Not like Ellison etc. care about ratings and profitability, but she’s positioning them between Fox and OAN and that whole space is crowded with competition for a sliver of the overall TV news market

Between right-wing "journalists" storming daycares and Grok's on-demand CSAM, I think it's time we just say our children aren't safe when the Right is around

Hey I don't think you should use a website that generates CSAM on demand

We should randomly make one bowl game trophy cake every year and tell no one until they go to grab it

The greens for tonight's black eyed peas came from the garden, where the kale and chard haven't stopped growing despite the cold and the leeks were just big enough to use as green onions in the wilt

I think the script for that Mississippi-Georgia game didn't go the way ESPN wanted it given it was showing Georgia kicking the go-ahead field goal, not the Rebels

The closest thing we have in sports to Gemstones

Probably because Musk is using it himself

Why are businesses and government officials still on that site?

incredible mandolin solo in “Everybody Says You Look Like a Whore in that Dress But Not Me, Who Told You I Did, Aw, You’re Drunk, You Crazy Bitch”

The two things I think are funny about this are that 1) SF has the most moderate obviously-not-socialist government in decades at this point, yet the discourse remains unmoved 2) the idea of “tired of lefties and immigrants? Have you considered moving to Austin or Miami?”

Well, at least one good thing in the new year: Bruce Harrell is no longer mayor

I interviewed last year with a company that does this AI for police stuff and got rejected, which I now consider a blessing because I don’t have to think about how their software is probably getting people jailed for hallucinating transmogrify.

It finally hit me that Geese is scratching the same Neutral Milk Hotel / Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti in the big music critics and that's why it bounces off me. It's just... ok. It ain't the Strokes.

It's cold here today. Guess I need to run some AI queries to warm things up

It feels so dated now, but it blew my mind when I was 10 and was “they can make videos like THAT?” It’s hard to explain how massive videos were in the 80s. How mind blowing. How utterly over the top. youtu.be/oJL-lCzEXgI?...

It’s like they turned @themountaingoats.bsky.social “This Year” into a slasher film

I have my coffee

The people who freaked out when strangers showed up to daycares because pedophiles abducting kids or whatever are now strangers showing up to daycares and not getting why they look awful doing it

Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

I said Shedeur Sanders has shown himself to be a a mediocre NFL QB, and someone jumped in my replies screaming that he was the worst and how dare I suggest he be GOOD by calling him mediocre Some people just have bees in their bonnets I guess

OFFICER! ARREST THIS PERSON FOR CRIMES AGAINST COMMON DECENCY

We're dealing with something akin to "dry drunk" behavior in Gen Z -- they're not involved in any fundamentalist institutions, but they act like they are, even when they insist that's what they're not. They want purity and holiness and perfection. They want polar good and bad. They're mad at nuance.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

I don’t expect people to know all the bad stuff about every originally famous for non-political stuff person, and think people should react to the ignorance like an evil version of this XKCD, but I do want people to act like Ms. Roan when they’re informed instead of getting defensive/combative.

Fun fact: Seattle is on target to end the year with ~40% fewer murders than last year and less than half of the 2023 peak Another fun fact: You’d never know it from the local media

wow, sorry. Deleting now. I didn’t know she was French

Srsly they would flip when they discover restaurants in “flyover country” can close as 9 or even 8, while coffee shops may not open before 8am. Oh, and while there are some Michelin-level restaurants, there’s not exactly a French Laundry anywhere but Yountville Good luck techbros

Having burned through fake Norse mythology, they move on to the Crusades, an easy way to dump undesirables and zealots on other countries where Europe was not sending their best Checks out

Starting to look like Caleb Williams isn’t the bust the sports blowhards insisted he was

Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys mocking people who wear masks while talking about What Is To Be Done is exactly what Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys are, it's the most Jon Stewart and pod saves guys thing possible.

We’ve pulled drugs from the market with fewer linked suicides than ChatGPT has

This is great, "Why one small American town won’t stop stoning its residents to death," a story where Isaac Chotiner interviews the guy who administers the lottery from "The Lottery" archiveofourown.org/works/733964...

The lesson of Bridgette Bardot: Live your life so that when you die, people talk about how hot you were, not how racist you were

How I’m walking out of 2025

To understand Nicki Minaj’s MAGA turn, just look at the cheeky formula @naomiaklein.bsky.social created to explain right-wing radicalization: Narcissism + social media addiction + midlife crisis + public shaming = right wing meltdown.

I have so many canning rings that I am turning into Sonic the Hedgehog, just not blue and slow as fuck

We had 100+ years of war, conflict, massacres, and other atrocities when the Catholic Church tried selling pardons

1985: People excited for the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, and Orange Bowls on New Years Day 2025: No one caring about the Rose, Sugar, Cotton and Orange Bowls hosting the playoffs but super-excited to see which team will get a trophy with a working toaster in the Pop-Tarts Bowl

A dishwasher saved our marriage, so I always roll my eyes at the “we HAND WASH our dishes” people

People who want to get morally superior about how they hand-wash everything really gotta reckon with the fact that machine dish-washing uses considerably LESS water and emits considerably fewer greenhouse emissions than standard handwashing practices do. (And you save a lot of time...)

Our “new” car is a touchscreen and I swear it’s going to get me killed someday when I just try to change the station

Perry Bamonte, multi-instrumentalist for the Cure, died over Christmas after a brief illness. Bamonte joined the Cure in 1990, and played keyboards on their 1992 hit ‘Friday I’m in Love.’

The cybertruck lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, spinning its wheels trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, and will return in Avengers: Doomsday

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

In 1968 Philly fans booed Santa and pelted him with snowballs at an Eagles game, something everyone reminds every Eagles fan every time they run into one. And this Republican dillweed thinks this is a good idea to AI himself beating up Santa.
