can't wait for J. Divans's next memoir, "We Are Really Cool: White Men And Masculinity"

I wrote last winter about the return of the r-word. I'm so mad.

Please don’t use algorithm avoidance speech on here. You don’t lose points/views here for saying the real word, but what does happen is your euphemism will scream right past someone else’s muted words. If someone needs to avoid mentions of suicide, your unalive has just put it in their timeline.

"The Constitution isn't a suicide pact"

motherfucker point to the exception clause where it says people are citizens unless some sweaty doorknob from Wisconsin thinks it's a bad idea

The premise of the U.S. Constitution is that it lays out principles that are so critical to a well-functioning democracy that if the nation can't continue to operate without violating them, then it shouldn't exist at all.

"The Constitution is not a suicide pact" is a favorite old chestnut with security hawks who hate individual rights, and I think we should be very clear about this:

Actually, it is.

Vince’s Control and Abuse Escalated During COVID Lockdown 25. On March 25, 2020, only days after the government shut down due to the COVID pandemic, and only weeks after Vince told me of the rumors at WWE about us that posed both personal and corporate liability, he began sharing and texting naked pictures of me to others without my consent, including explicit pictures of me with my face clearly visible. Learning that he was sending such pictures around to others distressed me greatly. He was the famous 74-yearCase 3:24-cv-00090-SFR Document 138-3 Filed 04/01/26 Page 6 of 40 7 old billionaire, CEO, and Chairman of WWE, while I was merely a private person working in an entry-level role in his legal department. 26. In April of 2020, Vince told me that he had prevented my furlough from WWE, even though I was the last-hired employee of the legal department. The order to work from home gave Vince easy access to me, and he started taking real steps to turn his sexual fantasies into reality. With Vince and I working from home in the same building during the height of the COVID19 pandemic, Vince had unlimited access to me to act on his sexual impulses on any day, at any time. I could not escape from him at work or at home.

Forget Bryon Noem.

The spouse-of-a-Trump-Cabinet-Secretary you should pay attention to is Vince McMahon, who is currently being sued for sex trafficking and sexual assault. His accuser, Janel Grant, has filed a declaration with truly horrifying details.

Do I understand correctly that when he says "maybe they'll rule on the law and the Constitution" he means he hopes they *won't* do that?

Panels from the comic book "The Tick": The first panel on the left is captioned "Even as we speak, our ninja surround Oedipus' mansion ingeniously disguised as a HEDGE." In the illustration is a line of people standing in front of a huge mansion, all dressed in skintight dark suits and masks, all holding tiny twigs and branches. They are saying to a young blond child in front of them, "Really, we're a hedge. Move along. We are a hedge. Please move along." Panel 2, at right: a middle-aged man with short gray hair and a pencil mustache, wearing a burgundy evening robe, is peering through the curtains of a window and saying, "How odd. I don't recall having a hedge in the front yard, Amanda."

“The fact that machines can generate meaning in the first place is an existential curiosity.”

no it isn’t because no they don’t.

This story feels like it came right out of a rejected Night Court script.

I keep hearing from fellow software engineers about how just a few months of vibecoding has left them unable to perform some very basic software coding operations on their own, and, like, explain again why I should be using this thing?

It seems increasingly clear that this is literally the business strategy for AI companies: make their users literally dependent on AI assistants for basic job functions before ramping up the fees by 5-10x.

Well, and if you let all your ability to function without it atrophy, it’s “worth” even more. Once you can’t write a paragraph, what could you be charged for the ability to generate one?

Apollo mission: here's your capsule and guidance system. You may be required to manually re-enter the AGC operating system machine code via toggle switches.

Artemis: we're sending you up into space on the same platform that routinely gets hijacked by North Korean ransomware, best of luck

One of the things about the rampant spread of online antisemitism is uhhhhhhh most people don’t actually know any Jews so it’s very easy for them to develop insane beliefs about us

This is correct. This is the best post.

They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. #USForestService

Don't know about Twitter, but this is my favorite Tumblr post

Toad stayed in the bed, and Frog stayed in the closet.

They stayed there for a long time, just feeling very brave together.
