Breaking some news for @coyotemedia.org here. Incredibly sad about this — some of the best nights of my life have involved this club — but I’m also so honored and grateful to Ramona, Kathleen and Lynn for trusting me with this story. www.coyotemedia.org/san-francisc...

Bringing Out the Dead Watched at a very vulnerable point in my life, melted down emotionally at the end, never want to see it again Good movie though

I cannot overstate the degree to which a socialism that delivers for residents requires a functioning regulatory regime So imo it’s not that weird, really, if you are serious about your goals, to notice that some existing regulations are hurting more than they actually help anyone

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you Hi, I’m MRSA that festered for several days after a clinic essentially told me to walk it off

On the candidate side it’s been obvious for a minute that the hiring market is broken, but on the hiring manager side it’s easier to understand why it’s broken

I know a lot of you aren’t familiar with Lyman, but he is unfortunately taken somewhat seriously as a pronatalist “demographer”, even in mainstream publications, so the fact that he’s posting full Nazi is bad

One of my favorite scam economy facts is that like 95+% of the shit at Nordstrom Rack is essentially fake, ie custom-SKU stuff sold only at Rack that is much worse than what you would get from that brand in other venues

A message for you all to carry through the year

Public Domain Day, baby! web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicd... And, with that, goodnight

This Year is the obvious choice for the occasion, but I maybe like this one even more, which has some self-references to the key line of This Year. Happy 2026 everyone. youtu.be/ePANSrpQAn8?...

Twilight Zone S3E10 “Midnight Sun” is interesting because it pretty much works as climate fiction, even though the mechanism for the climate catastrophe is not the one that we’re actually in the process of creating

If you need something later to send this year packing, and in light of the various MTV music-only channels worldwide shutting down, why not when the B-52s put paid to the 1980s as a whole? (This was recorded November 1989 for later broadcast, but hey, you do what you can.)

Bottom right possibly already covered by S3E31 “Onesies”

Does it *have* to be so tacky all the time?

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

I just watched the Twilight Zone episode Deaths Head Revisited, and it sure is interesting to observe media from a time where the viewers could be assumed to more-or-less unanimously agree that the Nazis were bad

you can infer most of openai's corporate slant via negativa, in that they have prominent e.g. ethics people and economics people resigning in protest on a pretty regular and sometimes dramatic basis futurism.com/artificial-i...

I apologize for going for the obvious here, but sheiiiiiit: variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Stephen what happened at the end of the 1920s

(Extreme troll voice) WALL-E implicitly argues that allowing too large a fraction of productivity gains to go to workers is bad and society is better off if a larger fraction goes to capital

Did we all know that the National Parks are getting in on the xenophobia game? They’ve jacked the price up on the America the Beautiful pass 3x for non-residents/citizens, and added a $100 “nonresident fee” to the entrance fee at the most popular parks

Me literally hiding from a guy I knew in high school in the aisles of my hometown Walmart today Not even that bad a guy! Just not an interaction I wanted to have

For the love of God, Montresor!

Put another way, there seems to be a lot of people who would believe anything in image format. Which is bad.

Hang it up, folks, you will never describe this website better than this

Tbh the load bearing delusion of American society right now is the idea that Joe Biden was in office in 2020

Akiva summarizes the spiked 60 Minutes CECOT segment that leaked (if you haven’t managed to grab it)

Assuming I could afford to lose my job, I think the move here would have to be malicious compliance, ongoing leaks of every offensive thing Bari says, and then leaking the segment when it inevitably gets spiked

I just want to say that it rules that she can’t say anything without it immediately leaking (because everyone who isn’t a toady hates her)

I don’t need a lecture about AI from skeptics, I am not a mindless booster, but for those of you who actually use AI: do we have opinions on qwen?

In Mr Beast’s new video, a woman is alone for two weeks on a platform in the sky. and each day, a balloon is released at an inopportune moment for her. And if she fails to shoot the balloon with an arrow, they take a small portion of the platform that is her home

is that good

I love a union as much as the next guy, (and am currently represented by SEIU in my government job!), but when anti-union people talk about public sector unions negotiating against the interests of the people they are meant to serve, this is what they mean

The Peppa Pig episodes where they go to America are just such an amazing collection of stereotypes of the US, it never fails to amuse me

21. And before team Yglesias responds by saying "yeah, but it's bad politics to run on climate and energy"... I'd point out that I've won 4 elections in a very purple district running on climate and energy. Pro-tip: leadership is possible! You don't have to be stupid to win!

your honor this witness and i agreed we were gonna do a rashomon. like we all say we did the crime alone, you don’t know who to believe, and you’re left deeply disturbed by the inaccessibility of truth. but he’s not doing a rashomon. he’s just corroborating my guilt. its bullshit

Can we as a nation please just decide to apply an adverse inference already

Obviously a focus group is not representative, but this and the next screenshot in the thread seem bad

My Modest Proposal is to demolish the White House and replace it with a building inspired by Philip Johnson’s Glass House, as a monument to transparency

I’ve come around to the position that AI really needs better enemies

It was hard to get Jim Jordan to acknowledge a crime had been committed on his watch? Huh. I'll be darned
