Halalflation update: 1,800 mobile food vending license applications in the mail this week, our biggest batch ever. 
Less red tape, more white sauce.

This whole story is infurating, but this first quote from someone at OpenAI is really making me see red. "The newer version won't do this": a) why the fuck should we believe you and b) even if so, that has fuck-all to do with OpenAI's culpability here. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/w...

Well. Got laid off, position terminated this Saturday. I need some time to remake my resume and everything but if anyone is looking for a Front-End engineer with 12yrs of exp in the Bay Area/Remote U.S. Ping me.

The comments really show how much people really need to learn that this country is an inherently colonial, imperialist enterprise; it doesn’t matter if they’re blue or red, they all advance that agenda in the long term.

lmao what no concept artist takes *2 weeks* to sketch one basic figure also it's 100% on you for not writing an art brief anyway. you can't say "draw any girl idc" and then get mad that the artist drew a girl without any of the specific details you wanted and chose not to articulate...

“Her brother said he didn't see marks on Marin's neck at the hospital. As he took pictures, an immigration officer standing guard tried to make him leave the room and delete the photos. Hospital staff defended his right to stay in the hospital room, he said.” Barbarism.

consumer space base photo by @breebird33.bsky.social thank you!!

takes like these are fundamentally unserious and show that the person posting it has no actual desire to work towards more ethical uses of this tech, but instead are just edgelords trying for notoriety.

Travis Knight says that LAIKA will NEVER use generative AI in their films: “AI is theft. It’s the ingestion of years and years and years of human creativity and ingenuity, regurgitated back. It has no humanity. It has no spirit.”

my pookie sent me a birthday present (its tomorrow)

That's right! With the incredible power of Switch 2 hacks we can FINALLY extract the SMB1 ROM from Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour

And tbc I do still think working on that together as a project with your partner is suuuuper romantic, I'm not sure why we had to erase Sabrina Becker from the equation when that doesn't even seem to be what Jonathan Hau-Yoon has done

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

The Lula election may be the most significant of our time. Brazil will be the vanguard against an even more apocalyptic environmental deterioration. Overjoyed that the Amazon remains steadfast.

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

girls that look like this are the backbone of hobby society

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

This is actually the funniest idea of all time

So, on Sunday we went to see the Halloween parade, and of course we had Dexter with us, which I was worried he'd get scared, but wee man was utterly transfixed. Photo source: Darachphotography

The Meta takedown of the No Kings' account on the biggest early vote push in history was bad. But it's encouraging that key congressional leaders are asking the right questions. www.ms.now/news/instagr...

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

COMING UP: Preliminary hearing before magistrate judge Faruqui in the criminal case of former FBI agents charged with false statements to Congress and obstruction. Things could get very interesting... I'm here in the media room for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along!

Huge if true

i heard openai just found out 1 + 1 = 2, with LEAN proof and everything. its getting f*cking dangerous

In 2016, while Pizzagate was taking off, I felt like I was losing my mind because I and EVERYBODY ELSE IN NYC KNEW that Trump and Epstein were best friends and nobody seemed to care. Epstein didn't become a US household word until the Miami Herald piece about his amazing plea deal in 2018.

Weretober 2026: Storm Elephant Last one for me, thanks for following along this year.

NEW: For over a year, staff at Oklahoma’s regulatory agency built a case against the oil company with the state’s highest number of oil field pollution incidents and violations. Instead of punishing the company, officials let it restart operations. with @readfrontier.bsky.social

Trump II as very specifically an effort to erase JFK seems like an underdiscussed angle. Bulldozed Jackie's rose garden, threatening to bulldoze the Kennedy Center, stripped the Kennedy blue off Air Force One, shuttered USAID, put JFK's animal torturing nephew in charge of reviving polio, now this

video games the same. can't make 5 successful games, need 1 mega billion dollar game or its a bad investment and we fire everyone

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.
