Everyone is talking about the jeans, but I can't stop thinking about how he's wrestling in brown dress shoes.

Don't worry about it, we'll be in nuclear winter by then and those of us still alive will be burning furniture for warmth anyway. Who needs cars?

They should just hire the wow players who are like this

When the Reuters headline is indistinguishable from an Onion headline...

Pretty sure the judges at Nuremberg settled this one already.

I agree, but I also know from having been a new mother in the internet age that it's not going to be any worse than what is already happening on mom forums.

I'd guess seeing gays on TV who aren't cartoonishly femme in presentation, and don't do all the weird depraved shit in private that he imagines, is equivalent in his mind to writing them for the female gaze.

Ah but you see, men don't have political "opinions", they've calmly and rationally examined the facts and drawn intellectual conclusions, whereas women can't engage with politics without their brains overheating, so their opinions are pure emotional hysteria.

The number of CEOs driving investment in their own eventual downfall is amusing to me

15 work days later for me and I'm counting each one!

I've been waiting for this episode since the pod started! People I respected recommend this book to me, and I couldn't get past the first chapter. I now know that recommending Sapiens is code for "I don't understand how any of this works" :gestures broadly:

Good job Yesterday David! Yesterday me is always this chad-like (chadish? chaddening?), it's one of my favourite things about ordering pizza.

The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi - unravelling the plans of gentleman thief Jean le Flambeur while a murder mystery plays out in parallel is great fun.

The media bias isn't exactly difficult to explain.
When someone they don't like does a bad thing, they cover it.
When someone they like does a bad thing, they cover it up.

Is it wrong to feel like anyone who can pull off a museum heist at the Louvre and get away clean deserves to keep whatever they found? Just as a reward for brightening our news feed with an honest-to-god caper?

If anything, guys like this could stand to be lonelier.

I'm so ready for this episode! The only book I've ever put down after the first chapter.
Wait... does this mean I should actually finish reading it to heighten my enjoyment of the takedown?

@marisakabas.bsky.social (The Handbasket) belongs in this list, doing some top tier independent journalism and a great follow on this site.

You just know this dude read his first discworld novel as an adult, it went way over his head, and he now calls them childish because it's easier than facing how that made him feel.

The "intellectuals" on the far right may as well be bots, it's all the same programming. Pick something that's changing, strip it of all nuance, slippery-slope the impact, blame it on someone, farm the outrage.

Weird because they call them flapjacks, or weird because they're essentially a South African crunchie but somehow never as good?

Even worse, they managed to get women to tell themselves it was something they wanted, and to do the dirty work for them in pushing for it. This is Machiavelli-level social engineering that they'll teach in Evil School for decades to come.

Just wait until he slips and calls it deeply socialist.

Waterworld 2?

Bro so used to jumping to defend rapists, he pops off at the mention of rapeseed oil.

This is me and my "take your meds" alarm that I keep snoozing.

This is AI taking our chef jobs.

We have one of the most progressive constitutions in the world and I'm so grateful for it.

We have an enormous Indian diaspora here in South Africa and it would make complete sense for any member to tick Asian and African to describe their ethnicity if those were the only options on offer.

Claiming to be dead center, but so far right he's sliding off the page. The Onion couldn't have done it better.
