There’s a lens through which the world is deeply disturbing, one’s own culture is worrisome and odious, and one’s generation is disappointing and even insufferable. Aging gracefully is about owning this lens, and finding a way to be a happy person in spite of the many problems to be found.
NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.
This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.
This is a case study in how extremism robs your life of all meaning and joy, piece by piece
(and how much misery some folks will endure, just to avoid admitting they were wrong)
I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time
(and the great danger here is that the coding bots are then used to make a lot of people more accepting of other AI “creations”)
This might, weirdly, be why AI coding bots are having A Moment, because making software is a rare case where the mechanics of coding can be largely separated from the “art” of software-creation, and the code is genuinely the least-fun part for many people.
This also seems like a good way for airlines to distract from increasing turbulence.
its just funny to me that the avatar of conservative masculinity is such a moist subservient cuck

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"
Incredible satellite imagery of the tornado outbreak underway across the central United States.
Again: the gun you keep in the home for “protection” increases your risk of homicide by 3-fold, of suicide by 5-fold, and for men, risk of suicide more than 10-fold
The second you bring a gun into the home you’ve dramatically increased the risk of death for your family 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Look at the *design* we used to apply to something as mundane as a goddamn bus ticket! This was essentially full-time employment for someone, and a little bright spot for every Milwaukee bus rider.
We've lost way too much in the name of "efficiency".
Nah, neural nets can't perform outside their training distribution ;)

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of
The key to the AI tools that most successfully leverage LLMs is that, basically, they're constantly trying their damnedest to avoid the LLM at all costs
I am going to make a bot that just posts this in all the "what's up with Gen X" discussions.

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭
astronauts on the moon. affordable college for everybody. building a ton of housing for families. vaccines to end cancers. we can have all this cool stuff if you just vote for the people that want to do it.
we can do so much great stuff. put down your anger. great things are right there.
Artemis II Return NASA's Orion spacecraft carrying Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, along with Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), splashes down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, at 5:07 p.m. PDT, (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10, 2026. The Artemis II test flight launched on Wednesday, April 1, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin its 10-day journey around the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars. NASA’s Landing and Recovery team and the U.S. military are coordinating efforts to extract the Artemis II crew from the Orion spacecraft. Credit: NASA/Josh Valcarcel

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
Eating muffins in bed with my boo whilst we use a calculator and read my favorite book, "The Cotton". We love to fight over the one glass of orange juice whilst sitting on top of the covers
I still don't have a clear idea of how they safely maneuver what looks like 150lbs of pretty unstable king-bed-width coffee table over themselves without either tearing a muscle or maiming someone's foot.
Do they force their kids to help?
we should have a third industry besides AI and gambling
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Fuck yeah Boise. Joyful malicious compliance is the most rewarding kind of malicious compliance
90s business was all about being ready to pop a finger-snap at a moment's notice
"-le" is a forgotten suffix in English - it's integrated so far into words that we no longer register it. It indicates continuousness: to sparkLE is to repeatedly spark, to scribbLE is to continuously scribe, etc.
Which implies that to chortLE is to repeatedly do something called a chort.
