I can’t remember who I saw say this, but: some of us are actually here to make friends Also the notion that if we prefer like-minded company here that means we aren’t engaging with a wider range of viewpoints elsewhere is silly and insulting

Biden won the 2020 popular vote by 4.5 points. Trump has likely won the 2024 popular vote by <1 point. If Trump is "who we are now," then Biden is who we were a short time ago, and I don't think either claim is particularly useful.

the trump campaign was literally bought and paid for by the wealthiest people on the planet — openly! — and dim-witted pundits are going on about how voters are tired of "elitist democrats"

Oddly enough, our best and brightest heterodox columnists have analyzed the election results and all come to the same conclusion: people were mean to them on computer

The only hope I have at the moment is that this administration will be the same farcical shitshow as the last one, chewing up everyone who touches it. Will Musk be the next ‘The Mooch’? Kennedy? God I hope so.

If you ask 1000 people at random “what’s your favorite restaurant?, there’s an associated statistical error. If you ask 1000 people who are entering McDonald’s, there is an associated systematic error. Very different errors, both very important. Vibe-based opinions often involve systematic errors.

Overhead today at lunch: A: Phone rings Sorry, that was Christy. B: How's she doing? A: I don't think this is the Christy you know. B: I know Christy. A: Which Christy do you know? B: ... I don't know how to answer that. Russell's theory of names rekt.

Trump's plan to literally murder your kids doesn't make the front page but we're on day 3 of wall-to-wall "unfortunate Biden remark" coverage. Do you know why this is the case?

Just a reminder that as recently as 1999 (American Beauty), carrying a camera with you at all times to take video of random moments from your life was seen as antisocial weirdo freak behavior that defined your whole personality

I'm a lot less worried about my students using AI to cheat than I am about my older colleagues trusting random Facebook posts that reinforce right-wing talking points.

Saw a quote, recently. "AI exists to give the wealthy unfettered access to talent, while denying the talented wealth." The perpetual capitalist dream and free production, writ large.

The GOP candidate: I haven’t killed all the people I want to yet, but I’m making a good start. I give puppies rabies as a hobby. Here’s the list of ongoing pogroms I’m trying to get off the ground. My plan to fix the economy is fuck you. The polls: 49/51

Unless you’ve been in a coma since 2004 I don’t see how you tune into this debate as an undecided voter looking to be convinced one way or the other. But if somehow that’s you, welcome to team Harris

Look, I’m old but I can still walk into a fast food place I haven’t been to in a long time, navigate the new ordering stations, pick my shit and get out in five minutes or less. So I’m not THAT old

“Wait, it’s ridiculous- people have seen HOW MANY of these Marvel movies? All super hero movies!?” Me, taking a long drag from my cigarette, “Wait till you find out how many sitcom-hours I’ve logged in my life, pal.”

I’m finally emotionally mature enough, I think, to ask this question. Are the B-52s ridiculous or do I just not get it?

Hey.. whatever happened to those people who said they were magnets after taking the Covid vaccine? Did they ever admit that they were asinine, or did they just quietly move on to the next thing?

Cookie Monsters parents were just regular monsters who ate pizza and tacos and normal stuff. When he was born, for no reason really, his mom thought it would be cute to name him Cookie Monster. So then he grew up to be a cookie eating maniac. It’s nom-nom-nominative determinism
