I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Sigh. Kind of wish I’d seen an event at the Kennedy Center before it got turned into something that looks like a Cheescake Factory.

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse

if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if β€œwoke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

We’re all living through the Twilight Zone episode where the whole town had to do everything to appease the creepy kid with special powers or else he’d do terrible things to them, aren’t we?

What would have been the β€œjump in the bowl of cereal” or β€œeating the life-size pop tart” of the Poulan Weed eater Bowl?

Can’t wait to see what 12th century Flemish ruling the Supreme Court comes up with to justify overturning Obergfell.

I remember watching Logan’s Run in middle school and the teacher stood up and covered the screen during the non-PG scenes.

I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop when we find out the deals all those companies signed with β€œAmerica” were actually signed with, well, you know who.

At what point are we going to think”Wow, that trillion dollars we spent on AI could have been used for something useful?”

Can someone please invent a remote with an Up 5 and Down 5 volume controls so I can toggle between comfortably hearing the explosion parts and the dialogue parts without wearing out the remote?

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

I can’t wait for the next set of economic reports when we’ll have added a million bajillion jobs, unemployment will be negative infinity and the GDP will be down 3% (as it would be the only one created by humans).

Ok. Our captions had it as Goo-Jah on his first visit to Ghorman.
Stupid AI.

I could have done with less time dealing with The Lost Boys.
I think we’ll be losing old friends in each of the three episode mini-seasons.
And is this the first time Star Wars has dealt with, um, adult themes? Brave new world.

I said as much in a text two weeks ago to a friend who regularly tries to offset my Chicken Littleness.

Though even he is firmly on the alarmist scale at this point.

There will be an election. Limited to property-owning white males. Were golden! (And also doomed.)

Can someone please explain to the GOP that the Good Olde Days they’re so desperate to get back to were that way because the top tax rate was >75%?

Use small words. And maybe a chart or two.

Can Google Maps add a setting for Simplest Route?
I know β€œup a block turn left; up a block turn right; up a block turn left; up a block turn right; up a block turn left; up a block turn rightβ€œ is the shortest route.
But isn’t β€œturn left go three blocks; turn right go three blocks” so much easier?
