FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

I hope Ted lasso season 4 is about a Scottish premiership coach just fucking breaking the spirit of an earnest NFL team

Top: Pete Hegseth — suit snug, hair oiled, buzz on — signing a missile on Arsenal of Freedom tour. The sign is half cut off, though, so it reads The ARSE of FRE Bottom: the surface of the missile, which reads “Maybe it's the beer talking, Marge, but you've got a butt that won't quit. They've got these big, chewy pretzels here... meddanrtargym... five dollars?! Get outta here!”

Our Noble Populace/Their Backward Savages. Our Heroic Adventurers/Their Brutish Invaders. Notably absent: any actual difference between the sides save for the color of their flags and sails.

In college I was on track/xc and I could have done this any week. These days I can’t even run three miles without suffering for weeks (I tried! Knees say pass), and I don’t really drink anymore.

I was a foam cannon in the beer mile - not even throwing up it was just Mentos-in-diet-coke-like. We also did the Whopper mile and vegetarians always won, no idea why.

Both the beer and the Whopper mile have variations of whether you run first or eat first when the gun goes off.

Interviewed someone today and they used a power point to sell themselves. Each page had typos, misspellings, and poor grammar/punctuation.

A few years ago I would have been offended by this. But today it was refreshing to see someone not using AI in an obvious AI use case.

I was hoping it was Guernica and he just misinterpreted it and saw his own thing.

I own a bunch of domains that nobody would want. One that I no longer own is “sweatyhorseballs.com”

I got so much B2B stuff trying to sell me stuff for horses. I would sincerely engage them to waste time and then act irate several emails deep when they were not specifically about horse testicles.

Small sample size bias. I quit posting on twitter back in like 2016 and never ended up as CEO of The Onion.

Claude mistook something I asked as wanting to dox ICE and warned me that secretaries there who “did nothing wrong” could get hurt.

Mistook another and warned that I was stealing time from my employer.

In neither case was I actually talking about those, but its responses seem very bootlicker.

Fuck lent, I'm going full throttle on the hedonism. I'll be indulging in new and exciting vices for the next 40 days.

btw if Canada wants to retaliate by burning the White House down again that's fine

Similarly, there are a series of documentaries about the band Creed that spend far more time on boxing than you would expect.

Look, now that we're trying for real consequences for the Epstein files, maybe we should also take another look at the Panama Papers

My concern about when Trump dies is how long the lines will be to wait to piss on his grave.

Things are increasingly more so now than they used to be, due to reasons

If you actually hate Elon Musk the way he needs to be hated you'd be saying whateveryou need to to get selected first

How long before “buy our opt out necklace that you wear and our other Apple devices will sense this and blur you out of the panopticon experience, only $200 a month subscription”?

Chef Boy R Deez Nuts.

Worth noting also that for many of these, the “charitable giving” they have done has been to their own orgs which is more of a tax dodge than actual charity. Massively so for Elon. Trump isn’t on the list but he’s infamous for it at extreme levels.

not anymore

In hospital and hoping to be leaving shortly. Can overhear the post-op nurses and am on the third or fourth shift through here.

The ones with accents are all quietly discussing with each other how to get jobs in Europe.

Isn’t clear if they are unhappy with US/risk, or the hospital politics/pay.

Is it just me or does everyone get nervous when they're stealing a car
