It’s not who cleans the toilet baby, it’s who cleans the toilet brush

One can’t help wonder if the invisible hand of the market does nothing but frantically masturbate

Failed state shit

Every week or so I think about the fact that the cops/government shot a white man, Alex Pretti, in cold blood and nothing has happened to his murderers. The murderers still have their jobs and the unarmed white man is a cautionary tale for white people to not challenge the white supremacist state.

Oh

The moment in an old movie where she says she’s going to ‘slip into something more comfortable’ but it’s just me in bed shutting my laptop and turning over to look at my phone

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

NEW YORK (AP) — Warner Bros shareholders approve $81 billion sale to Paramount in a mega merger that could vastly reshape Hollywood.

Predict that adults start buying these for themselves and they slowly get withdrawn from market

Opening the lid of AI and it’s just Sam Altman crouched in there typing really fast to everyone. He seems stressed.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

This is the least of the reasons why Trump and Netenyahu are absolute pieces of shit but my god, they really are absolute pieces of shit. We really did seem to be getting somewhere.

You’d think two guys involved in historical international child sexual abuse rings would get along better

With every failure, JD’s features shrink further into his face, as the curse on this globe-trotting fart demands.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

So embarrassing to vote for a strong man, like ooh I need a big strong man to do things, like you’re in a seventies disco song, damning.

The Strait of Hormuz even sounds like a cool as hell card. Like it’s got a dark wiggly river on and it means ‘power’.

Playing a game with an in-game social media feed that I need to check and I think it’s given me depression

If THE CHRISTOPHERS isn't on my best-of-the-year list at the end of the year, then it will have been a very good year indeed: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/m...

Chris Fleming the only stand up special I’ve seen that’s of this century, a giddy neon scroll of charm and vitriol, references you half get, chumming you to a gradual sense of numb exhaustion.

Right now, we are witnessing a preview of what could happen in the USA this November. Hungary's opposition party, Tisza, is so far ahead in the polls that they are on track to win a supermajority in the parliament, spelling the end of Orban. The only way Orban can remain is to subvert the election.

Elder millennials very much in the phase of opening google then thinking ‘what did I come in here for again?’

These guys are doing proper reporting it’s so refreshing

What the hell has happened to Microsoft word?? Why can’t I just save my documents like normal? And send and attach to things, what is this hell and how do I escape it?

What the BBC describes as a ‘moderate breeze’ is basically the first five minutes of The Wizard of Oz.

And here's a secret of the past decade: a lot of the crucial organizing/resistance work is done by women who look like nice mom-type ladies, often suburban variety, sometimes through nice organizations like churches. Sorry if anyone needs it to look like Che Guevara.

Side note- ‘Wine moms’ also a rather contemptuous way of acknowledging we made child-rearing so disconnected and peripheral and under-valued as a capitalist society that the primary caregivers drug themselves constantly.

the amount of good ms. rachel puts out into the world is immeasurable. she is so much closer to something divine than many men who claim to be holy.

It’s absolutely bonkers to me that we don’t talk constantly about the decades of lead poisoning that probably caused huge rises in violent crime for half a century. Like, we don’t even use it as a narrative touchstone for environmental policy, it’s just dissolved into past.

every time some tech psycho giddily says unemployment could hit 30% soon I'm like ok man and then what. what happens after that usually. how about I give you fifteen minutes to skim wikipedia and then you can get back to me. its fine i'll wait

Angela Rayner today decided to directly take on the “incredibly vindictive” landlord Asif Aziz over mass evictions of his tenants. She joined Croydon Labour mayoral candidate Rowenna Davis to say Aziz’s company has acted in a “disgusting and disgraceful” manner and “should not be landlords”.

Oh damn

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work. www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog... 🧵 1/4

It’s so mad to think that most humans who save time by using AI at work are then going to use the rest of their time to do more work and super-charge the economy rather than say, make a carbonara

Do you remember that period when female characters were allowed to exist independently but they had to fall over within moments of meeting them? The early Bridget Jones period? Even CJ from the West Wing had to trip in her introductory scene. Weird weird competence-fearing days.

I don’t want to criticise our writing masters but the baby shoes were probably just smaller than the newborn’s feet by the time they required them - annoying but happens all the time. That baby’s doing fine and fat as hell.
