Well, if there is ANYTHING we should have seen coming, out of all the things, this was really the obvious end point of this, uh, line of thinking.
“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment
I feel like it’s very important to let @raaleh.bsky.social and @postoctobrist.bsky.social know that apparently the new Narnia movie is entitled “The Magician’s Nephew” which feels like the sub heading of a section in a Hindenburg Research (RIP) short report.
What happened today in Minnesota is quite literally what the far right in America has said we need the 2nd Amendment and endless firearms for:
To protect themselves from an oppressive federal govt
Now those same people cheer the murder of a woman within SECONDS of her encounter the federal govt
This is literally the last short story in Ted Chiang’s “The Story of Your Life and Others”
Mind bending prescient work.
Before long there’s going to be exponentially more people in the U.S. who know how to shoot a gun than who know how to read at an 8th grade level.
This is literally the plot of S7 E1 of Black Mirror.
Only 18 hours until the rest of my family comes home from an extended holiday so obviously I’m using my solo free time extremely effectively.
What are we reading this summer?
Fuck I missed Clipse so much. This goes so hard in the most mature way possible. Kendrick verse on ‘Chains & Whips’ is really something.

Watch plummeting consumer credit scores from BNPL loans somehow perversely INCREASE the multiples of their respective share prices and/or IPOs because of course it will.
Or, you know, you could just keep it at a ‘No’ and count yourself lucky.
Really feels like the U.S. government is continuing to fail to heed the immortal advice to not immanentize the eschaton.
After spending a weekend with my 70 year old parents, 60 year old aunts, and 70 year old in laws almost exclusively for 48 hours I’m convinced there should be a law mandating an upper age limit for cell phone camera usage.
You should pop over to the ARC subreddit. The level of anger from a rabid fan base that has been abandoned for this asinine AI browser is quite intense.
Came here for something to this effect
She’s so drunk she forgot to clean her toaster oven
Her Twitter checks out 😂
While we are on the topic, what’s your preferred browser @parismarx.com ? Been on ARC for some time and love it, but since The Browser Company are ignoring the product now and building an “AI browser” now (Dia - it sucks), I’m eyeing Vivaldi for privacy-centric focus and it’s Proton integration.
Have I been struck blind? My cursory viewing of the Apple OS updates across devices is being labeled as a “(massive) visual overhaul of the design language” by media but it literally looks almost exactly the same as it does now. Are we really at this level of corporate gaslighting?
Have we ever considered that eyebrows are the mustache of the eyes
Ah yes, state governance policy via corporate hint hint nudge nudge.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an absolute masterpiece. The best “Final Fantasy” game in decades, and it’s not even made by Square.
Sandfall’s debut game has some of the most insane art direction I’ve ever seen.
Folks, I figured out the tariff strategy. Wait for it…
Major Baader-Meinhof phenomenon vibes while sitting at home with a sick toddler who is watching Miss Rachel while I listen to Chapo Trap House and work and Chapo suddenly starts talking about Miss Rachel.
It’s warm out which means it’s my semi-annual reminder to trim my toenails.
Based on this, I can report that it appears Luigi Mangione is still in jail.
my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20
I’m sure this won’t be used against California politicians like Newsom or Democrat politicians nationally. Nope, definitely not going to be hours of Fox News content about this.
