Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

joyce carol oates' destruction of elon musk has extended to saying she's a fan of vivian wilson. incredible stuff the internet gave us, like octogenarian novelists being familiar with gen z e-celebrities

When we got home we were talking of the old time—which we could all look back on without despair, for Godalming and Seward are both happily married. I took the papers from the safe where they had been ever since our return so long ago. We were struck with the fact, that in all the mass of material of which the record is composed, there is hardly one authentic document; nothing but a mass of typewriting, except the later note-books of Mina and Seward and myself, and Van Helsing's memorandum. We could hardly ask any one, even did we wish to, to accept these as proofs of so wild a story. Van Helsing summed it all up as he said, with our boy on his knee:—

congrats to the grooms on their 125th anniversary. so glad they found each other

I know that "hypothetical opposite" critiques are worn out, but it's hard to imagine NYT reportage writing, say, that "evangelical colleges have turned into demented hot houses for fascist political orthodoxy" without a direct quote.

a couple of years ago, whenever i'd say that joe biden should be doing this or that, i would get responses from his supporters explaining that the president can't just do whatever he wants. he has to follow all these rules and norms and laws and such, apparently

Every homemade sriracha recipe is like, “it tastes just like the kind at the store!” Great, so I will keep buying it at the store

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Can the Manhattan Project avoid building the nuclear bomb?

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

I think Dracula could defeat Frankenstein but I don’t think Count Chocula could defeat Frankenberry and that speaks to the richness of the characters

once again wishing democratic politicians and pundits would speak out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

cities are "real america" just as much as any twee main street or dying industrial town

Friends, if you haven’t been to a normie protest before, please don’t let some nutters on the internet worry you that you’re going to be tear gassed and beaten, it will be fine. By all means be reasonably cautious, but this is not a black bloc event okay? It’s fine.

losing my mind at “paper-based”. Do you mean fucking paper

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

It will never not bother me to hear “unalived” or “graped”. We’ve more than proved that banning language only creates different words for the same topics that we absolutely need to be talking about. Stop making serious issues sound less serious by banning the real heavy words. They’re not the issue
