Sometimes you click on a Humble Bundle to see what’s in it and your jaw drops all the way to the floor This Hernandez Bros one of those? Never managed to get into Love And Rockets? Well here’s EVERYTHING for $18 www.humblebundle.com/books/love-a...

I keep thinking about this since I learned it, because it’s so fucked up that it’s difficult to personalize, but we really did murder his whole family. Including at least one of his children

It is 2008. Democratic politicians are greatly underestimating the size of the bag the next president will be left holding. It is 2020. Democratic politicians are greatly underestimating the size of the bag the next president will be left holding. It is 2026. Democratic politicians are greatly—

“Reading old books”

so the new objective is basically to safely open the strait of hormuz, the strait that was open before they started this war for no reason

Continuing on the theme of “the American capitalist class is too stupid for capitalism to work.”

Sign of where things are going that in a shockingly competent move Labour's social media team are actually straight up promoting the fact that he had this falling out with Trump re the Iran war. The British right wing press and party establishments may have fucked up here methinks.

the only thing the markets love more than Elon Says Thing is Trump Says Thing, in case you ever thought "rational" and "markets" belonged in the same sentence

Indeed, assuming this represents current policy, it is an open admission that the regime change effort has failed, de-nuclearization is likewise impossible or impractical and the only objective that remains is to extricate from a costly failure.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...

a number of thoughts here: - oh my god he admit it - what happened to the reactionary group chat?! - commonality here is that none of these inputs will offend their sensibilities by challenging their worldview one bit - i expect a full pivot from this class to 'filter bubbles are great, actually'

90s Captain Ahab: Thar she blows. Thar she blows again.

can't wait to go into the west and remain galadriel

I think I’m going to just tune out the whole Bsky CEO thing. There is nothing there for me but more anxiety

youd think hey venture capitalist maybe this site will actually figure out revenue yay silver lining but then you remember right venture capital they don’t know how to run businesses in the black

the best detail in here is that he fucked up Marco's shoe size, because of course he did and of course Marco wore it anyway

ruh roh

But also because investors almost always view layoffs as fiscally responsible REGARDLESS of how you got there or where you’re going, so you do them when other things to juice investor confidence don’t seem doable You get laid off less because of what you do than because of that

FYI for folks at home—the gardens aren’t blocked off. Now that setup’s complete, the barriers are behind the food stands for health/safety reasons. The area will stay open the rest of the day after lunch wraps up.

Not directly related to this, but it reminds me of how many “you should really think about India more like you think about Europe in terms of scale and cultural variance” I’ve had in the last few years

I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible

marginal tax brackets break people's brains

At least the weather is nice here today, that’s kind of a change. Look, I am trying to find upsides

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

They are murdering civilians on the high seas. They are murdering civilians in 🇮🇷. They are murdering civilians in concentration camps. They are murdering civilians on the streets of 🇺🇸 cities. These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

hot take? "AI is destroying internet media" is not the story here, it's "AI can delivers slop better than what's left of internet media post-private equity". AI summaries can't replace a @gamersnexus.bsky.social vid. I stopped reading gaming sites when they fired all the writers I gave a shit about

One of the things I find fascinating about the "you need to learn to use AI or you'll be left behind" crowd is that everyone I know who has been forced to use it has said that the only way to use it in a way that actually results in time savings is to know the field extremely well.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

In accepting his WGA award, Stephen Colbert named and said something funny about each of his 20 writers so they’d be hired when his show ends 🥹 @wgaeast.bsky.social #WGAAwards

Oh goddamnit. This is probably true, isn’t it?

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

I originally started saying there should be tribunals when this shit was happening Despite all the OTHER horrible bullshit happening I still think this should apply to DODGE (and especially Musk). They destroyed huge, working, life-saving infrastructure and people will continue suffering from it

Well everything else aside, it’s a really nice warm night at home tonight so I might just go for a long walk

boy in retrospect, really shouldn’t have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise

half my timeline is just people smarter than I am posting "dawg" "chat is this good" "woof" and/or horrifying graphs

These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.

“Wow he blocked me because he can’t take criticism” that’s correct. This is social media. You’re just some asshole. I am under no obligation to listen to you tell me what to do. Have a blessed day

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now. PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

The footage coming from Glasgow city centre tonight is very upsetting. I was there only a couple of weeks ago and still consider myself a Glaswegian born and bred. That corner of Central Station is absolutely iconic. Thankfully no one appears to be hurt but small businesses and livelihoods are lost.

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

This is so damn evil, so blatant you have to laugh. For those who don't know, this event costs almost a thousand dollars but an affordable way to go previously was to hang out in the park and *only* have to pay for lodging and meals. Now the grass is gated off. Hope GDC dies out

Also, now that the Dow is so far off of 50,000, I believe that according to the Pam Bondi Rule we are legally allowed to care about the Epstein Files again?

I don’t pay close attention to what Trump posts so maybe I’m behind the curve on this. But this makes me wonder if “the nuclear threat is now over!” will be the excuse for drawing down and backing away

Apparently some people don't know that trains and telegraphs drove the development and adoption of what we think of as standardized/synchronized clock time, so here you go: blogs.loc.gov/law/2024/11/...

The naming of Ayatollah Khamemei today ensures that the majority of GOP senators will continue to think the exact same guy has been running Iran since 1979

A plane boarding near me was delayed due to “cleaning issues”, and they were very explicit it was not a mechanical issue Now they have started boarding and a different flight attendant has announced one of the lavatories will be out of order for the flight Imagine your own story

I am also shocked by the lack of coverage of this fire. It’s so far only affecting the Union Street buildings, but one of those has partially collapsed, from what I can tell backwards into the station. And it’s not yet contained. This is major and more than halfway down BBC’s homepage.
