For Fuck’s Sake

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

i remember long ago i used to kinda feel bad and just push through, but in my older trot i just gotta say something. most buckaroos are very accommodating. just say 'im so sorry, this table does not feel right do you have another?' even if its just right next to the last one, sometimes thats enough

If you give multiple interviews to Vanity Fair and don’t know whether or not you are on or off the record - then you are not qualified to be a chief of staff. Speaking as a chief of staff.

Hey I have a wish, too.

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

T H I S. Every book ad or trailer that the algorithm throws at me which clearly uses AI art us an insta-nope. It’s either written by AI or written by a dickhead.

Oh, THIS is good news!

I think things like this is why eventually we will need some sorts of bill of electronic and digital rights. You should have access to objects paid for, and explanations for disruption of services in an ideal world. Outrageous that a professional can be just locked out of their life like that.

doing this to someone should be as difficult and come with as many hoops for the company to jump through and safeguards for the customer as it would be for the bank to lock you out of your house even though you were totally up to date on your mortgage payments. it's that serious.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you’ve seen in the wild: Deer Rhino Hippo* Lion Moose

This is an excellent response which I may have to steal.

TOAD WILL NOW WALK ON A HIGH WIRE, AND HE WILL NOT FALL DOWN.

Flashback to the incomprehensible gibberish that was the raw AI translation of 2HA.

Any publisher that does not see the value of human translation and localisation should do the world a favour and get out of the publishing business.

This is incredibly important. If you read one thing this week: marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-kenyan-...

16 Dec is Jane Austen's birthday so why not celebrate by reading my gay Pride and Prejudice spinoff in which Mr Collins is the hero and Miss Austen was completely wrong about him? leewelchwriter.com/books/

Honestly, every time the discussion arises (as it inevitably must) of what authors/artists/creatives should/ought/must do in this day and age in terms of publicity and marketing that is not actually about the creation of art, I just feel exhausted.

Thou shalt not condemn “violent rhetoric” after your ally is murdered and then mock the murder of someone who criticized you.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

This could have been us. We could take steps to prevent this from happening over and over and over

Now, we don't actually know anything about Bonetti's style; he never published and there are no contemporary accounts of his techniques. But scholars have speculated about his most notorious fight, the "Waterman's Duel," in which he was thrashed by a boatman wielding an oar.

This is a photo I took and posted that went viral on Twitter back in the day. Funny to see it in the wild 😂

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

Do NOT create chatbots based on creators you like. It is creepy. It is the wildest, nastiest, creepshit thing you can do omfg please act like someone normal raised you! This is for everyone in every fandom! Don't do this shit!

This is part of what Trump said at Charlie Kirk's memorial service.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

That was demonstrated just today with grok lying about the hero in Sydney. Fuck musk

I’ve been seeing this cover over and over and I just… In the original you’re aware of the horror of falling, but the body positions of the workers are solid on the beam. Here, most of them should be falling off, yet they don’t, because they live in an unreal, consequence-free space.

Fuck, no. Istg, my blood pressure and stress levels improved overnight when I left Xitter.

i found the piece very moving, and it builds to its main thrust, which is that we can and must honour heroes as an antidote to the co-opting of events like this one by those who seek only further bloodshed

I don't like ever handing shit to Jerusalem post but they absolutely cooked here.

Menorah in window, Kiel, Germany - Rachel Posner, 1931

You guys really need to develop the capacity of simultaneously holding the truth that the colonialist occupation and genocide of Palestine is unacceptable AND violent antisemitism is real Both are true

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

ABC News Australia doing what BBC News haven't done yet, name the Bondi Beach hero: Inala Cooper, "What I was reflecting on this morning was the footage of the civilian, the unarmed man, Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner"

This thread is FABULOUS. Whatever they paid for this Advent Calendar, it was worth it. (FAR more entertaining than the £100 Netflix Advent Calendar.)

December 4: Y'all aren't even ready for this one. NOTHING. IT WAS EMPTY. Y'all. I am not sure I will survive this month for all the cackling. Stephen's guess is that it has fallen into another day's slot so at some point we'll get two. Stay tuned!

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.

Writers, artists, etc: PLEASE repost your announcements, releases, etc, even (checks notes) 5 months later, because this is the first time I have seen this (and I follow Olivia) and it looks FABULOUS.

Fuck this rancid fuckery.

Get a heated toilet seat they said. It's the best thing ever they said. #FridayVibes 😼 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

feels like a good time to remind the universe at large that I have two high heat romance novels about queer ice skaters ready to go WHENEVER

Here he is taking the photo.

We salute you, Charles Clyde Ebbets
