Thank you! Love you and love the community fandom. Unrelated, that is one of the worst pics I've ever taken. The other is me inexplicably in a cabbie hat. If anyone knows how to scrub photos from the internet, hmu.

this headline implies something that I'm sure isn't true. Gen Zers who are swimming in debt are not shopping at luxury stores. There are haves and have-nots in that generation like in every generation.

I asked Gemini about this, but it might have spat out a hallucination. I have a vague memory of seeing, at Detroit Pistons games in Cobo Arena, a little person who sat at the scorer's table. Detroiters, do you remember this?

An earlier generation of social conservatives would have been apoplectic if Kid Rock was on the Super Bowl. He would have represented the destruction of American values to them. All social conservatives ever do is delay social change by one generation.

I love how they're saying we need a colony on Mars because one day the earth will be uninhabitable. Like Mars.

President Trump posted a provocative image today of Barack and Michele Obama as monkeys in a jungle. Not everyone is happy about it.

Saddest thing here is I clearly didn’t know Nora Ephron was dead. If I had, her name would most certainly been last.

I’m pretty sure no, but could Trump be Andy Kaufman doing a bit?

State of the tv business:

THOU SHALT NOT PROTECT PEDOS!!! WHY THE FUCK IS THIS SENDER’S NAME REDACTED?!?

You can put Big in front of something and make it a punchline. Know who doesn't want you to know that? Big Punchline.

What if someone ran on "Make America Good Again?"

A screenshot of a text-message exchange. At the top, a contact labeled “Larry Summers” sends: “I’d be happy to have a rational affair w yellow peril.” Below, the recipient replies: “A rational affair?! Did you have a stroke since we last spoke?” followed by: “I would suggest you are looking to her to fill too many of your needs. Without you being able to fill hers.” A later message from “Larry Summers” reads: “Possibly right which leaves the question of what I should do. Not sure that deciding I don’t need any attention affection is so viable.” He continues: “I’m not so sure that being mentored by me, having me support her child, being elevated to a leader on China in global economy by collaborating with me and getting to have me as partner if she can find courage to tell her parents is really so useless.” Time stamps appear next to each message, and the recipient’s messages are shown as sent and read.

Larry Summers, seen here somehow managing to have the worst gender politics in the room while in a one on one conversation with JEFFREY FUCKING EPSTEIN.

The next Trump is studying the mistakes of this one.

Shout out to the cremes and ointments in metal tubes where you squeeze them just a little but the stuff keeps oozing out on its own schedule, and then you get to see if you can reverse the flow by pinching it on the sides you all know what I'm talking about.

shaq missed a huge entrepreneurial opportunity not patenting shaquille oatmeal

Case in point: "Hey clawdbot, can you go through my Notes app and figure out the names of all the students I taught in my screenwriting classes, and then go through my gmail and make sure that any emails to or from those people are moved to my Students folder?"

Okay Clawdbot/Moltbot is the thing that really makes me see what an AI assistant will be like. This tech will eventually be ubiquitous and invisible, just an evolution of "talk to the computer like a person" stuff. But persistent memory and the ability to "teach" it are the killer apps.

Down for, like, anything?

This one is a real puzzle

Remember when this guy showed up at an Obama speech like this and he wasn’t wrestled to the ground and killed by feds?

far more people die each year by slipping on pears than on banana peels but you never hear about it because it doesn't fit the narrative

Didn’t we already have this?
