American media: What could Elon Musk's hand gesture have meant? German media: We know exactly what the fuck that meant

This is so bad

A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant. I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester. Who was Wong Kim Ark? 1/

Sun Tzu: when u fight a battle its usually good if u are going to win Guy with an MBA: this ancient wisdom is blowing my mind

oh my god it's real

Marc Andreessen, the billionaire VC working for Trump, has published three separate scripts about me to X which total thousands of works and include fantasizing about my outfits and other weird details. It’s creepy as hell

Funny how little has changed in terms of the grievance-bait. "Pious divines and tender-hearted poetesses" is 18th century speak for virtue signalers and snowflakes.

Yeah, this bumps Violin Strings Mafia from the number one spot.

P.E.I. homeowner captures sound and video of #meteorite strike on camera, and scientists believe it's a first www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Spoil a movie title by swapping any word for "AI".

Welp. Apple snuck something dirty in our phones last night. Settings > Apps > (pick an app) > Siri > Learn From this App TOGGLE OFF. You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😡

Not my joke, but funniest thing I’ve heard in years: My son asked me to explain the essence of that song, Cat’s in the Cradle. I said, “NOT NOW!”

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

Coral Gables, Fla. – Sam Moore, the surviving half and higher voice of the 1960s duo Sam & Dave that was known for such definitive hits of the era as “Soul Man” and “Hold On, I'm Comin,’” has died. He was 89. Publicist Jeremy Westby said Moore died Friday morning… #SamMoore #SoulMan #SamAndDave

CTA has massive issues and its president needs to be replaced, but leaving behind the dead twitching frog leg of Xitter is the smart move.

My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.

Inside of you are electron you, tau you, and muon you.

The head of Greenland should issue a demand to Trump: Before any discussions of buying Greenland's independence starts, Trump has to replace Columbus Day with Erik the Red Day.

Or that Brendan Carr, Trump's pick to head the FCC, sent Meta a letter right after the election telling Zuck that fact checking was against the First Amendment and Carr was poised to take action if Meta kept fact checking. www.fcc.gov/sites/defaul...

Also, I'm surprised Zuckerberg discussed pressure from the Biden team but never mentioned how Trump threatened to throw him in jail. Why wasn’t that brought up in his conversation with Joe Rogan? It seems like a pretty important detail to leave out. www.politico.com/news/2024/08...

Interesting feature I noticed of the list on Steam (not Hat's collection here): if the protagonist is strictly male and side-quests involve saving/helping same-sex couples, it's "overt LGBTQ+ content." If the protagonist is (or can be) female, it's "subtle LGBTQ+ content."

Cthulhu on a cracker, there isn't an adult diaper in the world big enough for all the whiny babies who urinate down their own pant leg at the first sign of a game with a non-white, non-straight character in it. Grow up, you fucking infants!

In case you missed this hilarity and insanity. Civ V is not Woke Civ VI is Woke!

Yeah. I don't *celebrate* deaths normally, but I'm not going to sugarcoat their terrible lives either.

at CES 2025 TCL has created a robot to replace friends for small children. if you purchase this for your kids the government should take them away from you youtu.be/900WVWuKvNI?...

this is is fascinating. an AI freak buys an AI enabled child toy but his kid keeps turning off the AI and using their imagination, which disturbs and disappoints him

I am reminded of a fire fighting guy who in an interview said something like “every year we have the fires in California & every year it’s not us that beat the fire it’s nature choosing to not keep blowing the fire along & one day nature will keep it windy”

It seems that Karen Pence still holds a grudge against Donald Trump for leaving her husband to the January 6 mob.
