It is both lovely and terrible that it’s so hard to fall out of love with the world.

Finally...the good part of youtube

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die. He was unable to. He still walks among us, cursed to remember in a world where everyone has forgotten. He’s out there now, just beyond the light your lantern throws,

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

The only Christmas special I recommend, and I recommend it every year

Both of these things suck.

Can't sue AI for libel/slander oops 🤷‍♂️ too bad so sad, it's fine. If AI gets someone to kill themselves it's fine, all that matters is feeding the machine that will put everybody out of work so we can have even more of all the money. You can't make a fake omelette without breaking a few lives.

Although not a computer game, my favorite video game Santa moment is fighting his corrupted form in Secret of Mana

I love SimTower so much. One of the nerdiest things about me as a child (and there are MANY) is that I used to hand drawn SimTowers for my classmates and charge them ten cents (artists: raise your prices!!!) for a drawing of a tower on wide ruled paper, college ruled cost extra cause more floors.

i totally forgot that i had turned "Don't Stop Believin'" into a sonnet

Although fascist activist Bari Weiss is leading the charge as chief MAGA censor at CBS News, the Ellisons also installed a SECOND Trump mouthpiece there. It's a fully fascist propaganda outlet now, CBS News is gone. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Happy holidays! Pigeons make milk, and I hope this fact fills you with joy and concern during this festive time of year

(white people seeing a bunch of pedophiles stepping on their own dicks) well it's better than giving minorities basic rights i guess

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

This can be a difficult and nuanced discussion, especially for people that are out of the tech loop. I try to break it down as AI = shit you've been using for over a decade. Predictive text. NPC enemy AI. Specialized machine learning. GenAI = shit built on stolen/scraped assets from the Internet

lots of you were mocking ‘people who watch 60 Minutes’ yesterday, but 60 Minutes and PBS’s Frontline are the only two news programs like this left

disney should go back to making movies about how it’s ok to steal from rich people

i bet cate blanchett could convince bari that lydia tár is real

Folks, you can’t have Christian Nationalism without the antisemitism. It’s a central tenet of the ideology. The fact some of these Jewish Heritage folks are just realizing this is wild to me.

But I can see you Your bronze helm shining in the sun And there's Gilgamesh with scale armor on, baby And I can tell you and Enkidu will still be strong After the boys of Sumer have gone

You Wouldn’t Download 60 Minutes

We've entered the time of year known as The Eternal Weekend

small data point but I was watching a thing from Dave Meltzer the ancient pro wrestling man talking about Jake Paul and the top comment is someone being like “yo both he and Andrew Tate got rocked lmao this rules” so this isn’t just soy Bluesky bubble outlook

this is like the homer car drawing but somehow worse

America desperately needs opposition politicians running on a platform of tribunals, truth & reconciliation committees, and severe punishment for the worst offenders in this administration.

As anyone who works in the nonprofit world can tell you, this is a very, very bad sign.

they're gonna shank our jengaships.

i used to clean stacks at a university library & for some reason they had three editions of horace walpole’s complete works i forgot the linear feet of shelving it took up but it was enough to permanently engrave his name in my brain

correction: this was john, not jake

i am actually working on an article right now about how the vast majority of the world's information - and so many current events - are not at all legible to LLMs, a fact that a startling number of people never seem to think about

all this berry weiss chatter reminds me of the time i got jake leinenkugel to storm out of my liquor store
