Picard: It's a computer simulation of thoroughbred horse racing called Umamusume Pretty Derby. The program was quite popular in the 21st century. Riker: Mm. 'Pretty' is accurate. That Goldship is quite something. Picard: I hadn't noticed. I enjoy the simulation's tactical qualities. Riker: Yes, sir.

modern warfare is so uniquely horrifying because it is unbelievably totalitarian in its destructiveness but not really any more effective at achieving political objectives than when you just gave ten thousand guys muskets and told them to walk into the other ten thousand guys

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

go ahead. post another "take." tell me that not liking AI is elitist. accuse Dril of sabotaging Harris's chances at winning the election. say that it's "white male privilege" to not vote for Newsom. come up with a woke way to support genocide. call me gay for liking corn dogs.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Merry Christmas! Please enjoy the opening to this Japanese Christmas concert special that I watch every year. As far as I can tell, this has otherwise been scrubbed from the internet

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here. Risk has increased sharply for youth in many states as clinics shutter under Trump and state AGs refuse to enforce civil rights laws. For adults, some increases in risk. Nationwide risk remains extreme. Subscribe to support my journalism.

this is a watto if it was Paulie from the sopranos

Trump is the greatest threat to Americans' freedoms in our country's history. Charges for journalists for covering a protest.

the phrase “moral panic” gets thrown around a lot but I’m not sure what other reaction I’m supposed to have to the information that facebook, on purpose, built chatbots for the purpose of having cybersex with children

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

you have my vote, Andrew Cuomo!

I see the issue. When we said we would replace human workers with machines you assumed the machines would work. That's on you

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Ah fuck we got the Philip K Dick future 😞

I wrote about death and disappearance at the border, and the bipartisan fascism of the US deportation/detention machine.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Every 7.5 minutes, an American man thinks about the Roman Empire. Albeit now with an increasingly dreadful sense of recognition.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Our latest investigation, with @tjekdet.dk , @politiken.dk and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reveals the real identity of the man behind Mr Deepfake, the notorious site where non-consensual deepfake pornography is published www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/05...

IF YOU GUYS HATE THE MANOSPHERE SO MUCH WHY DID YOU YELL AT ME FOR COMPRESSING OVER 13,000 BOYS AND MEN INTO A SPHERE ROUGHLY 23 METERS IN DIAMETER WITH A SURFACE VARIATION UNDER 12 MICRONS? DOUBLE STANDARD. YOU SHOULD BE SAYING "COOL SPHERE, BRO" AND "THANK YOU JONJON, I AM PROUD OF YOUR SPHERE".

so they're mycoblogging

keep in mind this is just the markets reaction to the announcement of the tariffs. they haven’t even been implemented yet lol

average american: we want COMPETENT war criminals

I gave the prospect of invading Canada a lot of strenuous sober thought, and I came to the conclusion that it's terrifying, stupid and insane.

american society has been at “TV Interstitial from ROBOCOP” for a while but “president does a car commercial on the white house lawn” is really pushin it

[Waiting patiently for 20 years for all of the huge pieces of shit who scam people and lie and cheat and steal to get what’s coming to them except they just become effortlessly wealthy and powerful with no negative consequences] well fuck

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

it is october 2023. drake just tied michael jackson in #1 hits. he worked so hard. he is so happy. whatever lays ahead, his future is bright.

had a dream last night I can only describe as “what if drake was an animorph and he rapped about turning into an elephant”

I feel like Oslo is not ready for this type of activism but given how badly cars don't seem to understand pedestrian crossings it's probably justified

This is environmental storytelling
