people keep getting mad at me for being absolutely correct about this

Right wing violence doesn't occur in a vacuum, and there are a lot of people who are fine with the outcome of that violence even if they don't like having to see it. Mass incarceration, gentrification, and the surveillance state are bipartisan projects in service of that violence.

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

we are weeks away from 'Trump attempts to make horse a Senator' and the only thing stopping him is that he is too much of a sociopath to form an attachment to animals

For an upcoming story, I'd like to hear from people who have had an encounter with a stranger recording them on Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses. If that's you or you can pass along this request to someone else who has experienced this, I'm at [email protected] or millionbear.44 on Signal. Thanks!

Me: Dril. Dril. Dril. People on my table: Dril. DRIL. DRIL. Everyone on the canteen, banging tables: DRIL. DRIL. DRIL. DRIL.

Come for the touching remembrance of a great artist and man, stay for the inebriated Rip Torn cameo

I am sure there are toxic David Lynch fans out there but in general I feel like it’s a pretty good and interesting fandom because we argue about whether or not an entire movie is about a line Lynch read in the Upanishads or if he just really likes bunny rabbits and wanted more rabbits

It's real.

Unionize. Everybody needs a union.

Pain at the pump 🎶 Feel like a chump 🎶 Just checked the news 🎶 Outbreak of Mumps 🎶

We need a Joe Rogan of the left, shut up we need new Rod Serling, let’s get on that shit.

I expect to like GTA VI quite a bit, but I think it would be better for society (and especially the games industry) if it underperformed or even flopped.

Wow sounds like this Claude guy really fucked up, interested to see him held accountable.

When I was a teen I loved A Knight's Tale because Shannyn Sossamon is hot. Now that I'm wiser and have read Chaucer, I appreciate that all the characters are hot

Fuck Graham Platner Fuck Gavin Newsom

I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

The reason you need a strong, evidence-based public health authority is exactly because that information needs to be conveyed accurately and with tact. How effective do you think a doctor telling a parent they HAVE to vaccinate will be if there's no enforcement outside that office?

It is unfortunately a slog to watch.

If other people's children are fair targets in war, then so are yours.

no fucking way they put the last jedi in there

Israel is extensively bombing the suburban area of Dahiya, south of Beirut. This is the namesake of the 'Dahiya Doctrine', a strategy whereby the IDF targets civilians and civilian infrastructure to put political pressure on governments they don't like. It's literally the definition of a war crime.

Ueda-heads rise up!

And this is the big one for me. Even if there weren't two dudes I have no interest in supporting potentially involved, there's no story from this universe that feels fresh or essential in 2026 or later

"you're in a media bubble" motherfucker i can see his resume and nazi iconography with my own two eyes, eat shit

once again: the male loneliness epidemic is misogyny. it is manufactured. it is completely separate from the actual loneliness everyone is experiencing right now.

Jane Schoenbrun's INFINITE JEST (a limited series event)

Malcolm X in 1964:

people who are like “communism is for white people” never have an answer to the fact that property is definitionally the white man’s game

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

I hope Nate Silver appreciates his true legacy

Deputy Secretary of State Odie could not be reached for comment

sad news: nermal has been killed by an iranian drone attack on abu dhabi. an innocent victim of a senseless war

Yeah, the facts here are monstrous.
