Wealth-hoarding dragons who howl in rage if even a single copper coin is taken from their lairs, how DARE you not understand they might invest that, now they have to get even MORE treasure to soothe their anxieties that they'll have no money.

The level of public self-declared "victimization" of *the richest and most powerful people in our society* is jaw-dropping at times.

Leaving Substack and Other Thoughts on Cutting Ties with Old Affiliations The Bugbear Dispatch is, as of today, two years old!

The Bugbear Dispatch is leaving Substack.

Please bear with me if this takes more than a week.

This newsletter is a smalltime, one-person operation bringing in about $17k per year, and I’m not a tech person.

When I’m done, more regular posting will resume

Someone should ask Kevin Roose why he so badly overestimated the maturity of autonomous driving (he wrote a piece in 2015 saying it was time to introduce legislation banning human drivers), what lessons he took away from the experience of being so wrong, and how he applies them to his views on AI.

sobbing on the toilet because openai deleted the model that told me how to wipe my ass

my going theory is that nobody currently working at openai with any authority knows what art is, even in theory. why else would all the images look like they were dipped in pee.

Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo My new video team has been reprimanded for stereotyping me. Cannoli privileges revoked Embedded video 6:54 PM · Aug 7, 2025 · 88.2K Views https://x.com/andrewcuomo/status/1953590710135058854

"Cannoli privileges revoked" is gonna bounce around in my head rentfree

Tolkien was EXPLICIT, and directly states in the narrative "humans chasing everlasting life and control over the world to oppress others is essentially the source of moral evil and social decay, fuck you reactionaries," Thiel just can't read.

Like these people *fundamentally think the text says the exact opposite of what it unequivocally says*. Peter Thiel seriously thinks the message of LoTR is "why can't we all be elves" when *humans acting like Peter Thiel is the direct reason for humanity's Fall, explicitly stated*.

RFK Jr: “We're developing a universal vaccine at NIH which is a vaccine that addresses the entire phylum of viruses.” “It's a vaccine that mimics natural immunity and it is effective against any kind of mutation.” “We believe it's gonna be effective against not only coronaviruses but also flu.” “And it's gonna be a much safer and a much more effective vaccine.”

RFK has announced that he is developing a vaccine against all viruses. Yes, every single one. The whole, uh, "phylum"

Thinking back to Wakefield capitalizing on the panic his fraudulent data created to promise a "safe" measles vaccine (that never arrived) that he could profit off of...

How it started/how it’s going.

Democratic cities and states need to start taking vengeance on quisling institutions like Penn and Columbia.

I'll say again that their charters should be revoked and their real estate seized by their municipalities, as an example to other higher ed institutions

John Leguizamo Rips ‘Moron’ Dean Cain for Joining ICE: ‘Your Pronouns Are Has, Been’ John Leguizamo lashed out at Cain in a social media post Friday afternoon, days after the former "Superman" revealed he was joining ICE after an appeal for more agents by Homeland Security boss Kristi...

My representative continues to be baffled that the Republicans she wants to cooperate with only want to immiserate the country, loot it, and hurt as many people as they can in the process.

She may also struggle with concepts like "linear time" or "cause and effect"; we're still figuring it out.

Maybe being "bipartisan" with the party that loudly only wants bad things to happen to your constituents is a terrible plan, Marie

Have you thought about that yet?

Right now the federal government sees it as beneficial that no one wants to work for them. I'm not sure how long they can sustain that. A year or two maybe?

it’s basically trite to note at this point but if this were any other president, and certainly a democrat, spending a ton of money to gild the white house would be a legit scandal

You can p easily find statements from multiple Ds condeming Trump & Hegseth for this move just on bluesky alone, actually, but in order to know that you actually have to want to see said statements & Caraballo has long made it clear that her actual goal is to just lie about Dems wherever possible.

It's always so funny to me that the Roman statue avi guys who run around quoting Marcus Aurelius every other post are ALSO the thinnest-skinned little "woke hurt my feelings" whiners on the planet

1:01 PM: "'Choose not to be harmed — and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed — and you haven’t been.' -Marcus Aurelius"

1:06 PM: "ever think about how the lady Ghostbusters remake was actually dude genocide"

this looks like a cutscene from a video game that can’t be played without an emulator

the gold detailing above the Oval Office entrance. the details are not very crisp.

A post that says "yes id like the landlord special please." shows the window frame having been painted over so many times, drips of paint have formed like stalactites

Don't make me tap the sign.

Her friends were 'terrified' of dating apps, so this 30-year-old founder turned to AI to help singles find love Nandini Mullaji saw a fundamental problem with modern dating: The apps were not a good way to meet people. So she launched an AI matchmaker, Sitch.

Every pitch for using ai is like “are you tired of making choices” and much to my dismay, a lot of people are.
