It really cannot be overemphasized that almost none of the very angry and abusive and confident leftists on this site have had three seconds of practical participation in electoral politics in their entire lives

Needs more money to fund Meta's next big thing, Zuck wants to "dig a huge hole to visit dinosaurs in the center of the earth."

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

There's a first half you don't see every day:

I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

Ya'll the footnotes. I have never seen anything like this.

You’ve heard of Barbenheimer, but have you heard of …

I received a very unusual edition of Euclid’s Elements:

That peanut worm is a little too exciting for me you got anything else?

I think a case can be made that 9/11 gut-shot the long 20th century, and it took 15 years or so for the effects of that to fully make themselves known

And Tiny Tim, WHO COULD NOT DIE, crawled on under the glare of the dying sun

And Tiny Tim, who DID NOT die, was shaded ftom the eyes of god and lived on as a curse upon mankind, his hunger eternal.

i am specifically recommending a ruby ridge every week until these people stop showing up to protests and literally leveling their front-carried assault rifles with bump stocks at the entire crowd to make the protests stop. this is from 2020, about 90m north of my hometown.

Anyone else just hear this lyric banging around their heads all the time these days

imagine selling your soul to the most unspeakable ghouls imaginable for years and then the second you say “enough, I’m done” you die a horribly slow, painful death

keeping this around for the next time i'm asked what Bluesky is

My Neutral Milk Hotel cover band that performs in Detroit Pistons jerseys is called Ron Holland, 1945

@ed3d.net is out here live-poasting his way through clauding-up a book indexing solution. These experience narratives are really important - I regard every one of them I find as a gift.

Claude out here asking me for favors and I'm not inclined to give them

He has the best chance of being our next president simply by actuarial tables and specific mortality rates for whatever is happening to Trump's brain, and he can't be fired.

STEPHEN A: Skip I want to ADDRESS this issue. [BAYLESS nods] STEPHEN A: You KNOW I am against violence. BAYLESS: Absolutely STEPHEN A: BUT!

I have said it before and I will say it again, Debate Kids are the ones actually ruining the country.

though, all things considered, i would probably pay to watch more influencers get their jaws broken by professional fighters, to be honest

honestly I’m pretty confused as to why Andrew Tate was fighting at all but I’m delighted that he got his ass beat

Me: I don’t see the appeal of boxing TV: OK but what if it’s professional boxers savagely brutalizing influencers Me:

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day. "Where there any other contenders?" "Um, no?" "A hollow victory, then".

I am begging people taking issue with this to read about how party discipline works in virtually every other legislative body in the world, including the Republican part of the US Congress.

Fuck the three Democrats who were the difference on this passing and especially fuck the Democratic leaders who made no effort to whip them into line and who will do nothing to punish them after the fact. I will never support a party who cannot pass the most basic tests of human decency.

somebody call the decembrists, this one is coming in hot

ChatGPT's is interestingly different in its errors. Something is helping ChatGPT get all of the names right, but no force that money can buy is able to make these billion-dollar babies count from 1986 to 2025. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... for reference.

I think a lot about how Harlan Ellison said in an interview that Agatha Christie’s work would be forgotten five minutes after her death, and (by implication) his work would live on, and nearly the opposite has occurred. I’m not even sneering at Ellison. Just how we don’t understand posterity.

her shield stops the quick strike, while the slow blade may pass

How to fix soccer: 1. The field is too big, shrink it. 2. Too many players on the field. Limit it to two. 3. Paint the field in a black-and-white grid. 4. The ball is replaced by pure positional advantage. 5. Pawns everywhere.
