PSA America It's Lord Baron Pissgammon-Cuntingsby Habsburg-Syphilis Minge-Upon-Shite Pigfuckington, or (the) Lord Shitminge, or just the surname. It's not "Lord Pigfuck" and--I'm begging you here--it is not "Mr. Pigfuck" under any circumstances whatsoever. No. Bad.

Nothing says #July4 like a juicy slice of watermelon. This delicious fruit doesn't just appear on our picnic table. It takes a lot of work. An average watermelon weighs 20 lbs. It's 100+ degrees in Bakersfield today. Can you imagine harvesting them in high temps? #WeFeedYou

On this July 4, please pause to remember that one of the colonists’ complaints in the Declaration was that the Crown was paying its judges.

After the Stormy Daniels revelations, Roger Miller’s Dang Me feels like it’s a threat to Trump

Saw Kurt Vile last night: another killer show (you can set your watch to), guitar jams reminiscent of Dinosaur Jr., balanced out by country-trippin' versions of "Another good year for the roses" and "Cool Water."

towing a cybertruck destroys the cybertruck; they often need to be towed. this is a Theodore Sturgeon story all day long

The best part about this is the CT has no tow points. I guess they assumed the people buying these would never want to help others or receive help, so when you tow these you need to attach to the wheels, pulling 7k lbs destroys either the bearings or the steering, depending on if its front or back

Kris Kristofferson is 88 today and has been a stalwart supporter of the Palestinian cause for decades now, with an undoubted adverse effect on his career. He doesn’t care because he knows he has to do what’s right. Love the guy.

Dr. Damien P. Williams: Magus, Werewolf, Cyborg, Bi

If you think everyone claiming their PhD is only claiming something about their intelligence rather than, say, celebrating hard accomplishments & staking out expertise in a world that likes to tell people specifically like them they can't be experts, in ways large & small? Then you missed some shit.

Direct shade at mira murati, openAI, & all the rest but "intelligence" is a truly meaningless flattening of the attributes of the kind of people who tend to get PhDs, & if all you care about in creating "AI" are empty signifiers meant to stand in for "better than you," then i really wish you'd stop.
