Yeah, like the officer quoted saying he wouldn't go to dinner in downtown Silver Spring in 21/22? I mean. I went the dinner in downtown Silver Spring around then p regularly and it seemed fine to me 🤷

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

If you make Chuck Schumer in Tomodachi Life, does he automatically spawn in his two imaginary friends

I think this new Lio Rush gimmick is marvelous frankly. If The Beast Mortos can be a pro wrestling orc, Lio Rush can be a pro wrestling Gollum 🤼

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive-because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

I read this passage and thought "wow, that's a fascinating perspective on writing history based on first-person sources." Then I clicked through to read the article, and brother, I did not know what I was in for. Excellent writing, highly recommended

Your vibe coders were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they could.

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

The promotional banner for MJF vs. Kenny Omega at AEW Dynasty

I cannot lie, this promo reminds me of the billboards asking if you're going to heaven or hell.

NY subway ads:
Tably: when need to split the tab :)

DC subways ads:
For the next generation in integrated defense intelligence solutions, and there’s a picture of a fighter jet

More like Loser Orban

Magyar: “No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions.”

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

right I have wifi again - here was Budapest just now - at quarter past midnight!

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

Alex says "well, economy's fucked. Time to start camming." She asks herself "what's my niche?" She gets an idea. She has set up a sexual version of Cow Tools. Her friend says "I don't get it..."

Since it apparently needs to be explained again honey dears: this is all just a DISTRACTION! It is a play of MERE APPEARANCES over ESSENTIAL FORMS! We are SUPPOSED to be spending our NIGHTMARISH LIVES contemplating GNOSIS!

hazel (@sodiumPen): "europeans will ride a train going 200 mph through the alps while drinking wine and americans will sit in traffic on 1-95 for three hours eating a gas station sandwich and say "at least i have my freedom" brother you are imprisoned by a honda accord"

when I or my neighbors express reservations it’s not because anyone disagrees that we should be in the streets—it’s because of experience at years’ worth of events and knowing who is probably going to fizzle out or get someone needlessly killed, but bc it’s the capital that knowledge gets discounted

I could have opened Bluesky this morning, said "oh shit," never looked at Bluesky all day, opened it just now, thought "phew," and have been IMMEASURABLY more psychologically and emotionally healthy than I currently am. There's a lesson there, and it is my solemn vow not to learn it.

Come on then, and remove him.
