I Know What You Did Last Summer For Tax Purposes

Look, let's clear this up. LLMs can't think or understand because those are evolved capabilities of embodied living organisms embedded in the physical and social world and LLMs aren't that. Don't make it harder than it is.

People who have a hundred thousand followers on here really owe it to themselves and the community to resist getting baited by 139-follower randos. Not only is it super tacky, but 9 times out 10 it results in the smaller account getting dogpiled. Just bad all around. Block and move on!

That Hum record still rules, if we’re being completely honest with ourselves

Inside you are two condiments

nobody wants to talk about this, but there's a reason you've never seen @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @pokeythepenguin.bsky.social together

It is summer 2022. A man walks into a London antiques shop. Picking up an old lamp, he polishes it with his sleeve. A genie appears. "What is your wish, master?" "I wish Arsenal had a chance to win the title every season!" the man exclaims. "A chance, you say?" the genie replies

A lot of the people complaining about Bluesky’s glitches seem to have forgotten about this guy

Woke pope Many are saying

I named him Vent

There had better be zero Democratic votes to confirm. Looking at you @kim.senate.gov and @booker.senate.gov!

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

Something like 1 in 2,000 Americans belongs to a Unitarian Universalist congregation. Something like 1 in 6 clergy assembled in Minnesota today is a Unitarian Universalist minister.

It was the Holy Shit of times, it was the Big Yikes of times, it was the age of WTF, it was the age of LMFAO, it was the epoch of Fuck Around, it was the epoch of Find Out

It’s a lot more fun to talk about the Cure than Morton Downey Jr., is partially what’s going on imho

I write with the urgency of an amphibious variety show host prepping the next sketch.

I’ll die mad at Chris Christie for canceling the ARC tunnel project for the sole purpose of giving Obama the finger. This “tunnels are woke” bullshit and so much other nonsense is the direct result, and meanwhile Jersey commuters will be screwed for a generation.

Slightly diminish a band: Toad the Moist Sprocket

It was extremely stupid (see freedom fries) but the current discourse tends to way overplay the idea that very few people knew the truth or saw what was happening at the time. Was there elite consensus? Yes. Did opponents get called names? Yes. Despite that, were there massive protests? Also yes.

if the press were a cat, trump’s mental fitness would be the toy and biden’s mental fitness would be the box the toy came in

Habemus papam

We love to talk about dystopias like 1984 and Brave New World but we do not talk enough about about Ender's Game, a book in which the locus of power exists on message boards and two children take over the entire world by Posting

The people lighting our country and the world on fire claim to love sci fi but can’t understand anything they read or watch

Post a fictional character who you think would be an antivaxxer. Hard mode: No villains.

America’s “We will not be discussing taking over Canada” shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by its shirt

I would read the heck out of a book analyzing how selling out went from the worst thing you could possibly do to seemingly everyone’s highest aspiration.

tfw the old world is dying and now is the time of monsters

This was revealed to me in a vision

if we’re going to abandon reason, embrace superstition, and regress as a society, we should at least bring back tunics, houppelandes, and elaborate hats. we do not need to look this boring while we’re at it

“Trump’s surging popularity in NY” narrative is like Journalism Innumeracy 101. Pop quiz, which changed more, the numerator or the denominator?

It is my pet theory that waking up and reading "The Bad Report," listening to "HorribleCast: A Podcast About Bad Things" and checking the social media accounts for everyone at "Awful News Inc" may perhaps have some negative psychological impacts over the long term.

“Rentiers Object to Law Against Rent-Seeking” would be a more accurate headline for this story.

I refuse to join Bluesky — I don’t want to be part of an Eko chamber
