No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"

From a Washington Post story titled "How women feel about Trump’s presidency"

Says the most complaining man in the history of the world who i guarantee is gonna be complaining when he dies

Hi. I’ve been editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue for the last 4.5 years — a dream job, one I never thought a Brown girl from small town Louisiana might hold. I am so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and what we accomplished. Our journalism has won major awards. (cont’d)

We built a team of young Black, Asian, queer, and trans staffers at Teen Vogue, and they deserve the world. They are passionate, whip smart, and incredibly talented. Many of them are now without jobs — please consider donating to their GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/help-laido...

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die

"walking the path of the hater means knowing more about something than people who profess to like it" are words to live by

A lot of people truly don't believe anymore that reading and writing on a mass scale are foundational to democratic society. They think video and streams on corporate platforms can replace that.

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

I've got some new pain in my hip. Getting old is different body parts betraying you on a daily basis

[P] Found a higher-quality photo; IT *IS* TAPED UP SHEETS OF PAPER!

You can't prove to me that's not three 8.5x11 sheets of paper taped to the wall

Looks like Christmas came early this year. Kotaku lays out a surgically effective takedown of this gen-"AI" nonsense. Companies really need to stop throwing mountains of money at this embarrassing fad. kotaku.com/meta-ai-mark...

Forgot that punchbowl was some kinda news site so for a few seconds I thought wow that must have been a pretty crazy accident

It’s a small thing, but I get so mad at the assumption posited by AI that ideas come before writing. No, idiot, writing and beliefs are formed in concert, you fool, you rube. It is only by bothering to try to communicate that I discover who I am.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

Well sir, we don’t put many cowboy hats on sale this time of year. But with Halloween over, we do have one in the remainder bin.

they all write/talk like this now and it feels like a new genre: hate smut; manic, agitated vitriol that reads like it was written while feverishly masturbating to revenge fantasies

Just the face you want to see endorsing your campaign on the eve of the election

Hello sports fans We're the Video Game History Foundation, a non-profit that's helping preserve the history of video games. This year, we launched our digital video game history library!

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

I literally have a slide with a screenshot from Teen Vogue that I've used for talks about climate change and infrastructure all over the world, and I get to give them props for their social and political coverage. Losing it is a loss for all of us, not just young people.

another win for the "destroy anything good" wing of the american media

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

literally me

idk if i’m ever gonna top this one tbh

happy halloween to what many people believed was the greatest tweet of all time

An order of chicken fingers is called a hand. “Gimme a hand of fingies,” you say. If you want dipping sauce you ask for them to “paint the nails.”

Also, whomst are the "legacies" at the GRADUATE school of education that are being let in? This is somebody who has more grievance than knowledge about higher ed.

so MTV is just gonna…. shut down I guess?

I am an embarrassingly regular watcher of Ridiculousness & accordingly way more devastated by this news than I want to admit. also it's honestly shocking. I thought it'd run forever!!

I sure hope that Mark Mothersbaugh has been saving those checks

straight women do not touch a man's head like this when they are just friends

I hate gay nerd Halloween cause what do you mean you're the elaborate buffet table at the soirée welcoming Bajoran comfort women to Terek Nor in the DS9 episode where Kira uses the Orb of Time to see if her mom and Gul Dukat were lovers

ICE active in South Evanston right now, snatching landscapers from yards.

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh. Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later! deathgenerator.com

Immortality is a child's answer to death anxiety, not a real thing with which humanity will ever have to contend. No king's alchemist ever granted him eternal life, and it isn't going to start happening now just because of Computer.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Also, how many more hits is the marginalised community that can be tossed under the bus du jour supposed to take? When is enough punching down on trans people enough?

Narrator voice: the legal case for a third term is that Trump violates the constitution at will. This is not so much a legal case as an illegal one.

Popped the drone over Promontory Point got some really lovely fall color this afternoon.

This is correct

Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...
