I feel like I’m living in some weird fucking Beckett play or a dystopian sequel to Being There where the president of the United States is just increasingly obviously a porridge-brained mental patient and everyone nods and smiles like it’s normal.

“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.

it's cool how there is at least as much evidence atp for voters viewing Abdul as a perfectly normal Democrat as there is for voters viewing him as a scary radical

The pettiest hill that I will die on is that if your cool character in a historical novel is rolling their eyes at social conventions, no they're not, eye-rolling didn't become a widely described gesture in English literature until the *1980s* books.google.com/ngrams/graph...

Flávio has just been forced to surrender his passport so he doesn't flee before his corruption trial. It's coming, two Bolsonaro's rotting in jail.

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

there are a ton of hilarious examples of this but none will ever top the participant in the NYT's recurring 2024 "focus group" who worked for one of the largest Republican political consulting firms in America.

I went to the eye doctor so I’m reading your posts like this

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Made a thing about feeling like you’re “in trouble” as an adult

I STILL THINK ABOUT THE GUY WHO WROTE A WHOLE-ASS ARTICLE ABOUT HOW HE CREATED AN AI AGENT TO MANAGE HR, THEN IMMEDIATELY SARTED TRYING TO SEXT IT.

First of all: thank you. This is necessary and important and good. Second: who tf is not signing on to this because I would like to have a little conversation.

hello, you have reached cat emergency services, how may I direct your call? really? to death, you say? uh-huh. uh-huh. and just to confirm: it's COMPLETELY empty? THAT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY! PLEASE STOP CALLING THIS NUMBER.

New from me: The US has faced a higher cost than any other country from the global Hormuz oil shock, with the crisis adding $160 billion to its fuel bill — or $471 per person on average — despite being the world’s largest oil producer.

bluesky isn't letting me do retweets anymore. which feels tough but fair. Thanks vibe code

It's the only thing Conor knows how to write.

Our knowledge on the importance of indoor air quality has exploded in the past 5 years. You can keep yourself, kids, and coworkers safe from nearly all viruses just by cleaning the air. It also helps significantly with wildfire smoke too. We need regs for air just as we do for clean water.

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

"In 2019, as Sam Altman was leaving his role leading the tech incubator Y Combinator to become CEO of OpenAI, he wrote a blog post extolling the virtue in founders with “too much self belief … almost to the point of delusion.” We need to ask why we as a society keep getting got, and how to stop.

Anthropic is trying to write its own federal AI regulation law. The major AI firms have all issued feeble proposals for how their AI will serve the public, in anticipation of their pending IPOs. It's all a reminder that we cannot, any under circumstances, let AI firms govern the future.

I’m guessing the results from the first batch of GPUs in space are bad because instead of hearing about how wonderful orbital data centers are Elon has pivoted hard towards “only I can break regulations fast enough to build regular earth based data centers, unlike those losers at Coreweave”

I really don't think that it's healthy to have a narrative where children must work their way out of disadvantage and if they don't it's their own/their teachers' fault. We're not saviours. We don't have to focus solely on academic outcomes. We can help all young people find value in their lives.

It was literally just three years ago that Nicki Minaj teamed up with Kim Petras on 'Alone'

There’s no way to read this as anything but “I want this black toddler violently put in his place for stunting on my kid”
