there’s something incredibly grating about this college freshman forever horseshit. things that matter? to whom?

GAMMA WORLD

this is actually a core tenet of many (most?) protestant evangelical sects and is a major reason they suck. turns out faith without works is fertile ground for scammers and authoritarians

Happy Monday

Been rewatching Golden Boy this weekend. This is an underappreciated bit.

guess the book

turning into the skid in 2026

when someone seems to suddenly and inexplicably jump on the maga train, you will almost never be wrong in assuming it’s about money

People who complain about Disney overstuffing the Star Wars market with crap should familiarise themselves with just how many Star Wars themed video games were released from c.1998 to c.2008

Fallout (1997)

look at what they did to a once proud institution

the time has come

Imagine telling an actual congressmember who has won actual real elections "skill issue" when you are a hobby data bro who publishes meh polls for a sustack now and then

neighborhood associations, co-op boards, and HOAs all exist if you really want or need the experience of having annoying busybodies up in your shit all the time while living in the big city

"village" mentality is what sustains conservatism. not being able to do anything without the Grandma Gestapo reporting your every move. depending on the easily withdrawn kindness of others instead of impersonal but reliable services. and of course obeying aristocratic landowners

Yglesias, the Bruenigs, Friedersdorf, Noah Smith, Yascha Mounk, all cut from the same extremely irritating cloth. We need a better class of public intellectual.

CBS News replaces the venerable 60 Minutes with a new program called “Mind Dojo,“ moderated by Bari Weiss.

The Donald Trump and The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too

I like when reporters are like "what are you gonna do when we ask you some dumb bullshit question hmmm?" Very savvy

LET'S GO O'S - I KNOW - LET'S GO O'S - I SAID I KNOW - LET'S GO O'S - AVERT YOUR EYES - LET'S GO O'S - I SAID DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE EYES - LET'S GO O'S - PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T LOOK - LET'S GO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'S

what the shit is this weather

The Donald Trump and The Ohio State University

I mean this is what happens when you have: -a new admin explicitly promising lower prices and that doesn't happen - The market leading industry promising tech that will replace your job will come soon - the admin creating uncertainty at every turn and then telling you everything is actually fine

a lot of the problems with LLMs have to do with the way they interact with more traditional issues, the limits of autodidactism being one of them

all the more reason to abolish this organization, shitcan everyone and prosecute every single person who violated the law. let's see what juries of their peers think about "operators" with knives and winning attitudes

I remember when papapishu or whoever that guy is was sepiroth posting about how HOGG IS THE COMPROMISE. oh well back to video game shit

and finally "the left lacks an imagination for progress.....we need to embrace dynamism in this country." of this, i find the most radically hollow. its not about science or technology, but the power of positive thinking. its little different from hippie bullshit and woo, but in a buckley bow tie

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

just to do a little armchair psychology, this is another internet leftist that grew up in red state bumblefuck and got an elite education at at east coast private school in case you’re wondering why they’re this way. it’s a type.

I gotta say I find a lot of the edgy anti-lib posting these days to be more banal and hackneyed than anything else. This isn't 2012, guys.

just choosing not to engage with mcmansionhell’s dumb shit this afternoon

this guy was a CEO at one point, correct?

did “weeb” finally make merriam-webster or something?

honestly who gives a fuck

So, not a bonus. Robbing Peter to pay Paul, who are in this case the same person

most of these are perfectly cromulent except michelob, which tastes bad and yueng, which is pennsylvania chud beer

only showing stills while the hosts tell us how good the speech was, that's how you know it was great.

it absolutely could still happen but now I wonder if floating war with venezuela last night was just another trump insider polymarket grift

fox news tomorrow

another genius susie wiles joint. masterful.

politico, hire me
