A Safdie cast is something like Adrien Brody, Jennifer Lopez, the Rent Is Too Damn High guy, Maurice Dubois, Charles Oakley and the guy who did the whistle on the PC Richards commercials

democrats are very capable of fighting to defend their core principals, like 'insider trading'

This shit is so not out of nowhere that the Amazon Jack Ryan show, that the CIA was attached at the hip in producing, featured an entire season about how Venezuela was a threat America needed to deal with

"AI isn't going anywhere" it's a technology that has extremely high operating costs that cannot generate a profit. All the consumer-facing genAI stuff is absolutely going straight down the toilet in a few years.

Fucking finally

I will be thinking about one of my favorite Rob Reiner bits — where he angrily picks up the phone and immediately puts on a cheery British accent in Wolf of Wall Street — for the rest of the year. What a legend.

Albums I loved in 2025: Shannon and the Clams - The Moon Is In The Wrong Place Say Sue Me - Time Is Not Yours Lucy Dacus - Forever Is A Feeling Wednesday - Bleeds Perfume Genius - Glory Georgia Maq - God's Favorite Pearl Charles - Desert Queen

It's very clear that unlimited wealth causes brain damage. That's not an exaggeration. It's similar to other unnatural human conditions like solitary confinement (which is widely understood to cause mental deterioration) and other types of sensory deprivation.

that's a fitting cover. digital edit overlaying imagery of people who actually performed labor and built things people needed

If I could tell my high school self one thing it would be that all the boring idiots will join the workforce with you and also all the boring idiots ten years younger than you

I saw Up In The Air in theaters in 2009 and an older couple brought an entire bottle of wine and loudly shushed me when I laughed at the opening montage where people got fired

the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything

I thought the big selling point of gen AI was that it was more efficient

Democrats love telling their base not to expect them to do anything.

INSPIRING: do you have a gambling problem and read the news? this man figured out a way to take advantage of you, and he doesn't even have a college degree

The fact that they make antisemitism into a little award shows they don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

It’s very clarifying that a computer that’s wrong more than half the time is just as effective as a human CEO

The myth of that a bunch of young hackers can solve any problem was debunked by DOGE. But the larger moral stain is that this was a heist. Cost saving was a cover story to shutdown investigations into Elon’s companies, steal government data and engage in genocide by proxy via killing USAID.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I think it’s very funny when people claim AI is “inevitable”. It’s a technology that needs tons more electricity than our current power grid can handle, breaks intellectual property laws, and cannot deliver factual information more than half the time — what is inevitable about this product?

Charlie Browns mom: Waaah wah wah wah waaah waaah waaah wah Charlie Brown: oh, you mean pigpen Charlie browns mom: Wah way. Waaaah wahwahwah wah wah waaah waaaah wahwhawah wah wah Charlie Brown: yeah I get that. It’s pretty bad over there but I don’t think they hit him

If the Yankees are not profitable, Hal Steinbrenner can cut his losses and sell the team to me for 100 dollars.

Ryan Lizza?! Olivia Nuzzi?! Their names have so many z’s because their drama puts me to sleep!

One way you know socialism is good is both Republican and Democrat representatives agree that it’s bad.

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

Goddamn dude, just go ahead knock 25 percent off my 401k and get on with it, I can't take much more of this.

You need an AI bear to tell you to have a safe word and check the kitchen?

Massie was crucial to forging the Epstein bill coalition. What he's saying here -- that Epstein had CIA and Mossad ties -- is supported by reporting, notably the excellent series at Drop Site on Epstein's as an international power broker. The mainstream media has almost entirely ignored this topic.

Giving away a record amount of money from my checking account to my savings account

Very rare to see someone lay out so explicitly that they do not consider "never again" to be a universalist creed. I don't know how people who talk like this can stand to look themselves in the mirror.

There is no place on earth, in this life or the next, where this wretched family should feel safe

Taylor Swift wouldn’t be caught dead at these Chiefs games

Umm technically he’s called Netanyahu’s Monster

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power

your paper actively ran cover for him!

It’s very enervating to watch intelligent and educated people play dumb about this amidst the ascendance of a far-right reactionary movement driven by antisocial Silicon Valley psychos and Miami crypto scammers who all treat women as status symbols on the same level as NFTs and Labubus.

The only thing that could shock me is if it’s revealed Jeffrey Epstein posted on FYAD from 2004-2007

Every rich and powerful person is incredibly rude, stupid, arrogant, and self-absorbed. The wealthier and more powerful you are, the more this applies.
