i'd like to sincerely apologize for missing the mark with the satire in this post. the lack of clarity and purpose has led to it being mistaken for and contributing to that which it intended to criticize. i do NOT think you need to invite people over who want to kill you with hammers

So apparently there is a bunch of unattended Tanks just sitting around DC. Fun Fact. Tanks don’t have keys. They are all a push button start, so there is the potential for someone to do the funniest thing of all time.

there should be a consumer electronics review site called does it beep dot com and the sole criteria it uses to judge kitchen appliances, cars, washing machines, etc is whether it beeps at you and if so how annoying the beeps are

This is maybe the biggest crisis in US government, quite literally. The entire infrastructure of the ruling party is soaked in this ultra-radical, explicitly white supremacist, explicitly antisemitic ideology, because they spend 24/7 submerging their brains on far-right Twitter.

Everybody needs sleep. It's the ultimate product. My startup intends to broadcast an artificial field across the planet that prevents human sleep without the use of our patented SleepVeil®. We've already raised $1.2 trillion from VCs.

Anyone using the "legitimate concerns" explanation for the racist pogroms in the North is telling you exactly who they are, and you should believe them.

I think we’ve become so inured to this stuff that it’s easy to lose sight of just how quickly epistemic collapse has accelerated. Ten years ago, the media was wringing its hands over social media misinformation and what it meant that Trump had the gall to lie. Now, the lies control health policy.

“I don’t understand why these kids have to pay for whatever it is between the people who are protesting and the Government. Why are they mixed up in this and why is no one doing something to protect them?”

In the Disney lawsuit, 10 pages are dedicated to citing the work we did. In pursuit of this evidence, Midjourney banned me 3 times and updated their ToS. The first ban encouraged me to dig a lot deeper, so I'd like to congratulate CEO David Holz on his massive unforced error.

yes, higher tariffs increase tax revenue from tariffs. that’s something anyone could have told you, and it’s pretty disingenuous to frame it as though this proves opponents wrong.

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

If you need a pick-me-up today, allow me to share a clip from the 2000's Fox reality show "Man vs Beast", which at one point featured a monkeybar-hanging competition between an orangutan and a pro gymnast. It's one of the most amazing/stupidest things to ever air on network television.

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

Story time. Couple years ago, after Google Docs switched to a GenAI-powered spelling and grammar checker, I was writing a story about werewolves. At one point I wrote: “A sufficiently hungry werewolf can swallow a rabbit whole.” Google Docs kept insisting that was wrong.

Ain’t this the truth. Tina Satchwell, God Rest Her, was found six yrs after her husband murdered her & buried her in the house. No one burned a Luas in outrage over that. They just want an excuse to go after the Other. It’s plain racism.

The thing you have to know and remember about Stephen Miller is that he was roundly booed on stage when he was a student at Santa Monica High School because he gave a speech about how he refuses to pick up his own trash and he’s been upset at California ever since
