I regret that I never knew Rhode Island’s game until this weekend but I have seen the error of my ways.

my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

I think one of the more important skills you can have in 2026 is knowing when someone is performatively using progressive coded language to argue for something that is fundementally not progressive because they can claim a perceived moral high ground.

It’s hard to decide what part of this story on Marissa Mayer’s new startup is most loathsome, but this “women need a wife or, in other words, a digital servant” construction makes me want to flip over an actual table www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/s...

lol remember Beeple

Just tonight a random convenience store clerk in Providence, Rhode Island gave me and me and my kid a free pint of Ben & Jerry’s for no obvious reason. “You have to be kind!” he said. I guess! Speaking of which: hey, what’s up with Providence? Seems great and everyone here is manifestly insane.

jab lung@mobute.bsky.social

thinking fondly again of the college girl at the donut place, who made a little muslim boy bounce giddily out the door after she told him his donut was free, and who waved me away and said "you're good" when it was my turn to pay and then, when asked if there was a deal that day said "i hate my job"

Insane in a good way, I should clarify

It’s good that New York won but it remains sort of troubling that American cities are in what increasingly looks like an asymmetrical warfare/insurgency situation vis a vis the federal government.

What I’m saying is it’s time for the cities to create some more formal military units.

This is a popular theory but incorrect—the OceanGate crews’ bodies were actually destroyed so fast that their souls just became part of the ocean. They’re ocean now.

The thing about airbnb is the Olden Dayes was that it was *cheap*. I used to stay in somebody’s apartment in Hell’s Kitchen for like $65 a night. Sure there was probably bedbugs but for that price?? Now it’s just hotel prices with facebook marketplace hassle

K. Thor Jensen@kthorjensen.bsky.social

it's hard to describe to young folks how cool airbnb was when it first launched. just weirdos and spare rooms for like twenty bucks. we stayed at a guy's house in oregon who was a "bear safety expert" and when we asked him what to do if a bear attacked you he replied, completely seriously "i dunno."

ok, yes. i used a little blood magic to make this potion. but in my defense, it's hard NOT to use blood magic these days. all the tomes and orbs are powered by it. blood magic is really a systemic issue. in a way i'm a hero for admitting i use it

One conceptual framework for dealing with this information that I've found at least useful, if perhaps not 100% original or revelatory, is: Peepee and Poopoo Peepoo.

As Leonard Cohen said: There's a crack in every butt. That's how the poop gets out.

That Rutger Hauer rewrote his death speech in Blade Runner from something that sucked into the “tears in rain” speech, probably the best death scene in movie history. The script version ended: “All those moments... they'll be gone.” lmao

Amy "Thunderjam" Chase@amythunderjam.bsky.social

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

This is CBS News political correspondent and chief legal correspondent endorsing the overtly Christian Nationalist viewpoint that the U.S. Constitution doesn’t protect freedom of religion for anyone but (some) Christians.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Hearing from my sources that this "over the top" tweet from Jan Crawford is being discussed internally at CBS. At the same time, as those same sources noted, "Jan is protected by Bari" and has been a very vocal acolyte of Weiss. "She just can't help herself," one network insider said.

@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Aside from all that it’s also an extremely dumb take on this video? Only a gutter racist or a genuinely stupid person (but I repeat myself!) could come away with this reaction.

Meanwhile, here is who Jan Crawford is applauding in that exchange with Abdul El-Sayed: www.thehandbasket.co/p/tommy-teep...

thehandbasket.co'Tommy' from viral El-Sayed video is former Sen. Hawley staffer with Christian nationalist tiesThomas Teepell is the son of a former long-time Bobby Jindal staffer who's close to Sean Feucht.

I saw a performance of Titus Andronicus today and all I can say is that’s a play just begging to be staged as High Camp.

I mean one of the characters is literally the Queen of the Goths!

I watched someone take five back and forth cycles to get a cybertruck out of a parking space today while I stood there waiting to walk past, making eye contact with the driver and shaking my head sadly the whole time.
