Trump orders White House to be renamed Don’s Mojo Dojo Casa House

forget about waking the president — someone wake up Bill Simmons

Not the banner you want seeing over this article from … checks notes … 8 days ago

I usually don’t say this kind of thing because it’s glib but if you want to understand yourself go the fuck to therapy

This is how you do it...

New block: Doomers. We're all using social media in whatever way works for us, but I can't spend the next 4 years scrolling through endless trauma dumping. I'm not talking about people reporting developments or how it all affects them. It's the "I'm freaking out, it's all ending" shit I can't abide

I’m saying this here, in part, so I can hold myself accountable to following my own advice. Don’t forget—especially in times like these—that the internet is a panic / dread inducing drug. Go for a walk. Read. Do something, literally anything. Times are precarious. Live, act and love accordingly.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Good morning.

A short thread with some tips about Trump fatigue and the next few years: 1. Be prepared to pace yourself. Had too much for one day? Shut it down. Dig into work and hobbies. Find enjoyment.

The new documentary GRAND THEFT HAMLET is about out-of-work actors staging a Shakespeare production in the middle of Grand Theft Auto Online. It's the only version of the play where the "to be or not to be speech" is repeatedly interrupted by strangers murdering Hamlet. I loved it. My review.

The biggest issue we have today is a dearth of epistemic responsibility. Forming good beliefs takes a lot of curiosity and effort and very few people seem to want to put in the effort to do any basic digging or reflecting on thing

this guy went on the Joe Rogan podcast to accuse other companies of insufficient innovation

Boost!!

That virtually everyone feels this way is a sure sign things are going great

This has crossed the camp threshold and I now fully support it.

😃 It's here!

Trying to refrain from being preachy on here because nobody needs that, but the way a lot of people treat their own sympathy as something to be punitively withheld or awarded after an audit is not only ghoulish but incredibly self-aggrandizing. bsky.app/profile/mark...

The Social Network (2010)

It's been a busy morning for Scooter at the murder muffin making factory

Always keep circulating the tapes

They look like Screech and Slater came back for a Saved by the Bell reunion show on Nickelodeon

The only tangible change from the so-called 2020 racial reckoning was a Juneteenth holiday, and yet the gleeful acquiescence to the DEI is the real oppression narrative shows the utter success of the racist reckoning. Many knew it was never sincere, but damn. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Sign language is woke now.

waaaaay too many people in the middle imo

If there was a definitive piece of art defining this era, it has to be this.

All, the Pasadena Humane Society is asking for donations - they're taking in animals right now, and are also preparing to evacuate if needed. Please consider helping:

How it started. How it’s going

Planet Fitness locations in Los Angeles are “offering anyone impacted by the fires—first responders and residents—free access to shower, recharge, and relax” No membership is required to take advantage of locker rooms, WiFi, charging stations at any LA County location not impacted by the fires.

"I don't remember there being so many big fires in the past!" "Weird to see so many fires this time of year!" Wow, yeah, it is almost as if something is CHANGING.

I really don't understand how Community Notes is going to work in a wall-garden network like Facebook. The anti-vaccination group is going to all of a sudden post community notes on its members' posts?

The irony about this is that Facebook already had content moderators in Texas hired through third parties like Accenture. So suggesting that some big move will fix this "concern" is quite interesting. bsky.app/profile/drew...

Can I just say it’s incredibly irresponsible of the LA Times to put their (very detailed and reliable) fire map behind a paywall

very old school, first triumvirate vibes

It is hard for my brain to grasp that the same week they canceled the trash collection in my neighborhood due to snow, on the other side of the country CA is on fire.

If you're in an evacuation zone in SoCal, please check in with any disabled/aging neighbors you have to see if they need help evacuating.

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

We’re less than one day into 2025 and the perfect metaphor has already dropped.
