“Let Kim be Kim, and you be you” 🤣😂🤣 youtube.com/shorts/RhWGV...

I told you we’d be back

Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.

In 4 years an estimated 10 million deaths/ murders will be attributed to Elon. Right now we are at 300K, most of them children. It’s no wonder to me he wants dissociation from his guilt/ shame. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

TACO

it's cool that we managed to put machines on mars that can take and send pictures and i support space exploration as a public endeavor and public good, but holy fuck everything we've seen out there is so much uglier and less cool than our own planet

It’s far too often that I briefly ponder the Fallout show, think about how awesome it was and the. Remember the complete incoherence of the overarching plot

Can't help but feel we're living through an increasingly existential war between spectacle and substance with spectacle winning battle after battle after battle.

yeah grown ass men with sausage fingers are also out there painting tiny dolls using nail art brushes so they can play house* with their friends. american men have plenty of manual dexterity *warhammer 40k

What an excellent reminder that I have bourbon!

APOLLO: “The lack of a rebound in container traffic after the China-US trade deal on May 12 is worrying.” [Slok]

I can't top this one.

With his arrest, ICE now meets all five criteria for being classified as a secret police force. Things will get much worse from here. theconversation.com/how-ice-is-b...

This is why I’m so worried about the US. Like, nobody cares at all about the rule of law, only Benjamins. “Even if a tariff-induced recession completely scuttles Trump’s rating, that isn’t the same as a people’s uprising in defence of the constitution.” on.ft.com/4jINIIZ

Why did they call it bacon fat and not oinkment omg I'm so sorry

If we can't stop people from outsourcing their brains to AI the AI should at least subliminally nudge users toward prosocial behavior. "Here's your essay on Nietzsche...who always returned his shopping carts btw." If everyone's going to be stupid at least they should also be nice

These boxes are not moving. A mind-bending optical illusion by Japanese artist Jagarikin.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

I bet it’d be a bestseller.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

He tried to warn us and we mocked him.

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

If you think Star Wars doesn’t take creative risks, you’re not paying attention

Elder scrolls into oblivion??? you mean facebook???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

I keep idly thinking of potential silver linings to the current president, but I’m having some difficulty. Like, “hey, with fewer international tourists, maybe nat’l parks won’t be so crowded… oh wait, he fired all the Parks folks so they’ll probably be closed”

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).
