The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead.

"small market teams" are run like ponzi schemes. they make no effort to get better, pocket $100 millions in revenue-sharing, cry poor for a decade or more then sell their franchise for an insane profit. Dodgers spending money are not the bad guys.

since it was created in 1985, teams that allowed an opposing player to score at least 81 points in a game the preceding season are now 2-0 in winning the draft lottery (2006 Raptors, 2026 Wizards)

This graph shows two things, 1) obviously that the cameras reduced speeding, but 2) that the improvement kept getting better over time. Speeders tend to get one or two tickets and then learn and change their behaviour. This isn't a cash grab, it's an extremely useful intervention.

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Alberta under Daniel Smith just used the notwithstanding clause (overriding the Constitution of the country) to deny trans children access to healthcare. Unreal levels of cruelty and a violation of human rights

Placating the rich is never good economic policy for the simple reason that the rich are huge babies who are never satisfied. Cut yacht taxes 10% to meet the demands of some loser who bought bitcoin at the right time just to have him whine that he's moving to Florida or Dubai for 11% yacht tax cuts

It is so cool that, at the same moment that reactionary elites are making a massive frontal assault on the basic concept of education, there's a new fake university funded by those same elites that exists to teach briefcase-to-school kids how to say "that is so INTERESTING" to their future bosses.

didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"
Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry 
@pegobry_en

Let's say you're a US citizen and ICE grabs you off
the street and puts you on a plane to Mongolia.
Don't you just go to your consulate, give them your
name, date of birth, etc., they make you a new
passport, and you fly home? They do this all day
for tourists who had their stuff & ID stolen, there
are procedures. I mean obviously it sucks to have
that happen to you but it's not like your life is over
or anything. And the government should definitely
write you a nice check as an apology.

A new poll asked Canadians if they'd welcome being annexed by the US. For every other political affiliation, the "yes" answer was basically a rounding error. For the Tories, it was comfortably 1-in-5. Party of "real patriotic Canadians" my ass. Collaborators. Don't let them forget this.
Angus Reid Survey: https://angusreid.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025.03.12_51_state.pdf

Suppose there was a referendum in Canada, and Canadians were to vote on whether this country should become part of the United States, would you vote… (Canadian respondents)

CPC: 21% Yes / 79% No
All other parties: somewhere between 1-3% yes

Man is going to charge you $100 to save you a nickel. And saving that nickel is also going to end up costing you $5000 at some point down the line. But it's nothing new, that's always been the definition of conservative economics, he just thinks it's groundbreaking because he's a dunce.
