When I see "the resistance" get up and make these bold speeches, and then I see the signs saying "if Kamala had won, we'd be a brunch," I don't feel hopeful. I feel annoyed. Because brunch is where they were when millions of children were acquiring lifelong illness and bird flu was training up.

I can't say this enough...this right here is your problem. These are the racist psychopaths that dragged the U.S. even deeper into white supremacy than it already was. "The cool kids moralized about Gaza" is not a way a normal person with a soul refers to objecting to genocide
If democracy is to
endure, the People need to learn that their vote has consequences, and us screaming as loud as we could last year what would happen while the cool kids moralized
about Gaza didn't do the trick.

“Don’t expect the world to take care of you” what fascists and capitalists want you to think. If you don’t believe you owe care to others in your community, you don’t have a community, and that’s where fascism and overconsumption thrive by filling the void. Community care is radical and subversive

This is funnier and funnier the more I look at it. They laid out all the ingredients he was going to need. So this was going to be a demo where a robot tells you how to take ingredients that are sitting on your counter and combine them into a sauce.
You can do this OR you can type “Asian-style steak sauce recipe” into your phone like I did. One of those things is extremely embarrassing and makes you look like an inept dork, and the other takes five seconds and tells you how to make steak sauce.

Report: At this point we are just trying to figure who Canadian Parliament WON'T give a standing ovation to
OTTAWA - After members of the Canadian Parliament earlier today gave a standing ovation to recently deceased far-right agitator who touted white supremacist theories, Charlie Kirk, we here at The Beaverton are stuck trying to figure out if there’s literally anyone our elected officials won’t celebrate.

Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely.

That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles.

Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.
The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

I've tried to stop covid scolding and just let people carry on, but it really burns my biscuits when someone's like "how can I avoid covid?" and you're like "wear an N95 or better, and to avoid breathing public unfiltered air," and they're like "oh I meant how can I avoid it without trying."

I’ve always dreamed of a machine that can determine how the most boring person would make art.
You know that classic Edward Hopper painting evoking isolation and despair? We used AI to make it look terrible for no reason

Me: I’m avoiding COVID
Stranger: Everyone gets sick sometimes, just embrace it and live, laugh, love without that thing on your face
Me: You mean live, laugh, lose
Stranger: What’s there to lose

Shout out John Tory
This distinction can really disrupt a tailored outfit. On the left, we see how low rise, tapered trousers exacerbate the worst of this look (orphaned suit jacket with jeans, which looks like a sartorial mullet). The outfit on the right is even worse, as the man looks like Gru.

"Would I Lie to You?" is a British panel show where comics guess whether another panelists's insane story is true.

While it's definitely an acquired taste, if you like UK comics and comedy, it's a lot of fun.

In any case, PLEASE at least watch the first segment.

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.

Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.
