Is it a good sign when you're talking with Claude about life plans and you feed it new information and it replies "Oh, shit"

Bodied by my eldest , frankly

It is 2025 and I regret to inform you that this device is still in use at my grandfather-in-law’s house

omg they made Jeffrey Epstein Inbox Simulator '25 jmail.world

Props to Rep. Nydia Velazquez. This is exactly the right approach from a longtime member of Congress in their 70s. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/n...

This is more or less why I expect a nasty wave of organizational natural selection based on who *actually* has at least workable epistemic processes to screen out insane bullshit, and who will get eaten alive by their own delusions. It probably leads to better organizations in the medium run!

Maybe I’m naive but I did not expect the selectively data-driven NIMBY heel turn

A friend says the Epstein stuff will come to nothing, Trump will avoid consequences like he always does. Which might be true, but I'm just enjoying the idea of him stressing out about it and getting that much closer to another stroke

Fuck em up Mr. Comptroller

“When it comes to violence, we are ambivalent about sense-making. On the one hand, we yearn for answers. But on the other, we are devoted to ignorance and entranced by the logic of sacrifice, in which certain especially tragic deaths, in their senselessness, promise redemption.”

the New York Times is utterly finished as an organization in my opinion. we have moved beyond the need for the New York Times

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

We need someone like Jeremy Crawford to call out Elon for not knowing anything about D&D, so we can all enjoy him replying to old D&D tweets with "best subrace ever" and "you get the most alpha from the Four Elements monk"

second verse on this is one of the funniest things i've ever heard

Abolish the Senate. I am absolutely dead serious.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

aw

One minor take-away from the NYC mayor's race for those concerned with AI/synthetic media and its effects on politics and elections might be that, in this particular instance, the guy who made a malicious deepfake lost and the guy who made authentic videos won.

Pokémon Go right past the genocide

The 2028 Dem downballot field is going to be populated by 30-something DSA members and 40-something "accountants" with thousand yard stares whose opponents' search history and private communications keep mysteriously getting leaked online.

The day after happy news is a great time to pick up some followers, everybody's looking at everyone else and thinking "eh, maybe he won't annoy me later" (I totally will)

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s so normal and so many people are so weird about him. And it becomes really hard to miss the fact it’s mostly because he’s Muslim

It would be a small thing. But a world in which billionaires got off of social media, with all its sycophancy and brain-poisoning, and were forced to launder their influence through other people and organizations, would probably be a step in the right direction. Anyway, eat shit Bill Ackman

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

i don’t like him, but, man, turning down $10M in favor of haterdom is an all-time, world-class, heavyweight champion hater move

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

If you really wanted to defeat Mamdani, don't run a guy who resigned in disgrace then lost his own party's primary. This isn't hard, folks.

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

If NYC had ranked choice voting for the general I honestly don't know who I'd vote in second

You heard me

Yes the more evil you make an LLM the less useful it is because evil and incompetence share overlapping latent spaces.

BREAKING: Both Satmar factions decide not to endorse a candidate for mayor and decry the vicious campaign against Mamdani that paints him as hostile to Jews. In letters to their community members, the Satmar leadership calls the attacks against Mamdani false and dangerous.

“… dooming is itself a liberation from the burden of choice. If everything is ruined forever, if your allies have already forsaken you, if the battle is already lost, you aren't responsible for your choices. They can't affect the outcome. You're free.“

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

A play in three acts

Bluesky is real life. @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

NEW: Seth Moulton becomes the first candidate in a Democratic primary for Senate to officially announce that he will return and henceforth reject donations from AIPAC

I actually think "radlib" is a pretty good term for myself, and I feel like appropriating it. Like I've referred to myself sarcastically as a "neolib" but that's *actually inaccurate*; I think "radlib" 100% describes my views. I am radically in favor of freedom

This is awesome.

Paying a pregnant robot to deliver my food costs so much these days

so theres a possibility the attorney general has seen evidence the president raped children and now the entire republican party is helping to cover it up?

FINALLY some good fuckin science www.cell.com/action/showP...

it's weird that a clown car full of freaks like stephen miller and jd vance feeding the populace a strict diet of state violence, austerity, and cringe are not getting more popular. bread and circus but there's no bread and the circus is one sclerotic monkey vomiting on his balls
