Fill your ersatz boots
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.”
A message to Sickos abandoning All-American Alcohol for the Latest Fad “420 Day”:
Just because you CANnabis doesn't mean you SHOULDabis.

how is this literally happening in real life
not the vicar of christ with another absolute banger of a post
One of the more emotionally affecting things of my transition was hearing of a cis woman saying it felt empowering to know that in a world like ours that so routinely hates women, there are people who actively choose to be one and find worth and value in that choice
Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)
It really cannot be overstated that COVID happened, suddenly a bunch of absentee tech dads were forced to stay home where they saw their kids playing Animal Crossing while talking on Discord, then collectively decided to light a trillion dollars on fire to make Snow Crash IRL.
Jos luet tänään yhden artikkelin, lue tämä.
That resurrected Val Kilmer thing is so ghoulish, I hope actors are writing this out of their contracts

Toisin sanoen, koulussa opetetaan (parhaassa tapauksessa) ajattelemaan paremmin - niin, että pystyy hanskaamaan sellaisiakin asioita mitä opiskeluaikana ei oltu vielä edes keksitty.
Live your life in such a way that you never have a reporter following you around asking you “what’s your fascination with roadkill?”
En oo varma, mutta kavereilta oon kuullut, että asiaan liittyy työvuot ja arvovirrat
I'm a broken record on this but the radicalisation and brain rot of Gen X/boomers is a massively under-appreciated problem
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.
This book makes me feel Trump isn't an aberration, he's a direct continuation of US political history
Reading Kurt Vonnegut's A Man Without a Country from the mid-00s and this is so prescient that it's just a gut punch followed by a kick to the teeth kind of book
Don’t get me wrong, there are a bazillion other things wrong with the whole AI bubble, but the underlying economic theory of the companies adopting AI is also legitimately bananapants. AI companies are burning hundreds of billions of dollars. Where do you think they expect to recoup those costs? 3/?
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
A line of Nazis at the Nuremburg rally, throwing Nazi salutes. Their backs are to us. Facing them is a hand-tinted group of child laborers from the early 20th century, squinting suspiciously at them.
I'm worried about AI psychosis. Specifically, I'm worried about the psychosis that makes our "capital allocators" spend *$1.4T* on the money-losingest technology in the history of the human race.

Meme by Archie Henderson. Photo: a laundry room. Text: Inside a washing machine. Duvet cover says, "Climb in, my brothers." Every other single piece of clothing says, "We shall build a new life in the big sock."
Apparently April 15 is National Laundry Day.
WELL SHIT.
"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking
Wow. I didn't know Giesea was connected to Weev or Thiel. And it makes a ton of sense.
More juice for Marcy's theory:
Without Online Trolls, There Would Be No Donald Trump
I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."
Tässä on hyvin tiivistetty se, miksi kaupunkisuunnittelu on isossa kuvassa junnannut paikallaan vuosikymmeniä kauniista puheista huolimatta.
Kun autoiluun ei uskalleta puuttua, on mahdotonta tehdä kaupungeista kestäviä ympäristön tai ihmisten terveydenkään näkökulmasta.
