*saying affirmations in the mirror* I am a big horse. I am a beautiful horse with powerful legs. I am fifteen hands tall. No one can catch me because of my powerful horse legs and wild nature. I have all the apples I want

Except, this isn't a boycott. This is a mass transfer from one war loving brand to another war loving brand, enacted by a pro-AI faction of centrist effective altruists.

I might resume drinking for 24 hours

“Growing up near corn” not a disqualification from serious opinion, but neither is it a qualification

I ain't reposting Jesse Singal onto the TL but it is truly hilarious to see that little shitbird try and do a "I'm just a simple country transphobe" act by bemoaning how many people with "fancy letters and titles after their names" (IE doctors and lawyers and scientists) who disagree with him

just listened to a very interesting emergency episode of the rest is politics, which was particularly insightful about using fake evidence to launch an illegal war

Joani Reid who suggested Corbyn was a Russian asset despite zero evidence? Her husband? Ah fuck, she's gonna be LIVID. metro.co.uk/2026/03/04/l...

Like the dreadful lyrics of a non-charting single by a ridiculous, 1980s z-list metal band whose audience consists solely of 12 years boys who will later twist their cringing impotence and insurmountable ineffectuality into a hatred for women, foreigners, and people who are smarter than them.

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

he grew up in a suburb outside of philadelphia and as soon as he graduated from high school he joined a special forces unit in an occupying apartheid colony where he led numerous military campaigns to kill people in lebanon and occupied palestine. his adult life is defined by seeking out conflicts.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

If you want a fun thing in the midst of all this, here’s a s** positive song with a singing robot youtu.be/IkiwfMsGxl8

Has the world changed or have I changed?

Have fun typing "the government should regulate corporate platforms, not punish users" ten million times in this designed-to-catch-you-out "consultation" that they will not listen to, but do it anyway because they need to get the message.

everything theyre saying now they said during iraq

Wonder if the “Campus left” or Thomas Friedman was more correct about the outcomes of the Iraq or Afghan wars? 🤔 Perhaps we should base who we listen to on their previous track record.

I know many of you already know this because it’s obvious but you can absolutely take a survey of an opinion desk’s output over time and pretty accurately surmise the views—or at least the intentions—of the people who are in charge of deciding what gets published. I thought we were all adults here

People are betting on wars rn

A New York Times person did a thread saying the paper platformed all sorts of opinions it disagreed with, calling people media illiterate. This thread is one of the kinder responses

When I was young they used to go to the effort of lying to you about the need for their illegal war first, these lazy bastards didn't even fake one dossier or pressure a single weapons expert to kill himself, it's insulting

In “the most English” news, I was so engrossed in this typically repellant story about billionaire failson David Ellison and his parade of dreadful berks that I forgot to stop pouring my tea.

Stupid, evil motherfuckers.

“see muted replies” is always a real “dead dove do not eat” situation for me

I'm kind of in between Bouie and Martin on this. Martin is making good, important points, the thread is essential reading. Major news organizations being owned by a billionaire conservative activists is very bad. The biggest independent/nonprofit media have a tiny sliver of audience, comparitively.

Reform on 13% of the registered vote seems about right and this is with all the major media and parties painting them as THE alternative As always, far-right support is limited and its mainstreaming comes from the mainstream elite who try to use it as a distraction from their failures

@nogenius.bsky.social I have that t shirt too

Feels a bit like victim blaming but ok

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

my wife’s instagram feed is just nice animals being cute and some gentle arts and crafts and i can’t help noticing how much happier she is than me

But I don't want to own physical media! I don't want to have to store a bunch of physical objects in order to be able to watch something every ten years or so! I just want a digital infrastructure that is artist and fan friendly

Replies to this are a good demonstration of how we treat "ability to organise" as a moral value and treat "inability to organise" as at best pitiable and at worst disgusting. This is why ADHD leads to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, they roll their eyes at you because you are bad and nobody likes you

Look, I’m by no means an expert on this topic, but all evidence points to this guy being an absolute fucking rube, dipshit, huckster and dipshit

it sucks how mamdani is probably going to have to not laugh at this

Your Monday reminder that this rules

The utterance of "A.I.'s inevitability" is one of the most stark pure performatives I've seen in my time working in higher ed. Every time it is uttered, it is clearly not reporting a fact about the world but instead actively trying to create the reality it narrates. We can and must refuse.

To Mike's sage words I'll add what's increasingly clear: Many suits also believe that an experience where anything you ask for magically appears on a screen is a new kind of game. But that's a completely different (and inverted) mode of entertainment, with another audience of unknown size.

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...
