A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.
In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."
Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!
With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.
What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.

“A lot of people gave up on doing the right thing over the last two years. Despite an insane amount of threats & bullshit, we persevered"

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

legolas hitting on a chick: so you have my number.

SCIENCE!!
There's nothing more that a majority of Americans want to see than JD and DJT being walked on a path out of the White House in handcuffs!
like, the guy who thinks we should leave trans people alone and should not have state religion and thinks corporations have way too much power also, often and unfortunately, thinks taxation is theft, and the latter's always going to be more important to him
a thing that i learned after living in portland for a few years was that the line between left and libertarian is frequently a lot blurrier than people on either side of it think it is
Palantir is a defense contractor. The government tells the contractor what stuff it needs, the contractor makes it. End of relationship.
If I were a senior government official and the hired help started rambling to me about a new global order like this, I would slowly walk away and call security.

We are so far beyond even Teapot Dome levels of "government captured by private industry" in this country, and Democrats genuinely seem to believe their unpopularity is driven by being too nice to trans people, instead of being driven by their screamingly obvious hypocrisy about this.
The economic argument for the last decade is that what consumers lose in security they will make up for in choice, and it turns out we don't even want as much choice as we have now!!! So it's been lose-lose. That's my theory for the vibecession
Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten appearing to burst through a sheet of white paper in a dark frame. Text at the bottom reads “sauve qui peut”.
“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

surveyor: ok so do you want to know where your property line is or what
seriously hope when dems get back in power they go after every single fuck involved with DOGE
Exactly one year ago today:
Virtually no geology professors share the widespread view that the earth is 6,000 years old. It can only be bias.
"Thanks to its porous border with Italy, millions of migrants from around the world flock to the Vatican every year. In fact, even the year-round population of the Vatican seems to be entirely made up of immigrants, as its birth rate is virtually zero."
"we haven’t just been tolerating Confederate nostalgia. We’ve been underwriting it. Like PBS, but with secession and human bondage instead of the tote bags.
And the pro-Confederate defense is always the same: “It’s about history.”
Of course. The same way a concentration camp is about architecture."
Last month in The Onion:
You're not a REAL imposter! 😆
not only is this exciting — the lt. governor’s office should, uh, contact me — but it is a not so subtle way to claim some of virginia’s most potent historical symbols — its universities and the affiliated figures, like madison and jefferson and george mason — for the libs
