You ever think about how nazis were actually pretty solid at identifying art that did vs didn't align with their ideology, i.e. they loved Wagner but hated the Surrealists But modern nazis are like "WATCH MY VIDEO ESSAY ON WHY ROBOCOP PROVES WE SHOULD GIVE CHATGPT A GUN"
Your shop is way, waaaay too neat. Suspiciously neat.

Is that Comic Sans? Approve!

I love this. If I were doing it I'd bolt on a ladder every few yards.

"It's the opposite of a pardon. He can do that!"
Why would they not just bolt on a ladder every hundred yards?
Oh yeah.
Yes, but the Worst Word if the Year is "upended." Just stop with that one too. It's a country, not a chessboard.

Actual legal process won't be necessary. The only outward sign that it's happening will be the occasional story about powerful people suddenly resigning "for personal reasons." Like this one. scdailygazette.com/2025/08/21/s...
We're really going to hate what these guys can do with AI plus all IRS, court, and financial records. There will be a big button labeled GET ME SOMETHING ON THIS GUY, and that button will work really well.
Wow, that is such a punchable face.

"Maybe it's not a priority. Maybe they have data showing only 0.3% of users would use it. Maybe their KPIs are based on the number of online classes previewed in the app, and forcing users to see them every time the app loads secures someone's annual bonus." #nerding drobinin.com/posts/how-i-...
Joanne Rowling. Sparked a renaissance in reading among kids 6 to 16, but then joined the Legion of Regrettable Authors.
Came here to say this, and that people like Uskmay and Umptray should review its ending.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.
There's a definite line between refactoring and defuctoring and I am way, way over that line today. #webdev #nerd
New from 404 Media: we've seen and verified video of a CBP agent wearing Meta's AI glasses during immigration raid in LA. Glasses capable of recording, live-streaming, Meta plans to add facial recognition. Experts deeply concerned about this tech being abused by DHS www.404media.co/a-cbp-agent-...
Correct.
All hail Luigi the Cape Buffalo!

Wow, this takes me back to when things just worked with other things. 2007-ish. Thank you!
Even (especially) on personal projects. The older I get the more I appreciate these love letters to Future Me.
No. The Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th.
This sounds like a variation on "not all men."
Striking out, sorry!

Yes. It's the Sid Vicious defense: "I didn't do it!" "If I did do it, I didn't mean to!" "If I meant to, it's because she asked me to!"

OH THANK MITHRAS It's a Murderbot Eve Miracle!!!!!!
Did u know that when we blocked assholes instead of arguing with them Bluesky was cool and awesome and fewer people saw the assholes’ posts? now u know you are not going to convince them or make them feel bad and there’s no scoreboard You’re just smearing shit on the camera lens
This is exactly why HAL went insane and killed all those astronauts in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Not sure about this question but I did recently discover on a family trip to Cancun the preferred hydration beverage of Mordor. (I will not utter its name here, but you could check the ALT text.)
So is “upended” the word of the year, or what?
I don’t see any Comic Sans….
Wow, Palmer Report is just about unreadable without an ad blocker.
“People can promise stuff all day long,” an East Palo Alto resident and activist said, but “if nothing is legally binding, they’re going to pull out, and we’re going to be left with the fallout.”
100% correct. Never stopped masking on flights; if I’m carrying anything I don’t want to give it to you!
I can make excellent coffee in near-total darkness.
Every accusation is a confession.
Yep. #thereisamonsterintheforest
This is how far it’s gone and how weird it’s gotten: I find myself saying “Nice going, Dodgers.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.
Please anyone in south Maui please keep alert and ready to evacuate. Sadly the fire is still growing rapidly and moving into areas where it is harder to fight. Sign up for MEMA alerts and go download Watch Duty app (it works for Maui). Have your go bags ready. page.alertsense.com/content/1946...
A robin made a nest in one of my plant pots right outside my studio. The baby birds are hatching today.
If you estimate a thousand protesters (which seems generous at the time the troops were deployed) that's $143K apiece. Could have just offered them $10K each to go home....
Here Eric Swalwell delivers a masterclass on trolling. (Trolling is best when you can't tell if it's a troll or not.)
Yes. And Grok is lying when asked about photos. www.threads.com/@thetnholler...
This is what Dear Leader looks like when the situation is out of his control. You know where we never saw this look? 15 September 2024.
When the story of troops sleeping on the floor in California after Trump sent them with no plan went viral… Musk’s Grok quickly sprang into action and told people the SF Chronicle pics were actually from Afghanistan in 2021. BBC Verify: Grok lied.
ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.
This is what I am saying. This is a pocket civil war.
However real this feud is, Trump has basically admitted the contracts to Musk’s companies are pure corruption.

Nice going, Santa Cruz.
people will say “your site is upside down and inverted on my browser” and when i ask them which browser they use it’s always something like Thunderpussbox 45x Developer Edition which is ofc the default browser for the Crab Sauce linux distro originally made for a triangle shaped smart anklet in 2014
"Can the president read" is going to get buried under "the president believes his predecessor was killed before assuming office and was replaced by a clone." When people talk about authoritarianism with American characteristics, these are the American characteristics.

the fact that Apple has had to greatly scale back its AI predictions because people have rejected it en masse should be a warning —not since U2 have people so collectively not wanted something on their phones
Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.
Guys no see "SciFi" was also an abomination. It's abominations all the way down!
none of this would have happened if we disallowed the rename to Syfy
