I have a little under three months to raise around $8,000 for my top surgery in August. If you'd like to help, please consider donating or sharing the campaign 🙇‍♂️ !

I think it’s kind of interesting that so many cultural and political elites decided “learning loss” from remote schooling during a pandemic was so severe it was worth ignoring medical safety, while actual learning loss from AI is pervasive and growing and they all want to impose more of it on us.

Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.

Jotaro Kujo? The marine biologist?

Opinion | Wearing masks in public should be illegal. Unless you are wearing that mask to conceal your identity while you carry out a kidnapping.

recession is here

so what you're saying is that a South African racist, who has permissions necessary to take these changes live, who's a much worse engineer than they think they are, was awake at 3am? who would do this? could such a person truly be working at X, the Everything App?

I am so grateful for everyone’s help so far, and am now over halfway to my goal here! I’ve got to get a majority of these bills paid off this month. Please consider helping me out with funds if you can. Boosts are really appreciated as well 🙏💙 ko-fi.com/butchanarchy...

efficiency is when instead of zoom calls from home you force everyone to make zoom calls from their local EA office

me: technically baseball is parryslop my dad: i’m gonna assume grandchildren aren’t in the picture near term then

Every bullshit new age con artist: I have seen the visions - I was a Great King in a past life. guy who actually accessed ancestral memory: mangia! Mangia tesoro!

We now know the FNV guy keeps that thang on him

I have a feeling this is the case for a vast range of political issues that are just trickier to measure than migrant flows.

this is not an exaggeration

Happy Mother's Day.

This rules. Good for them

60% of Americans have a chronic condition. Among people over 65, it's 95%. Saying most of our health care spending goes to chronic conditions is just another way of saying it goes to health care.

Kojima: I was reading Catcher In The Rye and it moved me. I emailed JD Salinger and he agreed to be scanned for DS2. Reporter: That’s.. How did you Kojima: all our souls are separated by a “Caul Field.” I think JD’s performances as Ryeman and Catcherman will impress everyone.

Went out for sushi tonight and sat next to two college guys, one of whom gave me the priceless gift of telling his buddy, "Bro, I think you've misunderstood Camus"

Maybe this is the year I get into repairing electronics

Save and spread these videos everywhere. They’ve been removed from IG. They’re trying to protect the identities of the cops and ICE agents.

Had a wonderful conversation with @newsnerd.bsky.social today about Sin Eater, and I would LOVE to do more of that! Please DM me if you have a site/podcast/stream where you play or review TTRPGs, I’d be happy to bend your ear about this special little project.

i think the reality is that in the modern media ecosystem, the algorithms allow people to put almost anything in your face, no matter how rare, and convince you that it’s an epidemic

❌ Smart home stuff sucks why do you need to make a toaster have Bluetooth who asked for this ✅ someone on GitHub found a way to make your rice machine send you push notifications to tell you it’s done inferred entirely by how much power it’s consuming

First DOGE took my job, now my contract gig, and my employer illegally tricked those of us in the union out of COBRA. This move has also indefinitely delayed my unemployment. Meanwhile, I’m paying 6 months of double rent, all while navigating chronic illness. Any shares are deeply appreciated 🙏🏻

Your usual lunch over the sink, sir?

One of the things I learned writing a book about global trade is that thing you got delivered next day started its journey *months* ago in China or SE Asia. A few months from now you will see an explosion of stories about empty shelves. It’s going to blow people’s minds.

Tarrifs are so bad on foreign movies, we can't afford 400 Blows, it can be like 2 Blows at best. Seven Samurai? You're lucky you get one kid with a pocket knife.

Really want to like Momodora, but the checkpoint placement is pretty rough

With the little runway I now have, I will attempt to get a new, independent podcast into the air. Original reporting. Every week. Subscribe to the newsletter if you want to watch it being built.

This is the perfect synthesis of the two crucial elements of modern right-wing art, shitty AI and a meme format from 15 years ago

Home Movies (1999)

Never realized how often I let my dog sniff items I’m holding just because I want him to feel included.

empathy is important, people falling down those rabbit holes NEED to know that you their loved ones will be there for them when and if they leave but empathy must be paired with a hard line. "No I do not believe this. No I will not debate certain things. If you cross this line we no longer talk."

It's a brutal time for young men. So many of their role models are disappearing right in front of their eyes, only to suddenly reappear without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy explanations beyond "peek a boo.”

a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off
