"I can use AI to say congratulations to my team on a recent win" Sorry, but that feels so insincere and empty. Using AI has completely taken all of the emotion out of the expression.

But I just heard it was definitely NOT that

There sure are a lot of Freudian slips with some of these Republicans today…

"We moved to Dubai for the political stability of the region" is honestly one of the wildest things I've heard recently.

Did Morehouse hire a supercomputer as its new president? Details at 11.

Honestly, I'm just waiting for Flock to get in on this. Roping in either Meta devices or creating their own to increase their web spread

Did we just get into a slap fight with a near-nuclear power in the Middle East, for no reason, where hundreds, if not thousands, will die? Sure feels like it. Those Epstein Files must be REAL REAL bad

"Unhappy with killing Caribbean fishermen and US citizens, the administration turned their focus across the globe, killing school children a world away"

Remember when people were unironically arguing that Trump was playing 3D chess? Haven't heard from those people in ages

Me, talking to my wife this morning, about all of the overnight events and context for them:

Who out here being crushed by the overwhelming ratio of absolutely horrible news, to neutral news, let alone good news?

So how many wars are we counting now, if we net out globally destabilizing events? I'm sure they are probably saying like 20 wars at this point, because nothing matters anymore

(Derogatory)

Happy to know the AI most famous for not being able to count the number of "r" instances in the word "strawberry" is now running the brand new "Departmemt of War" which has exclusively been murdering fisherman and doing bad workouts, to this point.

Is it just Fun Friday or do I feel like some BlueSky real life meetups need to happen soon. That was always a magical part of FinTwit, which I dipped my toe into right before the exodus

This is a very specific @gwestr.me and @peark.es targeted skeet

Trying to convince my boomer neighbors that, actually we don’t need a parking deck built in downtown to alleviate parking constraints. AND actually we have TOO MUCH parking in our core, already. It’s not going well…

Eat the bugs! Eat the bugs! Eat the bugs!

I'm pretty sure I did this in college, a couple of times. The trick is to make sure you don't pick like Dogfish Head 120 minute as the beer, or some giant taco. Otherwise, piece of cake.

"The Department of War will always adhere to the law" while out here murdering people by blowing up boats, including an American citizen now. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A wonderful reminder, in times of “rebellion,” courtesy of the book I’m reading (Morning Star by Pierce Brown). You cannot fight for the dead and gone. While it may get you out of your own way, you must fight for the living, and the future. Because it is they who will benefit from today’s struggle

Welp, the Block layoffs were big enough to spur a discussion tonight with non terminally online people. First thing in a while that has people scared

You love to see it. Finally someone growing a damn backbone.

4 unique transactions at #$COST today. Unfortunately I'm sure I'm bringing the average basket size down because of it. Also the mint sundae is meh. The mint isn't overpowering, which is good but I think switching the swirl flavor from chocolate to mint ice cream will be a mistake

Every day I say "Well that seems fucking bad" and hope that it's the last time I say it. Unfortunately there are usually a few more times in the same day, and then it repeats the day after.

"Law enforcement lies, and is allowed to, but everything you say will be used against you" is like 101 level stuff for simply existing in this hellscape right now, unfortunately.

When someone you haven’t spoken to in years decides to break their streak of being quiet, by dropping a Jordan Peterson quote video:

Old Google: Don’t be evil. Anthropic/Claude: We aren’t cool with our tech being used to murder boaters in the Caribbean, among other horrible things. Gemini/New Google: Fuck them boats!

"Now let's get on with fact checking all of the claims from the SOTU last night. THEY WERE ALL LIES OR GROSS EXAGGERATIONS! This concludes the fact checking portion of the coverage"

"What would you like for your birthday?" To shuffle the coils of ever growing dread over the increasing chances of our society's downfall, and return to a sense of hope and optimism for the future I want to leave my child with. "Um..." I guess a pickleball backstop would be nice too

Put it on the Corey smokestack, you cowards

I need TopGolf (or someone similar) to make a 9 hole course that includes driving into a simulator to start each hole, then incorporate some sort of chipping aspect, into a wild and fun mini golf putt to finish. You could even mix and match components.

Based on the lack of poasting this morning, it seems like the SOTU was a boring snooze fest, which is good. Unfortunately it’s because if you removed all of the lies and exaggerations, there was only like 5m of content over 2 hours.

I saw a post about a “Trump Dump Detector” feed. And while I don’t think it’s real (a supposed thermal feed that could show a diaper deposit), the fact that it could be says A LOT about the state of things right now.

Damn it, Amazon. I have Prime. Why do I need to buy +$25 to get free shipping?!

Has anyone stopped to ask themselves why they would feel the need to watch the State of the Union live? What is so important that it can't wait until later? There is literally no benefit to seeing it live, unless you need to report on it directly. Just don't watch! Your life will be better!

Congratulations to Kash, for what?! He didn't do shit

The Boomers in my neighborhood Facebook group are fighting about property values, and I’m about to get myself in trouble by pointing out that they are all clearly a few decades out from the real estate market

If a job is requiring an on-site component (either full time or hybrid), it should be required to disclose the address in the posting. I will die on this undisclosed hill.
