Fucknugget is how I refer to Stephen Miller.

Head's up, this is a really common refrain for Stephen Miller. Remember, comparing Jews to lizard people/reptiles is an antisemitic trope. (The idea that Jews are secretly inhuman lizard people secretly infiltrating humanity to take control.) There are lots of other ways we can criticize his evil.

I've had this Goldman Sachs report open on a tab since last week. It's one of the reasons I've said I need a new space to write things. The Esteemed Ed got there first. Anyways, the money people are starting to realize what we've all already known. www.wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/

Pop Culturewww.wheresyoured.at A week and a half ago, Goldman Sachs put out a 31-page-report (titled "Gen AI: Too Much Spend, Too Little Benefit?”) that includes some of the most damning literature on generative AI I've ever seen. ...

"Regurgitation" is an excellent word choice, as generative AI makes me want to puke.

Gen. AI is unprofitable, unsustainable, and fundamentally limited in what it can do thanks to the fact that it's probabilistically generating an answer. It's not the future - it's a regurgitation of the past. wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/

I feel like I'm a bad person for being conflicted about this. While I hate seeing people suffer, many folks hurt by this storm in the U.S. actively vote against efforts to slow or mitigate climate change -- and expect the rest of us to bail them out. And that infuriates me.

"During development, many teenagers actually touched the game, and they had an influence on the game's development. Initially, the game was more difficult than we had anticipated, and after seeing how disappointed they were that they fell down repeatedly we made adjustments."

Super Monkey Ball wants every player to have fun, even if they need extra help. @patrickklepek.bsky.social spoke with the game's developers about how watching teenagers play the game informed developing different ways of playing the game: patrickklepek.substack.com/p/super-monk...

Super Monkey Ball Wants Every Player to Have Fun, Even If They Need Extra Helppatrickklepek.substack.com How watching teenagers play the latest Super Monkey Ball game prompted its developers to add in features that helped my own kid enjoy the game.

This makes me puke a little bit in the back of my mouth.

The Twins' Jose Miranda is the first player in 72 years to have 12 hits in 12 consecutive at-bats. When you consider not just how hard pitchers throw today but the incredible spin rates their pitches have as well, it's amazing anyone can get two hits in a row! www.startribune.com/jose-miranda...

Jose Miranda matches MLB record in Twins victorywww.startribune.com Jose Miranda compiled his 12 hits in 12 at-bats against eight different pitchers. He sprayed hits to all parts of the field and raised his batting average from .294 to .329 as the Twins won 9-3 over H...

I don't want to know why, but I'm amazed.

Night of Korean BBQ. Much of the smoke blasted my way. When I gave my youngest a hug goodnight, he said, "Dad, you smell delicious."

Never seen this one before!

Has anyone who follows me worked in or around carnival/amusement rides and has an understanding at how height requirements are determined? Shoot me an email, I have some questions: [email protected]

Most pundits show the same nuance you get from Bob the Butcher Boy calling into sportstalk radio to complain about a manager's bullpen management.

Why is the pundit class so desparate to push Biden out of the race? | Rebecca Solnitwww.theguardian.com Yes, Biden had a bad debate – but so did Trump. The media is once again repeating the mistakes of 2016

The rise of the political pundit happened thanks to 24-hour news on cable. No one needed this much analysis before, because the Big 3 focused more on reporting as a prestige product and didn't have as many hours to fill with filler.

Pundits are not journalists, and they do not care about informing their audiences in a responsible manner. They just want more appearances so they can write more books and cash more checks.

The "Religious Right" has never been about religion. It's always been about fighting for segregation and the supremacy of white men over women and everyone else. Abortion was the wedge issue it used to becoming "legitimate." But it's always been about the power of white men.

Where's the letter from donors, civic leaders and execs asking Trump to stand aside not just for his criminal activity but also because he's involved in an alleged rape of a 13-year-old? Where's the story even asking about it? @washingtonpost.com

A prominent group of political donors, civic leaders and business executives founded to protect the institutions of American democracy sent a letter Friday morning to President Biden calling on him to “cement your legacy” by ending his bid for reelection.

Business leaders, pro-Democracy activists send letter asking Biden to withdrawwapo.st The letter sent to the White House is the latest outreach from the donor and activist community pushing for a new nominee after the president’s debate performance.

It's always patriotic to punch a Nazi or kick them in the balls.

Von Hayes was a good ballplayer. But Juan Soto ... wow!

With another flurry of walks, Juan Soto has passed Tommy Henrich, George McQuinn, Von Hayes, Jack Graney, Raúl Ibañez. Burt Shotton, Ken Boyer, and Roger Bresnahan on the career leaderboard. At 715, he’s now tied with Jim Fregosi and Dode Paskert for 358th all-time. Juan Soto is 25 years old.

Reminder this Independence Day: The GOP want the return of a king, not a president, and want to trample all over the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with their fascist, "Christian" values. Do not let them take control.

Stephen Miller is that rare thing: A true self-hating Jew.

This is Stephen Miller's law firm. They're also currently repping a TV reporter suing CBS-LA for being anti-white, which as a former CBS-LA reporter I think is absolutely laughable. But they're trying to create still more legal precedent for a racist takeover, it's clear

PLEASE: It's hot. The wind is coming from the east. Vegetation is dryer than Steven Wright's comedy.

Californians -- especially those in fire-prone regions -- with this heatwave, how about we put those fireworks away this July 4? Don't need a firestorm killing folks and destroying homes.

American, Canadian, and Latin American Jews: Do you feel like while Israel is not the answer for a safe place for Jews, the New World, while the best option, feels ... less safe?

Celebrating July 4 by drinking beer and playing video games, the traditional manner for marking our nation's birth.

Not only is this a problem because it's ageist and ableist, but it's also ignoring the real issue: A fascist who is a convicted criminal, a branded sexual predator, a tax cheat and a liar is running for office -- and the media prefers to talk about Biden's age over Trump's depravity.

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

Watched it in full on Max and Netflix. It's an amazing show.

Consider this your reminder to watch Scavengers Reign on Netflix and juice the fuck outta its numbers and convince whoever needs convincing that there’s a place for amazing, adult-audience animation in the world. Thank u.

Hell, go piss on Trump golf courses! I plan on doing so next time I'm around one.

You're going to outlive Donald Trump and Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito which means you'll get to celebrate their death and piss on their graves if you want

Note: Read the routines of modern presidents, and it's clear they're not getting enough sleep. Some worked on 5 hours/night!

Biden Tells Governors He Needs More Sleep and Less Work at Nightwww.nytimes.com The president’s opening remark to a group of key Democratic leaders — that he was in the race to stay — chilled any talk of his withdrawal, participants said.
