This has been both immensely stressful and one of the most touching and validating things I've done. Thanks to all the backers and the barkers 🙏

i'm gonna torture the computer

I don't think children should be shoved into lockers, but personally I have nothing against shoving adults into them, and swirlies, etc.

Fabrics. Whenever I see really old clothing, I would not put that shit on. Fabrics are so good now.

It's hard to demonstrate in realtime that the creative labor of people and their brains is more valuable than AI's because of the focus on productivity, but I look forward to every team pushing for this playcalling model to get systemically dominated by people with functioning brains.

Statehood now

A driver parked his van too close to an Oklahoma City hospital. Now he's facing terrorism charges.

Sometimes I wish my mother wasn't as lonely as she is, but there are certainly some benefits of having a parent who quickly deleted all dating apps because men were asking her overly personal questions like "what do you like to do" and "would you like to grab a coffee sometime"

This is so offensive, because the last time I was in Paris you could get a hot-dog-injected baguette at the Eiffel Tower. The hot dog deserves to be here.

Once I tried to explain density to my mom and she just kept repeating "a pint's a pound the world around" at me

This is downstream of the fact that suburbs only exist by virtue of their subsidization by urban centers. People have no clue how much they really should be paying to live in pleasantville.

I know someone who works at anthropic and I'm convinced that most of them really do have this specific psychosis. I don't think you can marinate in it all day and then go be normal about it.

beyond not understanding that you retain a benefit — growing equity — that justifies continued taxation, what is happening is that these people don’t understand that their mortgage payment included a property tax payment that went into escrow. that, and simple selfishness, is what’s happening here.

Axiomatic to their worldview. This is the same philosophy that determines it's worse to accuse someone publicly of assault than to do assault.

There are a million reasons Gavin Newsome shouldn't win the primary, but I suspect the incoming dick pic won't help

Ashby just needs his comfort-runner-at-third

I've never seen anyone whose face was so hard to keep in focus. Like a magic eye you can't actually do

It sucks that the Brewers are by law required to get behind in the count before they're allowed to get a hit.

Part of what this has revealed is also that a not insubstantial portion of the Democratic legislating class of model UN valedictorians are simply not equipped with the meanness that the moment calls for. These are bad people who need to be crushed. They are not co-participants in a shared activity.

Reminded every week how awful football is from a game design standpoint. Unfixable.

braves-dodgers is a good reminder that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is a flawed concept i can have two enemies

What's funny is that he's completely right about fantasy football, it's just that its sociality is not fun when you're a miserable wretch. On its own it's a huge waste of time that can only ever make you mad at your father in law on Sundays

People won't voluntarily give up their Kid-Crusher 5000s unless we make driving them considerably more costly and inconvenient, which is precisely what we should do.

This one was tough. I guess I like sophomore albums.

The Browns won 27-24 against the Steelers, Google "Deshaun Watson 27" to learn how they did it.

While it sucks that we're ruled by a guy spiraling into both AI dementia and regular dementia, it rules that there's a new way of making fun of people for being enamored by the computer that tells them nice things

NEW: Amazon will refund thousands of Prime members in Wards 7 and 8 for secretly excluding them from full delivery services. The exclusions have now been lifted, and Amazon will also be required to change its practices. No corporation is too big to be held accountable for deceiving DC residents.

Getting mad at Joyce Cato Oates for being a snob after cheering all her epic burns is a different form of being a member of the Leopards Eating Faces party. You can’t contain that heat, you can only hope to avoid its gaze.

president trump has fallen over and shaken himself to pieces like one of those humanoid robots

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

Checking in on threads

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

“transplant” discourse is great because you get to see how easily people can swaddle their insular, reactionary beliefs with left-coded language

The Converse thing is Threads content. I’m sorry but if you get sucked into it you are becoming a Threads person

I've never seen this panorama at Dulles before. It's a carnival that's been constructed right outside Union Station in DC, 1917. If I didn't have a flight to catch I could stand here and look at the details for an hour.

Ok I've seen enough. The ai guys are in a millenarian apocalyptic cult. They convinced themselves they were too smart for religion and then looped right around into creating a machine god. No more to it than that.

This is clearly tempeh. All of it. The bun, the lettuce, all tempeh

This relationship must be linear, I reject this and encourage civil disobedience when it comes to the sauce policy

little wrinkly mercury. little pathetic sniveling mercury. tiny little pissy baby wet the bed and cry about it mercury.

"the overton window didn't even include this discussion until recently" yeah that's how it fuckin works

This is a guy who not only eats a pound of candy a day, but orders the candy daily rather than just having a lot of it in his house. Really an all time dumb guy the more you know about him.

I don't think this is the argument. CEOs demanding the children's book equivalent of a written report is upstream of this being "the work," so I don't actually care what replaces it. There are so many more pertinent objections to the tech.

Going to invent a replacement for avalanche dogs, but they're giant cyborg spiders, which everyone will love and want to be around.
