Cassidy: "Insults only bother me if they come from somebody of character and integrity. I find that people of character and integrity don’t spend their time attacking people on the internet." Don't like you, but baller quote.

I used to have a very negative opinion of the quality of The Pussycat Dolls' song Buttons, but having heard it three times tonight, I am willing to entertain the idea that it's about every manosphere influencer and accurate.

I'm a little surprised Bill Cassidy lost but also he really, really sucked and deserved it, Trump or no.

The next Bond should be Ncuti Gatwa both because he is absolutely perfect for it and because I enjoy seeing conservatives cry like the little snowflakes they are.

Yep, well over half of the student body at the "revered" university I attended cheated their way through their degrees. There were literal file cabinets with the tests. AI is just showing you what people already were. They just did it less competently and got away with it previously.

AMC/BBC America (possibly) getting Doctor Who back post-Disney deal:

This is a really cool article about stupid people who make stupid decisions but think they deserve sympathy because they grow food. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026...

Again, Microsoft should have just paid Nightmare Eclipse. Gallagher should be fired. Dave says be careful about saying it's a backdoor, but it clearly is, almost certainly from the NSA, same as it ever was, despite the fact younger people don't remember the prior ones youtu.be/I14yjt00Fl8?...

This is my feeling about 98% of people I read online.

Every time I see people posting on the internet about cast iron skillets, I am reminded that people genuinely seem to think they're mystical objects that either must be babied or need incantations to work properly. All of these conversations miss why your grandparents had a badass cast iron skillet.

parole board ought to deny her

This is partially true of Atlanta Black Star too, but it's too sensitive of a subject for people to broach. There are multiple journalists there who are AI and don't exist as humans. www.mediaite.com/online/flori...

Microsoft really shoulda just paid Nightmare/Chaotic Eclipse.

I don't have any idea why this is true, but my Bluesky discover feed has been way less negative and toxic this week and I'm kind of enjoying it. It was starting to seem a lot like X to the point I was considering messaging two or three people bye and deleting my account.

Some of y'all just now learning who Natalie Harp is and that cracks me up.

I don't agree with what Burgum is trying to do here, but it's a symptom of how bad the rest of the administration is that the fact he can speak intelligently, if dishonestly, is like a breath of fresh air. He's also not wrong about Chinese technology. Though that's why WE should be subsidizing.

NBC really cut to a fucking Draft Kings ad during a moment of silence for Brandon Clarke and Jason Collins. Holy shit, that’s ghoulish.

I hate it when people talk to me, and I also hate it when people don’t talk to me, but here’s what I like: Complaining

"Why is the service down?" Me, lunging at customer: "I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. You are not a smart person!"

I very rarely say this publicly, but most of my best friends know my feelings: you should be ashamed to be this wealthy. If you have more than you need, you should give it away, in whatever way works for you. Extreme wealth is a deeper character flaw than even some things that we criminalize.

This is a fantastic piece about being a writer and a sibling and a sibling of an outsized writer. I knew David for a few years, and I’m glad to hear from Amy here.

Coders, I beg you, learn the cost of doing database joins when you have an arbitrary number of records. I understand your system had 500 test records but seriously you must have test cases for 10,000,000 or even 100,000,000. RAM getting more expensive is really bringing this stuff out.

Dear corporate executive types: No, I will never let an AI write my email with my name signed at the bottom. Yes, I do insist if you want that to happen that you change my signature to "written by AI not (me)". No, I will not re-write AI emails to meet your metric. Thanks, bros!

Said this a few times, but I believe the answer to the Fermi Paradox is in fact plastics

It is with great regret that I have to say @cameron.stream may have been right about everything bagels.

A surprise party but the surprise is it's for the person running and it not for the person whose birthday it is

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

This is the best thing I read today.

donald trump is a green party candidate who ran as a republican which is why he's twice as evil as usual

Me when someone asks me about a meeting I had 2 weeks ago

Seriously though this is one of the best songs released in a decade. Video is pretty badass too. youtu.be/tsmPCi7NKrg?...

After I answered Socrates, this happened. Kinda worried now.

Origin: Bluesky's taking off with a large leftist, furry, and/or trans community joining up during the beta invite period. Singal joins the site, and starts being harassing and confrontational towards the trans userbase. Userbase asks Trust & Safety (T&S) to enforce the rules about harassment. 1/13

The thing that turned me against the existence of prisons was just learning exactly what happens in our prisons. And no, I don't think even murderers deserve that.

If you can’t laugh at this, truly, is there *anything* you find funny?

If we just made data centers run on beef people would start taking seriously how much worse beef is for the environment

Yeah, tax the rich.

I understand Nintendo fans want everything to be cartoon cereal mascot games but I'd like to point out from an artist's standpoint, that the new game's art style is adapting the style from the SNES game's artwork into a modern look and I personally think that's really cool!

Every pizza is personal size if you believe in yourself enough…

I don't even know what to say to this.

OK, that is some pretty damning stuff.

Kind of epic 🧵.

I didn't see this four months ago. That's kind of legitimately funny.

I would have disagreed with this take a decade or so ago, but I have come around to the idea that William Shatner is actually a pretty sharp guy and talented if ridiculous actor. He really did a better job in this than I remembered from watching it when I was young.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

I appreciate that Meidastouch goes after Trump but I will never understand why anyone watches a 20 minute video that contains the same effective content as two posts.
