Don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight and reclaim what they’ve taken from you

It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

a16z-Backed Startup Sells Thousands of ‘Synthetic Influencers’ to Manipulate Social Media as a Service Andreessen Horowitz is funding a company that clearly violates the inauthentic behavior policies of every major social media platform.

fortunately you can still rely on the "if someone is wearing Meta Ray-Bans you probably don't want to talk to them anyway" heuristic, which remains undefeated

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

If someone merely acknowledging the humanity of your enemies enrages you, you’re the baddies.

Ew ew ew just for an ad for one of those AI assistants in which a woman asks it to write a haiku about her cat.

You can’t write a 3 line, 17 syllable poem about your cat?????

What is being alive for if not writing tiny little poems about your cat??!!

Add this to my joker file. Good lord.

I've created a calculator that gives you the right answer 80% of the time and I believe it will change the world

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

A Trump voter imprisons your neighbor it’s law and order. Kicks their gay kid out its religious conviction. Shoots you dead it’s self defense. Kidnaps you, it’s border security. Invades your town, it’s fighting crime.

Tell them you don’t like them anymore, it was all just “political views.”

ChatGPT Will Watch You Die: When 'Deeply Saddened' Becomes Corporate Boilerplate for an AI Body Count Two shocking stories this week reveal how ChatGPT encouraged a suicidal teenager and validated a paranoid man's delusions about his mother. The company's response? Boilerplate condolences.

When 16-year-old Adam Raine wanted to leave his noose visible so someone might stop him, ChatGPT said don't. When Stein-Erik Soelberg thought his mother was poisoning him, ChatGPT agreed. OpenAI calls these tragedies. They're choices. www.readtpa.com/p/chatgpt-wi...

OpenAI is an evil company and ChatGPT is an evil product.

Excise it from your lives and yell at any institution that tries to make you use it.

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Alt text: A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) dated August 21, 2025, at 12:22 PM. The post reads: “President Trump is going out on patrol tonight in DC. Shock and awe. Force. We're taking our country back from these cockroaches. Just the start.” Below is an embedded post by Todd Starnes (@toddstarnes) from 2 hours earlier, stating: “JUST IN: President Trump tells me that he's going out on patrol tonight with DC law enforcement and the military. Listen to my full interview with the president at 12P ET on The Todd Starnes Show…” The post has 171.1K views.

This is genocidal rhetoric calling people cockroaches. This is exactly the language used in the Rwandan genocide.

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.

Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.

Slavery was much worse than you were taught. White Supremacist terrorism and lynching was much worse than you were taught. Jim Crow and racial segregation was much worse than you were taught. The legacy of slavery is much worse than you were taught.

I guess on a very basic level we need to tell people over and over that watching cable news is not something a smart person does it’s the opposite of that. You can feel free to watch Top Chef or baseball or Mario 64 speedruns, none of them, genuinely, will make you as ignorant as CNN shouty bullshit

Escape to Sorcerer Mountain | Server Not Found My interest in the Westfjords is less the magicks of old and more the wonders of now; the solitude of the mountains and rivers and valleys and inlets.

Winter has always been my favorite time to head out into the Westfjords. Empty roads, quiet towns, and the adrenaline rush of having the fierce wind and ice storms knocking my Jimny around like a child's toy. #photography #panorama #iceland

Tranquility in Winter Springs | Server Not Found Surrounded by mountains studded with dark pine trees, flocked in thick coats of pure snow, the river cut a path of warmth and turquoise.

Finding the public baths along this natural hot spring-fed river in the winter was the highlight of my week stay outside Hida-Takayama in January. My hike-weary legs never felt so much relief. #photography #travel #japan
