Appropriate, considering he doesn't sais quoi either

Maybe Doug got a visit from the ghosts of deficit present and future and is scrambling to atone.

could making a serial rapist the figurehead of the modern right have pushed women left?

no, it's the hysterical broads who went crazy

Gravy plane!

I think a lot of podcasters in this vein should be interpreted as “reactionary” in the most literal sense that they are extremely vacuous and form their politics by following trends of resentment against whatever they see on social media

I do think we are long overdue for a reckoning about the pathological lying and double talk built into elite sociality, and watching normal people come to grips with how hard they’ve been rolled is not going to be pretty.

Why is it that the most vocal cheerleaders of generative A.I. are always the hackiest motherfreakers around? You expect studio executives to say things like “it’s going to revolutionize content,” and “from a bottom-line standpoint it’s inevitable,” and “I’ve finally found an instrument as cold and empty as myself,” but you’d hope that an artist would have more self-respect.

of course you CAN use AI to "write" your book but you run the risk of a lethally derisive colson whitehead materializing in your office to call you a hacky motherfreaker

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Diversity begets acceptance.

It's like the world's shittiest pokemon evolution.

This is why these forms of sexual harassment and abuse at scale work to reinforce men’s dominance. If the woman’s “best” option is to quit, then this pattern of behavior can and IS used to keep women out of certain industries and positions of power and spheres of influence.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Nestle is thirsty, I guess.

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

Brutal.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Last week I went to three different stores to find non-USA lemons. Donald has gravely miscalculated our capacity for spite.

The gyre may be widening but at least we have cute things and nice treats for now.

Two balls of dough in a bowl separated by a bench scraper. It looks like a butt with a hotdog in the crack.

Tray of flaky cheddar and jalapeno buttermilk biscuits

Highly recommend Making Things as a coping mechanism!!!!

I'm so tired

i wonder if they check their instagram DMs

We all came to realize this was the answer 6 years ago [albeit for different reasons at the time], and the only mistake we made in the aftermath is we all tried to pretend it wasn't true.

Cheddar and jalapeno biscuits

I just cracked biscuits with help from Kenji so will be making them for every foreseeable occasion.

I've played sports all my life. I play hockey that's reserved for women and trans people and it's fine and fun because everyone's chill and treats each other with respect. It's the weird shutins who never interact with trans people OR sports that want to ban them.

Classic Canada to abstain

Oooo desk nuts... Smart... I usually drink them standing up in the kitchen

Rehabbers are brilliant

@ me next time... my favourite meal of the day is frantic handfuls of nuts at 4pm because I suddenly realize I feel like trash

Thanks for the tip!
