Apparently A.I. can't even write a vaguely human soundbite for him

INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS/government

It sounds like comically specific hyperbole but it is verifiably true that in the same year Elon Musk predicted fully autonomous taxis serving half the nation, what actually happened was his chatbot became a pedophile

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

there is no moral universe in which someone who ran on QAnon and supported a coup is pro-democracy, and if there is, it’s worse than worthless

There are moments the mask is removed, and all the lies evaporate. This quote by a District Attorney in California is incredible. He says the volume of shackled poor people brought to court--what he calls the "cattle call"--makes it impossible to consider them as individuals.

The "I'm scared to talk about AI due to bullies" people are like the "you can't say anything" people c.2015. There's a billion-dollar industry supporting your use of AI now just like there was an entire hegemonic culture supporting allegedly contrarian takes then. You just want everyone to like you!

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

deadass?

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

Thanks to Jim Moylan, who pulled a borrowed car into a filling station on the wrong side on a rainy day & vowed to protect the rest of us from that annoying fate. What are some of your favorite inventions that make life just a smidge better?

When I quit Twitter/X, I made sure to delete 18 years of Tweets, because I knew this was coming. If you’re still on that platform, you are enabling sooooo much disinformation.

This Christmas let’s not forget the reason for the season (Earth's 23.5-degree axial tilt)

The 2025 Headline of the Year Nominees 🧵

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Just here to add one more "Fucking embarrassing" to the pile-on.

too optimistic?

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

The news of HHS potentially pulling funding for any hospital that provides gender affirming care for youth should terrify everyone. This means the govt can decide what care any of us can receive and hold funding hostage for any hospital that doesn’t bend to its will.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Listen, dunking on David Brooks is obvious and easy, and 10,000 people have already done it. And I still want to see every single post.

btw

I took my friend with only a high school degree to a fancy party and saw his face freeze up at the terminology being used by the elite. “Hebephile?” “Ephebophile?” I quickly asked him if he wanted to go somewhere else and he anxiously nodded yes and so we went to a Trump rally. By David Brooks

David Brooks writing about how there was nothing to see with the Epstein Files while not disclosing *he was in them* is at least a Nuzzi-level journalistic scandal What I'm saying is, get ready to see a nude painting of David Brooks in the NYT within weeks

Probably more important than his rambling speech. They’re going to strip people of their citizenship.

Maybe this is why I'm not a Beltway journalist, but I think the fact the United States is about to invade Venezuela to take their oil is an 100X bigger story than Trump's chief of staff going on the record with Captain Obvious characterizations of their dysfunctional regime

very grimly ironic that our government run by podcasters sucks at true crime

important work, but that this opener is just a normal thing for a journalist to disclose about themself these days is ... wild.

Just say women. This is taking forever.

Crimes against humanity are bad. People who do them should be held accountable, regardless of political affiliation. This is a normal human position.

But like... what if it WAS for puppies?

“Oh you should be online to try to provide value to your political side” fuck that that’s nerd shit you should be online because you’re unwell and need to tell people about weird animals you saw

If you're feeling down because you were wrong about something, just remember that, no matter how embarrassing it was, at least you didn't sign the Harper's "Letter on Justice and Open Debate" declaring that the greatest threat to free speech was "censoriousness" among liberal academics. 🫶

One possible flaw in Bari Weiss's plan to remake CBS News in her image is that she is a bad and boring journalist and nobody actually likes her.

Um... F*ck off?

Everyone who thinks feminists have gone too far winds up going full fascist crazy. Many such cases.

Once again, LLMs can’t believe reality is real.

IRW — a Pulitzer-winning nonprofit newsroom at American — and @thebarbedwire.com traced the history of anti-trans legislation. Houston conservatives realized homophobia didn’t fly anymore, weaponized girls’ safety, and parroted segregationist language. It worked. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/04/a...

This kind of bottle-shaming is a not-so-subtle way to push women out of the workforce.

I braced for terrible vax side effects and had relatively mild ones. A week or two later, my <50 bestie got Shingles. I have never been so happy to be vaccinated. (Plus, I'll take any protection I can get against dementia.)

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

this guy is a bigot and a fool and I just pray to god we do not make him president because his hair is slicked back on tv.

This cannot be overstated. They hate women, and to the extent they engage with women it's to use their exterior appearance to give a sexual gloss to their atrocities. With or without the permission of those women.

that woman is about to become the biggest right-wing / cancel culture / anti-woke grifter we have ever seen the Thanos of “I’m being persecuted by being made to experience one consequence of my own actions”
