Me, after making a dumb joke: I'm sorry I'm such a jerk

Charlotte: Are you?

Me: Well, I could've just responded like a normal person to what you said.

Charlotte: I meant, "are you sorry?"

The official word for the confederacy is “treason.”

This is the thing the right doesn't seem to get about actual progressives. They're always like "oh yeah? Well what if Obama did it? What if Biden did it? What if AOC did it?"

Then throw them in prison! We don't give a shit. They're elected officials, not gods. If they're criminals, prosecute them.

10 August, 2025 - Patch 0.0.10 Notes Bunch of stuff happening in the background that doesn't directly affect the site but does affect our ability to launch the beta. That said, here's some stuff you can actually see/use! - Compact view and expanded view now show the entire headline even if it breaks to multiple lines. If you want it truncated, you can still use minimal view (the only view that I personally use!). - Middle-clicking with the mouse should work in both the grid view and and the timeline view. This will open the link in a new tab, and mark the item as read. - Now if you hover over an item in the grid view, it will show you the entire title (in case it's being truncated for space). The hover's currently set on a 500ms delay, so it won't show up immediately. Let me know if you think this is too long or too short!

I have updated the SimpleRSS.dev alpha! Yes, I know I'm on vacation. This is fun for me. 😄 Here are the latest patch notes. If you'd like in on the alpha, DM me!

A picture of the gallette described by the post

Sundays at Le Pouliguen are free for alls but there are usually gallettes available. My choice of ingredients: leftover beef, mushrooms, leeks, cheese, egg. Served with cidre brut.

Ellie in cutscenes: oh my god I shot this person, how can I live with the monster I've become?

Ellie in gameplay: I just blew up three people and a dog with a coffee can full of gunpowder and rusty nails. Time to pick off their friends as they come to investigate.

Why A Bunch Of Real Dicks Keep Throwing Fake Ones | Defector Every misogynist joke poses a question to its female audience: Can you laugh along? Will you be chill or are you going to make a big deal out of this? Are you going to be a bitch about it? Arriving in...

I find the dildo thing pretty appalling so I wrote a bit about why

Normally I'd come up with some reason to brush it off but honestly everyone should be jealous of a week in Le Pouliguen 🙂

Just fell asleep in a chair in the living room for 45 minutes which is exactly what this vacation is supposed to be about. 😄

The US has become a fascinating example of what happens to a population when it is too safe, too healthy, and too rich for too long. The anti-vax movement, the COVID denials, this sunscreen nonsense. It all stems from ppl who've never had to experience consequence.

Re-read the entirety of @jollyjack.bsky.social's Sequential Art comic (collectedcurios.com) over the last couple of days. Why? I dunno ... seemed like a good idea at the time. It's a fun comic!

In my ideal tax system, there are no capital gains. All income is income, and there is a sliding scale that tops out at 100% taxation for anything over, oh, let's say 10x the national median income. This not only redistributes an incredible amount, it also encourages efforts to raise that median.

I had fruit salad

... and maybe five or six Breton butter cookies.

If someone replies “you forgot [such and such]” to a post I won’t actually block them but I will briefly wish mild discomfort on them.
I didn’t forget. I posted what I wanted to post. You just decided you wanted to be cleverer than me.

45°C = 113°F. Current forecast is 107°F in Bordeaux for Monday. France has very low AC penetration versus the US. Heat waves kill.

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.

Haha "police shortages"

We definitely need more people to cower outside an elementary school while someone inside murders children, and then go brutalize someone for rolling through a stop sign. Don't have enough of those people yet.

Particularly one that can't accurately count the number of a certain letter in a given word

All of the penicillin in use worldwide comes from a strain of mold that was growing on a cantaloupe bought at a grocery store in Peoria, Illinois in 1942.

In my ideal tax system, there are no capital gains. All income is income, and there is a sliding scale that tops out at 100% taxation for anything over, oh, let's say 10x the national median income. This not only redistributes an incredible amount, it also encourages efforts to raise that median.

I want it on public record that if I ever get rich, I'm fine being taxed. Heavily. I believe that wealth redistribution is a public good (and necessity) and yes, yes, YES, I absolutely would rather trust bureaucracy to do that redistribution than corporations, who very clearly won't.

When I watch a cable news anchor complaining or warning against raising taxes on the rich, I like to Google their estimated salaries.

They are almost always the rich.

A vast white sand and she'll beach, currently at very low tide. The seaside condos and hotels of La Baul are visible in the distance, as is the Atlantic ocean.

I take this picture every year. First walk to the beach (literally two minutes from the house).

Yeah, it really doesn't reward non-lethal options much except in very specific missions. I guess the idea is that in most cases you're killing gang members so who cares ... but the game goes out of its way to show how desperate people are and why they would join gangs in the first place.

Inplay V almost completely non-lethal for several reasons, one of them definitely being that her scolding Johnny makes very little sense seconds after she's finished murdering like three dozen people to get a datashard or whatever.

Officially.on vacation. The Baltics were amazing but not a relaxing trip. Took much to see and do! Now we're in Le Pouliguen on the west coast of France for a week, one of my true happy places, where there is nothing much to do and no particular pressure to do it.

Every actor who cultivated a liberal fanbase before signing on to the Harry Potter reboot:

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

Y'all could we please stop fucking using ChatGPT just to prove how bad ChatGPT is? Like.... C'mon.
