I am reading that New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin and I cannot overemphasize how much he is a stupid person's idea of what a smart person sounds like. I resent having to know who this man is. I wish to wipe him from my memory.

8 panel comic Panel 1: Yellow guy is working on a laptop in the background. In the foreground is a Brand Manager. Yellow Guy: “Sir, shall I put up our rainbow profile picture?” Panel 2: Brand Manger snaps his head round and hisses “Cool your jets, Eugene. I’m checking the Profitometer” Panel 3: Gonna do my best to explain this. We see The Profitometer. A huge machine that whirs and ticks. A digital display at the top of the machine reads “Supporting Pride equals”Beneath this display is a huge gauge with “Max Loss” on the left and “Max profit” on the right. There is a needle that is pointing exactly half way between the two extremes. Panel 4: Close up on Brand Manager’s face. His teeth are gritted. Sweat trickles down his brow. Panel 5: Close up on gauge. The needle remains exactly central Panel 6: Close up on Brand Manager’s eyes. They are concentrating intensely. Also, more sweat. Panel 7: Close up on the gauge. The needle clicks ONE DEGREE towards profit Panel 8: Brand Manager screams like a football coach “GO GAY EUGENE”

I entered a supermarket last week in Northern Europe that was trialing an AI assistant on those self hand scanning things you carry around. Apparently it recommends accompanying items based on what you'd already scanned. Deranged corporate mindrot stuff

This reminds me: the last few months I've been revisiting a lot of late 90s and early 2000s MMO stuff. Runescape, Everquest, Ultima etc. It's been such a rich nostalgic experience, and become very clear there's a magic to older games that is rarely itched nowadays.

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

It's the same! @CRBoniface I assume I got caught in some sort of filter from following someone or responding to something. Thank you, I appreciate it :)

A new Pynchon, a new PTA-Pynchon, a new Pope, a new country I'm living in, and a new citizenship. For all it's horrible facets, 2025 is shaping up to be a really interesting year personally. I just need to actually get on top of writing 😅

(@taylorlorenz.bsky.social pls forgive me, I probably said something that was really dumb at some point, but I really like your writing!)

Finding out I'm blocked on twitter by a journalist I really like and regularly read, but have never interacted with, is my personal 9/11. What did I do! 😭

this hasan vs ethan debate

Rockstar announcing that GTA VI is delayed to May 2026 is because they don't want to get smoked by Clair Obscur for GOTY. I will accept no alternative theory.

Momentous day for rabid homophobes who converted to Catholicism as adults and also gay people who loved conclave

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt).

Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders /
envelopes.

happy ten year anniversary to this post

anyone who is acting like the US and el salvadore simply accidently deported the wrong people and can’t find them is lying because they don’t want to admit they rather like that fascistic deporting of political enemies into death camps is essentially legal now

Good morning Bluesky !

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

as always I am finding it very difficult to work

And our landlord has now confirmed he's selling the property, so if we don't get it all sorted ASAP, we're going to have to move *again* prior to finalising buying.

Ok rant over.
