The regime and its toadies are now taking it to the when-you've-lost-Newsmax level.

I was just talking about this. AI in a robust social safety net is very different than AI in a scam economy without one.

Every single show in this 25-year-old promo has either been recently revived or never stopped airing

It is insane that person who is funding the world’s white supremacist movement & is daily spewing racism, who killed 100,000’s last year by yanking USAID without warning, is regularly discussed in Corporate Media as an industrialist, without any mention of the white supremacism or mass murder.

As a kid, I manually freestyled once at a soda fountain at an archery club in rural Wisconsin (long story). It was amazing till, as if possessed, I vomited in a plastic bag that might have still had Cheerios in it.

It's really the animal quilt that makes this even more 80s than it already was.

It’s the freakin weekend

Guy's out here settling made up wars AND wars he started. Next peace prize will be paid in crypto.

I've run four marathons since turning 35, one under four hours, and each at roughly a 9-minute pace, so I'm somewhat proud of that in an amateur kind of way.

John Roberts and Donald Trump share the same flaw. Roberts assumed that SCOTUS credibility was a hard fact of life, and Trump has done the same with American power. Both have spent down those resources not realizing they need to be cultivated and replenished. You see the results.

This is how every other country imagines life in America

Many professional Democrats often dance around the seeming fact that they think Americans are stupid but, you know, also have this great dignity as people. Fundamentally conflicted messaging. Smug, lab-tested disrespect.

Neil Gorsuch was on Megyn Kelly’s show today.

I listen to the Totoro soundtrack when I need wonderment and soulfulness more than anything

Pope Leo jersey paying off.

Are they really going to give him another chance to lie and trash them to their faces while they sit there with their little resistance pocket squares?

replace the east wing with a data center

Reflecting on Alfred Brendel's legacy today, particularly in Schubert, and thinking of the deeply meaningful time I saw him on the street and thanked him for making music the way he could. He was cordial — and tall.

Many people are saying

why breed dogs with jaws large enough to tear through Flesh, when you could breed dogs with minds large enougj to tear through Fallacy.....

No light like Yosemite Valley light

I’m going to wait to post until one of their books comes out and tells what actually happened tonight.

It seems the death of shame corresponds to the death of memory.

A literary press that only published fiction styled as myth or fable

I’ve been finding a lot of clarity in the theory that we’re experiencing an epidemic of unsupported and unrecognized trauma in the population at large

The only thing Trump and Jesus have in common is that some of their biggest fans badly misunderstand what they’re actually about.

I've diagnosed my sleep disorder as having to get up.

Once again "the death of the West" meant "the death of my secret bank account."

Yeah I'm here for this

"I love micromanaging my teams but I also can't micromanage ALL the teams at once. I have a great solution though!!!"

Victory over...what?

in a world of lauren bezoses, be a connie ballmer

this sounds kinda like a "who cares" achievement but its a very exciting milestone for rich guys who are extremely invested in a future where robots they control are slavedrivers and prison guards for the rest of the human population

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

Supreme Court: No third terms for Democrats. Obama 2028 campaign: Yes we can.

It's also revealing how intellectually degraded so many in tech seem to be, in that they consider intelligence a reducible, quantifiable thing, a commodity you pull a lever to receive.

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

Even a secular guy like me can see that nothing triggers bigots posing as pious as much as gospel teachings.

is Rod Dreher going to emigrate again I wonder

I imagine this is exactly how the Antichrist would act if he had dementia.

You really do love to see it.

was once New Amsterdam.

Finally, at long last, finishing @markharris.bsky.social 's Pictures at a Revolution and am in awe of the breadth and depth of its stories. It's one of those books where the word "magisterial" actually applies.

4-dementia chess

This is a type of rigor I admire. I should also say I won the spelling bee at my school, and only my school, in 2nd or 3rd grade, but that was, as I informed my father then, "because I got all the easy words."

The Great Endumbening is ever dumbfounding.

some of you on here have never teleported to a waffle house and it shows

Showing up at Saturday greenmarkets all across the country and asking vendors if they've "got any lung meat" in a voice that sounds like a skillet falling down a flight of stairs.
