A story about why Democrats are losers, in four parts.

Having just rewatched this entire era of SNL, Wendt really was the linchpin of the Superfans sketches as essentially the straight man. His accent is the most realistic, guy you could potentially hear on The Score.

I encounter more and more people in real life lately who think AI genuinely is some kind of truth machine and it feels like they are living on a different planet in a way that is just incredibly distressing

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

The prob with a lot of cult documentaries is that a lot of them have the message "anyone could join a cult" and it's always said by someone who has been in multiple cults.

This was such an emblematic story for our era, the paranoid delusions of people with Nextdoor Madness that it was politically untenable not to humor

i don’t understand when my fellow thirtysomethings panic about no longer understanding what the kids like and how they dress. the most perfect serenity ever devised by man or heaven is within reach and you’re pushing it away with both hands

Joe Biden relitigation is catnip for the press because it gives them a chance to avoid saying difficult things about the present situation we are all in while also getting to talk about themselves

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

remember those 3 weeks last year when they were loudly called weird creeps and the weird creeps lost their fucking minds and melted down, the whole thing was funny & it was *working* then of course the Dem leadership/consultant class put a STOP to all that because they have a public failure kink

One of the greatest tech tragedies of our time is the way we’ve let the phone and post office degrade into a basket of scams, exposing millions of people to risk on a daily basis.

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

Every Chicago lapsed Catholic I know in the last 72 hours.

I had to check. Pius Schwert had 27 PA's for the 1914-15 Yankees. Also a 2-time US Congressman! www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sc...

Kojima: I was reading Catcher In The Rye and it moved me. I emailed JD Salinger and he agreed to be scanned for DS2. Reporter: That’s.. How did you Kojima: all our souls are separated by a “Caul Field.” I think JD’s performances as Ryeman and Catcherman will impress everyone.

Imagine thinking "The next big world-changing app is... SITTING IN ON CONFERENCE CALLS!"

The Nicene Crede (is this anything?)

OK, the dilettantes have already run the table on malort, blues brothers, pizza, hot dogs, and Bears jokes. Need to start moving onto deeper cuts, like the Pope learned transubstantiation from Wizzo on the Bozo Show.

Hell yeah!

posted some of my thoughts on using LLMs for basic tasks on tiktok and i’m getting cooked by people who insist that it is actually good to offload your critical thinking skills to a bullshit machine

I keep being more and more convinced that the idea of left vs right really misses that the real battle is low-trust vs high-trust society. The burrito taxi dude whining about all his traffic tickets in NYC rejects society too, no matter how much of a leftist affect he puts on.

Won $108 at Maywood on a horse named Surf Alert when I was 12.

("Hakuna Matata" absolutely pounding on the stereo) Timon & Pumbaa, they're buddies of mine!

It's like every website, app and piece of software has developed its own Clippy. Clippy is following me around every day from Google to Zoom to Adobe Acrobat, telling me it looks like I'm trying to exist and would I like help with that

This sort of unambiguous, unapologetic pro-immigration message is so much more effective than unconvincing hemming and hawing about how actually Democrats would do a better and more effective job of being anti-immigration.

This is the laziest key-jingling for the hogs. We’re signing an executive order that you have to be able to get a freakin coffee-flavored coffee

Obviously this is great, but it made me wonder what were the numbers for Scream and Titanic. Week two Scream up +42% in 1400 theaters. Titanic up +24% in 2700 theaters. Sinners playing in 3300 theaters. Crazy it has a wider release than Titanic!

Just an absolute visceral reaction of joy and promise from looking at the SimCity 2000 box art.

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you

Been wanting to stop over here for a while, especially since it's so close to my office. One of my all time favorite albums. (the location of the sun wasn't helpful).

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

For personal reasons, I would really appreciate it if they passed that $5k baby bonus before July.

Just learned the existence of a defunct wrestling tag team called the Tennessee Violence Authority, which: yes.
