Josh took me out with "The penis-freezing is just the tip of the iceberg, both figuratively and literally." 🤣🥶

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

idk how to tell you this but people in their 30s and beyond do not have to subject themselves to the aesthetic judgements of teenagers. you can have a distinct culture. you dont have to breathlessly ask if the thing you like is chopped! we havent been young or cool in a while!!

Remembering @worstpossible.world 's Last Of Us episodes, there's something about the Red Button/Blue Button meme that feels incredibly Neil Druckmann-coded to me.

I grew up on stuff like Looney Tunes, early Disney animated and live-action films, The Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, Abbott & Costello, and I LOVED 1960s Batman. And that's not even counting everything on MST3K!

Satire Creators Urge CDC and WHO To Slow Down With All The Source Material Please

I wrote about being inundated with AI writing at every turn, unwittingly turning my brain into the AI police, and how shitty AI writing is randomly showing up in my real life outside of the internet www.404media.co/your-ai-use-...

It feels like every time I read the news I find occasion to reference @nogodsnomayors.com's concept of "Corruption II, which is exactly like Corruption I except the money goes to me."

JFC. "Step 1: Kill the messengers. There may be more steps needed, but they will need to be devised by people who understand Good Vibes Only is our official statute."

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

the person has Been Through It and I love that they’re weaponizing their trauma for good

"AI doesn't know things and it doesn't research anything. It makes its best guess about what letter comes next. It doesn't THINK. It's a giant guessing machine."

As Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol tells the press his Back to Starbucks plan is working, baristas across social media are sounding the alarm on benefits and hours being cut.
 Brian Niccol is taking us Backwards.

Most relatable comic of all time?

It is simultaneously true that we should have a fundamentally different system of government and that the further disenfranchisement of racial minorities in the limited democracy we do have is bad.

again: If you do not fight at the barricade of trans healthcare you will fight at the barricade of the most stigmatized medication you are on and you will do it with fewer experienced allies because you left trans people to die

happy star wars day to this tweet in particular

These are the best May the Fourth thing I've seen all day.

I want to reassure everyone that abortion providers have been ready to switch to misoprostol-only abortion for a long time now, and clinics can still provide mifepristone in person. You can still access abortion and there are people who will help.

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

swear to god nothing has radicalized like me like watching rich men burn our planet, dry up our freshwater and poison our kids to invent the world’s most powerful technology — a robot chick who laughs at all their jokes

I think the repro movement has oversold what state constitutional amendments can do in the face of federal restrictions and even state-based nonsense (see: Missouri). But people should know that abortion pills are still available by mail in all 50 states

The little girl whose dad wouldn't give her a dollar for college because she would "probably just end up barefoot and pregnant at [his] doorstep" showed up at Planned Parenthood with her shoes on. Then put herself through college. Then law school. And she is very, very, pissed off.

Yeah it's wild how people did not recognize the vibe of the video being "Based Cis Comedian DESTROYS Woke Trans Hypocrite" especially given the blatant "pronouns" joke

we all have our vices and i'm a hypocrite for judging them like this but "bringing back smoking" is an idea periodically floated by the dumbest people alive whose only real belief is edgelordism. i am totally unwilling to hedge on or reconsider this opinion

It's just Ready Player One XXX Edition. That's what they think people want from art.

Answer: the men who got them pregnant kill them. Not top five. Not top three. Top.

YES!! It works EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This is how we make a society thrive and excel. Love this excerpt.

unrelated to the article: This picture of a superyacht looks like Dr. Wily's fortress. I expect a cutaway view with little line segments showing MM's progress through it.

Put Jeff Rosenstock on the list of great American Songwriters you cowards

The Secret Service allowed a gunman into the event and, in response, shot not the gunman but each other

You ever think about how the Mafia boss in The Rocketeer has higher ethical standards than everyone who attended the WHCD

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

the administration that ran on a platform of “political violence kicks ass and we’re gonna do a ton of it” and the media representatives who enthusiastically normalize and promote it would once again like the nation to unite in condemnation of political violence lacking their seal of approval

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

I assume this is pretty much how it went, yeah? youtu.be/OaV9G_eND6U?...

I went to have cocktails to celebrate the giant meat grinder but then someone turned on the giant meat grinder and it was really loud and scary. and you're laughing

I'm not the first to note this but AI psychosis just seems to be "experience what it's like to have yes men" and shows what has happened to any billionaire who has any kind of public profile

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

@gailsimone.bsky.social @muskratjohn.bsky.social has fired a shot

We have a deal. theonion.com/at-long-last...

“Another way to look at this is that billionaires have joined a war on professional administrative class of public servants precisely because of their proximity to formal mechanisms of accountability.” That part! Everything from documentation to compliance mechanisms to whistleblowing is a threat.

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

“The military industrial complex used to uphold colonial ideas is bad” and “individual members of the military should not be subject to starvation while on duty” are not contradictory views unless you have the depth of a goldfish I’m so sorry

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

Shame on DoorDash for participating in Trump’s “no taxes on tips” scam. Aside from their D.C. DoorDash “Grandma” being a GOP operative from Arkansas, it’s mathematically impossible for her to have saved $11,000 in taxes this year as a result of Trump’s bullshit bill.

So once again a man started a wildly successful harassment campaign against a female celebrity who didn’t actually do anything and the internet swallowed it full throated, and the whole thing is revealed to be concocted horseshit he can’t muster anything more than “sorry that happened I guess”

Markwayne Mullin appears to be scaling back the visibility of ICE agents in enforcement, saying he’d “love to see” ICE spend more time doing “transport” and less on the “front line.” One way to do that is by paying local police to take on more of the investigations and arrests of immigrants.
