Every year, someone makes us a free commercial for Santa's Husband 🎅🏿💕🎅🏻 and this year it's State Rep. Brenden Jones, you love to see it. Quick check — and yeah, the Amazon rankings are up. Shocking. www.foxnews.com/video/638630...

Episode 531: Floor to Ceiling Unsellable Funko Pops www.podbean.com/ew/pb-89jha-...

Reminder that Adolph Hitler, the Ayatollah Khamenei and Vlad Putin were all Time's People of the Year, so you can decide for yourself on which side of the split this grouping fits

Dear Australia, These are delicious. Thank you. Love, Emily PS. Thank you to @agreencow.bsky.social for sending them.

every new ai thing is just advertising products to people who hate real human interactions or anything made by someone who’s alive

OBVIOUSLY do not use AI, at all. AT ALL, for anything. I don’t wanna hear about the theoretical good version, it’s not what they’re pushing on us. The absolute worst people in the world have gone all in on this shit, and it needs to be starved out as much as possible. AI: not even once!

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial." "Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

Looked up what Rob Thomas has been up to - he's been a naughty boy

The trials in 2030: "The disease commonly known as Silent Mouthdeath that killed 14 million Americans in the winter of 2026 is being taxonomically reclassified as Poliovid. Secretary Kennedy was first made aware of Poliovid at the ribbon cutting ceremony for Arby's Beef Tallow Onion Rings in 2025."

The way this woman has wholly dedicated to her life to saying shit like "When you call me Eve Fartlow and make wet fart noises with your mouth whenever I talk, you are doing a Kristalnacht to me" is wild

the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything

A good point people are bringing up — if they need to pretend that making this commercial was hard work to avoid getting yelled at, they are also undercutting the propaganda that A.I. will give you a ton more free time. Which fake story are you sticking to. bsky.app/profile/cult...

The Golden Globes announced their nominations this morning, narrowing down the list of people from which they expect bribes.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

any time you're told to use AI at work, turn your work in about half as fast and pepper it with obvious mistakes. if nobody cares, you have less to do, and if they do, you can tell them you'll never use AI at work again

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

it rules to pivot at this point in time from metaverse to ai wearables. it's like if your 8-track tape company finally realized no one was going to want them in the age of the CD, so you changed the business model to only recording nursery rhymes on wax cylinder.

Finally modern audiences will get to experience what Star Wars was like before they got an Englishman to dub over Alec Guinness’s New Jersey accent

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

I am very basic

‘It was about degrading someone completely’: the story of Mr DeepFakes – the world’s most notorious AI porn site www.theguardian.com/society/ng-i...

But the memes are somehow still worth it right gang

I remembered the ep. where they put a fake horn on a dog and called it an alien. Or the one where George Takei took his shirt off and tried to sword-fight everyone. Or the one where they were infested by sentient hairballs, or the one about Holodeck addiction. I'll watch the show before judging it.

Pantone proudly announced their Color of the Year: Dingy Apartment Walls

I'm 100% in favor of paywalls you gotta pay for your news you gotta pay the workers but I think some stories should not be paywalled and I feel like things like food recalls or imminent nuclear strikes absolutely should be free

Poster makes it look like a One Tree Hill spinoff that a Klingon wandered into.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

Will continue to bang this drum: this is the system university admins are cramming into every aspect of education. This is the system we are told “isn’t going anywhere” so we all have to adjust to it.

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here. Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women. I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.

I am mostly much happier since moving over to the UK, but the rain is starting to wear on me. But at least I don’t have to worry about flooding at house.

we did it!

HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Starting in 1994, James Cameron's movies became so huge and expensive that every single time he started a new one, the press wrote pieces speculating on whether they would end his career if they bombed. They were all massive international hits that redefined visual effects.

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

The premise of his show was, "I'm a gross dirtbag. But since I'm being honest about that, you can trust me." But he was never being honest about what a dirtbag he was; he was manipulating you into thinking he was less of a dirtbag.

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Everyone who orders from our bookstore gets a free whistle. Everybody! Even if all you order is a $2 used paperback, you get a whistle. It's the perfect accessory for the winter months. You know—because of all the ice.

That’s the premise of her joke! There is no “and…”! This fucking site, I swear to god

the Michelin man is kinda like a Greek god in the sense that he presides over tires and which restaurants are good

Lots of Lego to build!
