say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

look how i'm treated for making a tongue-in-cheek joke 😔
Dan Crenshaw tweets: "I can't believe I live in a world where my only lunch option is a $20 burrito." 

I reply: "not true. republicans eat donald trump's ass every day for free." 

Someone named "The Noooticer" replies to me: "You're brown and larping."

Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.

Does anybody know someone at AirBnB? I'm trying to get my account back.
On May 10, 2026, someone on Twitter asked what they should do if they're worried about moths eating their wool clothes. I replied: "you can protect your wardrobe from clothes moths by filling your closet with tiny spiders, who are the moth's natural predator. later, you can deal with the spiders by filling your wardrobe with scorpions."On July 6, 2026, Tim Pool wrote: "Due to a scorpion infestation at my Airbnb followed by Casesars not letting my family get a room for no reason Im not going to have my morning show up

Been up all night dealing with this insanity"Screenshot from AirBnB showing a user's account has been disabled.

well done william
On Instagram, the account "Prince and Princess of Wales" posts a picture. It shows Prince William in a gray Glen check sport coat, light blue shirt, and bright blue hard hat. He's supposedly hammering a nail into the wall.  A close up of the photo shows he's not holding the nail, only pretending to.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note
"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope."

Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war.

A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic.

Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
