Thinking wistfully about that little window after peak Covid but before AI.

The rudest thing that’s happened to me lately is Pluto starting a channel called “Quirky AF” and every time I scroll past it it’s playing something I like. I, Chungus.

NEW: For months, I've been reporting & writing this longform feature on "the ones who saw this coming" — AI safety researchers who have for years been warning about the risks of rogue AI. I was even with them on the day news broke of the OAI-Hugging Face attack. Gift link below.

I used Just Salad’s “Salad AI” feature to break out of my same-same lunch rut and while assuming it was just cutesy branding recommending me a normal-ass salad, ended up with a lettuce-free bowl of cabbage and lentils wtf it’s so purple

One Night Only should maybe be illegal as a film but it is my only interest so I wrote this hoping to force more people to talk to me about it. (Gift link) bit.ly/4wQ6sgg

It’s so upsetting that I have no way to reply to this unnaturally aggressive message to tell Mark Kelly that Samuel has been sidelined by cyclosporia that he only GOT because his WORK WIFE absolutely BULLIED him into gorditas supreme

I’ve started writing fan fiction for Samuel in my head when these texts come in (6 since I sent this): he’s not donating because he spent all his money on custom Zazzle shirts celebrating his favorite show, 9-1-1: Lone Star.

My phone number is on some very normie Dem donor text list where they think my name is Samuel and it’s so much more annoying?? Having James Carville and Haley Stevens text me and call me “Samuel” makes me feel specifically powerless

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

All sports posts are like vague posts to me, especially when they have proper nouns. Logging into social media, seeing the same word a bunch of times in a row, and realizing, “guess gotta find out who, what, or where a Wemby is.”

Gotta respect the accidental coherence of: "So many people keep trying to murder me because of my widely reported participation in a sex trafficking ring of global elites, that I INSIST on having a golden, fortified ballroom." Like, yeah, I guess the same person would be into both of those things.

What a week.

“This is not a smart man, and it is very funny to watch this all unfold. That he used a fake mugshot from a fake trial about a fake music festival from a very well-known national TV show and presented it as an ‘actual mugshot’ should tell you the kind of groundbreaking reporting methods this fella has used for years,” Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, said via email. “While we’re very glad this era of InfoWars is almost over, we are appreciating this exceedingly funny crashout from afar as we build out something even better that we hope to kick off next week.”

“In the meantime, all true InfoWars fans worried about being exposed to Satan’s influences should visit TheOnion.Info to purchase Demon Guard™, the only patch that provides 24-hour holy protection against all dark entities.”

I watched three TV shows tonight (Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Abbott Elementary, and Your Friends & Neighbors) and all of them had an OnlyFans mention, if not a plot line if not THE plot line.

Something has happened and my Reels feed (which is mostly people being funny on purpose) is more pleasing to me than my TikTok feed (which is mostly strangers obscurely alluding to other strangers’ personal drama, with occasional updates on still other personal drama and tummy ads).

AOC: Whether it’s people in the Epstein files still roaming free, or the president, a known rapist, continuing to occupy the White House, all of this has contributed to the normalization and the idea that incidents of harassment shouldn’t matter. And I think today was an important turning point

CBS never addresses how much money any other department of the federal government lost last year. So I'll help! The United States, which lost $980 billion in 2025 due to interest payments on the national debt, The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which lost $213.3 billion in 2025, and so on
