Lack of self-awareness of YouTubers undefeated.

Two guys pointing above them at side-by-side videos of Stella Lefty - Boston and Noah Kahan - Stick Season, accusing Stella Lefty of plagiarizing from Noah Kahan, unashamed of their own plagiarism. I don't care which man posted his video first.

Pretty sunset over Fourth Pres in Chicago tonight.

So Moonshot stole Anthropic Claude Fable 5 for Kimi K3, and all these articles that are like "How is K3 so good? Somehow it's doing the same thing Fable is doing!" are hilarious.

Screenshot of web search results with articles like "Kimi K3 is competitive with Fable" and "Kimi K3 vs Fable 5: I Built the Same Website Twice"

Awesome, Brittany! I am also a real person who does not currently and has never in the past lived in Florida. I will also never be moving to Florida. Blech.

Text to an iPhone that reads: “Hello! I'm a real person happy to assist with finding you more affordable health plans here in FL, Can I send you a estimate?

Oh, this will do nicely. Yes.

How far gone is the police state in this country? I saw this sticker and immediately assumed it was another white supremacism movement, even though it ostensibly stands for the opposite of that.

Stupid tattered looking black and white flag printing with the stupid blue line for one of the stripes with a stupid picture of a roaring bear in the middle labeled “CODE 4” and “HUMANIZING THE BADGE,” stupidly.

We finally know the truth..

Post from The Bad Place from @Sindershift saying “I can see why you’d think it was one of those, but as an actual skeletologist I can confirm it’s actually this:” followed by a picture of the outline of the Hamburger Helper mascot with a horrifying skeleton inside it, mouth opened in a scream and with four arm-like protrusions reaching into the fingers of the gloves.

I love this isolated house here. I pass it every single day going in and out of my neighborhood. Still, it's surroundings is forest preserve, so it couldn't count.

If my company was named Mazi Brothers, I’d choose a much more differentiable font, but maybe that’s just me.

I have one in physics, so it's doubly so.

xkcd cartoon with a shrugging stick figure explaining to a grumpy-looking stick figure: "You're trying to predict the behavior of <complicated system>? Just model it as a <simple object>, and then add some secondary terms to account for <complication I just thought of>. Easy, right? So, why does <your field> need a whole journal, anyway?" with a caption: "Liberal-arts majors may be annoying sometimes, but there's *nothing* more obnoxious than a physicist first encountering a new subject."

We all know Ring is cops and ACAB, but this is ridiculous. I, for one, don’t think the Police should develop a taste for the homeless.

If I’m reading this right, “The Woke Ginger” is donating all the money to himself and donating his loved ones to Planned Parenthood. I’ve got to respect the transparency of his grift but also his dedication to organizations and causes he supports.

Skeet from “The Woke Ginger”

That engagement was fueled by misinformation and subpar reporting that assumed correlation equals causation. Rest assured, I’ll be donating all monetization generated from the hate and threats toward me and my loved ones to Planned Parenthood.

Last time that happened to me was all the way back in 2001 watching The Royal Tenenbaums when this appeared on screen, uncommented on.

From The Royal Tenenbaums, Eli Cash (Owen Wilson) in a cowboy hat and tacky western wear sitting on a gaudy couch in front of an inexplicable painting (but here goes) five shirtless men wearing jeans and monster masks (one is presumably RFK Jr, right?) sitting on ATVs, all holding their arms over their heads like scary monsters do, channeling something like the Thriller music video.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to delete it.

The Sam Darnold meme where he's confidently pointing at the camera that says "OUT INDEFINITELY" and now it says "HOSPICE" underneath is as the reason he's out indefinitely.

I got curious, and yes, those are two very nearby trees.

A map showing LaBagh Woods and Sauganash in Chicago, with red labels showing “your tree” on the south side of the image and “my tree” on the north side. It’s probably a couple thousand feet between them.

Drew Fustin @drewfustin.com · 12/01/2026

I could walk to that tree right now! There’s also a really good white ash just north of your tree in Sauganash that can’t figure out what color it wants to be in the fall, in the best possible way.

White ash tree in Sauganash, Chicago, IL from October 2023 that’s all sorts of yellows and oranges and reds, all at once.
