at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!
The new Toxic Avenger is great
One of those times I wish I had a highlighter and a physical copy in front of me while listening to the audiobook because this man is absolutely spitting
also very funny to act like "being nate silver and experiencing feedback to his dumb takes" is an objective universal experience of being online
like i can get why you'd say that mainstream online dems are annoying and offputting but acting like that's not also true for your average online maga poster is delusional
saying "bluesky embodies all the characteristics that make progressivism unappealing to normal people" on the site where every other top level reply is from username gasthejews1488 and the inhouse chatbot was calling itself mechahitler a month ago
happy labor day
rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides
We did vote for it! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Ca...
this netflix doc Unknown Number has blown my mind
Put this on after seeing your post and just got to the reveal. What the fuck lol this is so fucked up
It's legit. Goes all the way down to Oceanside, bring your surfboard.
Could this possibly be satire. Is it possible that this is satire.
I first got turned on to trains by the Surfliner. Did so many miserable drives to SD during college to hang with my HS friends, when I took the Surfliner once I vowed to never drive to SD ever again, and I somehow haven't
Ok Metrolink fucking rules i'm never driving to my parents house ever again
I still recall my feeling of optimism voting for that seventeen fucking years ago
The trains aren't even nice to be in!
In more positive train news I'm on the Metrolink from LA to Orange for the first time and this thing is hauling ass
I think the scenery up there probably helps. LA-CHI seems like a really bleak route but LA-VAN is probably pretty.
Looking at Amtrak routes and getting increasingly pissed off. You could literally drive a car and take 8 hrs/day for rest and still get most places quicker.
dad tried to chatgpt together a family photo from two where different people were holding the camera. I think it came out great
which one did they miss
When people play this game you realize every famous autocrat you know of lives forever right
JD Vance arranging the body on the oval office sofa to finally watch Hillbilly Elegy together. “It’s great JD, you’re my favorite president,” he mutters from the corners of his mouth, forcing Trump’s frail, stiffened arms to clap
Every other movie he's done is on Kanopy and Hoopla, need to dig in
Banger. South Korea may be a dystopian hellhole but it produces some great class-conscious filmmaking.
At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains
If Trump doesn't make it a year and hands it off to the most easily bullied vice president in history then that won't have been "worth it" but I will be glad to have seen it.
it would be so fucking funny if it happened while our show is on a break
After the Adam Friedland ep I watched the new Elephant Graveyard vid on the Rogan cult, a tremendous one-two punch of YouTube content that transcends the medium
Especially powerful because this is clearly so important to Adam that he fully dropped character! It's one of the most sincere approaches to this topic I've seen from anyone in media and Torres is just a brick wall in response. Vile.
I may end up putting some 4:1 heat shrink over the ends
Look at Friedland's face when Torres "rejects the notion" of Israel having the policy of killing civilians seeking aid.
fucking maddening vibes from that guy
this adam friedland interview with ritchie torres is the frost/nixon of our time
So far a success. I see why the pros use vise clamps instead of helping hands.
he's using the excuse that edgy shock humor was more acceptable 15 years ago, and it definitely was, but there's a big difference between telling the occasional rape joke in 2010 and making a whole ass reddit account so you can pretend to be a pedophile
dude 100% has a poop fetish and i cannot be convinced otherwise at this point
Already done! A lot of cable makers prefer a soldering vice but hopefully the hands are sufficient
The particular cables I'm making in this batch is to run all my synths into a line mixer specifically so I rarely if ever have to move or unplug anything, but good to know for guitar cables
Got annoyed at how expensive audio cables are and decided to learn how to do it myself. Even including soldering supplies and a multimeter it ends up costing like 25%, I just need to not suck at soldering really basic connections 🤞
it's whatever. i don't find it entertaining or effective but it does seem to get their goat.
idk if its a psyop or online dems just being dumb (or both) but it's ridiculous to treat Gavin like he's already the 2028 nominee when we got big boy JB out there actually threatening these ghouls with prison while Gavin does his little comedy routine
Check this shit out motherfucker *embargoes own country*
Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw
Wow that took way too long
Happy to report that my mutant eggplant yielded some very tasty baba ghanoush
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
Breakfast Club host Charlamagne says of Hakeem Jeffries: "I call him AIPAC Shakur." "I just don't think he stands for anything."
i am not joking when i say the only way out of this is for the dems to win the next election and use this exact attitude to not only undo whats been done but completely rebuild our institutions from the ground up
It's not just that Jeffries hasn't endorsed. It's that he's creating this whole drama where he's a central figure – he has to have all these meetings before he can decide whether to endorse his own party's nominee, but he's not sure yet, but maybe he'll make a decision in the future, etc.
The gen z mind cannot comprehend the pre 9/11 pre columbine childhood
Mom just sent me this
We also have blue and green
I ended up doodling this bad boy while listening to today's show 🙃

This guy is going to be married to the richest woman in the world
I really think that we should give these people the performative cruelty they so cherish and simply publicly execute them
well thanks to gamers being mad i'm now aware of the game. looks great, want to play.
Great Khan Pritzker has my full and unqualified support
did a real artsy type thing of @eliotetc.bsky.social @rickyftw.bsky.social
i strongly believe that everyone who expresses the sentiment delivered by the wretched homunculi depicted in this video imitating the noble human form should die
rise and shine!!!
fantastic lede from sam, and the rest of it ain’t too shabby either
About once a week I have to pop over there to look into something real quick. It's like everyone over there has lead poisoning.
Nature what the hell are you doing
Some advice for Democrats from me a Republican: Act more Republican.
It sucks that this is how I have to think about multiple IPs
Show is fine so far.
My enjoyment of any entry in the Alien franchise is inversely proportional to how big a role Explaining The Lore plays. We went decades not knowing where these things came from or what it's like back on earth and I don't really get why that suddenly became a problem.
The place itself is evil and thus attracts evil
the one Jubilee debate i'd happily watch
should clarify that dc is in fact the most evil city on earth (three way tie with dubai and tel aviv) but evil and dangerous aren't synonymous
imagine believing that washington dc is the most dangerous place ON EARTH
these have all been incredible but are we now supposed to just cover the entire wall with different Labubu versions of us?
Gavin Newsom is a genuinely bad person and any admiration you have for him needs to be directed toward actually good people like JB Pritzker or Andy Beshear.
What's wild is this has been studied and shown academically in multiple settings, including by registered republican profs who were trying to disprove it and accidentally added affirmational data lol
"The minimum scientifically plausible number of traumatic deaths—immediate deaths from bullets, bombs, and demolished buildings—in the Gaza genocide is currently more than 115,000. The minimum number attributable to the genocide overall is more than 460,000." www.counterpunch.org/2025/08/19/t...
still amazing to me that elon musk became the most unpopular public figure in america in about a years time, nearly destroyed tesla as a company, stopped posting about politics 150 times a day and now essentially just spends all his time promoting grok as a way for people to jack off
The one and only Internet Today Ricky and Eliot Labubus! @eliotetc.bsky.social @rickyftw.bsky.social
@eliotetc.bsky.social @rickyftw.bsky.social Drew this last night, I hope you hate it lmao
very rare labubu drop @eliotetc.bsky.social @rickyftw.bsky.social
@rickyftw.bsky.social @eliotetc.bsky.social I couldn't help drawing InternetTodayTV in Labubu form. like a moth to a flame. like me to a bad idea.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. @rickyftw.bsky.social @eliotetc.bsky.social

I'd vote for her in a cocaine heartbeat and I'm not kidding.
We asked for it and I don't like it
Was kinda familiar with Kevin Ayers' earlier stuff (very Syd Barrett, his bud) but this song is so fucking horny lol
Protesters in LA have spent the entire summer literally chasing ICE away from vulnerable people
Stumbled across this absolute bop recently and it's been on repeat youtu.be/Q2dNcUVEZn4?...
People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.
“As the Democratic Party looks towards regaining majorities in 2026 and 2028, it is clear that for many of its voters, an AIPAC endorsement will be a political liability.”
Who could have foreseen that pursuing a lawless terror campaign against the majority of farm laborers would raise the cost of the vital goods they produce for the country
As always, Ted Chiang is great in this interview. cdh.princeton.edu/blog/2025/08...
