whoa holy shit this guy’s on a million motel room doorsteps?? let me reevaluate
that show was so good though
left leaning republicans lmao who’s this clown
God he’s really such a dead-eyed vapid creep huh. He’ll be wildly successful in American politics.
Also Graham Platner is a very good political speaker.
Went to the Bernie / Graham Platner rally and I’m here to tell you: people are mad about Gaza
We dumped a president for being too old only to elect one who immediately died. You can't say that's not funny
Wow they really are just gonna puppet his corpse as long as they can huh
happy labor day
Is Trump still dead?
Anyway it’s fun that we built a machine to generate statistically likely text based on existing human text and now we keep doing science like “we found that the statistically likely text machine generates statistically likely text!” Incroyable
it’s burned into the retinas of my soul. i can’t believe we let that guy keep going
My line for blocking is if a reply annoys me a little, or I just didn’t like it. I’m not here for that! It works great along with limiting post replies to followers-only most of the time. You don’t owe anyone your attention.
You know what’s real good and I don’t think is totally overexposed yet is Yuri’s bakery in Portland. Just excellent Korean style pastries.
Yeah, I did. It seems like a lot of work for very little reward but I guess someone has to do it?
what happens after you do buy a boat he wondered
You missed nothing don’t worry about it
she radio my sharp tranket till I transist
Bold!
Lmao i posted that and then was like oh hey look who that was
now do urchins
yeah putting it around the whole solar system makes no sense, you’re just collecting the same energy but more attenuated and over a much much larger area. It’s like trying to warm up by building a fire ten miles away.
I had a friend who saw Blair Witch and said it wasn’t scary at all and upon further questioning it turned out they completely missed this one super quick shot.
More like Writer S. Thompson (i learn that he was also an avid hunter) More like Hunter S. Writer
My only public Gilbert take is a two-parter, as follows: 1) Jia was the perfect person to cover it for The New Yorker 2) Rusty was the perfect person to give it the Tabs treatment
this mf said it’s sucks
It is 2020. Boomers are angrily posting against masks. It is 2025. Different Boomers are angrily posting against different masks. It is 1994. Jim Carrey stars in THE MASK. Somebody stop me
It’s sucks that when I see a boomer posting “Take OFF your MASKS‼️😤🤬” now I have to dig deeper to even figure out what side they’re on
They’re weekend at bernie’sing him right now, right in front of us. we need to lock in
I found the AI meeting transcript for the morning standup for the product team that makes all the school apps for parents
that’s what you see when you’re going to hell
tiktok comments is somehow the most low stakes and wholesome place on the internet now
God I hope I find out that it happened while I was at the nine inch nails show. How perfect
maybe it happened though
Hey is Trent Reznor a vampire? Like, how is he doing this?
this is how we fund it
lmao it’s like $18-$22 billion
no one alive today will live to see it but holy shit, it’s gonna be The Last Low-Hanging Public Transit Fruit
Imagine how amazing it’s gonna be the day someone in Boston thinks of connecting North Station and South Station
no! i’m all done with poop buckets for today
I also got great seats! I can’t wait
Yeah that was the last one I did. This one was... more thorough! I guess it wasn't the worst pooping experience I've had in the last year
I subscribed to Nat Geo Air & Space magazine as a kid so I've been getting those since age 10
Cologard? I had a swab stick but also you ship them back the whole collection bucket which seemed like a little much to me, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Look, I’ve already had a vasectomy which means I dropped off a tube full of cum in person hand to hand to a lab tech, this is light work.
Cowards will say “I never expected to live this long” but I did, and I expected it to be exactly like this.
Pooped in a plastic bucket for a colon cancer screening this morning, going to see Nine Inch Nails tonight, living the Gen X dream every day.
I almost forget literally every time and actually forget maybe 20% of the time, I have no idea why it isn’t just a switch in the settings.
distant states like… Kazakhstan maybe. South Ossetia.
It’s in the main compose window—where it shows your author name under the subject line field, there’s a little eye icon to show or hide it in the email, and it’s off by default. It’s a super weird place and I have to remember to turn it on again for every post!
I can't hit the side of a barn with a tennis racquet but holy heck I love this @rusty.todayintabs.com piece on Elizabeth Gilbert's new memoir:
I mean my brain and heart both know it’s already too late for voting but I do still occasionally think wouldn’t it be so nice if it worked?
I just want to see fascists and fascist sympathizers rooted out of their jobs and hounded from public life and either prosecuted for their crimes or publicly shamed until they have to change their names and move to small towns in distant states, I don’t think that’s too much to ask.
It’ll be fun if the midterms are a world historical wipeout for trumpism and we get to absolutely wipe the slate clean in every american institution that decided to comply with the fascists. I’m not really expecting it, but it would be fun.
I think the unstated axiom here is also that Elizabeth Gilbert is the perfect person to live Elizabeth Gilbert’s life.
I was like “someone commented the same thing on the post!” but it was you, lol
What’s funny is I tried really hard to think of a good replacement for “love” but I couldn’t, so I gave up, and THEN i realized it was a tennis score. lol
The newsletter that dares to ask: what if there was a DFW for extremely terse footnotes?
Due to the horrors, all I’m writing about today is Elizabeth Gilbert and tennis. www.todayintabs.com/p/read-play-...
great
And why are you out here caping for fedex? Who is this reply for? I don’t think you know how every single thing works.
you should tell that to the fedex smartpost package that they just shipped from MA to connecticut on its way (theoretically) to maine (someday) and which they have handed off to usps somewhere in the meantime
is this a bit? are you doing a goof right now? tell me you’re goofin
“Oops Fedex lost a whole plane load of your packages in the Pacific Ocean” is the only realistic thing about the movie Castaway
Fedex is effectively a middleman that makes shipping something via the postal service 8 to 10 days slower.
There's no better poster child for the mess the UK is now in than the fact that the Financial Times - home to the "how to spend it" supplement on luxury geegaws - is now one of the most left-wing media channels in the country simply because it's still interested in reality.
"The spectacle that falsifies reality is nevertheless a real product of that reality, while lived reality is materially invaded by the contemplation of the spectacle and ends up absorbing it and aligning itself with it."
Oh man you know who would be having such a time with The Discourse if he were alive today? Baudrillard
If you can stomach it, I recommend reading the full complaint in the OpenAI teen suicide case. Not linking, but it’s out there. The very algorithm that upset people because it was removed in GPT-5 appears to have played a pivotal role in the teen’s death, and discouraged him from outside help.
I’m actually floored to find that as critical as I’ve been, they’re still doing way, way worse stuff than I imagined was possible. The people who decided to release this product for public use should go to jail.
It’s time to end tech
I can’t believe an industry that looked at Sam fucking two popped collars Altman and went “yeah let’s give him sixty billion dollars to build the teen suicide machine” is allowed to exist
The full complaint is even worse
Yeah actually this product is evil
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
excuse me for simply reporting the TRUTH

we know why
they’re walking around in plainclothes now before they put on the plate carriers and face masks
I guess i’d say it’s gradually been getting weirder but this thing of Opinion doing regular reported stories goes back to at least Bennett’s time, probably earlier. I think the current state of affairs is just “the times can do whatever it wants because there’s almost no competition left”
Opinion isn’t so much “opinions” as just a separate newspaper run by Kathleen Kingsbury. No one knows why the NYT works this way.
5/5 Critics of the use of these words like to accuse people who use them of being Orwellian, but in fact the essence of Newspeak was trimming words from the language so that certain concepts became unthinkable ...
That’s not true! Harold Ross and Jane Grant thought of it, and a bit later Choire and Alex also, independently, did. So that’s twice.
This is funny because “me and my friends were gonna shoot Clerks using a local place where one guy worked” is also the origin story of Clerks itself.
we used to take all the extras and roast them in the oven with a few onions, and then freeze. It’s good in everything.
Yeah that’s basically my pitch as well. “What if there was a publication that was good?”
i know a couple millionaires and don’t want to personally do all the work to start a publication so like, maybe we should collab
This video except it’s about the giant pile of wasps let’s go do not bring weapons
I love it. You know what we still have in 2025? Diners, cool cars, bikes, and denim! We could do this for any decade from 1900 on. I think that’s actually kind of reassuring.
devastating
I was so proud, lol. I laughed for like 20 minutes
Yes I am a bit of a trial but she’s the most patient person the devil ever made so we’re a good match.
Did you ever do a great joke when there was only one person around and think damn I wish that had a bigger audience? Anyway today I asked my wife if there was parking and she said I think there’s a lot and I said well we only need one.
Everyone loves a high stakes game of Where’s My Trinket
It’s more like a kind of “national socialism” if you will
Perhaps it’s best for us to continue doing whatever is easy and comfortable! Yes I am very brave to say it.
