"Many have even brought up Mordor’s connection to those hijacked eagles that were flown into Minas Morgul and Orthanc all those years ago, but that shouldn’t be a reason not to do my bits about whether women can parallel tether a horse or not."

"Food insecurity is higher than at any time since the aftermath of the Great Recession, according to federal data, and many food banks are reporting higher need than they saw at the peak of the pandemic. Demand is only expected to increase." It's all just so cruel. We need to put a stop to it all.

I had a discussion with my therapist who got a scam phone call during our visit that its just beyond frustrating that literally every single second of being american is fending off people trying to fleece you, email, phone, hobby stores, whatever its just scams on scams

I can’t begin to tell you how damaging “the world isn’t fair, get used to it” line has been to every child’s psyche growing up and therefore has led to a world that stays unfair. If we teach children to get used to an unfair world, we are destroying the possibility of a better world.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

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

Gen X was right about sellouts

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

Airport Moving Walkway: Out of Order Me: THE U.N. IS AGAINST ME

If you’re going to say men listening to misogynistic podcasts and watching extreme porn is the exact same as women engaging with romantasy and true crime, I want you to cite sources on how many men kill women per year and how many women kill men per year in your both-sidesism.

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.

California’s “No Robo Bosses Act” is a great start. And much more is needed, because many kinds of powerful institutions are using automated decision-making against us. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

It’s back to gracklepalooza! A lot of the grackles have left on their migration, but there are still quite a few hanging around. With his feathers fresh from the summer moult, this male Common Grackle, was foraging in the trees and decided to fly down to the creek for a drink! #Birds 🪶

Ruin a book with a car: The Count of Monte Carlo

Circumstances in my life being what they are, a couple of weeks ago I settled into a mindless binge show on Netflix. I picked Franklin and Bash. I'm in season 3 of 4 and I question whether the makeup artist(s) hated the men on this because jfc the foundation work on their faces is consistently bad.

My work email is through Outlook and every time I open the app on the phone it asks if I'm enjoying Outlook and I need them to understand my response to Outlook is entirely Pavlovian (derogatory) and they need to word the question better to inform the metrics they actually seek.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23. A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

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

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits
