I wish I could piss off Trump as much as Zelenskyy just pissed him off. It’s been almost a year since Trump and Vance tried to humiliate him in the Oval Office with their dog and pony show, right?

Why did this particular fucking monster of a human being decide to build his entire look as a pinhead cartoon caricature of a rich boy from the 1930s

Picture of Leon Botstein, president of Bard College NY, the latest big name released from the redacted Epstein Files (Jamie Raskin knocking this particular domino over). He is wearing the dumbest fucking hipster glasses and a bowtie and is a fucking cartoon of man, and is also an arrogant and blatantly elitist high-society kid-fucker

Maybe other GenXers can confirm or deny this but I remember stories like this regularly making the news in the 80s and 90s. There was widespread credulity of metaphysical phenomena.

Like this dumb meme specifically. I couldn't recognize a Bob Ross landscape painting out of a million similar paintings. People don't love Bob Ross because his paintings are special. They love the palpable joy and sense of delight he displays WHEN he paints them. He's sharing his joyful experience!

shitty meme complaining that ai-hate is hypocritical because robots can make art just as good as humans (uhhh... dubious assertion but okay).

Panel one shows a robot painting a landscape and an angry man pointing at it and calling it "slop."

Panel two shows a cartoonified Bob Ross type painting the exact same landscape and the man is appreciatively going "simply beautiful".

The 2-panel comic is part of a screenshot with the caption "the hypocrisy is baffling", revealing the cluelessness of how a huge chunk of enjoying art can often be admiring the process and experience of making it

Thinking about this excellent @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social quote. There are people who’s entire relationship with art is formed around consuming things with only a pursuit of selfish vibe-catching and I’m like, my guys you are only sipping at a cup of joy the rest of us are drinking deep from.

"Let's say there's a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally," the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. "With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind." Using A.I., he said, "feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you're a writer."

A Tale of Two Mixtapes As a lover of music it is of course immediately obvious who is genuinely investigative and who's just passively nostalgic but I'm amused by Trump's naked joy at (imo facile) theatrical emotionality, I mean yeah, it all utterly makes sense given who he is but still...

LoL I'm guessing he won't do this, but it's funny to imagine the most obviously spiraling out president in modern history who is basically constantly crying wolf, about everything; now desperately trying to claim that the meteor's gonna crash in some fundamentally existential way

tweet from David Shuster, Sep 13, 2026: I'm told WH aides are advising Trump to give a national TV address in the next 72 hours, declare certain aspects of the AI race an "imminent threat to humanity," and announce regulations pausing the things Tech companies want paused.

Absolutely, transparently, insanely insecure and miserable and always has been and has always refused to do a single goddamn thing about it, like imagine the most crashed-out drug-abusing self-sabotager you've ever known, who also happens to have more money than God. In a hell of his own making.

jeez what a toxic workplace hellscape

"In terms of working there on the ground floor, the other biggest thing is interpersonal things with coworkers. Transdev really likes snitches and they have this group of people who are the manager snitches. These people take videos of their coworkers and send them to management so that management can then reprimand those people, even though they’re nowhere near the situation and have no idea what happened. Or they will decide their opinions of people based on what their in-group thinks about other people even though they haven’t investigated those situations."

What a miserable existence it must be to look at the world through this lens.

Tweet about GTA6 extended look art from some gender-obsessed idiot picking apart the two main characters, a man and a woman, seemingly furious about the extremely minor indicators that the woman might be in a more dominant role, it’s absolutely unhinged.

My defense against this kind of doomerism is that human history – even relatively recent human history – is full of some real apocalyptic gamechangers of everything drastically changing in some horrible way and everyone bearing through the losses with lots of surviving and adjusting.
