If you wanna be radicalized against GenAI, try running an online business while these thieving shitbricks try to scrape your site at all hours of the day, creating a looping, endless DDoS.

Fuck generative "AI." It's all slop built on wholesale theft.

I know it’s totally not the point, but he doesn’t seem to realize that you don’t have to put down a dead dog. It’s already down if it’s dead. What a maroon.

What do you think the civilization that finds our ruins will think the little black rectangles were?

Newspaper clipping showing the front page of the Chicago Sunday Tribune's Society section from August 28, 1927. Under NEWS OF CHICAGO SOCIETY are pictures of four 1920s society dames who look like they're planning one last caper before they leave the life for good. A column to the right lists their names and the fact that they are to be September brides.

disappointed this article isn't about how these 4 women can't resist one last heist before they go legit

I swear to god, these rich kid spoiled frat boy ivy league skull and bones entitled out of their depth motherfuckers. They have absolutely no idea how literally anything works or happens. I'd be funny if it wasn't other people's hands juggling their live grenades during russian grenade roulette.

oh hey look more proof positive that the best response to a trump lawsuit is “fuck you, make me.” hope everyone who gave in without a fight feels like the utter rubes they are.

But Dadaelus is the Dad!

It's always "trying to bring about the rapture" and never the part of the bible about eliminating all debts.

If they were really serious about biblical teachings all loans (including credit card debt) would be wiped at the end of seven years

Did you know you can rent movies you might never otherwise know existed on Letterbox? Including this wonderful Ukrainian scifi film? Volodymyr Kravchuk is fantastic in a role that's all him, all the time. And the shots of space? Gorgeous.

"always the golfer, never the wildfire victim."

This is why you don't put religious fanatics in charge.

Is it not good military strategy to promote an illegal and criminal act of war as a way to "bring about Armageddon"?

Between roughly 1971 and 1994 there was only one year with less than 1500 murders in NYC.

In 1990 there were more than 2200. Six per day basically

Six murders. Per day.

Last year, 2025, there were 305.

The north wind doth blow,
And we shall have snow,
And what will poor Robin do then?
Poor thing.
He’ll sit in a barn,
And keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his wing,
Poor thing.

Or hang out with Thrushes
Who aren’t in a rushes
Eating berries and singing for spring,
sweet thing.

A round, fluffy black plush monster with two small pink horns, a tiny stitched smile, and wide white eyes, sitting on a black and white patterned surface.

I am terribly sorry to interrupt your doomscrolling, but tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Black Yeti Plush. Look how cute he is. Every yeti is actually black, but most people think they are white because they're always covered in snow.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

I wish she’d make her husband one of those sandwiches.

also homophobia went down a bunch, the things ppl used to casually say when I was in HS in front of teachers would ends careers now, yes even now

AIDS went from being a thing that elders whispered about why so and so wouldnt ever be coming around again to a thing people just take meds for on cycle like Type 2 Diabetes

this is so real

Trump has been compared to Hitler by world leaders, been called dangerous and unfit by 50 GOP national security experts, has been said to have a dangerous mental illness by psychiatrists, and is now launching an illegal war. Why is he still in office?

More dangerous, in fact. There have been studies.

We aren’t angry enough.

Yes, that’s the one I was thinking of; I got the title wrong. The 1980s Twilight Zone was a worthy successor to the original. It hit hard.

A brief overview of the hit songs of the 1980s will reveal exactly how thoroughly Armageddon was in the zeitgeist.

Toss in a side of Stanislav Petrov and then add the note that the goal of military AI is to automate him out of existence

speaking as someone old enough to remember, the Cold War was very bad and imminently apocalyptic in ways our life today isn’t, but the psychic damage was different. We didn’t *know* about Able Archer until years later. I’d say this is much more of a constant assault on dignity and sanity.
