"Trump and Elon Musk are like two guys with six-shooters trying to hold a thousand people hostage. They only win if everyone thinks they are too strong to rush." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

"em dashes in writing are a generative AI tell" bitch I'm gonna fight a robot

imagine converting to Catholicism for clout and then the pope dunks on you personally

having a tough one today but at least the pope didn't subtweet me personally

childish gambino licensing his ~suberversive anthem~ for a WEIGHT LOSS COMMERCIAL OH MY GOD

Important thing to remember here is fuck Harrison Butker

During Kendrick's halftime show a man unfurled a Palestinian flag and was chased off stage and eventually tackled and removed by security.

to be clear the halftime show slapped

was mostly watching to make sure that there wasn't a bad blood reunion or an end zone TnT proposal. am rooting for the Eagles out of haterade, but otherwise the vibes are rancid rancid.

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

That halftime show was a phenomenal advertisement for a tour. Not every artist good on wax is good on a stage. Kendrick clearly doesn't have that problem. You pay for a ticket? You're gonna get a SHOW. Rap's Beyonce.

Taylor, whispering: "So yeah, maybe go see Pagliacci, it might cheer you up" Chappell: "But Taylor..."

Beyoncé is the first Black woman to win album of the year this century, and the fourth in Grammy history. It was her fifth nomination for the show’s top award. “It’s been many, many years,” she said in her acceptance speech for “Cowboy Carter.” nyti.ms/3Cz84Ee

Lady Gaga cried and I also cried.

oh my god, yes, the moral duties are the the same, that's the whole fucking radical challenge. (time to deny JD communion I think, right?)

today's If Books Could Kill has a take so wrong that I stopped mid-quad and gasped aloud

welp, have killed my sourdough starter. lmk if you're a breadsmith in Chicago and want to offload some!

It’s so funny, there’s a long social media tradition going back 25 years of making a big deal about how you were going to quit, and then only being gone for like half a day.

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

if I have to start paying serious attention to YouTube Shorts because of all this, I'm going to commit a crime.

I would rather it be banned. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Watched Heretic last night and the choice to use Hollies/Radiohead instead of Chiffons/Harrison for the music bit is gonna be stuck in my craw forever.

It’s embarrassing for a rich person to spend millions of dollars on trying to extend their life through science when that money could be better spent on hunting for a fabled amulet that grants immortality

the internet is clearly past its peak, having already produced its greatest project (isabella rossellini dramatically enacting animal mating habits in a transcendent video series) youtu.be/h0oiPSkXA0c?...

any billionaire buying Wikipedia would be a tragedy, "on the good side" or not. we need to stop divvying up all the important institutions along billionaires and then relying on their good graces — look how it's gone so far.

NEW: On the same day Mark Zuckerberg announces Meta's new commitment to "Free Expression," internal employee dissent and criticism is being censored www.404media.co/facebook-del...

Zuckerberg says Meta plans to eliminate its fact-checking program, move content moderators to Texas to address claims of bias, raise the bar for enforcing its terms and lift certain “restrictions” on immigration and gender talk. Huge shift in platform policy.

Happy first day of class to me! Have been doing this for more than a decade and still am convinced every time that it's gonna go horribly! (It did not go horribly!)

why do we need AI-generated profiles. why

For a moment, #9LC was trending alongside #furries on Bluesky. We should be really proud of that!
