Okay but we would be substantially better off if all multiplayer console games had to go back to being 4 people in the same room sharing a plate of pizza bagels between rounds

While we were all dealing with this website on the fritz, most of you missed the analogy that all the tech bros are talking about (and with their compliments at that)

My peers at McKinsey and Goldman Sachs told me to expect economic growth and I’m starting to realize that in 2025 they had no fucking idea what had just happened

where is the vitriol for farmers growing alfalfa in the american southwest

GOOD

You know I don’t think that’s the lesson here

It has begun openai.com/index/indust...

Second Artemis II appears from behind moon “Houston, Integrity, comm check.”

‘The moon is made of cheese’ people hearing that there is visible mold on the moon

It would be very funny if he was actually sick of cop shows and posted that they should cancel Blue Bloods and rescue Schmigadoon

Oh my god he did the impression for real

I am ready for the Chloe Fineman cancellation party to continue variety.com/2026/tv/news...

It is finally time to ask the obvious follow-up question: "Then why are we all listening to you?"

Bluesky having issues on a day when I have a whole bunch of good takes and posts is clearly a personal attack

Tell me you've never worked with a good CFO etc. etc.

turning a big dial taht says 'Uptime' on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right.

Bombing To Win, which I am sure most American foreign policy experts have read

"Journalists should be on Twitter." Twitter to journalism: "Drop dead."

oh ffs. facebook/meta's crawler is hitting the pi searcher at several queries per second. This does not strike me as the most efficient way to "learn" pi, friends. <adjusts his damn robots.txt>

Okay, calling OpenAI “the short bus at the end of the rainbow” is incredibly funny even if it’s a tiny bit problematic stratechery.com/2026/openai-...

People are out here saying there will be a movie about the SAR operation for that aviator No, they’re going to make First Blood but instead of killing cops he and his buddies are going to launch an assault on an ICE detention center to rescue one of their family members

This is antisemitic

Oh my fucking god this is classic Sam, managing by icing people out

Also, there’s this move called not going.

Oh my god this is such weak tea. If you want to show up for the First Amendment in a tangible way, do it in print you cowards.

Folks are seriously underestimating how much more openly anti-Semitic American politics are going to get the millisecond Trump dies.

The office receptionists and vice principals when the drones lock onto a parent who came to pick their kid up for a doctors appointment

"Joy denied by Anxiety" Ain't that the damn truth...

That's what I love about bluesky, man: real life keeps gettin' older, online stays the same age

The Room is the sum total of one man’s neuroses, hopes, fears, dreams, and petty neuroses. Filtered through his unique voice and habits of language. Only Tommy Wiseau, of all the humans ever to live, could have made it. The Room is deeply human. It’s terrible in a way only a human could ever be.

we're bombing the wrong country

given the fact that it begins as 30 minutes of stream-of-consciousness in a notes app I assume the deliverable is dubliners by james joyce

It is taking all of my will power here to not ask a very pointed question about this man’s politics and voting history

I think the last part is easy to believe now and may be less so if 90 million people are turned into refugees in a matter of weeks

Oh boy we are ngmi

watching the jim abbott no hitter documentary and he no hits kenny lofton, manny ramirez, jim thome, albert belle, carlos baerga, lol absolute joke. it’s probably the greatest lineup i’ve ever seen and he goes nope, no hits for any of you. you get zero hits.

The US desperately suing for peace and Iran refusing. A war that the US, not Iran, started with a surprise decapitation strike a month ago. The most abject military and diplomatic humiliation in modern history. Trump should be dragged out in chains.

I would note that the interesting thing that's happening right now is the group of posters that this admin is performing for is turning on it, which will make things interesting imho

Okay so I just have to take out a second mortgage then

probably a bot but fuck it: oh my god you guys are *soooooooo* close to getting it

I'm not sure you could get an LLM to generate a script like The Room's. The Room is not just nonsense, it's a very particular shape of nonsense. It's the mirror image of an insightful but soulless essay written by an LLM. You can tell by just looking at them but it's hard to say precisely why.

Tangentially related to this, but I think "so bad it's good" media is a topic of underrated study. Stuff like The Room that gets just enough of the foundation of filmmaking correct that it's watchable, yet fails at every other decision in such an unpredictable manner that you can't look away.

Incredible timing on this Odd Lots episode www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I'm sort of at the point where I don't really think that matters to me anymore. Bernie sucks in some ways, so does AOC, Pritzker, etc. On this particular issue I take a more holistic view where I want to see whether they will just bend to our pressure and if they will then that's good.

I am a little worried he will use a nuke and most Americans (the ~30% of deadenders and the ~30% who don’t vote) will just go on acting like nothing is wrong. After all, American soil is not physically threatened.

I don’t think this exchange is a dunk on leftists, it’s actually — if you go one layer down — revealing that the working people who are eligible voters in North Dakota either don’t care about or are actively hostile to reproductive rights

My toxic personality trait is using em dashes but never — and I mean never — properly spacing the words on either side of them

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”
