my official diagnosis: his brain has fallen out of his ass.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

I think a big thing I struggle with, and something that is an important thing for people of my generation to attempt to understand, is separating toxic nostalgia from knowledge of the actual ways in which American life has gotten appreciably worse in my lifetime

My thing w him is that his jokes were really great at the time but it’s hard to go back and enjoy them because most of them are about how he has zero impulse control and it’s like… oh the signs were there

Weirdly, this is all part of a 50-year-long plan to get their parents back together

An important part of arresting the consolidation of authoritarianism is convincing corporations and institutions that Trump will eventually be out of power and at that point they’ll face consequences for their actions and by that standard this is a good sign

The Dave sequel sucks

This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology. Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

the song of bluesky

Lincoln was re-elected on a party platform saying "That foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development of resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy."

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.” really important thread ⬇️

nobody came down from the stands to punch him because Michigan has no honor

Shots fired

I was going to be paranoid until I figured out how ART had been attacked.

I keep thinking of that paper called "AI As Normal Technology," basically suggesting it could be a tool thats good for some things and not for others, which sounds so much more reasonable and accurate to my experiences with it than the claims it's actually Robot Jesus

Sometimes football is wonderful and ugly and beautiful simultaneously 🥰

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Once upon a time, hateful kids went to school to learn how to twist logic and science for precisely this reason. Now, they're just crying to TPU, and I for one am glad that hateful shits are no longer learning how to pretend with the trappings of logic.

Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately.

I get that this is a big weekend for retail sales but if you, as a business, send me six emails in 48 hours then you should go directly to jail

🚨Chicago Judge Sarah Ellis releases a 233 page opinion in response to a review of Use of Force cams worn by agents. She concludes ICE lies to justify UOF. 🔥Truth we all know outed on ABC🔥 ~ TY Judge Ellis

Liberty in CUSA before encountering the buzzsaw of wokeness that is Kennesaw State: 18-1. Liberty ever since: 7-12. You're welcome, America

My brother-in-law is at Illinois-Northwestern and they are gonna have a REAL snow game

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire? Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Props to the protestors who the New York Times credits for foiling ICE’s intended raid in Chinatown earlier today. So many people are showing they know what it means to be New Yorkers! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

I’m dumbstruck by news of the death of Tom Stoppard—maybe because he hoarded all the words and knew how to use them better than just about anyone. I hope we savor his spectacular wit and erudition and argue about the politics of his plays forever. He was monumental, and also a kind and curious man.

It’s incredibly funny people flipped out about a guy running the most standard ass municipal government policy playbook imaginable.

Unvaccinated infants are the second most likely group to get hospitalized for Covid after older adults. Any effort to minimize the effectiveness for kids is evil.

FAILED FUCKING EMPIRE

don’t bring your little fake feds with their camo pants and their skull masks here, we don’t like it

Yeah. Before the fall, CK's act—and his fandom—rested on the premise that his worst self wasn't his true self. Now it's the opposite, and that's just not interesting as comedy.

On @cancelmedaddy.bsky.social, we coined the term "Cancel Culture Grift Economy" to describe how this works.

Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds

2 HONEY 2 CRISP

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

Nothing about ol' Billy Boy's tenure in Chapel Hill has done anything to change my mind that without Tom Brady he's just Rex Ryan

Achievement unlocked! 2025 Florida State is now the first non-bowl team since 2007 ULM to have beaten Alabama.

kirk herbstreit just sad a six-yard pass in the first quarter of the iron bowl was "maybe the best he's seen all year," i can absolutely understand people who accuse ESPN of SEC bias

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.

Ok this is a sign

“Part. Of. A. Team.”

“I just want to be a monster, and get away with it,” informs the politics of a depressingly large cross-section of our country. That is a very bad thing to want! Want anything else, and your life will be richer for it!

Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

Grade A Copium

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.

The president and the speaker are scrambling to promote a candidate in a gerrymandered Tennessee district Trump won by 22 points last year. That’s the smell of panic in the air.

everyone can sense the vibe shift

if Zillow Ed is saying you've not only done crimes but that an OLC opinion won't immunize you, you may want to start making travel plans to a non-extradition country that also ignores the ICC
