Brb just writing a screenplay about a struggling inflatable costume factory in a wholesome but dying American small town that unexpectedly helps save democracy, and democracy saves it right back.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Every SCOTUS ruling feels like America slowly writing its own obituary in Comic Sans.

“A life taken over can be wonderful. But it can also be sappy and stupid and dramatic. A play directed by God is many people’s stage of choice.”

From Rita Bullwinkel’s novel “Headshot,” about the drive to be the best at a given pursuit:

Just finished “Headshot” by Rita Bullwinkel, and that is a stunner of a novel.

A very mistaken list of the last 12 presidents of the United States and their years in office produced by the Ph.D level scholar known as ChatGPT-5. Includes John F. Katwady, president 1991-1968; George W. bush, president 220Z-1999), and Bill Christen, president 1999-2001

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

It's so crazy we live in a world where female athletes are striking for better wages and dodging sex toys being thrown at them, while trans athletes are being accused of evil scheming so they can play women's sports, which pays well and is highly dignified. It's almost like someone's full of shit

If one journalist was just bold enough to ask him, “were you just not rich enough to be invited to the island”, he would crack.

Hope it all turns out well, Wendy! ❤️

If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.

Echo chamber? ECHO CHAMBER?!? This site has BOTH people who think Moby Dick is the greatest novel ever written AND people who know the real GOAT is Middlemarch!!

being in predominately american internet spaces is like hearing your coworker audibly sobbing at their desk and every 10 minutes they get another text that makes them sob harder

It’s almost like these people are so used to using money as a power tool they’ve forgotten that people exist who don’t have to be bought, but rather actually WANT to help others: not for a payday, but out of genuine love for their community. They simply can’t process authenticity.
