Elon Musk streaming POE 2 on his private plane while listening to “The Final Countdown” and everyone in the in-game chat is whispering him to kill himself. Now that’s cool.

Something I learned in the Marines is that you can’t make a stupid person smart but you can make them afraid of what happens when they do stupid shit and maybe that is the best we can hope for.

our problem as people not infected by the authoritarian mind virus is that we are trying too hard to make sense of Trump’s tariffs as economic policy. Instead it is primarily symbolic, an attempt to reassert the fantasy of a racial colonial patriarchal family romance onto the world.

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

General Strike? Hey buddy, I work in healthcare. If I’m not at my workstation people don’t get diet orders. Someone might have their home Metformin continued instead of getting low dose SSI. You have no idea how it feels to be this important. #medsky.

the smosh potato is less of a recipe and more of a technique for getting a potato with a creamy center and cronchy edges there are many ways to make these such as boiling and pan frying or roasting and deep frying but here is one that uses just one cookie sheet and a ziploc bag for minimal cleanup

For those like me who are not Free Software absolutists, you could also switch to Vivaldi, which is a closed-source browser which is very like the old version of Opera, and which has explicitly said that they will not integrate "AI" -- vivaldi.com/blog/technol...

Last night a friend and I were talking about like. What Happened over the past decade where it feels like COVID caused a lot of kind of bog standard soft conservatives to spiral out into anti-vaccine Nazism. And my thing was, a lot of these people had never had any constraints put on their behavior

Reminder that 'savvy' political fact checkers spent the entire campaign telling voters that Trump was not going to do the things he obviously was going to do.

I think getting parasocial about Bill Burr and needing him to be more than a funny guy is a recipe for disappointment but I didn’t realize how much I needed an abrasive guy from Boston just looking at all this and going “hey that’s fuckin stupid”

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk's politics, because his identity is rooted in being an underdog fighting against the real power, but as the world's wealthiest person, who is deeply politically connected, he needs a definition of elite not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Clear, concise, accurate. Must read. ⬇️ "No matter how deeply avant-garde art has engaged in shock and putative nihilism, no artist, to my knowledge, has ever made art with the sole aim of harming the already vulnerable...Those are the goals of AI art, and that is why it resonates with the right."

I cannot stress enough that the American people protested, donated, subscribed, and voted in record numbers in 2018 and 2020 and then those institutions that they propped up in opposition to Trump sought to accommodate him instead. And here we are.
