Ah shit it turns out the problem with conservatism is that conservatives are all evil

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

these guys spent 60 kajillion dollars to make a computer forget how to do math

Speaking of less-toxic search engines, Lycos, a primitive option from the mid-nineties, still exists and is functional. (Which is doubky weird because I distinctly recall it dying during the "how do we monetise this thing" phase, many years ago.) www.lycos.com

Just told my 10yo daughter about Big Balls. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Ballskanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate.

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care. Big counter salvo!

Apart from any other tell it really wasn't difficult to spot what Musk was like a decade+ ago just by noticing how he treats workers and women. I'm not saying those are like a universal key to getting a read on someone but like, it's not NOT that.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is. They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring. So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Exactly 25 seconds after I convince OpenAI to give me, a curious tech enthusiast YouTuber, a tour of their facility

Fun Fact: the vampire at the end of Demontower was named Pete after Peter Thiel

I'm replaying Ace Attorney Investigations because I finally bought the AAI Collection from last year. I genuinely forgot that a major plotline is about wealthy oligarchs are functionally immune to legal consequences

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

@washingtonpost.com @latimes.com @nytimes.com you're all capitulating, collaborating pieces of shit

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

OpenAI right now

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Somehow this is entirely fitting.

Opinion | I'll mostly be writing about streaming shows and obscure elements of Catholic theology for the next few weeks while I try to think of a good way to start defending Trump by Ross Douthat

Kind of sucks that we didn't at least get a Roaring Twenties before what's about to come

First day since deleting Facebook and Instagram, and gotta say, so far? Don't hate it

The reason people think the term cisgender is a slur is because that’s how they use the term transgender.
