Am I watching the AFL Grand Final? Yes. Do I have a dog in this fight? Given the mascots are Cats and Lions, no.

Every day is another step towards our inevitable Butlerian jihad.

So in this very short period of time, we’ve seen the mass adoption of AI despite no one really knowing what it does for their business. While at the same time, they’ve abandoned any commitment to diversity because “DEI is bullshit” and all the receipts are now coming up short?

Hegseth is CEO-maxxing at this point. Oblivious to what's going on, tone deaf in delivery, and upset people think he's a do-nothing who makes them fly in for his pointless in-person rants

Should probably offer a different vision to Reform's, then

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

And right on schedule, Sinclair backs down

PROTECT THE DOLLS means ALL of the dolls, including clocky dolls and bricky dolls I can’t believe I have to say that in this Year Of Our Lord 2025 What is wrong with some of you

I figure half our problems right now with white guys under 35 could easily be solved through teaching them HOW TO FUCKING LISTEN TO WOMEN AND NOT MONOLOGUE ALL OVER THEM

Went to Uwajimaya (Asian grocery store in Seattle) to pick up some fresh rice noodles. The shelves were totally empty of them. I asked a worker and they said the noodles were hit by tariffs. Maybe they would have them again next week. So far: tea and rice noodles.

Me: Why is everyone in the doctors office wearing Seahawks jerseys when the Mariners won the division for the first time in a generation oh wait Hawks are playing tonight

Over to you, Cisco, Amazon, and IBM

CHOTINER: I’ve always found it a bit puzzling, given your role as Emissary, that you were so close to Garak. The Bajorans consider him a war criminal and assassin SISKO: I'll tell you a story. I was trying to get the Romulans to enter the war CHOTINER: With that assassinated senator? SISKO:

Drummond (yes, as in the Ree Drummond Drummonds) is a very conservative, red-blooded MAGA Republican. And when Walters is getting blasted like this on the way out the door by a guy who is the epitome of the far right, then you KNOW he was terrible at his job. Good riddance.

MOAR RACCOONS

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support. I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

DAVE, WE KNOW YOU ARE SEEING THIS

For the first time in 23 years, the Mariners have won the division. Twenty. Three. Years. And a LOT of bad baseball in those 23 years. SO MUCH bad baseball.

Cal Raleigh: The biggest derriere to ever hit 60 homers in a season

Maybe it's time to shut the internet down until we can figure out what is going on

Wait, Luis Castillo pitched into the 8th? A PITCHER IN 2025 MLB PITCHED 7 1/3 INNINGS? IS THAT EVEN LEGAL?

Democrats seem to believe that they can turn a big dial that says "transphobia" up and down with no consequences. But all they're doing is bolstering a fascist drive to wipe trans people off the face of the earth. It's disgusting and shameful and it needs to end www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Mariners fandom: Just that old lady from Titanic over and over again

The subtle dig in the nutgraph is a thing again and I want more of it

It's been something else to watch the Christian Right swing from "children with developmental disabilities are gifts from God!" to "why should my tax dollars pay to fund these burdens on society, why can't we just lock them all up and forget about them" in less than a decade

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Chotiner interviews Janeway

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

"Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen. And also, release the Epstein list." -- Revelation 16:15, NIV Study Bible for People Who Write Things On Bullets

The distances between "Trump is fat" and "Trump is horrible because he's fat" and "Fat people are horrible" are much, much closer than people think

The GOP has decided if one Reichstag fire isn’t doing the job, just make everything a Reichstag fire until it sticks. They should stop trying to make Reichstag fire happen

Imagine it's 2002 and you're sitting around watching the Man Show and a time traveler appears in the room and tells you about the past 48 hours

The Mariners’ magic number for the division is 1. There are adults with college degrees who weren’t born the last time the Mariners won a division pennant

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Keep it up everyone, if we just keep making games with women and pronouns we can eventually ensure that the chuds never get to enjoy a single new video game ever again

GWAR: does GWAR things Libs of TikTok: WE MUST BOYCOTT THIS EVIL LIBERAL BAND FULL OF PEOPLE WHO HATE FREEDOM GWAR: adds Chaya Raichik mannequin on stage for the decapitation section of the set

It's amazing that people act like Isaac Chotiner has superpowers simply because he is the only journalist who has object permanence. The only journalist who doesn't freak out in a tantrum when mommy covers her face with her hands, and people are like holy shit this guy is basically Columbo

Lmfao amazing chotiner www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Chotiner: so I looked on your playlist- Me: uh huh Chotiner: you know it’s fascinating because a lot of people might have one Jefferson Starship song but you have both We Built This City (on Rock & Roll) and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now from Mannequin Me: I’m not comfortable with how this is going

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

“Seven years of tribulation! The Antichrist will rule!” “So like it is right now” “NO SEE FIRES WILL BURN THE SEAS WILL BOIL AND PLAGUES WILL SPREAD” “So, again, how is this different than now” “But you can be the righteous called to Heaven” “Heaven have tacos?” “Uh, no?” “I’m staying”

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

intermittent reminder that i REALLY want to hear your story about that time you got canned. i'm on your side.

For my birthday my art school student son drew me as a raccoon (my favorite animal) with a record player Can't believe how far he's advanced in drawing in just a few years

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

I’m sure they’ll have “discussions” and restore Kimmel later this week, not when local advertisers were expecting more eyeballs from Kimmel and they got another Family Feud rerun

There’s no Rapture, but if there were, it would be hilarious if the ones who thought they were going got left behind while a bunch of liberals and minorities they didn’t like were raptured

And remember that the ones fighting autism are on the same side as cancer (given they gutted NIH and CDC)

Target dumps DEI. Boycott undermines earnings so much the CEO gets fired Disney fires Jimmy Kimmel. Subscriber and industry boycott sends them scrambling to restore Kimmel to the air Pritzker stands up to Trump over troops in Chicago. Nat'l Guard deployment canceled Never give in to bullies.

Also, yes, I'm another year older and deeper in debt today.
