“That’s so funny. What did Tom say then? …. Haha. Oh man. I bet Joe had a great and-one on that. …Yep. Classic Joe.” -me talking to my AI assistant who is summarizing an episode of Anime Sickos podcast

It feels like certain types of guys are unable to take in information in solitude. It has to be a conversation, explanations tailored to their thought patterns, with someone they perceive as servile to them. They can’t read an email: someone has to tell them what it says, even if it’s incorrect.

If, being incredibly charitable, you didn’t intend to make a CSAM robot, not immediately turning off the CSAM robot when you find out you accidentally made a CSAM robot should still get you put in the magnetic boots prison from Face/Off

WOW!!!!!!!

the Station fire happened in 2003 and nobody has managed to learn a single thing in all this time. don't work at clubs with acoustic foam on the ceilings and a bunch of candles everywhere. don't go to these clubs. the people who own them do not give a shit if you live or die

It's literally always acoustic foam + pyrotechnics in a single exit basement club, I don't even need to read the articles. Dipshit owners killing people with their own idiot negligence

Yelling at my label printer when I hear Rod Serling voice over “meet Sara McHenry, an autistic failure. She spends all day mailing things. But she’s about to be sent to a place where the postage can’t be paid in cash. Postmarked… the Twilight Zone” god damn it. This is the last thing I need!!!!!!

It’s too late, I have already portrayed myself as Chortling Bernie and you as Seething Eric Adams

Like, for the back of a car or maybe a bus.

Seen from Montrose Point on the morning of New Year’s Day 2026, the Chicago skyline with some Canada geese.

(seeing any three dwarves walking abreast through the secret entrance to my gold horde) well well well if it isn't Jackoff, Whackoff, and Beatoff

In 2026 I resolve to spend more time waiting for 2FA codes and typing them into the same four websites I visit every day from my 10-year-old computer at my IP address that hasn't changed in twice that long.

A message for you all to carry through the year

In 2025 I figured some shit out about myself and everything got a little bit easier. In 2026 I’m going to become even more annoying and even happier about it 🥰✌🏻

Happy Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City to all who celebrate 😭❤️

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

Outlook for the new year ...

Huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up for neighbors and ran toward the danger in 2025. You’re a light in this dark world. Take a minute to celebrate yourself as you celebrate tonight.

R.I.P. to a legend

"Name a perfect 90s food that isn't pizza, calzones, stromboli, or deep dish" that's you. that's what you sound like. your prompt is dog shit dude

Happy Holidays 🎄🎁

Tom: you were kinda kicking and writhing around in your sleep. Me: ... I was having a dream where I was trying to do an impression of how fast Marty puffs his inhaler in the last episode of Mr. Scorsese.

I heard that tech bros have a derogatory term for a company that sells an actual product but I can’t remember what it is. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Before you reply, know that your joke answer better be really fucking good

how it feels when another thing adds AI features

Fifteen years ago I felt pretty embarrassed pronouncing a word wrong, but now I’m just boasting like “oh yeah I guess I only know that one from READING it in a BOOK”

I have not been read this year's Yuletide fics because I've spent the last week or so feeling extremely antisocial but this one is fucking incredible archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

Looking good, Chicago.

being 'on the spectrum' can entail a tendency to be grossly underestimated by normies, who take something in your manner as a cue that they're speaking to some dull beast and impose a mandatory hazing period in which they deliberately unsee your competence and charisma. big waste of time and energy.

Thoroughly enjoyed this essay on EYES WIDE SHUT. The pleasure of reading someone smarter than you are articulate a half-formed opinion you've had forever, better than you ever could: www.visual-memory.co.uk/amk/doc/0096...

Me between songs at a live show: “PLAY WHAT’S ALREADY ON THE SET LIST, I’M SURE YOU’VE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH CAREFULLY!”

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.

Omg omg omg omg omg

The grinch is a kind of green gorilla who hates certain things

Everybody hates it and any claims that “this happens with any disruptive tech” are obvious and pathetic cope. Shut down your AI depts and take the L large corporations. This is not it

the problem with dedicating campaign funds toward charitable endeavors is what if you lose and then all you’ve done is helped people in need in your community?

youtube creators, I'm asking once again for you to put a little bit more effort into your captions. Jon Bois your captions are pretty good but so far it thinks "Morse" is "Morris" and "Vail" is either "Vale" or "Veal." Is it that hard to standardize the proper nouns that show up hundreds of times?

oh brother, another bad post from political influencer beltway brian. i am furious at beltway brian all of the time. i share screencaps of beltway brian's posts with people who have no idea who he is. i hate all of beltway brian's posts and i read all of them every single day, including weekends

My new year's resolution this year, as every year, is to be a more available, supportive friend as well as an increasingly looming, formidable enemy.

It’s snowing so the salt truck keeps driving by really loud. The last time it came around, my wife, dead asleep, in the most mocking voice I have ever heard, goes “Look at meee, I’m a maaaaan.”

We found a playlist on youtube of (nearly) complete episodes of MTV's 120 Minutes. Put on the Liz Phair episode from 1994 without thinking about the airdate. It starts with Lewis Largent somberly telling the audience "as I'm sure you all know by now, Kurt Cobain was found dead Friday morning--"
