Good God, what has this nation become?

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Some serious side-eye from the judge.

Really hope I live long enough to see the Nuremberg trials phase of this shitshow.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

I don't want to secede from the union, I want these evil motherfuckers out of my union

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

I mean, you know, we're all reasonable people here and it was certainly worth a try letting delusional, violent, racist, misogynistic, corrupt, brutal, malevolent assholes be in charge of everything, but I don't think it's working out all that well

This should be a legal requirement for being allowed to sell networked devices. Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

practicing my celebration for when it happens

We are all in a state of constant panic and terror. It’s important to take a second when you see something online that triggers you to ask yourself “am it really triggered or am I just experiencing nonstop psychic damage from the world and my brain sees this as an outlet for my fear and rage.”

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Hello fellow internet user, I see you posted a cultural reference I am not familiar with and instead of googling the reference I have chosen to take offense and make it your problem

It's weird that nobody can just straight out say that he's a deeply stupid man and that is now being compounded by clear mental deterioration. Like we all see it. We know what it is.

“Sir, we did promise to announce a cause this month, so we could just say it’s caused by…hmm…let me just look around in my purse for an idea.”

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

It's simultaneously getting more menacing and more infantile. Everything he does now--everything--is "Be nice to me or I'll hurt you."

It’s not just me then.

DOJ agrees to release all Telegrams and Telex messages involved in the Epstein investigation.

I do not want AI in Slack. I do not want AI in Google. I do not want AI on Facebook. I do not want AI in documents or spreadsheets. I do not want AI in Adobe Acrobat. I do not want AI in Zoom. I do not want AI on news sites. I do not want AI in the patient portal for my doctor's office. I do not wan

Live your life so millions of your fellow citizens don't take to the streets to tell you to go fuck yourself on your birthday.

You’ll be too young to remember, but there was a time when you could wake up as many as three mornings in a row and not find the world had lost its fucking mind.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

These kids today. They all got too many pencils.

The precious few days of lilac season bring me such joy each year, and this time they are especially bountiful.

Pickles questions my choices related to work / life balance and argues for more cuddle time.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

man it's getting so you can't even give unimaginable power to the worst people alive without things going all sideways on you

Pickles loves the new kitchen floor as much as I do.

The boy.

Office chair, moments after vacating it.

Bliss.

Each day, as Pickles glances at the morning’s news.

Has anyone pointed out the striking similarities between this initiative and a key tenet of Scientology? That organization is vehemently opposed to psychiatric medicine in general, and especially so toward psychopharmacology.

If there is a silver lining in the current decimation of the federal work force, it’s that it is likely to result in the birth of a highly motivated opposition, packed with talented and experienced people of all manner of skill sets. Hopefully, this cohort can be effectively organized.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

Guaranteed that by now the G20 has branched off a separate group chat without him in it

Long overdue, but today I officially became an ex-Xer.

Initial reports indicate that there are boxes all the way down.
