Social media is creating a genuine epistemic crisis, where people's knowledge of the world, and indeed their entire conception of reality, is formed by their sense of what their internet friends say and believe.

My Crusader Kings 3 family is coming along nicely:

Found a rather psychedelic issue with the latest version of Baldur's Gate 3. Bug report has been submitted.

You might be having a bad day, but are you having a "lost control of an F/A-18 and had it fall overboard" kind of bad day?

Generative AI steals from artists and is killing our planet. I do not care about what circumstances you think justify it. Do. Not. Use. It.

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

If I hear “unalived” on TikTok one more time, ffs do you know how soulless you sound

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that my attempts at breeding the ugliest family eventually resulted in the most grotesque of all people: JD Vance.

Oh yeah, this is turning out to be a lovely family of freaks:

My Crusader Kings 3 dysgenics project is moving right along:

Bow Chicka Bow-wow:

I spent a summer doing assembly line work making cable harnesses. One of the manufacturing steps involved using a machine to wrap a metal braid around the cable. These machines were so loud that they were in a soundproof room, and everyone using them had to wear ear protection...

in retrospect, one reason we're here is that the internet didn't spend enough time properly bullying influencers

All right guys, I'm finally doing this:

a discord is not a forum. I don't want to join your product's community; I want to read the solution to my technical problem from two posters who worked it out 4 years ago

my most conservative-coded trait these days is that i honestly think that the worst possible thing that can happen for young men is for the entire society to coddle them. what they need to hear is that they have one life to live and they have to take responsibility for it.

You Canadians should be proud of yourself. I got around to watching the recent Trump interview. Canada really lives rent-free in his head. You seem to be what angers him the most, and he is just seething mad at you. What a great badge of honour.

NOTHING can destroy a Cyber Truck….😎😏 #WorldBollardAssociation

A lot of people who got the measles as children died or suffered lifelong disabilities as a result. The measles vaccine was a godsend to worldwide public health, and it’s an absolute scandal that this lethally ignorant dolt has any power over public health.

At this point countries should consider banning Musk products and sanctioning him outright like he’s a Russian oligarch. Nothing better you could do for the pro-constitutional forces in the US than helping economically annihilate this man

Goddamn it.

If I never have to see the name Sarah J. Maas ever again, it will be too soon.

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

Elon Musk is a unique threat to the stability of the entire globe. He is out of control, idiotic, operating with complete impunity, and controls vast amounts of public attention with his self-owned platform. He is literally a global security threat

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

I’ve always said this was a big key to Trump’s appeal: What perversely excites a lot of people is that he represents liberation from the tyranny of basic decency.
