I am going to take a break from frying my brain with politics and go fry in the heat instead running around dressed as an elf I’d tell everyone to behave while I’m gone but lol, lmao have a good day, everyone

I saw him compared to The Smiler once and I’ll never be able to think of anything else

Someone on Ye Olde Hellsite called him a "cocaine goblin" and now whenever I read "Governor Newsom" it's autobrained to "Governor Cocaine Goblin Newsom."

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay “Men said things like "peace in our time" or "an empire that will last a thousand years," and less than half a lifetime later no one even remembered who they were, let alone what they had said or where the mob had buried their ashes.”

a Democratic convention that switches nominees functionally looks like this to a lot of people

I refuse to believe that actual adults are seriously arguing that swapping out candidates 4 months before an election isn't the equivalent of buying an ad in every constituency that says "we have no idea what the fuck we're doing "

social media tonight

“I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?” “I think you can in Europe”

what if - hear me out - we replaced much of the tech media with Lying Cat

It would be super cool if the tech media would simply stop credulously repeating every value-juicing statement C-Suites make like they’re the in-house PR department. The only difference between these hollow promises and the guy crying, “The end is near!” on the street corner is funding.

Discworld QOTD, from The Fifth Elephant “All he knew was that you couldn't hope to try for the big stuff, like world peace and happiness, but you might just about be able to achieve some tiny deed that'd make the world, in a small way, a better place. Like shooting someone.”

Discworld QOTD, from The Truth “The young man is also an idealist. He has yet to find out that what’s in the public interest is not what the public is interested in.”

I make fun of this a lot but honestly how can you not love a man who comes up with the name “Darth Icky” and is completely serious

I keep engaging with Star Wars related properties and the conclusion I’ve drawn is that I’m really just a fan of George Lucas, because he is a big weirdo

impressive how much these puff pieces for AI still make the people involved sound like sociopaths
