"AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed" so succinct! so good!

But rest assured it will be able to inform the masses that a meat's kosherness depends on the religion of the cow.

i had an opinion about the new tswift record after all www.patreon.com/posts/140377...

I wonder if I would’ve picked a different major in college if I knew there’d be a civil war

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

wizard frog is insane

“Goering shouted, ‘This [the Reichstag fire] is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very night be strung up.’” - Rise & Fall of the Third Reich, p 139

If you watch closely, you'll see they're doing this opposite an actual funeral procession.

In the late 2010s, I was friendly with some people who were in the room during the meetings where Apple decided what its Siri should look and sound like. They argued that voice-activated tools should not be built to sound like women because it would propagate misogyny. They were overruled.

A telling aspect of Vance’s attitude is the idea that freedom is something that isn’t an inherent right, naturally bestowed upon us, but something you must be thankful for. Thankful to who? Who gives you freedom? Who can take it away?

No it doesn’t, that’s you doing that

The fact that Dave Chapelle is complaining about free speech while performing in Saudi Arabia really speaks to the way wealth and status distorts your brain.

I’m the new poetry editor of whatever your favorite magazine is.

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

it's so funny that Greenblatt bent over backwards to these people and annihilated his organization's credibility with anyone left of center to get absolutely nothing from the right

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

What if we just started a new government and started using that one instead

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

I wish I had hotter takes

oh to be perfect and normal in an unexplained black void

“If The Best American Poetry captures ‘the zeitgeist of the current attitudes in American poetry,’ we should be asking: Why are those attitudes so fucked up?” @nicksturm.bsky.social in @defector.com https://defector.com/good-riddance-to-the-best-american-poetry

AI is clearly the future

*someone points a gun in my face* Here’s a thought. Try shooting the high cost of living.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Is anything good happening

Rare publication news! You can find me (maybe more than once 👀) in the forthcoming issue of @the-engine-idling.bsky.social , The Urge An honor to be back in one of my favorite publications. This theme is guaranteed to be a banger. Do tune in.

Is it that the FBI is so stupid that they can’t think of a convincing anti-ICE slogan or that they don’t trust the literacy skills of the public to be able to read anything even slightly less than literal?

half-remembering that thing about how most Roman citizens experienced the fall of Rome as simply one day their local bridge went out and nobody came around to repair it

Why is he dressed like a Black Hebrew Israelite

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

Great now I have to figure out why everyone is talking about Tylenol. I’m sure there’s a dumb reason.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

Absolutely shattering details in this Sun-Times piece chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/09...

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

I wonder what conservative talking head Jimmy Fallon will have on now

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

One of the most exhausting parts of creeping fascism is that it forces you to feel passionately about people like Jimmy Kimmel

if kimmel is edgy we are so fucked

Does anyone want to give me a giant cash prize

Well, what do Germans know about creeping fascism anyway?

excited for this trend to continue when 30 years from now Nick Fuentes takes a principled stance against the policies of President Triple Hitler, a clone containing the souls of three Hitlers in a single body

Our affiliates have made it very clear they expect Mr. Kimmel to apologize for his speech and unapologize for his blackface.

I’m still dealing with this. As I walk around campus, I’m collecting various debris on my shoes, katamari-like.

The most liberal thing you can do is become more conservative

On my way to teach a class, I accidentally stepped on a giant glue trap left in front of the door. I tried to pry it off my shoe with my other foot, only to end up with both feet stuck on the trap.

Kind of embarrassing that Dracula was stuck as a count

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

DO NOT RSVP FOR A PROTEST, ESPECIALLY NOW. SERIOUSLY.
