Reminded of this story.
EXTREME VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED: The Man Hired By The Onion To Take Over Infowars Produced Pro-Pedophile / Child Torture & Murder Shows For Adult Swim In Conjunction With Will Ferrell Who Took Part In Satanic Rituals With Spirit Cooking High Priestess Marina Abramović!
lol what a dummy
Also for fuck’s sake copyedit your blood libel, this libel is about me and even I’M bored.
Calling it exogenous is a generous read of things
A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.
Trump may do more for the energy transition than any other individual through sheer incompetence, just like JD Vance may do more than anyone else for the cause of global antifascism simply by being viscerally repellent.
the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.
lady wearing a shirt that has been badly edited to say "I joined BlueSky and all I got was blocked by the technical advisor who tried to cool his phone off in a pool and also this jpeg of a t-shirt"
this is a total tangent but rewatched Ferris Bueller the other day and was thinking about how it's a heist movie, they're stealing time and actually adulthood/respect/responsibility from a school/system that wastes their time and infantilizes them
I got to ride on some new protected bike lanes yesterday like they literally paved them like a week ago!
I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages!
If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is
Christ this is bleak. NASA already operates on a shoestring and for decades that string has gotten thinner and thinner. There are no more “efficiencies” to be had — take anything more away and things just start breaking.
Body horror Clayface is a good approach, but it's gonna be tough to top what Batman: TAS did with him. youtu.be/76-8xyGf7w0?...
Did you know this bit was animated by the same crew that did Tetsuo's transformation in AKIRA? Because boy it shows once you know that!
I checked in with The Pokemon Company's former top lawyer, and he's skeptical the suit will succeed
"Nintendo didn’t receive tariff funds...with any legal obligation to return them to the consumer"
(There are similar suits against FedEx, UPS and others, so the theory of these suits will be tested)

This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit.

Journalists who attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner to party with Trump, Hegseth, Carr etc. are telling the regime that it's perfectly OK if they sic the FBI on them for doing their jobs.
depends on the bank robbery
threatening to shoot the clerks? bad, crass, absolutely not heist material
drilling into the vault via an elaborate long distance tunnel where construction noise is timed perfectly with local street construction? heist material
like, do I *actually* think we should go around stealing all the time? no
do I hoot and holler and post thomas crown gifs when someone pulls off a really good heist? well, yeah
this is dumb bullshit to put in The Times but objectively speaking we absolutely do go wild for a good heist on the internet, everyone had a field day with the louvre thing for weeks
The "private prisons" line many people use is well-intended but misleading. For-profit prisons incarcerate less than 10% of the prison population. The problem isn't for-profit prisons... it's the American institution of prison altogether.
It doesn't detract from the larger point, but please don't cite Google's AI summary for anything. At least click through to the source it's scraping.
This isnt an article w three bylines, its a conversation between three people
“Hasan Piker contributes to a New York Times piece about how shoplifting could actually be a form of praxis” is like a concept laser-focused on getting my brain to mercy kill me
The grocery store closest to me has video surveillance throughout, with monitors at the door for intimidation, as well as a posted security guard who checks people’s receipts while checking their shopping bags. These conversations are pretty far removed from at least my lived experience.
Trump is doing more than any human in history to accelerate the transition to EVs and clean energy.
My right-wing investment banker brother-in-law in Chile is now shopping for a BYD to replace his Beemer. He's fed up. And if you've lost him then there is no going back. It is a world-market
Despite the best efforts of Republicans and their billionaire fossil fuel donors EV’s are here to stay
