if you want to be a Brave Truth Teller i think you should probably be at least a little brave. if you truly are a sixth amendment absolutist to the point where you need to name a party to a matter despite anonymity being granted then be that. don't coyly put a name out then delete and cry

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Ballpoint pen on paper. A man in his PJs is tucked into his bed. He's upset because the bed has been lifted off the ground by a pack of small, mischievous creatures. We can only see 9 of them in the image but there are likely many more since they're all working together to lift the heavy bed frame. As the creatures run with the bed they chant, "hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup." The man in the bed wants no part of this. "Put me down. No more hups," he says. It's unclear where they are going or what is happening. There is no punchline. There is little to no context. You're either with the hup team or you're out. Thank you for reading these.

Every. Single. Problem. In this entire story can be easily remedied by one simple solution, which is don’t fucking let your cat wander around outside completely unsupervised! You can’t be outraged and furious about what your cat gets up to when you don’t even know where it is!

These "our AI is alive, and also a little scary. Maybe even sexy?" Posts get a lot easier to understand when you frame them as guerrilla advertising, rather than sincere suprise or a desire to inform.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

If Joe Biden had said that we might have to intervene in the bond market militarily, the GOP caucus would already be drawing up a vote for a resolution calling on the cabinet to invoke the 25th.

Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...
Axios: AI has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose.

Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books — a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane — makes it easy to lose the thread. AI can help you pick it back up without starting over.
📖 I really got into using AI while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked:

"I'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?"
The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."

what really pisses me off is so many people, including so many conservatives, know someone who stayed in an abusive relationship. everyone knows that sometimes an abused person doesn't get out even after being seriously hurt and red voters will find a way to square that with voting for this monster.

filling out a "contact us" email form on a small business website is a lot like throwing a penny into a fountain in that it's more about the brief moment of fantasizing that someone, somewhere might be willing to fix your problem in exchange for money than in expecting anything to actually happen

Because the people in this government are gleefully malevolent you naturally assume they are more evil than stupid but they're stupid first. They think everyone who came before, everyone who built the world they've benefited from, was dumb. People like Musk and Trump both have this idiot's disease

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

one rhetorical trick the right uses is to reframe civil rights issues as being about racial discrimination in a very broad sense, when the actual civil rights movement was about a very specific type of racial discrimination directed at one very specific demographic
