I love working at the Department of Justice and participating in a conspiracy to cover up the demented 80 year old president's sex crimes. I spend 18 hours a day redacting documents and there's a putrid husk where my soul used to be

Remember when I said Weiss was stupid and incompetent? Stuff like this. An actual television producer would understand this stuff - if not the exact schedule and procedures for how the episode was distributed, at least who they could ask who would know.

The second segment on the Ship of Theseus episode of Imaginary Advice is one of the scariest horror stories I've heard in a long time m.soundcloud.com/ross-sutherl...

Can't say I love that the list keeps getting longer of people with tremendous power whose job I (some asshole) could do better than them

the thing about bari weiss is that she is so inept that she literally couldn't even get fired correctly, and everyone who respects her has a hamster wheel where a human brain goes

really enjoying how much King Sorrow is a love letter by Joe Hill to his father.

When I encountered the tech that would go on to change the world, I was so excited. It was instantly clear to me how powerful it was. Wifi seemed genuinely like magic the first time I saw it. It blew my mind.

The funniest column that people keep writing is some variation of "I Went On Vacation To This Place And It Is Inherently More Relaxing And Fun Then The Place Where I Have To Pay Bills And Work A Job"

Beautiful

More like The Chronicles of Ridiculous. This would never happen.

I extremely judge every single person who is still using twitter. "oh but I have so many followers on Stormfront, I can't just walk away" get fucked.

lot of people seem convinced that "actually Bari Weiss is doing exactly what they want" and I'm sorry but you're just wrong on that. she was supposed to quietly shift CBS to be rightwing. instead she Streisand Effected a story they wanted to kill because she is incredibly stupid.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Incompetent courtiers being put in charge of key technical positions and then totally botching them was a recurring feature and major weakness of historical absolute monarchies and authoritarian regimes. Anyway, Bari Weiss,

"but you're not ready for that conversation" baby, I'm not ready for any conversation. Don't talk to me

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

playing the Indiana Jones game. Love that as long as you're wearing a priest outfit, none of the Mussolini thugs seem to think it's at all weird that you're using a bullwhip to climb walls and then entering buildings through windows. Maybe that's normal Vatican stuff

the key to collaboration, whether with an artist or another writer, is the moment of surprise when they bring something you were not thinking at all. collaboration is all about the ideas you never would have had on your own. and AI is incapable of surprise. it can only give you the bland average

*sarcastically* My liege

I don’t know how anyone can still talk about “the AI revolution” with a straight face. Reuters story about a railroad company that has sunk $300,000 into “developing AI products” and appears to have made…a chatbot that doesn’t work? archive.is/2025.12.17-0...

Rick Steves continues to just be the best dude on every level.

Happy birthday, Space Force!

Ok, I see why we always lose

Mulder, tossing a file on a desk: Scully, what do you know about big naturals?

How can those dumbasses be so corrupt that they’re messing up implicating Bill fucking Clinton

Here in Delaware we have a statue of Thomas Garrett, a white man found guilty of obstructing the recapture of fugitives from slavery – ordered to pay damages to the point of ruin for it. We don't, to my knowledge, have any statues celebrating the judges or jury members who found him guilty.

Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

Curious if a single government worker who had to spend this week scribbling out Trump's name will have the courage and patriotism to whistleblow about it. Probably not, lot of cowards and traitors at the FBI, but would be happy to be surprised

They like him and want to help him

Wow, it doesn't say the name Trump anywhere in the unredacted parts. That's good enough for me, and I consider this "case closed"

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

man if only we could get back to the Good FBI as it existed before Trump.

i mean it's fine. the legislation specifically said they couldn't do that but what is congress going to do

I have a feeling covering up every scrap of information about the pedophile who the president's base is worried pulled off a massive conspiracy will be the end of the matter

International lottery where the winner gets to change "is" to "was" on his Wikipedia page

They should sell tickets to get to help rip his name off of stuff. Fundraise for a good cause. Do some national healing by destroying everything he ever did, spitting on it, salting the earth, etc. Fun day out with neighbors and friends

Perfect scenes in movies that I otherwise strongly recommend that you do not watch, part 1. youtu.be/o47gi3-l-3U?...

I don't think this is a fair reading of the situation, in which every major media source was frantically running "Actually, the economy is bad" and "Recession tomorrow?????" articles on a nearly daily basis

AND? I mean I appreciate this info but it’s a daily occurrence and I’m not seeing a plan from people (like you) with a lot of actual institutional power. (Unlike us.)

I have finished Silent Hill f, which I liked. It did a lot of interesting stuff, the combat was...fine, and the mystery of "ok we are clearly inside of this person's head so what is actually going on here?" is intriguing

I have been around the tv industry long enough to learn a few helpful tips. My first and main tip is that no one in history has ever successfully made a tv show.

my biggest conspiracy theory is that Obama has simply not listened to most of the songs on his best music lists, that shit is put together for him by a team of savvy youths and he maybe scans the lyrics for anything that might get him in trouble

ah shit, I was a huge fan of his work *checks notes* groping women at conventions and then suing them when they speak up about it, so this is a huge blow

Just dropping street view pins around the country looking for interesting places to go in the new Alice Isn't Dead, and I found this RV Park, in which half of the street view of it was done in 2023 and half in 2025. things are a bit different between the two maps.app.goo.gl/f7vZGB1M47VA...

Trump has called for at least three of these senators to be thrown in prison. And they’re still voting for his agenda.

the conclusion I must draw from this is a number of the decision makers high up at the NY Times have their own Epstein pictures waiting in the wings and so want to act like it's not a big deal
