it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

I consider this equivalent to doing a set on Conan. Happy holidays! youtu.be/jguruHUWry4?...

Just sending a shoutout to my guy @hgstrp.com, who is really a solid person for so many reasons, and I appreciate him for each one. ♥️

A "modest margin" when Mamdani beat his next closest challenger by 8 points in a three-person race. Trump won by just 1.5% and it was played off as a seismic realignment of American politics and culture.

Bari Weiss gets the Trump endorsement, the logical endpoint of her fearless independent journalism at the Free Press

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

This is hella good

you should be able to steal a home run if you want to. just drop the bat and try to book it for the fence before anyone can tag you. if you can make it all the way out there and throw yourself over the fence, you're good

I stole the jewels from the Louvre. They looked delicious (they were). Sorry

the mariners just hit a ball over the fence. i'd imagine they have a backup baseball on hand for such occasions

book bindings on both sides. people keep prying them open from the right side and snooping around. mind your own business

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social In case you take suggestions for If Books Could Kill, you just got name-checked on the Banished podcast by Professor Jeffrey Aaron Snyder in reference to your HuffPost piece on cancel culture, in discussion around a new book by Adam Szetela called “That Book Is Dangerous!”

i think nba rookies should have to play their whole first season in a hat and suit. pay your dues and show some respect for the game

i feel like fox news is biased a lot of the time

Wearing your own merch is so fucking lame

Who’s selling “I Did That!” Trump stickers we can all stick on gas pumps?

This is absolutely insane shit to write down and publish. The left scared her. This might beat allll the other NYT headlines. Truly spectacular.

The GOP banned abortion, the GOP said they would prosecute doctors providing abortions, the 6 Republican appointed SCOTUS judges overturned Roe.

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

I really think this stands a chance at being the least popular war America ever fought. It’s just so viscerally idiotic

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

To figure out why something is bad, apply the word 'slop' to its genre, and work backwards

It’s humiliating to say “yeah let me get the corn” at Chipotle and I can’t explain why.

i don’t think that donald trump should have thrown the parade. i think it was a waste of time and money
