I love this so much. Dale was a real one: www.espn.com/auto/story/_...

massive attack is misnamed they should really have been called gentle approach thank you I'll be here all week

"how dare you interpret 'MY GOAL IS TO ELIMINATE EVERY LINE OF C AND C++ FROM MICROSOFT BY 2030" as if it had a plain language meaning, so disingenuous"

I think I might never be this undefeated again!

I feel this is relevant to @scalzi.com 's interests.

I think Enzor-Demeo being part of Mozilla is a gray zone. This gray:

fucking insane shit. windows will never work properly again www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

Next time BSky claims there's no algorithm and they don't manipulate things... Ask them why Epstein Files, Greenland Policy, and various other trends embarrassing to Nazis mysteriously disappear from trending despite hundreds or thousands of posts still being made about them. Go ahead. Ask.

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Btw this is one of the biggest reasons why it’s not as easy as people think to start up independent newsrooms or just be an indie journalist on substack. If you are actually holding powerful and rich people to account, you WILL need legal representation. Not a matter of whether but when

Thinking it’s impossible for a person to be cartoonishly evil, completely corrupt, AND a bumbling incompetent on the order of a Scooby Doo villain is a crazy take during the Era of Donald J. Trump, who is relentlessly all three.

Thanks to a tipper who pointed out that Sangie of Inkedfur pled guilty to his crime. It happened right as I was composing the story so it wasn't seen until now. Legal docs: www.govinfo.gov/app/details/...

Kavanaugh tries to put the "Kavanaugh Stops" genie back in the bottle

Here's an article I wrote earlier this year detailing why Trump's broligarch buddies are so interested in Greenland It boils down to three things: Crypto, Network States, and Climate Change Data substack.com/home/post/p-...

The dissolution of the Heritage Foundation and liquidation of its assets will be bloodless if the few remaining fascist swine allow it to be.

Hell. We are in hell.

Genuinely shocked at a rule-of-law based result from this Court.

Hey BSky. If you're a customer of a certain Tier 1 server vendor (you can guess who) and have been told your service plan either no longer covers your RDIMMs fully or that you can only have half capacity or less as a replacement, go ahead and slide me a DM please.

This, people, is the biggest, brightest, reddest flag you can possibly imagine and then some. 2023-2024 was 200%. 2024-2025 was 1400%. This is literally screaming that people VERY rapidly are unable to afford basic necessities, and are turning to predators like Klarna in desperation.

The private credit explosion continues: According to the Financial Times, “private credit firms snapped up nearly 14 times as much consumer debt this year as in 2024, piling into riskier areas such as credit cards and buy now, pay later debt.” This shift raises interesting questions, ... 1 of 4

Great time to fork WP 6.8 and take it in a non-sloppy direction!

This victim told a driver that she couldn't report Trump raping her because "They will kill me." In 2021, another victim said that Epstein told her girls who don't behave are fed to alligators and took her where they die. He threatened to kill her and her son.

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Narrator: (dramatically) Through this magical door is a world of myths and legends. Me: Like a four day work week and universal healthcare? Narrator: No, this is a fantasy story, so like dragons and shit. Me: Can the door go to a place that respects creativity? Narrator: Dude. Give me a break.

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

I covered this in my premium last week, it’s laughable! www.wheresyoured.at/ai-mythbuste...

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

They did what now? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/s...

Golden rules about conspiracies: A bunch of people can't keep a secret. They certainly can't keep a secret for years. Groups of people, especially in the Trump administration, are not sophisticated at faking things. And what purpose would a fake letter like this serve? Logically, it's probably real.

it's just so emblematic of what passes for conservative thought, this belief that their children go to college not to leave ignorance behind by learning from experts, but rather to teach the experts from their locus of ignorance, and to have their nonsensical prior assumptions validated as true

This is as easy a test of your belief in the American system as is conceivable: Should this be an acceptable argument from a president?

Look, I made a public promise that each time I stumble on one of those "How dare you enjoy any aspect of life when people are miserable?" posts, I post more Cobra Kai stuff, because it just don't get more trivial and unimportant. (Complimentary) So, here you go: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPzu...

Oh.

People, I'm BEGGING you: If you are going to share that leaked 60 minutes segment, INCLUDE SOME COMMENTARY in your post that makes it necessary for readers to have access to the full video to understand the commentary. CBS has a deep black eye over this and the odds that they'll look to punish ppl

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

it's so good that it's from international syndication going out as scheduled rather than a leaker. she's incompetent at literally everything, even killing stories on her own network. she set up the situation perfectly to make sure it's impossible to blame anyone other than her.

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

Good news, someone ripped my video and put it on the Internet Archive. If you're having trouble downloading from Filemail, here it is: archive.org/details/60mi...

The instrument that one would use to measure this level of failure is called a Bariometer

Fun fact: You cannot play this video on YouTube anymore, but if you drop that YouTube link to ytdown.to/en2/ you can download full video.

This is infuriating. Thanks to Adam for a wonderfully comprehensive account of how the Roberts court is attacking the Civil War amendments to the constitution 1/

This is terrible. And Angeles Crest Highway is a menace, especially on the weekends. Some fantastic hiking places along it but you take your life in your hands driving it because of people treating it like a speedway.

it's odd to see the people who can accurately assess Bari Weiss isn't a good journalist and failed upward into her role as chief brunchlord, but can't take the additional leap to realize this is part of an active plot by extraction class media ownership to actively destroy journalism and consensus
