this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

Every day feels more and more like a chess game I keep ending in a stalemate because I'm terrible at chess

It's becoming less of a rhetorical question these days.

Kyle wolf @CRXSSF4DE . someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue. it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

This is the aesthetic of the future

Pittsburgh News:

Big Pritz you gotta go put your body on the line here man. You’re getting shown up by furry ravers and Presbyterians.

So excited for these cats’ groundbreaking French EDM album

They’re just gonna do a little lite slavery.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

It took me a second to figure out the person on trial is the victim of the shooting and not the ice agent who shot somebody

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

I feel close to the same about goats. Like, wow for a prey animal you sure are a fucking asshole, both to me, who feeds and cares for you, and to your goat brethren. How about you get in my freezer?

fun fact: domestic pigs are genetically identical to wild boar

additional fun fact: the giant crossbar on boar spears is because, if you use a regular spear to stick a boar, it will *charge down the spear* to take you with it to piggy Valhalla

the olives meme straight from the jar but instead it’s watch 2 hours of Heat

that’s right

Flying cars are the perfect example of a point solution: trying to solve a systemic problem (traffic) with an individual product (fly over the traffic).

But traffic is not a technology problem; it's a social problem. Remote work, congestion fees, and dense transit-connected housing solve it better.

Yup. And single-engine aircrafts. We have flying cars, they're just way too expensive and impractical for most Americans to use. Welcome to the real, unequal future!

Matt Yglesias QT'ing Corey Walker I didn’t rejoice at her cancellation and got cancelled myself at roughly the same time, but I am sincerely jealous that no regime-aligned billionaire has even fit to curry favor with the Trump administration by giving me a huge sum of money. https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/1975375120123478491 Quote Corey Walker @CoreyWriting · 16h The vitriol against Bari Weiss is just thinly-veiled jealousy by people who rejoiced at "cancelling" her in 2020 and are furious she managed to get fabulously wealthy in an infamously brutal and low-paying industry.

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.

They really don't want to release the Epstein Files, huh.

What'd you call me?

first day on the job at cbs news. they're sending me to oberlin with a $20 a day stipend to find out what college students think about zohran mamdani's facial hair. i paid $125k for a journalism degree from columbia

It’s really neat that for awhile pundits like this were saying “why can’t Zohran clearly and directly denounce the violence of Hamas?” and when he clearly and directly denounces the violence of Hamas they go “but he didn’t do it with any poetry! It wasn’t beautiful! I demand panache!”

a great thread but this is especially fascinating

announcer (grimly, after decades of lawless misrule): there's no rule that says a dog can't do any of these things

air bud: (disbands food safety protocols and rolls back environmental regulatory acts)
