A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

Who else remembers people scrambling to pay $thousands for parcels of “land” on Second Life?

Because the president is a simple-minded mercantilist, the quality of the discourse has dropped so low we can barely talk about the qualitative, systemic rifts happening in our global order right now. Even nobel laureate economists are squeezed into tiny 2 minute video hits that barely scrape the

Our current federal government is brought to you by the people who think Robert E. Lee was a brilliant commander.

Microsoft is cutting back on using AI internally because it's too expensive. Uber blew though it's entire AI budget in four months. An Nvidia VP says “For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees." Ouch. fortune.com/2026/05/... 1/3

We did a better job reconstructing Germany and Japan post-WWII than we did reconstructing our own confederate states after our civil war. Maybe the problem was in the name. It was not a civil war, it was a war against anti-American authoritarianism.

We wanted to understand conservative ideas about traditional nuclear families. So we talked to a conservative ketamine addict who has 20 kids by 12 different women.

I am waiting for apartments without kitchens to become the norm, which is exactly what a bachelor apartment was 100 years ago.

Rubio and Vance are going to get into a death match over who has to go and sign it when Trump refuses.

Very clever of Trump to never try to sell a clear vision of what winning a war with Iran would look like so losing isn’t too obvious.

Swing Voter* *guy who has always voted republican but claims to be independent

Trump (or Trump Jr) seemingly mistakenly invested $1M-5M in Kura Sushi (sushi restaurant chain) instead of Fujikura that is related to AI industry. Previously, all their investments were related to AI. This is now one of the trending stories in Japanese media.

"Miller Lite is the anecdote to the decadence of a professional class that constantly chases novel gustatory experiences" is a perfect anecdote expressing the decadence of a professional class that idiosyncratically chases working class cred with novel vocabulary words.

You also can’t throw your logistics at the enemy.

One way to make dumb people feel smart is telling them most people don’t know the word “dumb” has a “b” in it.

Guys, I really don’t want our side to start going down conspiracy rabbit holes like the weirdos on the right. I get the appeal, it’s part of human nature to spot irregularities and try to explain them. I will say Fox News does a lot of lighting and digital trickery to smooth out lines and

Wag The Dog but to avoid his cursed son’s wedding.

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

For 20 years Iran was happy to be “weeks away from w nuclear bomb” understanding that this was their deterrent. They knew if they ever tested let alone deployed a nuke they’d be destroyed. Then we showed them what “destroyed” looks like and they realized it’s not as bad as they thought.

There’s a sense in which internet inspired mass shootings are becoming a sort of mystery religion. There’s a canon of sacred works (various manifestos), symbols, a great many worshippers and acolytes (mostly online in forums) - and then a final, often fatal, initiation by blood into the pantheon

The amount of the Strait of Hormuz tolls Oman and Iran will offer Trump:

He’ll get a cut of the action and call it a win, and 20 million Americans will cheer for him.

We get so caught up with the current US administration’s doublespeak we can miss when when one of the OG doublespeakers’ does it

I always appreciate Ken’s knowledge and expertise.

The frustrating thing about Elon Inc. is its value will almost certainly be less than half of what it is now in his lifetime but value is based on perception and he has a lot of people fooled into thinking he’s a good investment.

Corrupt leaders beget corrupt militaries, which is by design and is a key step towards extra-legal authoritarian rule.

Basically the government Swatted a comedian because they didn’t like his joke.

Bill Barr, Mick Mulvaney, and all of the Trump 1.0 enablers own this.

Whaaat? No way!

Netanyahu and Trump have spent their political careers burning up all of the respect and political capital both of their countries spent decades building up.

I seriously doubt there is a single person in Trump's orbit who consistently tells him the truth.

Do Androids Dream Of Embarrassing Themselves In Front Of A Crowd Of Peers?

Where’s the true grit in fake humans?

I do not like the idea of two authoritarian leaders of nuclear powers laughing at my president for being a buffoon but here we are.

With Paxton and Massie’s opponent Trump understands if he doesn’t have diehard loyalists in place to support his big 2028 play to steal power nothing else matters.
