Dana and Robby both coming unglued at the same time seems bad

See, the thing people don't understand is that what made the subprime mortgage crisis bad was that the securities were TOO valuable

👏🏼The Choctaw Nation has purchased a warehouse in Oklahoma that ICE was trying to buy and use as a detention center. www.projectsaltbox.com/p/choctaw-na...

lmao

My dad will gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger and glass of milk today

Did the cool thing where I forgot to turn off "make the notification sound every time anyone says anything in this server," on one of the couple dozen servers I'm on, and for some insane reason this is Discord's default, so I got to play "Find the Bastard" for half an hour today

This isn't something that actually matters a ton in the grand scheme of things but it is ridiculously annoying

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

well but have you considered that one time people on bluesky were very rude about a journalist who is my friend?

This is exactly the way in which twitter is rotting brains, rapidly

*eating a Clif bar, which is a type of particle board made with honey* This is healthy, I am being healthy right now

Yeah, teach kids cursive I say. Everyone's handwriting looks like dogshit anymore

You ever see the inside of a juniper tree? Look at that heartwood

I don't know for certain that this was written by AI but there's a table of contents for an article that's maybe 500 words total

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

Every headline now is like when parents are telling you what it means when their pre-verbal baby is making angry noises. "Oh this is normal, he does this when we don't warm up the stewed apples enough" except it's "Trump says final strike in Iran war is coming soon"

Marine insurers love it when you don't know if there are any mines

Growing up means learning to find inspiration less from stories about child wizards and more from Carl Hiaasen sad sacks

Incredible how much better I feel when I go to bed before midnight. And yet, I refuse to do it

Seems like Google's web interface has gotten even more aggressive about pushing "AI mode" in the last couple of weeks. Sucks when you're looking for something specific

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

This is possibly the worst thing I have ever seen

If I was God I would reach down and twang that thing like a door stopper

I've inadvertently gotten into the habit of playing Willin' as the last thing I do every day like it's bedtime prayers or something

move slow and repair things

If you're going to throw assloads of money into making a TV series based on the work of a British fantasy author, whyyyyyyyyyy not do Discworld

Some Control vibes going on in this level

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

Telegram scammers are so weird

while many gaming communities default to white guy-centric toxicity, @gamesdonequick.com proposes an alternative: welcoming to all, with "trans rights" as a rallying cry. but it wasn't always this way, and old problems still fester. for @aftermath.site's woke week, my months-in-the-making report:

Strategy games rock! #strategygames #indiegames #indiedev

The Jetsons lied to us

(possibly) shipping up to Boston, lads

I volunteer to create the president's daily Iran intelligence briefings. I already have copies of Arma 3, Command: Modern Operations, and CapCut installed

yall wanna see some PG Wodehouse memes

The Gorilla Channel, which everyone was so quick to say was fake, is where negotiations with Iran are taking place

When Meta announced the Horizon Worlds shut down, a lot of us laughed. Dr. Ruth Diaz, who worked on the project early on and left in 2022 says it's betrayal. "Zuckerberg renamed his company Meta to claim transformation. What he has actually done is strip-mine the trust and labor of every creator."

Trump getting his daily Iran intelligence briefing in the form of a two-minute video tracks with everything I've seen so far

Well my life is going better than I'd say 95% of humanity's ever has, I have a big house in suburban California, money hasn't been and won't ever be a problem for me. I guess it's time to tell that Reacher guy to fuck himself

I never caught the Harry Potter bug so I try to be as understanding as I can, but goddamn there are so many other stories out there

"What you made with Sora mattered" lol No it didn't. I actually can't think of something that matters less than what you made with Sora

The fact that Trump is never not completely making everything up on the spot makes knowing what is actually happening kind of difficult for everyone

Is it a giant wooden horse

given the modern conservative fascination with Sparta it's at least a little funny that they've engineered a situation in which Persia is able to level a dramatically uneven battlefield by forcing the conflict into a narrow pathway

Seeing people say AI is a tool that helps "working class people become writers" and its such bullshit. The process of learning and skill sharpening is labour, and its telling that there is work to be glamorized (being perceived as a Writer) and labour beneath people (learning to write)

Feeling like a cyberpunk supergenius for successfully setting up Sunshine/Moonlight to beam Steam to my living room TV

Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.
