It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

the only kind of society that is going to be livable - and perhaps this is already irretrievably out of reach - is going to be one where consistent rules and some general baseline of truth exist and are agreed upon. if that's a pie in the sky fantasy then so is anything else worthwhile

“In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.” is, and it pains me greatly to say this, a pretty good joke.

cardboard box on a residential lawn:

Can’t find it because the search engines are dogshit now, but I remember some guy‘s ad that said “Totally exonerated. No corruption.” and I might just be painfully Millenial but I feel the absolute floor for political operatives is not setting up a Lionel Hutz joke.

One big problem is that to truly understand what the internet is doing to people, you have to be on it too much to play any useful role in society

Way things are going, your kid’s probably going to attack a lieutenant governor with a railroad spike because a chatGPT Labubu said it loved him, might as well get that bag

Looking forward to an endless future of public figures getting folded by video game nihilists who write STREAM SILKSONG on their body armour and pick their targets based on who’s at the convention center next weekend.

IMHO there’s a pretty wide gap between the state deciding who dies and individual citizens expressing their dissatisfaction. The real argument against political assassination is that there’s an endlessly deep bench of ideologically identical replacements for any given ghoul.

Not only are we pinning it all on unobtanium, we’ve diverted every resource that might conceivably help us discover unobtanium towards fake money to make the wealthy recession-proof and a tech bubble that makes 2000 look like a Laurence Welk song.

There are still those who believe that the wealthy are necessarily smart, and they make the most snake-handling peasant-brained zealots look like stony materialists.

Cirrhosis can interfere with the body’s absorption of nutrients, eventually leading to sarcopenia (mummy dick).

🌎 Good lord, what is happening in there?! 🇮🇱 A just war, morally fought. 🌎 A just war, morally fought? 🌎 With daily bombing of civil infrastructure for over a year? 🌎 With no aid getting in? 🌎 With a vastly superior military that frequently states there are no innocents? 🇮🇱 Yes! 🌎 May I see it? 🇮🇱 No.

“The more powerful party has a greater moral burden” remains an unpopular notion with powerful parties.

Yeah, it all seems to come down to a deep psychological inability to accept that Trump is just a moron and an obvious liar. After all, he's a billionaire who became President of the United States twice! *Surely* there must be something more to it, right? And no, that's all there is, buddy!

Baseball Announcer who just read Conspiracy Against the Human Race: “The claim that an unexamined life is not worth living implies an examined life is worth living—yet the journey of truth leads only to the limits of solitude, burdened with the knowledge that we must die.

Radio edits are such a fascinating puritanical double pretense. Everyone who’s heard the original fills it in, and even the blank draws attention to itself like a plain brown wrapper - [SCANDALOUS LANGUAGE GOES HERE]. But we want to hear fuck songs at the mall.

They’re called laws.

I just talk to myself without the sea-boiling intermediary.

Twenty-odd years of only knowing the name Donald Trump as the rich dumb guy joke that put his brain in Bill the Cat’s body has really heightened the “last random firings of a dying brain” vibe of the last decade.

This is an odd Masonic lodge

Hilariously there was a fake tweet about this like two days ago and a nonzero chance this is happening because Elon saw it and thought it was real.

We're like 3 tweets away from Trump bringing up Elon's botched penis

That sound you hear is several million mental trucks backing up to infill why six months ago their preferred most insightful genius of our time was Winston Wolfing with an idiot fraud. A double throng of voices that think pronouns are 1984, declaring they have always been at war with Eastasia.

Every aspect of our lives is at the mercy of the vilest motherfuckers in history, half of them are deep in the machine god sex cult and the other half know a Doctrine-perfect shock when they see one. Whether it works is beside the point; that it doesn’t just underlines how stupid everything is.

People just say anything on Twitter.

Not to take anything away from a smart, effective interviewer, but: the reason Isaac Chotiner is so feared is because he prepares for the interview and asks follow-up questions, techniques that make him like unto a cat on an island of flightless birds
