Some of the same people who obsessively quoted Office Space back in high school are now writing LinkedIn posts about seamlessly integrating AI processes to optimize shareholder deliverables, and I'm wondering where we got lost as a society.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

While communities in Minneapolis & across the country mourn the death of Renee Nicole Good, who was executed by ICE, ICE has revealed that 4 people died in its custody in the first 10 days of the New Year: Parady La, Luis Beltran Yanez–Cruz, Geraldo Lunas Campos, and Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres.

The “Iran is full of Gryffindors” thing is semantically identical to Justin Bieber saying Anne Frank would have been a Belieber

"Move fast and break things," say the people who, in an uncanny coincidence, are responsible for breaking the entire planet at a terrifying speed.

Slightly diminish a band: Led Dirigible

If you're a young person you have no idea how long we've all been listening to Small Government and Liberty stuff from the right. Nobody at all believed any of it lol

Renee Good should still be here. She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth. She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

“Science fiction teaches us to recognize the warning signs.”

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Okay I found the most depressing post

it’s a normal story for normal people

As the article points out, the entire supposed point of REAL ID was that it would prove you were who you said you were, and that you were a citizen or legal immigrant. It's invasive, requires A LOT of documentation & admin burden on both people & states, and is apparently... worthless to DHS.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Democrat leaders on this platform want you to believe they are the party of resistance while supporting genocide, rubber stamping Trump's nominees, folding on trans rights, using far-right rhetoric about migrants, working with mass surveillance companies, getting mad they weren't in on a coup.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

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.

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Happy New Year to the haters, the losers, and the far left marxist transgender extremists, which I think covers everyone here.

You absolutely have the right to not tip. Tips are by their nature optional. Just know that if you choose not to tip, everyone will hate you because you’re a jerk.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

When the polite, cultured Dr. Pepper consumes a special draught, he turns into the brutish, monstrous Mr. Pibb.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, said “Just a moment, I’ve almost finished If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino.”

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

This is Artie. He likes wool things. He likes to keep his toys in the dining room. Last night he found a box of dog sweaters in the basement & brought them up 1 by 1 to put under the Xmas tree in the dining room. Why? Who knows how Artie's mind works.

The new travel ban issued by President Trump halts people with Palestinian Authority-issued passports from entering the United States. Immigration law expert Samah Sisay (of @ccrjustice.org) says the new restrictions are about politics, not security.

the good that you do persists in this world

Keep Christ in “Christ, things are bleak”

The truth is rationed and obscured while the women who survived these horrors are dragged back through them yet again. Predators remain protected. Evidence is hoarded, withheld, erased. The truth is being smothered in real time & witnessing it is fucking horrific. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Ah, the world! Oh, the world!

Share an actor who nailed a role so hard that nobody else will ever be able to live up to it.

I didn't have to take a law school class taught by @courtneymilan.com in order to recognize how insanely exploitative this contract is, but it sure helped!

Hanukkah begins tonight as we remember the world needs more light. In Sydney, families gathered on a beach to celebrate the start of Hanukkah. They were met with gunfire. At least twelve are dead, twenty-nine wounded—terror aimed at joy itself.

The cliche that ‘having an idea’ is the hard part of writing is persistent and pernicious. Realising the idea is the craft of it. That FAQ of…

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.
