Bunch of women awkwardly listening to the Health Secretary express concern about completely made-up statistics of the precious bodily fluids of teenage boys while the president dozes in the background is so Kubrick-ishly emblematic, I know these moments are common as dirt but it's still fun to gawk.

The two things you can do: 1. Recenter your joys around the living world around you. 2. Treasure the parts of the internet where you are still making meaningful connections, and lean into making those connections meaningful - like telling the artists posting stuff you like that their shit is badass

so much of the internet is now a dead mall filled with gremlins parroting human speech. a simulacrum for no one

Looking at the 4Pillars ttrpg slop site to try to figure out what they think the 4th pillar of roleplaying is.

I’m a huge Shirow fan & put him with Gibson for beautifully & brutally examining near-futurism & transhumanism & what humans might become in all their messy gorgeous glory but Shirow’s sort of weird in that he was all “yeah that deep thinking is interesting and all but now I’m just gonna draw porn”

The “UFOs are Demons” people are amusingly common (I think accepting the premise of alien life really fucks with one’s godcentrism) but I do wonder how they function with that level of unanalyzed causal thinking and then you meet one and you’re like “Oh, nvm, they don’t actually function/think.”

if the strained FAA leads to just a few more crashes tanking confidence in air travel he will be the most eco friendly president of all time

Happy Mother's Day

A wonderful sentence from this story, describing the video of the man who threw a rock at a seal for no reason getting beat up by a local: "Meanwhile, an unidentified gentleman begins wailing on him."

I mustache you a question 🥸

EVEN MORE DUDES.

72% of Americans support trans-inclusive sex ed according to our new polling conducted by YouGov! If you support it too, fill out the form here: buff.ly/J16bBTF We’ll put you in contact with your school board and tell them sex ed gives every student a chance at a better life.

The extremely rare catcopus.

man thanks so much for the recc ❤️

35% of the S&P 500 is tied up in seven AI companies, who are engaged in the obviously fraudulent (and Worldcom-adjacent) practice of passing the same $100b IOU around really quickly and pretending it's in all their bank accounts at once:

"From Worldcom to Enron, from crypto to AI, the point of the bubble wasn't ever the residue or lack thereof – it was a transfer from working people to crooks. Bubbles are a system for moving the painfully sequestered life's savings of people who do things to people who steal things."

i’ve started speculating on oil futures* *choosing whether or not to fill up the car today or wait for the next random fuel price drop in the midst of yet another wholly unnecessary war

Never let anyone talk you out of running a quick 3-session campaign. Those dozen weeks will be the best two years of your life. #DnD #TTRPG

NEW: We used facial recognition to identify more than 400 people who appear in photos from the Epstein Files and mapped out their connections. 170 of them haven’t previously been reported on in connection with Epstein. Explore the data with our new website: epstein.photos

I dream of a day where every one of these slimy CEOs have fully and completely withered into nothingness from us repeatedly telling them to fuck off and we can just be at peace to make our silly books.

Just played a CD.. All the songs were mixed to the same volume and, get this, no adverts at all. I'm telling you, this is the future.

The biggest crime you can commit online is being mean about what I was obsessed with as a teenager.

God bless Kate Beaton

Absolutely bonkers footage of Ukrainian soldiers shooting down Russian drones in prop planes with shotguns. Not ai, came from an official Ukrainian account and verified by the WSJ.

Stop your doomscrolling and look at this otter

100%. This is all designed to validate assholes, not to help people

"For me... it was just a Tuesday." "...at the discotheque."

this is what you look like when you unlock all the pieces of your class legendary armor and then you’re idling in town next to the mailbox

IT’S STAR WARS DAY SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

Don't even remember what happened in this one. There were lightspeed jumping shenanigans that felt like they came out of a Guardians of the Galaxy movie, there were some spaceship ruins in the middle of an ocean, the end was just a bunch of Warhammer 40k stuff. I think Rey and Kylo kissed? Maybe?

No c'mon. Hasan Piker is not the Nick Fuentes of the left. The Nick Fuentes of the left is probably someone like Benjanun Sriduangkaew.

The kids J6ing various Scientology centers is a fun development, as is Ashley St Clair (Elon's betrayed babymama) spilling all the Influencer network tea, as crazy as living in chaos times is, we can remember that it cuts all ways

Not the first person to make this observation but the fact that the prequels and sequels decided that 'the outfit Obi Wan wore to blend in on Tattooine' was in fact 'what all Jedi dressed like' is just so stupid. Chopped Unc Owen: Jedi Knight

If all the worst people can live without shame for their destruction, then the good people should have no shame for creating.

"openai.com" was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and "tiktok.com" was the quaint shared homepage of a couple as their relationship progressed from dating to married with a baby (2000). THREAD!!!

it's so fucked up that 'roguelike' now means you get three random upgrades at the end of a level instead of "occasionally the game will generate a gnome with a wand of death and obliterate you (in the event that you havent already died accidentally falling down a set of stairs while overencumbered)"

Started answering spam calls with incredible levels of enthusiasm. They always give a name, "This is Mark, from your television service." I'm like, "Mark! How's it goin' buddy?" and start asking them questions about their lives. I'm forcing human connection on these leeches and it's surprisingly fun

This is cinema lol

THE DUNGEON THAT TOPS YOU finished cover art reveal! submit to delve in her depths — coming soon from @sandypuggames.bsky.social

Sincerely wondering if he’ll veto it

Want a mindblower? As crazy as it is that she’s referencing a movie that presents Bill the Butcher as the literal character embodiment of Violent, Foreigner-Eating-and-Killing America, but the speech he gives in this exact scene he starts by saying “I’m 47”.

Everyone I know that is staying sane right now is utterly bubbled, but I myself function politically through watching Trumpists and oligarchs engage in near-constant self-humiliation, stress, and panic on the global stage.

The Two Trumps

This is the damnedest thing about anti-white discrimination in America. It's never around when you need to find some of it. So fucking insidious.
