of all the actions this administration may take, seizing Greenland feels by far the most terrifying

made the mistake of trying to buy a small tin of tea from a french company online (for my wife for Christmas) and was contacted by fedex to register an account with the FDA and create a government account and associated paperwork to get a fucking tin of tea and now i understand the revolutionary war

we only do one thing and we just keep doing it

This is cool as hell

my dad is less and less impressed with Trump, and he was a true believer. the cracks are forming in maga

in this house we rebuke eywa

This article on A Little Life (a profound book) and how the internet has destroyed our relationship with literature (and media) is a good piece. open.substack.com/pub/soitgoes...

I need to post more. This is my New Year’s resolution. Just when people are starting to give up the internet, I’m gonna dive back in

put Varang in Fortnite

It needs to be said that the Get Played group chat has been talking about Varang from Avatar: Fire and Ash for days and there is no end in sight. Varang Gang rise up.

question I just asked the group chat: is Varang the first female villain in a major genre movie that isn’t cringe

is “Avatar” as a title changing meanings as the series progresses . . . . . . . spoiler . . . . . is it now a reference to Kiri being the avatar of Eywa

Gonna see if I can modernize this guy a little bit.

this is a Varang account now

no joke. my dad is hunched over his phone reading the news; he’s been quiet all morning until he says without looking up “what’s a gooner.”

Search terms include “inbred body” “pharaoh syndrome nudes” “wrong hip to shoulder ratios sexy pics” “looks like an AI corpse but is real”

I have it

the craziest thing about this is that all art generated is canonical

ai subreddits are locked in a race to see who can finally trick the system into rendering a vagina and it really says something about, i dunno, basically everything that’s happening in the world

This song by Victor Jones is good music.apple.com/us/album/i-g...

It’s time for some real facts. There was once a company who offered a job for $45.00/hour for an entry position. The catch? You had to sit in waist deep sewage and your top half had to be on fire. Only one person, a single mother of three, took the job. That’s a life lesson called integrity.

Jacquie was one in a million, a truly great person and business partner — which is fully evidenced by her leaving the industry all together to become a social worker. She’ll be so so missed. deadline.com/2025/12/jacq...

"There's nothing like waking up, feeling like shit and knowing why. Whereas now I wake up and I feel like shit and it is a mystery. I'm like "What did i do this time? Why would I feel like this?" - @heathercampbell.bsky.social on hangovers #getplayed

gender panic is so dumb. imagine being angry at your dog for laying on a sofa like a cat. so mad about it that you try to pass a law to regulate how your dog is laying around. so furious you make it your whole personality.

trump on the set of Doomsday

You know how lead poisoning may be responsible for serial killers, etc? That part of the reason the 60’s and 70’s were wild was nobody knew how much damage was being done by lead?

why do Waymos have windshield wipers

as the homo sapien crushes pigment with water on the cave floor, then presses his hand to the stone and spreads the ink across its surface, marking the cave for thousands of years — he thinks “I can’t wait till this can be done with a.i.”

dystopian likelihood: using AI to map the acting of a trained actress onto a different, “hotter” face and body

i know i'm probably one of the few people who is still using Vision Pro regularly, so this missive is only going to be of interest to like, one other person -- but the new dual knit band is fucking perfect. Better than the ResMed, I think. The loop around the back of the head is weighted!

if it’s true that Disney is rereleasing the original unedited Star Wars to theaters, the first enormous cheer in those screenings is gonna be Han shooting first

i really don't think there's going to be another proper xbox. i think it's clear that microsoft is going to be Games Pass service, available on everything except Nintendo's systems

Remember those times i said we were headed for an epistemic crisis because bad people were gonna use deepfakes to make propaganda & conspiracy theories & destabilize consensus reality-making & how the central paradigm of "generative AI" enables, encourages, & was indeed built on this premise? Yeah.

if the interview with Adam Driver about the Hunt for Ben Solo movie was a trial balloon by Disney to gauge interest (and position the fandom as champions of a movie that didn’t get made, until they ‘made it happen’), then consider me a focus group sample when I say please give us this movie

so, given that anyone under 18 doesn't give a shit about the ethics of using AI, and the ease with which Sora lets you make content, do we really think that adults bashing AI is going to somehow prevent the next generation of creative people from using these theft / remixing engines?

remember when nothing happened after the Wall Street Journal reported that the goddamned President drew a young girl in a birthday card about how he and Epstein were pedophiles together? fucking nothing www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

i'm not gonna act like i'm horrified by trump's destruction of the east wing. who gives a shit rip the whole white house down

“We put notifications inside your sandwich,” declares Meta CEO to roaring applause. “Now when you bite into that BLT, you’ll taste a WhatsApp message from a user you don’t know!”

I’m really torn on this stuff. It’s obvious it’s shared because it’s “funny,” and provocative — and to take it seriously plays into the hands of the provocateurs who are trying to exhaust us with bullshit. But to ignore it allows them to desensitize us to our own perceptions.

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

This song is incredible. Looking at her other videos, I think this woman is a generational genius. www.tiktok.com/@annabellesa...

seeing a guy popular enough to win an election -- and instead of endorsing him, you're like, "No, his positions are not aligned with mine, therefore I won't endorse him -- because even though he's in my own party, he shouldn't be popular and the people voting for him are wrong, too."

Love this chart from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas that includes two lines for financial outcomes of the A.I. Singularity (wherein self-improving A.I. immediately becomes god-like). One line shows a benign outcome, where GDP increases; the other line shows our extinction from the Earth.
