We were so close to never having this shit-spackled old fraud speaking for America again but damned if we didn't steer right into the same ditch.

...so I hear.

...so that's a no...

Huh! Small world.

I haven't been back to Iowa in probably a decade. It's fixed its problems, right?

this happened where I grew up

Wait, you're in Davenport? My old home town?

For accountability the mask is "the machine told me to do it/just did it".

For exploitation, the mask is: "No humans were harmed in the creation of this service (but they most certainly were)".

Slavery 2.0 is about that mask blocking off empathy.

We have a habit of considering any problem we don't have to face as being less difficult or dire than anything we personally face, and that creates a sort of toxic simplification of the world, and a failure to appreciate the importance of boring solutions that work.

It’s important to remember that billionaires are parasites with a vested interest in persuading you they are predators.

So you can 3D print them?

Which? The penis one or the one where this sign is posted?

"Denny waited a while to make his move on Polly, which anybody could have told him was an idea with no upside”

and

"It is impossible to fidget nonchalantly, but Denny tried.”

I am pleased with them.

OK, I started writing HOUSE OF BODIES thinking it would be a horror story but it seems to just… want to be about a bunch of people at a gym?

Yesterday’s effort included these lines:

This reads like somebody's Jack Reacher fanfic infested an LLM which then committed murder.

slow down and fix stuff

A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"

Boy, this administration sure does care about the troops.

me, my wife and the plumber in front of the hot water heater:

plumber: ma’am you need a new dip tube
my wife: don’t call him that
me: sweetie he—
my wife: you’re right though
me: what

Props to Crockett for keeping her eye on the ball and locking in for what's coming. Anyone thinking of dwelling on the primary should take note.

Keeping ICE in existence and “reforming” it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.

So, there’s this thing called the Total Munitions Requirement and it doesn’t give a fuck if you can bench press 315.

Also, why eat pizza when a garbage disposal can chew it so much faster?

Why sleep in a bed when being dead in a coffin is more efficient?

Ok... be kind to an Old here... did you program these for 3D print, or is this some 40K thing where you just pose their models or...?

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.

DOOOO EEEET

Well, thanks anyhow and, also DARKNESS is a masterpiece.

c-53: I'm obsessed with my 19 year old coworker. I was telling him about how my crashout divorced dad got a sugar mommy by going to random churches and having screaming sobbing breakdowns in the pews until a random rich christian widow was like 61 can fix him'. And he went Gyo thats tech. The meta is changing.'

Hey @ironspike.bsky.social, did you once share a comic strip where writer/artists were “daywalkers — all the powers of writer AND artist, none of the weaknesses”? Was that @bouletcorp.bsky.social or do you even know what I’m talking about?
