This is fucking demented these big tech companies are just completely out of their fucking minds.

Advertisers know that what your friends think is far more important to your purchasing decisions than ads are. No wonder they're trying to substitute bots for your friends

i don’t know. the ideas he was getting from his circle about how to get to heaven can’t have been good ones either. there’s a credible argument that it’s best he stop trying

it’s maybe worse that he’s accepted this

A first look at tomorrow's front page of The National 📰

How genocide happened

Congo, films of that nature

There we go.

Earth 2!

I know he’s mostly remembered for that movie but to me Tim Curry was the guy who was just kinda everywhere for a bit in the nineties. Command & Conquer. Lexx. A third title

“The president…started telling close associates how impressed he was by video of Israeli air strikes that he watched on Fox … (which literally made him go: “Wow”) gave him more optimism about the possible effectiveness of directly attacking Iran.

Soon after that, he bombed Iran.”

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

Pilot: (on intercom) There are no air traffic controllers today so everybody look out the window and holler if you see another plane

Terrified he died but delighted that it’s just him talking about cocaine

No. No. No.

(Nothing against Steven, I used to do this too until I learned that it was a bad idea.)

Swim goggles hit by a projectile (like a tear gas canister or pepper ball) can direct force to the area around your eyeball and pop it out of your skull.

NOT desirable.

(seeing Chewbacca on stage at the medal ceremony in A New Hope) hey what the fuck that's the guy who ripped my arms off when i won battle chess

do they mostly involve cats

Somebody made this mock flyer for the Turning Point halftime show, and I keep seeing it shared on X by MAGA types very excited by it and not realizing it’s making fun of them

Jesus fucking christ the sadism of these people is insatiable

A good 40% of being a conservative is just self-induced psychosis from believing that posting banal op-eds on the internet is some sort of subversive act of rebellion. Self victimization levels are off the goddamn charts here

I have been informed that this actor (Charles Korsmo) actually does work for the Federalist Society, which is astounding because I was just making a joke about the character

it’s very jarring to run up against someone who has killed their capacity to feel shame. how do you even proceed? what can you actually say to a sally jenkins, a caitlin flanagan, that will get them to start acting like a person who knows that lying is bad

My grandmother: *utters a long diatribe in Yiddish*

My friend: "what did she say?"

Me: "she said that life is a whimsical dance of ups and downs and the only rule is the music stops"

My grandmother: *in Yiddish clearly indicating that not what she said*

Me: *nodding sagely* "She's so wise"

This photo of Robert Bloch is the most writer photo to have ever writer photo’d. It is Pure Writer Photo.

One of the things that I think we’ll see as the American government continues its slide towards openly corrupt oligarchy is Democrat and moderate leaders leaning harder to support it because if it’s ever accepted the government is “illegitimate” then their own power is put into question

How hot are tear gas (CS) grenades?

Impossible to know – range from old studies:

572°F to 1,472°F
300°C to 800°C

Even the smoke(!) as well as the vaporised CS emitted from a burning grenade are hot enough to cause burns.

Oven mitts aren't enough to protect if pick them up.

oh, please! that's a very inaccurate depiction!

they want at least $20
