Pam Bondi Thought That Went Pretty Well

Pam Bondi Thought That Went Pretty Well

A few days following the King Kong “incident,” New Yorkers return to business as usual.

A few days following the King Kong “incident,” New Yorkers return to business as usual.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

If Europe found a way for him to save face and move on, great. But Carney's speech was still spoken and was still true. The bell has rung.

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

The most pathetic man alive.

Screenshot of a post on X by Pop Crave (@PopCrave) saying: “Billie Eilish condemns ICE in new Instagram reposts:” followed by a large quoted statement calling ICE “a federally funded and supported terrorist group” under the Department of Homeland Security and saying it has done nothing to make streets safer. Below the text is a two-image layout: on the left, a photo of Billie Eilish wearing a black suit jacket and white shirt, looking to the side; on the right, two Instagram Story-style screenshots with text blocks on dark backgrounds.

Glad to see more artists speaking out against ICE.

I dunno what it is, probably the way they’re all standing around stunned, reminds me of a specific scene from ”Kentucky Fried Movie“.

I heard a good point. If that officer felt “threatened” by that lady such that he had to kill her, he is too fragile to be a cop.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

When we miss the Old Internet it's not just nostalgia, it's missing a time when online culture was driven by people who were really good at written communication rather than people who really liked to be on camera and hear themselves talk.

It is our 12ft skeleton dressed in a Santa costume, holding a leash to his giant Skelly dog who is dressed as Rudolph

What’s a Skelly Claus without his Rudolph

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

An Addams Family cartoon in which Gomez sees snow outside the window and says “Suddenly, I have a dreadful urge to be merry.”

Post-Halloween mood.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Do you know how badly things have to be going in America for us to be owned this hard by the Dutch? The Dutch of all people

Genuinely not clear if the signal-to-noise ratio created by this specific guy will help his murderer escape justice

*DOG: “You're finally back! I missed you so much!!”

Two carvings of a tooth. Inside are scenes from Hell.

"The Tooth Worm as Hell's Demon,” 18th century. The two halves open up to reveal a scene about the infernal torments of a tooth worms which people believed caused cavities in the past. Complete with mini skulls, hellfire, and naked people wielding clubs.

A drawing of a horse. The front half of the horse is black. The back half of the horse is white. The tail is black. Text reads: I defragged my zebra

This one is only for Blueskyers of a certain age.

This is good, very, very good.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

it has been said over and over but it’s worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.
