Squeeze one out for a real one.

This is a beautiful joke

I can tell you as a writer that no, writers are not using AI and lying about it. And anyone who claims this has apparently never felt pride in their work, so I wouldn't recommend hiring them. Like if this is how my dentist views the world, stay away from my teeth.

Not watching Trump’s speech tonight, and certainly not watching the panels of pundits afterwards respectfully discussing his policies and proposals rather than treating him like the deranged criminally insane sociopath he is.

This is extra insane because the action scenes in Star Trek have never been great. The big ideas and the characters that grapple with them are the real draw. If all you want is dumb action, why are you watching a series that's 80% meetings and conference calls?

This is 1) spot on Tucker Carlson and 2) basically Church Lady.

Decks of black-and-white playing cards stacked on top of each other. The front says "Carte Blanche" and features a white-feathered raven with a playing card in her beak.

Sunday afternoons are great for card games. So… Blanche has requested that we give away some cards!

We've got five decks of Carte Blanche cards to give away (US only). I'll post the links in a reply below. Each link can only be used once. (And once they're all used, I'll remove the message.)

I'm hearing a lot of positive buzz for Costco!

Hey so is there anything close to a replacement for Amazon for general purpose shopping? Or do I need to find the best online deodorant store, the best online toothpaste store, etc.?

Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?

Go follow Kelly, she's great!

Why would you want to own your own your own collection of art that matters to you when you can just wait for Comcast to let you watch Space Jam anytime you want (this weekend only)?

A headline reading “Camel pageant thrown into chaos after 20 competitors disqualified for using hump-plumping injectables”

Yes everything is terrible but let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.

These will never stop being hilarious

-Environmental damage

*Apologies, this should have been in the con list, too

anti-AI “credo” I have a religious exemption from using all generative “A.I.” I am not a member of the Silicon Valley sect. Their beliefs and practices are an affront to my sensibilities. The tech is trained on stolen intellectual property. The output is riddled with mistakes, and it is incapable of comprehending the weight of its errors. It is not even an “it.” But sometimes, it is filtered and massaged by unaccountable human sweatshop workers and bad actors. I am not required to use “A.I.” any more than I am required to join Amway, buy black market rhino horn, or attend the Fyre Festival. As a human, I have a duty and right to limit my carbon and water footprint and protect my fellow human. As a union worker, I have a duty and right to oppose tech that is used to threaten workers or cheapen our product. As a tech consumer, I have a duty and right to oppose scams that lower the quality of our tools. As a scholar, I have a duty and right to oppose anti-intellectualism. As a taxpayer, I have a duty and right to oppose the misallocation of public funds and data. As a grown up, I have a duty and right to protect young people from predators. As a person with a conscience, I am appalled at the decadent disregard for user safety, the callous dismissal of responsibility for lives ruined and slaughtered. My religion is related to my identity, geography, and family, making it an irrelevant accident of birth. What matters is that I was born. I have an exemption from their digital rapture, their cultural austerity, their intellectual poverty. I practice wholesome hedonism and First Do No Harm. CS 12/9/2025

Happy birthday, dude! You don't look a day over 30% off.

They ended up asking if anyone had played Star Fox so I just flew the plane.

Yeah working on my YouTube reaction video.

Best $100,000 I ever spent!

An excited man standing next to a Pokemon trading card vending machine.

Luckily I've got something to keep me busy.

My flight just got delayed due to "dead data" but they're saying as soon as "the captain gets the emails" we'll be ready to fly. Not sure if this is real or the pilot just asked ChatGPT to make up an excuse.
