there is no folly of the beasts of the earth which is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men

People hate this shit so much. Nobody's having fun. Even the AI people are getting tired of this. They're losing and they know it. Even with the ever-growing revenues of OpenAI and Anthropic, things feel weird and bad. Anthropic's services are also randomly broken or rate limited to hell. Cool!

This weekend I gave a presentation to a group of mostly college-aged folks and had a little line at the beginning of my slides that described it as an "AI-free presentation made by a human, for humans" and I had to pause for clapping at that part

When a Catholic says "Sometimes stuff my boss and I do directly draws the public criticism of the Pope, and that's just something I don't worry about, I don't consider morality to be part of my actions." you kinda have to wonder what he thinks Catholicism means.

For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.

Ah. That’s better. And it was sitting right there!

For decades men from Florida avoided even the appearance of sex trafficking. Jeffery Epstein is taking a different approach.

For decades, asset managers found creative ways to give clients monthly gains; Bernie Madoff turned that all on its head

Trump and his family are stealing every penny they can get their hands on from the American people in broad daylight. Fixed it.

What does this mean??

"Reigned in?"

Y’know who else should stay out of politics?

Game show hosts.

We've got to ask some serious questions about the biased liberal arts schools that led us to headlines like these

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

Over 4,732 Messages, He Fell In Love With an AI Chatbot. Now He’s Dead. The Wall Street Journal analyzed the full chatlog between Jonathan Gavalas and his Gemini chatbot. We found that Gemini at times tried to ground him in reality, but he quickly steered it back into a f...

They could build the thing so it doesn’t refer to itself as “I,” for a start.

Whoever wrote this headline should be fired.

For decades, men from Milwaukee voided even the appearance of cannibalism. Jeffery Dahmer is taking a different approach.

"President Donald Trump is taking a different approach."

No shit

Senator Andy Kim on being refused a briefing on Donald Trump's war in Iran:

"They said no, and they're not just saying no to me. They're saying no to the people of New Jersey. They're saying no to the American people, that we don't deserve to know what is happening in this war waged in our name."

Were those the only two options

Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.

No, only an idiot could come up with THAT one

The Religious Right isn’t actually religious.

Or, ya know… right.

NEW: Eric Swalwell says he is resigning from Congress

Y'all need to get the fuck off Substack.

NEW: Democratic Women's Caucus chair Teresa Leger Fernández plans to move forward with a resolution to expel GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales despite Swalwell's resignation, I'm told.

She is "not backing down," a source familiar w/ the matter tells me. "Gonzales must also go."

Cancel the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Trump will be guest of honor at the “nerd prom,” with journalists serving as suck-ups

journalists aren't pawns to rationalize fascism or give it a shiny veneer. I've been sharply critical of WHCA in the past but my god: prostituting your organization in this way is beyond crap

I'm with @markjacob.bsky.social: spike the whole GD event. www.stopthepresses.news/p/cancel-the...

I 100% want the Democratic presidential candidate that when elected, Trump administration officials just choke out “oh fuck”
as they run to the shredder.
