if there's one thing zuck likes as much as perving on women (remember Facebook's true origins) it's combat sports, of which he has long been a fan and armchair hobbyist. He loved having an excuse to train for a fight

Zuck immediately started training and Musk immediately after that basically said the fight was off because his mommy wouldn't let him (i'm barely exaggerating)

now that pitchers don't get a chance to hit home runs anymore the goalie goal is the undisputed Greatest Thing In Sports.

a classic. a little too popular with the wrong kind of Conspiracy Nut (to Carpenter's chagrin, I'm sure), but a classic regardless. Carptener's on-record utter contempt for Reagan and Reaganism shines through.

(particularly since this primarily means cleaning all their agents and useful idiots out of our system, which, you know, we should be doing anyway for our own general benefit)

it really sucks that I now have to kinda sorta feel a little sorry for him because it's pretty clear he was actually assassinated by one of our actual enemies (probably Putin but never discount Bibi) Fuck him but, like, we also have to not let them just get away with this. dammit.

All these elected officials do is go on cable news to blab about problems we know really well because they dedicated decades of their lives to not solving them.

people will power trip over just about anything they get a chance to power trip over. Especially the more they feel relatively powerless the rest of the time.

modern companies can't even spell the word courtesy. the hiring process now seems to be interviewers knowing they're gatekeeping an essential resource (employment) and taking that opportunity to scratch their hall monitor itch and see who's desperate enough to tolerate a few rounds of Simon Says.

To all the folks frustrated by Google and how they have ruined their own search with genAI slop: I cannot stress enough that there are other search engines out there. They offer little-to-no genAI slop*. Are they AMAZING? No, but they are passable, workable options.

particularly that general idea that everyone "deserves" their current fate, which is not only why these billionaires think they're gods but also what makes this utterly rabid antipathy towards the homeless so widespread.

(commercials are also literally constructed with knowledge of hypnotic principles well in hand; they study the Dark Side of the psychology Force and use it ruthlessly. That's why, among other things, they repeat the phone number/website a dozen times in the 30 seconds)

big problem with this place (meaning the US) has always been that Calvinism is so deeply baked into the mortar here that even even non-religious people accept the Calvinist frame even without the accompanying religion.

they even dug up Milosevic and posthumously decapitated him. (Because in Serbian mythos that's what it takes to truly kill a vampire, you see)

Fascists always lean into this weird superstitious shit. Heinrich Himmler actually thought he could find the Holy Grail and shit-you-not put time and resources into trying. I wonder how far away we are from Hegseth insisting someone carry Andrew Jackson's cane into Hormuz...

well no, see, he's offering to EVERYBODY, not just people who vote Republican, so it's technically not a bribe. Damn it sucks sharing a country with a bunch of dumb marks who after 80 years of this man welching on every payment in his life, still actually treat this shit with credulity.
