Nevertheless, we persist.

We're the horror show.

It's us.

Doctor Who could beat any dumbass Hogwarts wizard in a fight, prove me wrong

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:

Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Willful ignorance is a hell of a drug.

Wild how so many people choose soothing their own single ego over the smallest actions to prevent illness and death to so many.

It's depressingly self-defeating.

Post from Twitter: Ryan Zickgraf v @ryan_zickgraf-4h X/.. Has anyone written about the Covid Zero cult? Just trying to gauge how many people refuse to go to bars and restaurants and/or heavily mask everywhere in 2025. Lots of responses to this thread but it may be a small dedicated online thing.

I don’t know, I thought after Long Covid effectively ended my chance at a directing career, ruined my health, my energy, my ability to eat a lot of foods, and my body, it would seem pretty obvious why I don’t want to get it again, even going so far as to sacrifice (the horror!) bars and restaurants.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Sometimes my laurels look comfy and I would like to rest on them and I think that should be okay

I don’t use this gif enough

Starting well before college, and continuing into the workplace.

The sadly inescapable experience of existing while female.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

And they said to me, with tears in their eyes:

"Sir, this is a McDonald's."

You know us. For years, you watched and listened to our coverage of the Chicago area. As journalists, we did our best to bring you accurate, objective information about the people, events and issues that mattered. We hope we gained your trust. So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong. The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done and what they may do in other cities. We are retired, but our colleagues who are still on the job have shown you a brutal and illegal campaign against fellow Chicagoans, mainly Latinos: violent abductions, gutting families, using tear gas around children, roughing up witnesses, ramming cars and even taking a day care teacher from her school.

Powerful letter from retired Chicago broadcast journalists about what ICE/CBP is doing to our city: "it is terror"

the paramedics stopping compressions and asking my wife if she’d like to upgrade to CPR+ for $21.99

It's one stock, Michael. What could it cost, $10?

steamed hams!

I keep on thinking about how prescient Hitchhiker’s Guide was about AI. Every time I see anything about it my brain yells “listen up you stupid computer, it tastes filthy”

Sometimes the least of us are the most

The kind, patient people trusted to care for your community's children are clearly the worst of us, it seems.

...or are they just easier targets for Vanilla ICE?

Cowards.

If you want to know the mood of the country, I have now come across multiple videos of people playing Red Dead Redemption 2 where they just go massacre and brutalize every Klan member they find, with caption “making 1899 a better place”

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Had the unpleasant realization that what we have is the national equivalent of a bunch of angry gaming YouTubers suddenly being put in charge of an actual triple-A game studio

The Fibbing Nacho Sequence

Well now I just want to ruin it more.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.
