You don’t get to write lists like this if you don’t know how to use an abacus or a sextant.
It's 2026.
Things many American school kids probably don't know how to do:
* Dial a rotary telephone
* Tell time from an analog clock
* Read or write cursive

* Navigate with a paper map or use a compass
* Balance a checkbook

I have been Looking at Cars, with this weird mix of optimism (I can afford to trade WAY up from the Kia Soul I'm currently driving) and horror at what loan rates are looking like right now.

I'm sorry, they had the FUCKING APP write an apology? Not the human beings who wrote the thing? The nonsentient piece of software that followed a prompt?
I am *well beyond* hatred and contempt for this software and the soulless, brainless assholes who use it and create it. I need new words.

Drake and Adin Ross along with others are being hit with a Federal RICO case involving a tipping feature on Stake to transfer money among themselves, which was then used to artificially inflate Drake’s music streams across major distribution platforms. And, people questioned Kendrick.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Every time I see someone confidently explaining that something HAS TO BE AI because “no human would do that” or especially “no human would make that mistake,” I wonder if they’ve met any humans.

If a kid’s parents don’t know their kid is trans, but their MATH TEACHER does, that’s sufficient evidence that they don’t need to be told.

Remember, Operation FOXLEY, an Allied assassination of Hitler, was cancelled because Hitler was making so many stupid decisions that killing him would have caused the Allies to win the war *more slowly.*

Are conservative spaces as full of "Jesus, 2025 sucked, I'm so glad that's over" talk as the places I go are? Do they think 2025 was a good year?

Finally, Trump's diet! Oh my god. The piece closes with RNC Chair Joe Gruters saying he was "shocked" to witness Trump eat "french fries, a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburger, a Big Mac and a Filet-O-Fish" in one sitting (5/6)

Just a quick reminder that the reason Morgan Spurlock had all those health problems in SUPER SIZE ME was that he was a raging, out of control alcoholic and lying about it to everyone. His doctor even calls him out about it in the movie.

And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.
