Thank you! Same AI, different idiot

Is this the same guy who posted that AI irretrievably wiped all his family photos from his wife’s computer

the cleveland rocks montage had me rolling as a cleveland sports fan

fellas is it good when your military wants to usher in armageddon

bright spot on a tough day:

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

thinking about how jack donaghy would totally be in the epstein files in one way or another

Isn’t the 75k number from Feb of 2025, when they announced the opinion page overhaul? I wonder how many have cancelled this month

Fair enough — which only makes that entire industry more confounding, given its chronic devaluation of humanities. Though I am more thinking of a lack of critical thinking more broadly across culture. Point taken though!

not to sound self-important but sometimes it feels like one big reason we’re in this mess (fascism, undervaluing of universities, ai crisis) is bc there hasn’t been emphasis these past years on the critical thinking humanities teaches! hard to avoid recreating mistakes when you don’t know history!

Literally turned to my husband minutes ago and said “I’d like an article interviewing people from whatever OBS team organizes the filming specifics.” The drones have been incredible, but watching halfpipe snowboarding I’ve been amazed by the skycam as well — it’s SO smooth.

What he’s saying is embarrassing and stupid, BUT! So is what he’s wearing

i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.

james harden to the cleveland cavaliers moodboard:

i'd rather see darius garland on the sideline giving high fives than have to root for james harden literally any day

cavs just ruined my whole fuckin night dude

me firing off this post without a thought and choosing the fbi instead of literally any other agency like i didn’t write part of my master’s thesis on government surveillance

worth scanning the whole 50-page document here, but even this topline is stunning. imagine if, say, the fbi had a crime rate like this.

do you have a film scanner of choice, or do you do the ol’ macro lens & lightbox method? currently digitizing my family’s extensive slide collection and the latter approach is tedious to say the least

Thanks for alt text!!

the guy wearing long black gloves like he’s a jewel thief…. covering up some questionable tattoos perchance?

none of these guys seem to grasp that we don’t WANT something that takes our jobs and our familial responsibilities — sure, i think we’d all welcome a shorter work day and some help with the dishes, but engrossing occupation and child-rearing are what human life is made of!

these choices brought to you by Beyond Video, baltimore’s nonprofit video rental store and my favorite topic of conversation

i think about this all the time as though it would ever happen to me

aside from the absurd racial qualification, which is its own essay, more than half of all working adults have a college degree!

This has been my thought watching so many interviews recently. Rubio’s manic presser, Miller slurring attacks on CNN, Hegseth in pretty much any appearance… like, they quite literally seem like they’re on drugs

two classics
