Every time Tesla stock rises, I wonder if it's due to some complex financial strategy, but no, it's because the dumbest fucks on the planet think Elon is going to make them personal robots.

Like many who grew up Extremely Online in the early Internet era, I wonder at how easily teens get radicalized, when the 90s Internet was still full of horrors in every dark corner. I figure it's because it's all so systematized into an efficient workflow of turning boys into hate demons.

Say what you will about Canadians, Bret Hart would NEVER add someone named Goldberg to a group chat

Checking in on how Google AI search is going. Seems fine + cool

I suspect "low information voters" is a good shorthand for every person in line ahead of you at a checkout who is apparently making a purchase for the very first time in their entire life

Not much to add here except that I feel obligated to note that @edzitron.com referred to CoreWeave as a "Time Bomb" with "utterly rancid" financial disclosure docs. No mention of investment in black coats, white shoes, black hats, or Cadillac.

Love how much the Internet in 2025 has turned into Plagiarism Machine that I've seen SEVERAL examples of someone sharing the Mark Rober Tesla stunt with "someone did this" as if it's impossible to figure out the identity of the world's second most popular vlogger.

To my mind it was during the George Floyd protests, when self-described libertarians got super quiet about the unsanctioned killing of an unarmed citizen by an agent of the state, that their conversion into authoritarianism was complete. Jillette had the good sense to say "yeah, no, this is awful."

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Every time I think, "this is it, this is the most simpering Quisling @nytimes.com headline imaginable," they go and outdo themselves

Small potatoes I know, but worth noting how even Trump wouldn't performatively "buy" a Cybertruck

Y'all why is the Substance Tom Brady on Jeopardy!

He went full bore villain during early COVID lockdown, but pitched a pointless hissy fit during the Thai cave rescue in 2018. I don't see a whole lot of model year 2017 or older Teslas out there, so...

Obviously some strayed from that and caused a ruckus of their own volition, but the Dem leadership STILL seems terminally incapable of putting down the 2015 playbook.

I can honestly think of no better way to signal that your opposition will be entirely performative than "let's all hold up cute little coordinated signs like some 'Ellen' bit."

Every now and again I remember that "Jimmy Pesto did J6" is a true statement and start to doubt we don't really live in a glitchy simulation

If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

Luv 2 hear older folks saying "aren't you worried about your retirement savings?" As if everyone under 45 doesn't already view retirement as some Victorian era classist frivolity we'll be too busy fighting in the climate wars to ever enjoy

Concorde is even more instructive: looked pretty, tried to break physics, never made money, ultimately discontinued. But unlike Concorde, which was always limited in scope, the entire tech industry has built a house of cards on AI that still burns more money than it makes with every prompt.

It’s time for the Milk Hotel to choose a side

WAPO: "Inside the Trump administration's error-plagued federal firing spree" NYT: "Cutting red tape" Not for the first time, what in the holy hell is wrong with @nytimes.com

If they gave out a Pulitzer in sanewashing, @nytimes.com has that on lock with "remaking the government" this morning

Today's a real one for the old "leftists don't understand voting, liberals don't understand anything other than voting"

Heard a college radio DJ refer to working full-time as "jobmaxxing" so I feel like we should pretty much just let the microplastics take the wheel

Ain't de Mimimus the villain from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
