The fact that Trump is threatening nuclear annihilation while astronauts are orbiting the moon brings to mind this reflection from Archibald MacLeish on the first such mission in 1968.

James Talarico says it’s time to start flipping tables

If you think there's no difference between a human mind and a bunch of sand you're probably correct about your mind specifically.

I don't think you would get it.

Maybe if AI freaks stopped telling us we're all going to be unemployed by the end of next year we wouldn't be so down on the concept.

"We software engineers have invented a machine that kicks software engineers in the nuts. We will be adapting these machines to kick workers in the nuts in all sectors of the economy. You must prepare to get kicked in the nuts. There is no alternative to getting kicked in the nuts."

i often think about this review

AYN RAND: it is Rational and in fact Noble to care only for one's self because who knows if anyone else is even Real with an inner life like you, plus you're the Main Guy so your happiness is like the whole world is happy NARCISSISTIC SOCIOPATHS: wow what an interesting and totally New belief system

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Cry about it, loser.

I won't post the screenshot of Trump's disgusting gutter racism but I'll note, again, that the best explanation for the entire Trump phenomenon is that for a good 40% of the American public a black guy becoming President had the equivalent cognitive impact of getting kicked in the head by a horse.

American evangelicalism has always been a theological deadzone but it's really all out in the open now.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Who could this be? Hmm…

One of the most famous stories in the Bible is about God destroying a wall.

ME: Hey man, I live down the street. Can you please keep it down? JEFFREY EPSTEIN: bill g. has drip dick. regrettable. ME: Huh? EPSTEIN: stinky dick = evolve computers. ?? nerd consciousness. ? ME: Okay, well, it’s four in the morning. Please keep it down. EPSTEIN: dick stink. ? as scent brain

Years ago an otherwise politically aligned friend got super annoyed with me for saying that Tusli Gabbard was a Russian asset and... well.

I don't know, man. On the one hand you have an unbroken line of apostolic succession tracing itself back to Jesus himself, but on the other hand there's a nihilistic couchophile, a sentient burlap sack full of earthworms, and a guy who makes footballs go through things.

The whites are at it again.

Gotta love the "Bullet enters body" phrasing that NYT uses every time a right wing terrorist attacks someone.

Sitting here trying to come up with an appropriate clip to post in honor of Catherine O'Hara and I can't choose one. She was a genius in every scene. Every single scene.

Nobody is entitled to force you to participate in their mental illness. Kanye has gotten orders of magnitude more attention than he has ever deserved. I wish him well on his mental health journey but everyone should feel free to ignore him forever.

I am obliged to note the irony of ICE claiming that it was okay to kill that guy because he was carrying a gun three days after the Supreme Court heard arguments over whether states can prohibit people from carrying guns.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

There's only one God, ma'am. And he doesn't tell teenagers to kill themselves.

Maybe make a useful product you dick that's why we used to love tech you'll have a billion fans if your product doesn't suck shit

Apostates vacate Head of a rogue state Designs on Greenland 'Cause you're a wee man Thought somebody told ya Get outta Minnesota Terrorizing migrants Time fore repentance Extend some grace If you want it from above 'Cause you never saw a face That God didn't love

"Make Heaven Crowded" is certainly a normal thing to call an event and definitely not something a serial killer would have scrawled in blood on the wall of his basement.

Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"

It's pretty wild that the Constitution has basically operated on the honor system this whole time.

So that's why he farts so much.

the worst writer you know is, at this moment, giving extremely confident writing advice

Timeline cleanse: Raquel Welch auditioning for the role of Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island.

so pretty soon ice will have deployed every officer they have to minneapolis and the thing to do then is cut a huge hole in the ice in a big lake and have bugs bunny dress up like a lady and stand behind talking all "help help rescue me from all the foreigners!"

G.K. Chesterton: “‘My country, right or wrong,’ is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying, ‘My mother, drunk or sober.’”

Oh, so it's a crime to have a hundred human skeletons in your house??? Well, that's certainly something I would never do. Just out of curiosity though what number of human skeletons is okay to have in your house ha ha
