And is ripping off my creative and professional work and throwing it in a cement mixer while reliably informing me that their business model simply won’t scale if they pay for my labor.

Learning that the abundance of Thai restaurants around the world is a direct result of the government of Thailand doing a sort of restaurant diplomacy makes me wonder why America can’t just do that, why can’t we make the burger to end all burgers instead of Henry Kissinger 2

Current mood: drinking fancy(ish) wine and eating frozen pizza at 11:30 PM because nooooothing maaaaaatters

Good.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

I dearly, dearly, dearly wish the other J. Griffees of the world would learn what their email addresses actually are. Trust me, I beat you to the one you keep trying to use a looooooong time ago.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled: Voters as “Votors” Emergency as "Emeregency" United States as "United Staes" And, it included a non-party in the caption. These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

why “the nerds won!!” was never actually a good thing, exhibit A

stepped outside for a vibe check and saw a beast fuckin hauling ass towards Bethlehem

What a time to be alive

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo “History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Not only will I be rocking my new St. Paul dad jacket tonight, I’m also gonna be wearing my Sinister Minnesotans shirt too, haha. I should probably find a recipe for some Sinister Hotdish…

welp: now my house smells like I set a Disney princess on fire 'cause I kind of did (...it's a themed scented candle. don't look at me.)

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

Never a big Narnia guy but this 6 seconds typifies everything I love about British television.

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

I mean...I can't improve on this. Just read it.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

At least (and unsurprisingly) the women said no. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

The last time I bought a new mattress, the guy at the store encouraged me to buy a cover (which I was planning to do anyway). It was hilarious listening to him try to list every OTHER reason it helps keep things cleaner/fresher/etc. without ever mentioning sex. We all know, my friend. It's fine.

it really just feels like there's a concerted push to get as many people's faces into that system as fast as possible by any means necessary

One of the greatest bollard walks in history. #WorldBollardAssociation

My favorite stat from this year's winter Olympics: Johannes Klæbo alone won more gold medals than 21 of the participating countries did.

Hatoson-kun, a stately pigeon with a top hat and monocle, is the mascot for Ito Yokado supermarkets.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

He dances in a way I have only seen horses dance. He possesses a power and majesty we will never know.

GOOD FOR HIM people.com/farmer-86-re...

They think punk means *acting without consent* not *acting in defiance of power*

lol filling out job applications is wild, like what on earth is this supposed to mean, there is literally no other context on the screen

The Social Security Administration sent an email to me (and presumably many, many other people) today with the subject line "Help Us Slam the Scam!" All I could think while looking at it: "You have got to be fucking kidding me."

"'Sometimes, he is quite stubborn, and he wants to win — but that's our goal, not to let him win,' she said. She added: 'This time, he won.'"

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that ChatGPT conversations from the Tumbler Ridge teenager who carried out a horrific school shooting were flagged by employees at OpenAI. They raised their concerns but the company ultimately did nothing, according to the reporting. archive.is/GUweE#select...

The Agony in the Garden, by Eugène Delacroix, 1827, 📸 by @ElsaGarrison

I am very annoyed that people think 'rich' means 'that guy has a mercedes and takes a vacation to italy once a year' and not 'that guy has more money than 40% of the world combined and can decide to start or stop wars based on his personal prejudices' the sums involved are incomprehensible

Alysa Liu 🤝Marshawn Lynch Oakland natives who absolutely dominate and don’t care about a hot mic

Ami was so cute here checking her placement with Alysa and then celebrating together. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating
