I keep seeing YouTube ads for some presumably AI text-to-speech app, and their tagline is “we read to you anything” and I’m like, y’all…this sounds like you can neither speak nor read.

Minneapolis we love you.

In today’s Spelling Bee, “cockblocked”would be a pangram if the @nytimes weren’t SUCH COWARDS.

The President today defended federal agents’ killing of an unarmed protester in Minneapolis, then threatened military action against Iran for *checks notes* killing protesters…

I can’t think of a single other monkey escape in my 45 years on this earth, but there have been three in the past three months.

The New York Times does news??!? I thought they were a crossword company.

I cannot believe that, in the year of our lord 2025 I am forced to periodically update my television, then re-log into my television manufacturer’s account system, update my password because I haven’t logged in in 60 mo, then enter my password again, before I can watch television.

“Good-faith” is doing a lot of work for a guy who said gay people should be stoned to death.

This Cracker Barrel Logo fiasco is wild y’all. Like, sure, the new logo is bland, but I don’t understand how it is woke. It still has the word “cracker” in it guys.

I, oddly enough, am acquainted with one of those people.

Kendrick is my hating role model. I aspire to hate someone so hard an entire stadium sings along with how much I hate them. Someday, lord willing.

Is there anything we can do to get it here sooner?

The Sunday Scaries brought to life.

We’re gonna need more than this.

BREAKING NEWS: 4:07

Anti-deportation protesters are blocking traffic on 101 Freeway in Los Angeles.

Making America Great Again!

FAA Chief Quit on Jan. 20 After Elon Musk Told Him to Resign Michael Whitaker had only been in the role for a year but the SpaceX chief accused him of “harassment.”

FAA chief Michael Whitaker tries to fine Musk over SpaceX violations.

Musk attacks Whitaker on Twitter and demands his resignation and ‘radical reform’ at the FAA. Whitaker resigns on January 20th.

The deadliest US plane crash since 2001 occurs a week later.

We are not safe with Musk in charge.

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

They should all go on Fox and in front of every camera they can find and say, over and over, all day long, "TRUMP DID THIS BY FIRING COMPETENT PEOPLE AND HE'S MAKING US ALL LESS SAFE EVERY DAY WITH HIS ILLEGAL BULLSHIT AND UNQUALIFIED CABINET".

The best adaptation for sure!

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy’s letter to Senators setting the truth about her cousin RFK jr Straight

Democrats could win a lot of hearts and minds if they stopped trying to raise money for themselves and started raising money for people and orgs affected by the spending freezes.

The cruelty is the point. The power grab is the point. They aren’t going to listen to ideas. So maybe the better idea would be to fight back.

Stop telling us what Trump is doing and tell us what you are going to do, besides rubber-stamping Trump’s appointees who will continue this dismantling of our government. We need leadership, so LEAD.

There's a decent chance that driving a gas car for the last decade had less of a negative impact on the planet than supporting Elon Musk's rise to power by buying a Tesla

'The Brutalist' Criticised For Its Use of AI Awards favourite 'The Brutalist' is now causing a split among its audience after it was revealed that AI was during a key scene of the film.

Wait so, hold on, a 3.5-hour epic pean to the value of artistic integrity used labor-stealing generative AI both to alter the actor's performances and do some pretty important production design work? featurefirst.net/the-brutalis...
