Just seen that “AI is punk” take and… gosh. Was not aware that “counter-culture” in 2026 meant participating in a trillion dollar industry pushed by the world’s most valuable companies and the world’s most powerful nation.

guy who is addicted to having dirty smudges on his forehead year round: you know what they say bro it's ash wednesday somewhere

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

People are still pushing for the $15 minimum wage, and we're well past the point that's a livable wage in many areas.

setting aside the fact that many DAWs and other music tools are available for free or very low prices, tools like this are only free for now because their costs are being subsidized by investors. once that capital dries up and they have to price their product profitably, nobody's gonna pay

My partner sent me a link to a fashion influencer (who admittedly has a style I do like) so I think he is sick of my only wearing tshirts and this one merino sweater over and over and over again.

I know I'd look super cute in overalls or a jumpsuit but honestly I have trouble even dealing with having a tucked in shirt. I just need access to under my shirt from below for some reason. Maybe cause I'm such an itchy dude.

i keep banging this drum but the shift away from forums and chat rooms (heavily moderated for bullshit but leeway to actually call people out) to social media (policing tone not rhetoric) has been one of the biggest factors in unleashing a machine on the public that overloads them with shit.

I've been spending a minimum of 12 hours a day talking to my AI girlfriend companion before realizing it was just a picture of Linda Ronstadt in the 70s

I know this is a long shot but a very important stuffed animal was lost this morning at Newark Airport (2/14/26). Last seen being put in a bin at TSA Security check in Terminal C. After that we took the shuttle to Terminal A. We didn’t clock his absence until we got to the gate.

Supporting Gavin Newsom in the primary is announcing that you'll step over the dead bodies of trans people and unhoused people to get what you personally want. It's a character defect. We can't be friends.

people are like ‘but teenagers don’t need a living wage’ to justify not paying a living wage for jobs that teenagers tend to do. but really teenagers should just not be working FULL TIME hours. the hourly pay should still add up to a living wage if you work 40 hours.

i got an instagram ad in spanish selling autoclaves so i don’t know maybe i’m not being surveiled all that well.

What if I told you outlook that an email subject is already a summary of an email

so, i figured it was bobby moynihan but i checked wikipedia just in case. and its still probably him. and I knew there were a few murderers on the list, but I didn’t know the guy who abused linda lovelace and forced her to be in deep throat was on the list. so that’s interesting.

how often do I have to sign in to steam for it to not think I'm signing in from a new device and making me put in a verification code sent to my email?

i love the sticky toffee pudding critic. great work

had to log back into the Bad Place to bring this over

need one of those german train-car noun constructions for ‘the sense of betrayal a woman suffers when a thinker who was hugely influential to her turns out to be the same bog standard worthless misogynist as everyone else’

Early internet, the sage advice was "don't read the comments." Then at some point, our genius overlords said, "okay what if the entire internet was ONLY the comments?"

they're 'investigating' the lyrics. they heard they were "real bad". worse than a bare boob on network tv somehow!

I want someone to run on the platform that they won’t deport anyone and also will give us an actual functional train system all over this country.

[smacks the top of the government] we can fit so many nazis in this thing

Someone please explain to me, a stupid old man, how a budgeting app for teens can be worth a billion dollars? Is it pushing them high interest credit cards? Getting them to gamble on crypto/options trading? It can't just be a budgeting app.

Pure evil at work, folks.

“Ring uses AI to help find lost dogs” yup it probably stops there, sounds fine

this is a bbc archive reposting account now. anyway, I cued this one up because while this child is definitely -not- me, they match my energy, and honestly look kinda like me. youtu.be/q3jPktKBumY?...

why is bulletin board functionality so much better than chatroom functionality? I miss bb's so much, it feels like every way of communicating online now is either blog-style (bluesky, tumblr, reddit kinda) where something is posted and there are comments or chatroom style (discord).

anyone want to come over? we can stand across from each other and do this

Secure your own squid first before helping others. (I'm disproportionately proud of this drawing.)

every single initial statement they make is a lie. every one.

it’s fucking crazy that wallets are gendered.

well as long as they were adult women being trafficked from russia and ukraine there’s nothing to see here

a few days ago joe showed me a pro bog bodies anti ice thing cause he was surprised but i was like, a lot of folks like bog bodies! so like the opposite of the comic but i think the comic does prove my point.

Oh good, an abyssal churro

Schumer and Jeffries must resign immediately.

please watch the first 30 seconds of this video. as someone unfamiliar with the subject matter, it sounds completely bonkers and gave me a good laugh. you can watch the rest of the video also, it's not as funny but still interesting.

Billions of people are certain they're religion is the correct one but *I'm* the weirdo when I insist that my cat is literally and objectively the world's most handsome little gentleman.

Minuteman Salsa (2006-2008): A line of jarred salsa produced and marketed as an expression of anti-immigration sentiments (editorial: a tacky, inflammatory, culture war grift). Boasting that it was made "with 100% American ingredients", 1/4 of profits went to (white supremacist) militia groups
