Mardi Gras 2026 by Neil Carpenter Photography

That also works for Mardi Gras (which, I would argue, is as religious). (Not the same t-shirt but I did see a few titties and beer shirts)

I think this is a distinction without a difference -- if he doesn't know what the term means and if, subsequently, somebody explained it to him, he would 100% be all in on slaughtering everybody.

Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign.

Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.

'Mr. Hell moved to New York at the age of 17 determined to be a poet. But New York “wasn’t the bohemian paradise I’d fantasized it was going to be,” he said. “Everybody was really competitive, even though there was nothing to win.” '

Perfect.

AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

When I was doing incident response, I talked to Microsoft's lawyers _frequently_. I called my counsel up one day and said, "I have a question that's about to ruin your day."

"Neil, you couldn't ruin me day!"

I asked my question and she confirmed that I might've, in fact, ruined her day.

Pet peeve of mine -- now that the US is on daylight savings time, it's EDT/CDT/MDT/PDT, not EST/CST/MST/PST. If you send me a note asking if we can meet at 10:00am EST, I will take off my glasses, pinch the bridge of my nose, and sigh wistfully at you every time.

You can use ET/CT/MT/PT year round.

I believe we should all operate on UTC. Timezones are a crutch.

I know some of you might read this and say "these people can't be stupid! These people run companies! They make huge deals! They read all these books!" and my answer is that some of the stupidest people I've ever met have read more books than you or I will read in a lifetime. While they might be smart when it comes to corporate chess moves or saying "this product category should do this," none of these men - not Altman, Pichai or Nadella - actually has a hand in the design or creation of any of the things their companies make, and they never, ever have.
Regardless, I have a larger point: it's time to start mocking these people and tearing down their legends as geniuses of industry. They are not better than us, nor are they responsible for anything that their companies build other than the share price (which is a meaningless figure) and the accumulation of power and resources.
These men are neither smart nor intellectually superior, and it's time to start treating them as such.

I also recommend if possible to find whatever humor you can. Make fun of these people. Lampooning them doesn’t discount the seriousness of their actions or the destruction of their works - it undermines their power and status and names, and lightens the soul

I'd go so far as to say schools have no business being involved in sports.

I notice that @talkingpointsmemo.com didn't bother to reach out to God's representatives for confirmation that Gonzales has been forgiven. That's just sloppy journalism.

I trained a generative AI model entirely on Rage Against The Machine lyrics. Can't tell if this is useful, every time I ask it for something, it replies "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me."

> Criticizing Microsoft as "Microslop" while spreading fake AI slop cannot go hand in hand!

I can tell this poster isn't an Alanis Morissette fan.
