This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

This shit is made up, actually

Welcome to SURREAL WEEK, where calories don't count, drinking is governed by airport rules, no one cares how you're dressed, and marathoning old movies is the norm. You have until January 5th when doing absolutely fucking nothing becomes embarrassing again. Do nothing with it wisely.

Yup. I'm telling y'all, these dudes don't know anything.🤡 Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money. Actions: Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly. Words: Literally wrote an article in Ebony Magazine

Surprise! We've got one final holiday treat for you; our last animatic of the year, by @lilevergreen.bsky.social: Suvi's goodbye! Adapted from The Wizard, The Witch and The Wild One: The Children's Adventure Episode 1, Preludes (Patreon-exclusive).

Once again, honored to be included here!

Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal. Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

This quote from the WaPo rocks. Artists with integrity are such badasses.

We did it Joe!

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

PS1: Yes, get a flu vaccine. Yes, if you’re sick avoid mixing with people and wear a mask (preferably an FFP2 one). Yes, if you are in a crowded indoor space, you might consider wearing a mask to reduce your chance of infection (again, FFP2 one). But this is good practice every winter!

The important question is whether this year’s flu season will peak soon (and so we have a ‘normal’ serious flu wave, shifted earlier) or whether it will keep going up and only peak towards end of the year in which case it will be a terrible flu season - i.e. are we in scenario A or scenario B. 6/10

🧵 Is it a super flu year? Who knows, but I think the current reporting is stupid. A pissed off thread using data. Firstly - here are today's headlines and some from the last 3 years... spot the difference. 1/10

fuck!! off!!!!!!!!

9 cameras on UNC’s campus tracking your realtime vehicle movement and keeping it in a database for cops even though you aren’t even suspected of a crime

“American Canto,” one of the most hyped political books of the year, flopped in bookstores.

Their mistake was putting out that excerpt in Vanity Fair. The people who actually wanted to read the book thought they were getting juicy beltway gossip. The excerpt revealed it was just incomprehensible word salad

The back of this reads “Daddy with Pinky and Billy” 💕 Photo from my collection, no date.

I’M LOSING MY SHIT THIS IS SO FUNNY

This is a since-deleted LinkedIn post from the marketing agency that created the since-deleted AI-generated McDonalds Christmas ad, and all I can think of is how the energy consumption must've been about on par with a small suburb or heavy industrial load to produce 30 seconds of slop everyone hated

Generating video is *immensely* energy intensive. Let's say they produced 3,000 10 second clips for this ad (suspect that'd be an underestimate). At 1KWh per clip it's 3 megawatt hours. Maybe ~400-500 households usage for a day? newrepublic.com/article/2028...

Marcel is already the same size as Francie and he still has a few months of growing left to do. He's going to be a Large Son.

A huge night for Democrats: —They flip Miami's mayorship. —They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%. —They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council. —And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight. Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall. This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

Life is crazy. @zachstafford.bsky.social texted me last night. “Elizabeth Warren wants to talk to us about Hollywood.” Me: 😮😅

Part 2 (10 mins) covering attacks on science, civil rights and how Trump wants to be a king. again there will be some short versions of some of it later this week... All based on www.trumpactiontracker.info youtu.be/9fudutXpn08

"...this is still a will-they-or-won’t-they format. It’s just that the following verb is different than what you’re expecting it to be." Yes, this is ~exactly~ it. readingtheend.com/2025/12/10/a...

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

that's right. fuck that stupid owl

yes you should be mad at democrats voting to confirm a fascist's choice to pervert the courts. how is this controversial?

Capybara and/or a moose

I've seen people be like "i hate it when people refer to vampires as draculas!!!" But reference to draculas is as a subset of vampires - it's only the little guys with dinner jackets and slicked back hair who fly at you like FYAHHH!🧛‍♂️ Draculas are a species and vampire is the genus.
