older guy in front of me at grocery store dripping sweat in a tank top with a USMC tattoo just bought a head of lettuce and 4 half price bottles of vodka with an amex black card and his lock screen was a picture of the muppet Beaker

i was not familiar with your game ken jennings

I got on a conference call first thing this morning with my boss and he asked me what my shirt said, so I had to explain that it was a cute dog sailor with the text TOTAL INFORMATION COLLAPSE & THE END OF ALL CONSENSUS REALITY, THE DAMAGE CANNOT BE UNDONE

hey is it cool if we go ahead and mediate all of human life through screens and subscriptions

*mouth slowly opening as i realize the logical endpoint of capitalism is one wizened, soulless old man holding the full sum of the world's material wealth, sitting on a throne built from the corpses of the rest of us* Shit sorry, brain fart. I'll have 3 mcdoubles please

wow googles new product Irremovable Poison in the Well v.3 is actually pretty neat! imagine how much better it will get on v.4

"this man is for the birds" on rotation in my head for 10+ years

Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza

Noble beast surveys his domain

She does understand it. She does. Stop letting them get away with this bumbling idiot shit. That they’re hiding under the facade of a woman who it’s easy to pin the ditz on. They’re fascists. They’re saying it into existence.

Is AI now designed to force errors and sloppiness onto the lucky few of us content writers and editors who still have jobs? Like wtf; just absolute poison

"Society has gone too far in accommodating trans people" is an utter joke of a position because if we're being absolutely honest society has barely done anything at all to accommodate us besides letting us leave the house and if we're white letting us come home at the end of the day.

"amid a growing recognition that women's pain should be treated" *blinks*

i love john candy so fucking much

rotating an apple in my mind

They've become increasingly shitty in accessibility too. Microsoft bought Dragon NaturallySpeaking (voice control software) and left it to rot. Mobility-impaired users like myself are fucked. We can do fewer and fewer things by voice with every update

For those keeping score: “body count” used to mean number killed, then it meant number slept with, now it means number killed again Raw dog is now a wholesome word that means doing something boring without any diversions

accepting counsel from this wise baby

87-year-old great aunt making a good point here

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

Moving day. I was gonna ask everyone to pray for Roger but he's already discovered the redwing blackbirds at the new place

RIP these cats

I am fascinated by volcanos (and outer space) but because of some weird adult-onset phobia can't look at footage/pictures of them but this video functions perfectly just as a listen 🎧

What really depresses me is I expected all the genocide-indifferent liberals to flip to “it’s clearly a genocide” once Trump took office but instead they are more committed to defending Biden and Harris still, when it’s clear they both fully supported mass Palestinian death the whole time. Psychotic

also love the shitlib tendency to associate disastrous COVID outcomes with trump, as if biden and liberals didn't run with the football starting in 2021

Has anyone figured out how to drink hot coffee lying down

I feel seen

the worst shitlibs are having a pool party in the comments of this one
