Satya, rename the company to Copilot. I believe that you have the courage.

Reminder: No one here OWES you any attention. If you think they do, seek psychological help. The controls are why many of us stay here, weak as they are, they are probably as good as we can get from a for-profit site. And if any of you replies with "metaverse" crap to me so help me...

i should call her…

Someone please encourage the president to go on a diplomatic tour of Latin America.

THIS IS NOT UNPRECEDENTED THIS IS WHAT WE DO UNTIL WE MAKE THESE HEINOUS ACTS ILLEGAL AND BRING THOSE WHO ORDER AND PERFORM THEM TO JUSTICE THIS IS ON ALL AMERICANS. UNTIL THEN WE ARE ALL COMPLICIT AND DESERVE WHATEVER INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC CONSEQUENCES TO COME BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT

Sure can't fully endorse Ice Cube any more these days but he has made some solid points in the past

Every other country in the world has a chance to do the funniest thing right now

I'm deeply sorry to the people of Venezuela. There is no opposition party in the United States to counter the fascist regime's actions and the population is easily demagogued.

Just a little bit of side questing between start and finish...

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

I may actually finish a playthrough of BG3 in 2026. I have all three Netherstones for the first time. Take that, ADHD! *PLEASE APPLAUD*

chicago sorry sorry im trying to delete it

My 2026 Hot Take is: You really don't need to post ANYTHING from the Hell site. We all know it's a collective dumpster fire the size of the Amazon rainforests. We don't need any more evidence to that effect.

Hey @nedpyle.com

TEETH TEETH TEETH

This is why they want us talking about day care scams.

Untold harm is being done by the willful destruction of safety nets in blatant disrespect of social contracts. Those responsible will be destroyed for breaking said social contracts. Lions at the gates, MFers. We will rebuild more resilient institutions, mindful of human dignity for all who abide.

This Bears defense is infuriating.

I'm done with outrage posts. Gonna be following a lot less people

Dude! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Star Trek used to be good damn it

I know the knee jerk impulse is to assume the men who use these apps will ignore real women but they won’t. These apps literally condition men to see women as objects, without agency, and that paired with the “male loneliness epidemic” is a ticking fucking time-bomb.

it’s probably because the murder rate is historically low, right guys

A distant old man relative referred to STL's The Hill as Dago Hill at Christmas yesterday (disgusting), which led me down a deep well of history. Specifically, it led me to THE SOCIAL EVILS HOSPITAL (you cannot make this stuff up) where Josephine Baker was born. stlouispatina.com/the-former-s...

As expected, Wake Up, Dead Man is a completely different movie on second viewing

Glory to you and your house, all who celebrate

H-Bomb: it's 7:45. We should get up and open presents. Me: Breakfast? H-Bomb: The kids will be up. Narrator: The kids are still not up.

The post office is a Constitutionally required service, not a business. Profitability should no more be expected than from any govt department. Less so, since govt depts aren't Consitutionally required.

Five perfect films in no particular order: Amile All That Jazz Dr. Strangelove Poltergeist Mad Max: Fury Road

hello milwaukee and chicago

This is a must-read review. It's perfect.

Ok this is obviously adult me who this movie wasn't created for. Home Alone was obviously created before screenwriters realized you MUST include adult humor ever few minutes in a kids movie.

Seriously. How did John Hughes not realize the best comedy in this movie is Candy and Ohara chatting in the back of a moving truck?!

JOHN CANDY IS BACK! MORE OF THIS!

YOU CAN'T INTRODUCE THE TREE HOUSE IN THE THIRD ACT! IT'S THE GUN. YOU HAVE TO SHOW THE GUN IN THE FIRST ACT SO IT CAN GO OFF IN THE THIRD.

Maybe I am dead inside. Probably. Most likely. But dear gods the scene in the church was the only think that was remotely humanly interesting. This has become an attempt at live action Wiley Coyote. Meh.

Ok. We're obviously getting to the hacking back part, which is gonna be all of the slapstick i have seen in all the clips over all the years. But first, WE'RE GONNA NEED A MONTAGE!

Ok, of course the creepy old neighbor is the only intelligent, well thought out character in this whole damned movie

MORE JOHN CANDY! AND A POLKA BAND IN A CARGO TRUCK. MORE OF THIS. I WANT A MOVIE THAT IS JUST CATHERINE OHARA AND JOHN CANDY IN A CARGO TRUCK WITH POLKA

JESUS FUCK NONE OF YOU SAID JOHN CANDY WAS IN THIS. FUCKING POLKA KING OF THE MIDWEST! OK I'M BACK IN
