I truly wish I enjoyed playing Cards Against Humanity, the game, because I feel like Cards Against Humanity, the company, represents something truly good in this world.

This is amazing.

I miss shame.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Repurposing Old Smartphones: When Reusing Makes More Sense Than Recycling When looking at the specifications of smartphones that have been released over the past years, it’s remarkable to see how aspects like CPU cores, clockspeeds and GPU performance have improved…

What's to be done with that old smartphone?

You are not immune to propaganda, oh wait you made your saving roll? You are immune to propaganda for twenty turns.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Just wild how the Culture of Masculinity is afraid of literally everything.

it's insane we let people who eat sweet bagels live in society with the rest of us. unmarked and hiding in plain sight, possibly influencing children into their perverted strawberry cream cheese cult

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

This is the saddest video of an Olympic champion team that I have ever seen.

Trump’s Epstein Scandal Takes Damning Turn as Dem Drops New Bombshell As new revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein saga threaten the president, a legal expert decodes what we just learned—and lays out a roadmap to what will happen now.

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up."

If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod:

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

Maybe NYC has too many police, if the police are this idle.

In a historic year for women at the Olympics, Trump specifically awarded male athletes with the presidential medal of freedom at the SOTU. They never cared about women’s sports. They never cared about women, period.

As early as the very first annotation, the scholar equates the self-appellation “Ishmael” with the narrator‘s identity, collapsing and forever foreclosing an ambiguity as to the narrator’s name, intentions, and reliability. In this essay I will…

DOJ Lawyers Who Cared Would Quit Ethical rules prescribe a clear path forward for the government attorneys being asked to violate the Constitution on a daily basis.

Hey, I wrote something for @ballsandstrikes.org!

“oh no, they added a movie normal people have heard of to the criterion collection” is a top 5 fakest problem of all time

Dear Fellow Americans: This is a friendly reminder that Trump decided to tax you an extra 15% for no other reason than he was mad at the Supreme Court. 🗽

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

Maybe he acts guilty because he is. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Trussmaxxing and Rees-Mogging.

Is this anything?

Which is wild, because to the extent Trump campaigned on any policies, those are certainly policies he campaigned on. He was the most coherent on being cruel about immigration.

These people voted for that.
