It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

I probably don't need to tell you that the Giants got 0 runs out of this

No earthly idea how Adames was called safe there but I’ll take it.

"American democracy is collapsing because idiot citizens expect the government to help them, which it can't" is probably one of the wrongest analyses I have ever seen. Congrats on the NYT op-ed though. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/o...

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese. THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity ME: you want anything VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import

It really is as simple as being willing to tell people we can use government to help each other instead of hurt each other

"Can the president read" is going to get buried under "the president believes his predecessor was killed before assuming office and was replaced by a clone." When people talk about authoritarianism with American characteristics, these are the American characteristics.

we kinda under-teach the horror of the slaver elite generally. this was a class of people who were raping human beings they held as chattel and selling their children to pay gambling debts.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

I’ve said it before but I’m willing to extend these people grace IF they are willing to contend with what they’ve done, and detail what they’re going to do to atone for it materially. I’m no longer interested in weepy self-pitying, self-absolving “ah dang, whoops” statements like this.

the way they bend over backwards to describe this stuff as if it's normal

Can't believe I didn't know Burning Love was doing a one off reunion show until the day before, when it's far too late to try to get to Toronto. 😭

it's both, and the effects are a feedback loop

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

Without a nation", says the sports publication owned by the New York Times. Now THAT'S hasbara!

At this point personal security isn't an issue of individual hygiene, it's just an ongoing series of industrial accidents that wash over the rest of us. Like "financial literacy." Sure don't take a selfie with your credit card, but, beyond that, consumers experience identity theft as acid rain.

The new Mission Impossible is turbo dogshit and I am dumber for having watched it. As ever though, some bangin’ stunts.

Sometimes you simply have to spend your morning listening to Laura Stevenson’s discography front to back.

CHLOE KELLYS IS IN THE PUB!!

AI evangelists are archetypal "Ideas Guys". The ones who are convinced they've come up with the best movie/comic/game concept ever, but just need actual talented people to make it for them. The inevitable lack of interest from creatives is, in their mind, the reason they've never succeeded.

Tierney goal in his farewell match. 😭😭😭

"Everybody who uses AI is going to get exponentially stupider, and the stupider they get, the more they’ll need to use AI to be able to do stuff that they were previously able to do with their minds" gizmodo.com/its-breathta...

Wearing my Discharge shirt, which is making me think of a previous time I was wearing it and after a long conversation with some friends in which I gave some advice, one of them said to the others “I really don’t think you ever need to listen to a guy in his late 30s wearing a Discharge shirt.”

AI ads know their target demo, lonely losers.

Pretty cool seeing the inevitable happen. Bootstrapping LLMs, as private for-profit products, off of the public commons inevitably comes at the expense of the commons itself. Not just the noise but in depriving the original sources of traffic, attention, and *communities* that made them possible.

Arsenal: Champions of Europe.

Wow wow wow. Incredible.

ARSENAL ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE

Champions!!!!!!!!!

Oh my God, they've done it

IT’S DONE! ARSENAL WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! 18 YEARS!

current drug of choice: the youtube comments with the barcelona fans complaining

Leah Williamson, bloody hell. Giant of a player. This is Leah back in 2007 before the final. I haven't felt that nervous for quite a long time. A very long time.

BLACKSTENIUS!

the modern mobile internet makes popups and banner ads look benign in comparison

LET’S FUCKING GO ARSENAL

Congratulations @katiehonan.bsky.social on writing the best piece of predictive science fiction of all time

[sometime around 2005] TOM CRUISE: i will now share my true personality with the world THE WORLD: no thank you TOM CRUISE: very well, disregard

feeling the art separate from the artist as i smash that buy ticket button on imax mission impossible

the bigger conceptual problem is what most users consider the busywork, such as writers who think it is for "idea generation" and "writing"

QUAKES ADVANCE BABY LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
