"I tried to get out of the conversation as quickly as I could, not least because he seemed frustrated that I didn’t see things exactly as he did — a new behavior and likely a symptom of LLM overuse."
new Folding Ideas! It's a good week after all
“In 2025, 31 people died in the custody of ICE. In 2026, the count has already reached fifteen—and it is only April. Nearly every one of those deaths, as with nearly every death in ICE custody, would have been prevented with adequate medical care and humane treatment.”
the fact that I watched even a single episode of discovery after this brings me great shame
yeah the technology is famously Not Very Good. its main function in movie making is money laundering and slop generation. I don't think either of those things can be of long term use to someone actually concerned with quality through efficiency, which he's always genuinely seemed to be? we'll see
I'm getting this feeling with every single website and piece of software rn it is distressing
not everybody has the talent to run a newsroom. stick to you gaming app dipshits
a tumblr post with a user named bvckbiter writing "is this character good or bad" "is this shop unproblematic or not" "is this arc deserving of redemption or not" girl... underneath it is a screenshot from the show shōgun of a character saying "i don't have time for this christian nonsense"
How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days
So the NYT is so committed to shitting on trans people that when the AMA tried to correct their reporting, they responded by saying they know more about the AMA's position than the AMA itself. That's zealotry.
Tangential but I'm driven to say it. Services don't lose money. They use money. Money we allocate to them. Businesses lose money, because their primary goal is earning money. Service is secondary. The primary goal of USPS is providing services & its health is measured by offering or losing services.
A tiny niche which capital hasn't fully optimized for profit at the cost of human suffering?! I'll be there as fast as I can!!!!!!!
hurry!
Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available
would've been very possible to blow out platner, but the very thing that made his rise possible in the first place stops it all dead: the party just does not give a shit. they are not invested. they do not care much about or think much about my state at all. not even when a totenkopf drops.
After a 15-month delay for the extra work, "Elio" tested slightly better than it had originally. The 2025 release was Pixar's biggest flop, losing Disney more than $100 million.
Well good thing it was WORTH IT!!!!! Phew!!!!!!!!!!!

feeling compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason
Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.
The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.
often shocked how much of "policy expertise" is just well-educated sycophants hurling themselves into the machinery of power trying to attach somewhere, anywhere and claiming that's principles. defund the police is extremely specific (obviously), just hated by anyone who will write this guy a check
A big reason Democrats lose is that people think they're phonies who don't believe in anything or have any self-respect. Act like you believe in something. Anything. For fuck's sake
Largely fears over cancel culture among elites are likely motivated by the fact that they truly believe that their status and wealth should shield them from certain moral or ethical standards. Pretending it is anything else is delusional at this point.
What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion
this is so great. thank you Glacier Bay for keeping this work alive
I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.
it’s so cool everything is either a scam or designed to take away human rights or both now
local elections are different. much harder to ratfuck
