I'm tired.

I worked out a deal with Veles to get the pass. The terms were - oh God I can't do this - unfavourable to me personally but I think being a good neighbour (NO NO NO NO I CANNOT DO THIS TO MYSELF) means making sacrifices so that the centre can hold. I can't do this. I am sure it's a great cake.

Oh. This is interesting. Yes.

It's fine, guys. I wouldn't worry about it.

I think he's absolutely correct on this, but we should absolutely condemn him for trapping all those people on that island.

Me: Where does this one lead? Ah, that makes sense. What about this one? Again!

HELEN ANDREWS And so what the statistics show, Ross, when you look at it ROSS DOUTHAT Yeah, let’s dig in ANDREWS What they show is that, okay, 98% of boys go to college to get more knowledge DOUTHAT Wow. ANDREWS And almost 97% of girls, in contrast, they go to Jupiter to get more stupider

I think both theology and politics friends could get a lot of mileage fun this.

Richest nation in human history

we all yearn to take to the sea for the same reason to become crab

Are these cats???

The New York Times uses a Francoist freak and evopsych to say women ruin working and The Economist is excited AI is going to determine if your skullshape should qualify you for loans. Elon Musk got approved for a trillion dollars. And yet, wokeness is still going to win. The people will win.

You have to be a pretty sick fuck to write something like and present it as if it's giving the downtrodden hope. You have to be a real evil motherfucker for that. Genuinely this is one of the most reprehensible and morally depraved things I've seen on this site.

Crowdsourcing: would you visit an exhibit on the long history of women ruining things in American society? Put on by a certain center that has the name women’s history in its title?

I believe in market-based posadism

I got hired at the Evil Corporation and I'm trying to change it from the inside. Oh, no, I'm not making it good and not evil. I'm just adding more women to it. And uh, a couple of vending machines. And maybe some fun things like a pingpong table or two

What a fucking prick. Worthless piece of shit. Worth noting: the South Asian woman who got his ass on Survivor was in the Mamdani commercial and won the whole thing. Natalie Anderson ended this shitstain.

This book changed my life, and I believe we live in his world

I hope my friends and family in the Louisville area are okay and safe.

We need to romanticize the shitty day job! Phillip Glass drove taxicabs!

this is objectively hilarious

GET ME A CAMERA ON ANDREW CUOMO RIGHT FUCKING NOW

On the lists discourse subject...I don't really object to blocklists (and I say this as someone on some comically inept ones) but I think the system could use an overhaul (not designed to reward thinkpiece idiots). Like, some random no name account I've never interacted me has me on an "LGBT" list.

I'm on the mic at my new job tonight for the first time. Woo

Starting to think that this "it's just a tool" shit is a cover for the technology being a revolt by business oligarchs against people...

It is also worth saying that everyone who mocks some supposedly fake discipline like “gender studies“ or “Africana studies“ is also really excited about degree programs in things like “AI prompt engineering.” Nothing wrong with a “fake” discipline if it flatters your world view and bank account!

I will say it until I’m out of breath but if you’re critical of colleges offering “fake” degree programs with absolutely no intellectual rigor, start with the undergrad business degree or I’m not taking you seriously. 100% fake curriculum of airport Leadership slop.

I already voted like seven times today and I don't even live in New York, I just want to be an ally to them today. Good luck out there, guys. I really hope you all do it

Good thread

Welcome To The Black Parade, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, and Paint It Black are all the same song for different generations

We live in your world, Joel.

Me when I'm up against the Ice-type gym leader and they got lucky with the 10% freeze chance (I was removed from the gym and banned from the Pokemon League for bringing a gun)

Very funny seeing people rage at a fictional young voter they made up in their head in the replies. "Gen X" supports Trump far, far, FAR more than young people

Huh, has this club been in the news for other reasons lately? Do they have good reasons to perhaps wanna keep a low profile

Which of the classic Tetris pieces has the best mouthfeel?

Weren't they talking about GLPs as a way to get people off welfare/on jobs

Absurd framing from New Statesmen - the problem with America isn't "political division," and the role of universities is not to "foster disagreement." This is the exact kind of framing that leads to normalizing the ideas and power that American oligarchs used to implement their iron rule. Trash.

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

Uhhhhhhhhh

it’s amazing to me that an ivy prof is on record saying this in the nyt, mustapha mond stuff

Watch out for Ea Nasir this Halloween!

Just fucking feed the poor.

QUESTION: What would Garth Marenghi's relationship to generative AI be?

hosedrinker identity politics

Hey this seems pretty cool

ADD one letter to ruin a candy Sheath Bar Marsh Bar Twinx

Are we really doing this again? [sigh] You all don't really understand, some people - mature people - have a NUANCED view on burying old people alive. I don't know why you all pretend that I'm some freak outlier for this? Not everyone is in your bubble.

Thank you, Dutch friends

Given his behavior towards homeless and trans people, I cannot forgive the usage of Christian rhetoric here, never mind that we - thankfully - live in a secular society.
