When you're well on track to winning a culture victory in 10 turns but decide to switch to a dominion victory at the last minute, just to be a dick

Onions are the best vegetable. They're delicious raw, sauteed, pickled, fried, stewed, and caramelized. They improve nearly every savory dish. The GOAT.

People who use generative AI are scabs. No respect for labor. No solidarity. Shun them. Shame them. Block them.

All the books and music in Star Trek is old, pre-WWIII stuff. Probably because after about 2025, pop culture turned into a morass of unintelligible AI sludge.

How did they get a camera into my bedroom

Let's get back to posting!

Asked and answered.

you did not see this kitty pull a glizzy heist good morning

Bojack is really interesting because it was the last point you could portray a mediocre privileged white man bitter over lost opportunities in a globalized society without it being MAGA coded. It’s an artifact of a bygone era and I love it for that.

Some people are getting mad at me but I don't think that's necessary. I think we can skip that part

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Everyone at the party was hyped when I showed up and it felt good but later I found out the bene gesserit had already been here for thousands of years seeding the myth of the “crazy ass white boy “

This isn't what I wanted to be angry at today. I wanted to be angry about how pokemon get better healthcare than I do.

We're in this situation because Nixon didn't go to jail for Watergate and Reagan wasn't punished for Iran Contra. The path of least resistance brought us here.

lol my New Year's resolution was to do less doomscrolling

Also in that stack: A U.S. Constitution with a published ERA My ma’s 1976 ERA necklace Stephen Stills’ “Manassas” vinyl (my hometown) “The Prayer of St. Francis” written by hand Photos of my Italian ancestors, including my grandfather going off to WWII.

Alternate headline: Elon Musk-own AI produces CSAM on demand for X users Grok cannot comment on the matter. Grok is not a person.

If hating AI means I'm up on my high horse, it's only because AI boosters are of low character. Everyone looks high and mighty if your moral standards are in the gutter.

There’s nothing stopping you 💪. This could be the year you 🫵 send me two hundred dollars 💵

New Year resolutions are for people too lazy to berate themselves for their shortcomings all year long

Now Eric Adams is free to walk the Earth in search of spiritual enlightenment and the seven orbs of power

"Pneu year, pneu me." - lungs, probably

I was five when my father told me the meaning of life: "Life is a game. You earn a new point every year. When you die, you lose all your points. Right now we are winning. Every dead person is losing. Never forget this."

Happy New Year. Let's flush this turd.

Fun fact: the Library of Alexandria wasn't burned down. It was defunded.

Society has gone downhill and we need to return to the ancient ways. That's why I propose bringing back hibernation. From January 1st to mid-February, every single person crawls into bed under about 15 blankets and we all take a 6 week nap. The economy will resume after Presidents Day.

I've got a good feeling about this 2026 thing. This one's gonna be a winner. Nothing bad ever happens in even-numbered years.

[Werner Herzog watching the ball drop] Everything dies eventually, even time.

DS9 is basically Dune, but if both Paul Atreides and the Fremen had their shit together

you’re so right, comic from 1925

Y'all aren't ready for this conversation but Vic Fontaine should be in Starfleet Academy, not the EMH

I saw LeVar Burton at a con. He was chatting with Lou Ferrigno. I thought briefly about introducing myself, but then I was struck with a crippling fear of disappointing Mr. Burton and I ran away.

They gave that Pop Tart the ass of a Pixar mom. On purpose. That's part of the costume. Troubling lore implications.

Sauron's security was defeated by two hobbits, who entered undetected through an unlocked backdoor, armed only with two swords and a flashlight

[1998, DS9 writers' room] Peter Fields: ... then Garak and Sisko assassinate a Romulan ambassador and frame the Dominion Michael Taylor: What would we call such a story? PF: Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night? Ron Moore: Can't. We used that title two episodes ago when Gul Dukat fucked Kira's mom

Uncritical support for Payakan the war whale. May his reign of terror never end.

20th Century: We're going to give you a blank check to do whatever you want James Cameron: of course 20th: But out of curiosity what are you planning? JC: Imagine Moby Dick, but the whale is angrier and has an army. But Ahab has a shit ton of guns! And then a hero marine biologist saves the day

I used zombie fat to give myself a dump truck ass and now I'm into Warhammer and model trains.

Here's an interesting article re: the Avatar cultural impact debate, with this particularly trenchant line: "Unlike multiple actors associated with Star Wars and Marvel, no one on the Avatar cast is receiving death threats." movieweb.com/avatar-movie...

The Bobiverse book series covers a lot of the problems with Dyson spheres, namely that the only way to get the necessary building materials would be to strip mine your solar system for every ounce of metal and then do the same for every solar system within 50 light-years
