if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

hl2 deathmatch splash screen but it's the Skibidi Toilet getting thrown

Nothing like pants made by a company called Le Labourer that cost $238

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

Trump holding giant military parades and painting everything gold while trying to cut Medicare and Medicaid because the government is broke is very "guy who owes me money is posting pictures from his vacation" coded

If it's Rite I, you should respond, "And with thy spirit." If it's Rite II, "And also with you." Hope this helps.

Under my administration we captured 3 gray aliens and 2 green

I thought CS Lewis came up with a pretty good system for The Screwtape Letters to explain why demons both cooperate and backstab. They want to eat souls, so they have to work together to tempt them. They can also eat another demon if it screws up. This model actually applies to a lot of places

Anyone still think about TOONSTRUCK? I can't believe we got a game starring Christopher Lloyd, with Dan Castellaneta, Tim Curry, Frank Welker, Tress MacNeille and other incredible vocal talents - and the most stunning handdrawn animations. God, I loved it.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

literal "how that make you feel white boy"

The thing is, this isn't even the first time US ag has wrecked itself with foolish trade wars. In the runup to the Civil War, US cotton plantations decided to stop exporting cotton. Why? Because the British Empire's textile mills ran on cotton from US plantations.

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

but ultimately he ended up listening more to Inland Empire and the Horrific Necktie

among political scholars this is known as the ¡Jeb! Inflection Point

oh no, he's on ao3

certainly there are reasonable definitions of "civil war" that "using the military on our cities" would fall into

oh it's time to post the Tetris story again. (short version: reporter goes to cover early e-sports, discovers that his wife is, unknowingly, the greatest Tetris player in the world) archive.boston.com/news/globe/m...

JENNA: Saudi? How chic Tracey. Last time I was there I was invited onto Prince Dubai Chocolate's yacht (lowers voice, smoldering tone) He threw firecrackers at me

tucking in the homies and giving them a lil smooch >>>>>>>

the reporting on how homan wound up taking a bag of cash from federal agents is so clearly true: they were investigating some other, lower level scumbag and he kept begging them to give his high-powered friend tom homan a million dollars for contracts

The Predajerk

starting to think that an increasingly senile trump is being shown a different reality by his aides by making ai videos of shit and telling him it’s real news

years from now, i think historians are going to mark september 2025 as the month where he started to go into visible decline

guy in 3000 bc: remember when tools were made of stone 🪨 now every thing is bronze 😡 we used to live in cave ⛰️ now we sleep in hut 😪 instead of hunting ox 🐮 we make them pull plow 🌾 who else wish we could go back 😩

where else will you find the CTO bragging about how fast it is to leave their app

If you're wondering why they don't go to court with their high paid lawyers for an easy win, it's because this allows Google to bribe Trump. All the big players are way over their skis on AI investment and are sure they will need a bailout at some point. It's 2009 but for tech instead of housing

this, but it's extra funny to me because, like, I know the guy! Like if you (a 38 year old) saw a picture of a bedroom in a magazine when you were ten and thought "yeah, that's how I want my room to look" there's a decent chance my then 30-something friend styled that room bsky.app/profile/wapp...

These rooms are exactly like the scene in LABYRINTH where the junk lady tries to distract Sarah from her quest by surrounding her with childhood comforts, a trap Sarah can only escape by remembering her responsibilities

The only core American desire is to want to be a baby again

Good morning, and rememver, no matter how bad a day you may have, you’re not Samuel Pepys who, overnight, had shit in the chimney. Twice.

“Am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening?” is a great line to be whispered in a hushed, scared voice over an assaulting montage of glitching warping FOX news footage for the trailer to an A24 horror movie about the next few years.

critical to understand that this is "elder abuse" in the same sense as "drug abuse" or "abuse of authority"

reporter: donald trump has announced that americans must evolve into a race of hardy metal men via mandated injections of liquid mercury. your response? klobuchar: *visibly straining to remember line consultants came up with* donkey kong donald’s economic policies are “bananas” for small business

I keep using the term "non compos mentis" to describe Trump because that's how he's acting. It's beyond his longstanding history of total ignorance, habitual lying, and constant exaggeration. He's genuinely disconnected from reality and often incapable of expressing coherent thoughts.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.
