THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

one unexpected outlook change from being a dad is taking the self care people 10x more seriously when it comes to dealing with weirdly directed anger and rage (including Online). many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers

I’m going to try to get back on my bullshit of watching the sunset at the beach every night. Like come on man.

okay let's do a thread of FUN ONLY, no-stress, low-stakes New Year's Resolutions that are designed not to make you become a Better™️ Person™️ but purely to increase the amount of happiness in your life in 2026 I'm going to learn Polish folk embroidery and I want to DM at least a one-shot of something

that's a lot of gender affirming care Nick is looking for, there.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

I must watch this now

The number of times I have belted #17 off-key in front of the bathroom mirror. My God. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k2I...

Yall remember when the inside of cars used to look like this

Nothing about this quote about a “ballroom” suggests “peaceful transfer of power.”

A “grand experiment” that has been reviewed by no IRB, no ethics board, despite its life and death stakes for us—individually and collectively. Why I will fight tooth and nail to keep this poison out of my classrooms

A good polemic is something you love to hate, and that is a form of reverence.

Lived experience matters. Job experience and earned skill matter. They aren't everything, but they matter. Hearing cis people report on trans people is often like reading a high school English paper. You might learn something you don't know, but your odds are better reading the work of a pro.

jeremy strong in the springsteen movie looks like they made an oscar bait minions adaptation

please bring back the lyme vaccine. i deserve it. i do not want lyme. i will accept fake knee pain for the vaccine. thank you.

Y’all ever walk into a public restroom and immediately whisper “Jesus Christ”

The largest generation in U.S. history is in their 70s now. And Stephen Miller’s podcaster wife thinks it’s suspicious that there’s a huge surge in home health aides.

Great post about generative AI. Happy Holidays. Don't say I never gave you anything. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Again,

The shorter version of every Miller post is "I'm not just a White Nationalist. I'm also an idiot."

I think this might be enough to make edits work. be a big change though

It's a reliable *shocked Pikachu face* line for audiences, but I have to explain that when we started archiving Ukrainian cultural heritage websites, the instability of the power grid in the Bay Area was a bigger impediment and risk than Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.

Carrying water for generative ai is so wild to me like tech daddy doesn’t care and will never love you kiddo.

tired: everything's computer wired: fewer things will be computer

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

this is very funny

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

I just want you all to know that if someone tries to get you to take this shit seriously? Violence is in fact the answer.

It's also sort of funny that the argument here is basically "corporate jobs aren't fulfilling" but it's framed as if that's only true for women and specifically because of baby-raising and not just the reality of the workplace

We’ve done it: we’ve created the robot that lets you kick yourself in the balls from the beloved sci-fi cautionary tale “Do Not Create The Robot That Lets You Kick Yourself In The Balls.”

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

idk how a year can be so intensely great and fulfilling and wonderful, but simultaneously so draining and difficult and kind of extremely rough lmao. the good outweighs the bad by a LOT but GOD. starting to think Real Friends in your 30s might be more crucial to survival than they are in your teens

most of us had a better day than he did but it really sucks he gets to be in charge of anything!

How does Good King Wencelas like his pizza? Deep pan, crisp and even.

this just reminded me how playlist stories are my favorite things

Toad found a frying pan in the kitchen. “I will hit that big animal with this,” said Toad. “All of his teeth will fall out.”

counterpoint: if you’re white and all it takes for you to abandon anti-racism is hearing words you don’t like, you were never an anti-racist and your feelings don’t matter in the fucking slightest

still my favorite christmas post

The U.S. has normalized road fatilities. 40,000 killed each year—the equivalent of 110 jumbo jets crashing—and we just think it ia normal. We build our cities and towns for dumbass trucks and SUVs rather than kids and families, and call it "freedom."

Tater tots / With their eyes all aglow 🎶

blessings upon the redditor who tracked down this post because my spouse made gravy as part of our xmas eve feast & therefore “lol gravé” has been an intrusive thought in my head all day

blue states should create escrow accounts into which citizens pay their federal taxes but are withheld by the state until the federal government stops acting like its only obligated towards states that support the maga agenda

Universities are combining departments, eliminating programs, pushing AI, buying out tenured profs and moving from cheap labor to the cheapest most exploited labor imaginable
