I wonder how much online conspiracy/qanon/unhinged bullshit is a result of men reading fewer and fewer books every year. Used to be these people would be stuck in an 800 page Tom Clancy novel, not bothering anyone. But now they don’t even do that anymore. They’re online talking to each other.

It would be a useful public service if the BBC, every time it refers to Andrew Tate as a “self-described misogynist”, added a note to remind readers what the word means.

Millennials are a goldilocks generation raised in the narrow window between leaded gasoline and social media and hooooo boy is that showing these days

The Republicans hold majorities in both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court and hold the White House and they could pass basically whatever agenda they would care to enact, but they have instead decided on a unique strategy of letting someone unelected do crimes all over the federal government.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

I'm going to haul this one out again, about why it's not a great idea to idolize creative people, or indeed anyone, and certainly not me, because today really is the day to be reminded about that, isn't it:

Look there's a LOT wrong with sci-fi and fantasy books from the 80s and early 90s but those authors would find the thirstiest, most shameless sicko imaginable and pay him $5000 to draw the horniest, most extravagant cover art you've ever seen in your life and we need to go back to those days

Books are a total scam.
Every single word is already in the dictionary—they’re just selling them back to you in a different order.

This guy was such a G for telling his evil wizard cyborg boss that his religion is bullshit during a work meeting.

“You will see content from the people you follow” being a big thing to announce really shows how these morons came and destroyed everything good about the internet.

My friend just sent this to our WhatsApp group and I laughed so hard I choked… 😅

Scientists have discovered it’s because they have tiny little anty bodies”
