My first time using ramekins

Can’t wait for her to return with an eye patch in the sequel

"We think of child predation not necessarily as just a problem, but as an opportunity, as well" is really, really quite the statement to make Sorta lays the problems of contemporary America out on the table, don't it

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Guess they’re gonna have to tear down all those New Deal buildings and artworks. For those who don’t study history, we’ve had socialism in America before, it was in response to unbridled wealth hoarding, and it directly led to one of the most prosperous periods the country has ever experienced.

I read the whole roblox ceo guy interview and I have to say he seems like a markedly worse person than, say, Dennis Rader

you and me both, cement mixer

Excuse to post a classic?

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

ProtonMail it is.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don't like what your political opponents say, execute them. Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that's not what we do in America.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

WaPo: manufactured Epstein crisis brings back woke NYTimes: Epstein emails reveal a lost New York tinged in nostalgia

The left has a problem with political violence. Anyway, here’s the President of the United States saying his political opponents should be executed.

Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising. As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

Meanwhile, on the right, they're still talking about Jussie Smollett.

She’s worked for years to cover up Epstein. She looks like she’s been crying.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

When I was in middle school, my parents took my brother and I to an advertised Randy Jones autograph signing at the Escondido Grangetto’s. We arrived to see Randy looking unamused, sitting at an empty table, alone. As we walked up, a woman approached him and asked where the rakes are.

The Dave & Jeff story boosts their “independent podcast” hype while also raising the mystique of the infamous “97.3 backroom”, positioning them as survivors of some poisoned well. Not saying radio isn’t a fucked up biz, but imagine…

Sigh

The perfect album from the year I turned 16 (2003):

Just gets worse every day

The Financial Times named GILDED RAGE one of its best tech books of 2025. www.ft.com/content/af55...

People coming to bluesky because twitter is broke

So, uh, he switches from ALL CAPS to a whisper: "Congress, do not waste your time and energy on anything else." Sir, what do you mean by "anything else"? What else could Congress possibly be focusing on right now?

Mark Sanford the presidential candidate?

The DOJ ordered US Marshals to the house of the pardon attorney who refused to sign off on a pardon to give Mel Gibson back his guns. Big law firms told her they supported her but did not want to be seen representing her. This is the use of government-sponsored fear to silence dissent.

Everything Alex Jones feared would come to pass has been brought to fruition by his own party. He's so partisan that he won't admit that it was Trump and his cronies who have deployed everything he claimed to oppose.

i mean why can’t i get paid for my shitty writing do i have to sext nancy pelosi or something

Possibly the most sucked in by a first chapter I’ve ever felt

(Politico) - An Indiana Senate Republican who President Donald Trump called out in a Truth Social post Sunday for not backing the White House’s plan to draw new congressional maps was later targeted by a swatting, according to local authorities. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

They really are going with immaculate asymmetry of tariffs, which didn't raise prices when they were imposed but will cut them when they're withdrawn.

English Composition professor here: AI is not good at straight English. In fact it's very, very bad at that!

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

Just heard a cybertruck honk. It sounds somewhere between a goose and a modem taking a painful shit

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

They don’t, they’re distancing themselves.
