible! a gorgeously preserved skull from tupandactylus imperator has been described, offering new insights into its dietary ecology and soft tissues 😻 www.scielo.br/j/aabc/a/6Hv... (art by maurilio oliveira)

I’ve commissioned art before. It’s remarkably similar to working with AI except for the whole “paying the artist” part. Where’s my NYTimes article?

Doing a deep dive on an artist into Wikipedia (because Friday night, AWOOO!) and the "critical reception" for their albums includes the info that "Metacritic gave it a collective 75" God bless averages!

WIRED: Sydney Sweeney Answers The Web's Biggest Questions Presumably starting with "And you are.....?" and "So what could I have seen you in?"

if u don't know SWITCHED-ON BACH is insane because the Moog synth is monophonic. meaning every single note of every single chord in every song had to be overdubbed separately. she had to be extremely precise & meticulous to make that album work

“Remind me to add ‘philanthropist’ to my LinkedIn profile” From the new Private Eye, out now.

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

“Hey, fam. It’s your boy, Donny T…”

hear me out, maybe it’s time to stop making men the president for awhile

"But the rules of decorum..." Yeah, no. No. No.

Releasing the Epstein files could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to hide their history of raping children on a private island owned by a convicted sex offender.

Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics? Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

Robyn dropped a new track and none of you fuckers told me?!?!?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=viti...

I wish reporters would start calling them out on their bullshit. "Did Trump do [X]?" "The evidence proves nothing beyond his innocence." "You didn't say no, so... yes. Got it."

Look, Google, if the best you can do with AI is offer up BLINDINGLY INCORRECT information? I dunno, maybe hang it up? I mean, sure, maybe this is the cast of the Korean dub? Sure. But given that I live in Seattle and their algorithm is so powerful and spiffy... I dunno, I guess I expect facts?

I am not very good at drawing. I'm OK, but I've not put a lot of skill points into it, yeah? And I would rather see my crappy stick figure sketch of ANYTHING EVER than see whatever LLMs/"AI" can shit out. My stick figure has intent. AI has nothing inside forever.

Note that she's not blaming the Democrats who doomed us to this outcome yesterday. We already know every Senate Republican is trash. But we're SUPPOSED to be supported by our own D senators. But they screwed us. Murray isn't addressing that. Plank in your own eye, etc.

Remember remember the 10th of November The Edmund no longer did float I see no reason this cold autumn season Should e'er forget that boat

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

The voicemail for both of my senators (both Democrats) are full.

i’m just so fucking tired of living through crisis after crisis and feeling like we have to beg for and negotiate with our own representatives to address the crises seriously. they shouldn’t have to be disciplined by the base into mustering an appropriate response to a fucking coup!

Being in the nfl sucks. You score a touchdown and everybody hits you in the helmet. Shouldn’t they be celebrating?

I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

As soon as I figure out how to be born into generational wealth it’s over for you bitches

Can some bright boy or girl kindly reinvent the newspaper so I don't have to subscribe to every Substack and Patreon to support the creators I enjoy?

Watson was a racist who, "near the end of his life, faced condemnation and professional censure for offensive remarks, including saying Black people are less intelligent than white people"

Being demisexual for me means that 9 times out of 10, sexy images are fine. Theyre gorgeous, they’re beautiful and that’s great but I honestly don’t have that guy “I’d hit that” moment. But then the tenth time happens. And… wow you allosexuals just feel this way? ALL THE TIME?!

The next time Bondi or one of them refuses to answer a question in testimony, the questioner should just say "That's a yes, moving on." And watch them squawk.

Our politicians did more to regulate Prince and Twisted Sister songs than glacier melting chatbots that promote suicide

Artist @switchangel.bsky.social :“Let’s visualize the lead.” Me [synaesthete]: Waaaaay ahead of you there! 😂 Seriously, this is so fucking awesome. youtu.be/GWXCCBsOMSg?...

Hey BlueSky, I already have a mother...

This is as close to porn as I get.

So they’re all gonna leave NYC now, right? Cool. Where do they think they’re going?

Don’t talk to me until I’ve got on my Don’t Talk to Me Until I’ve Had My Coffee shirt.

*sobs* I just wish Dick Cheney had lived long enough to see this...

Can’t wait to see Booker, Jeffries and Schumer explaining how Mamdani’s win is a bad thing. Let the gaslighting commence!

The ballot said that the position is "non-partisan", which isn't true at all! If Harrell loses, I am TOTALLY throwing a party!

They say the mayoral race in Seattle is "non-partisan", but that's not true. If Bruce Harrell loses, I am absolutely partying!
