The entire country is clamoring for the release of the Epstein files and he just ... said it all in that press conference
The Resistance WHY DID HE PICK 12 YEARS OLD??? Donald Trump, former owner of fraudulent Trump University: "Hepatitis B again, that's sexually transmitted, and I think you should wait until 12. You know, I'm making these statements from me. I'm not making them from these doctors... I talk about a lot of common sense." Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts Why did he pick 12? You know why. Jake Hausdorf @J_Hausdorf This vaccine presser is the most unhinged thing I think the Trump Admin has ever done and I don't think it is particularly close. Kendall Brown @kendallybrown As someone who has done health messaging for a living (running digital for Medicaid in Oklahoma) I *cannot* overstate how DANGEROUS this press conference is. Make no mistake: Many children will die preventable deaths because of this single press conference.

What is "binch"?
What is to be "corn cobbed"?
A ‘Tom and Jerry’ cartoon. Tom has just been rejected and humiliated by the object of his affection. She has called him a country bumpkin (in so many words) and thrown him off of her porch. Adding insult to injury, Jerry has placed a corn on the cob into Tom’s jewelry box.

This is an entire 2025 mood
A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, makes a disgusted face, and throws it away. The seller eventually asks him "Why do you always look at the covers but never inside?" The man replies "I'm checking for an obituary." "An obituary?" the seller asks. "They aren't on the front page!" "Trust me, this one will be."

I will say probably don’t do the quick pickle with daikon: it’s a pretty purple color and it tastes about the same as the plain kohlrabi, but it smells SO BAD.

I tweeted a while ago that CAPITALISM is the mankind-killing paperclip machine (billions of people become the child in Omelas for a marginally better ROI).

It would be so fucking funny if what really does it is Altman’s AI company that was supposed to stop the human-extinctioning all-powerful AI
Text from a 2016 ‘New Yorker’ profile of Sam Altman: “OpenAI, the nonprofit that Altman founded with Elon Musk, is a hedged bet on the end of human predominance— a kind of strategic-defense initiative to protect us from our own creations. OpenAI was born of Musk's conviction that an A.I. could wipe us out by accident. The problem of managing powerful systems that lack human values is exemplified by "the paperclip maximizer," a scenario that the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom raised in 2003. If you told an omnicompetent A.I. to manufacture as many paper clips as possible, and gave it no other directives, it could mine all of Earth's resources to make paper clips, including the atoms in our bodies—assuming it didn't just kill us outright, to make sure that we didn't stop it from making more paper clips. OpenAI was particularly concerned that Google's DeepMind Technologies division was seeking a supreme A.I. that could monitor the world for competitors. Musk told me, "If the A.I. that they develop goes awry, we risk having an immortal and superpowerful dictator forever." He went on, "Murdering all competing A.I. researchers as its first move strikes me as a bit of a character flaw.”

🎶 Escape (the piña colada song) 🎶

So I logged on to Tinder
And started swiping away
A post on Reddit. Title: I [m32] matched with my wife [f29] on Tinder... Text: Big time throwaway account. I'll start by saying that my wife and I don't have any sort of open relationship agreement or anything of that nature. We met on Tinder 3 years ago, fell in love fast, moved in together, and got married. We've been married over 14 months now, and quite happily, I would say. A month ago she left on a business trip for a week and I found myself downloading Tinder on a particularly lonely night. I don't even know why. I didn't have any intentions. But I did it. I swiped here and there and got pretty bored with it. It was a funny reminder of that time of my life. I deleted it and moved on. On Monday my wife left for another business trip. Last night I once again downloaded Tinder and started swiping. Again, I had a laugh, but ultimately was bored of it. Then I saw her picture come up. I say shocked for a moment. I wondered if I should just delete it and pretend nothing happened. I thought maybe a bot stole her picture.... But I read her profile... it's her. It's her now and it's her live There's even a picture of her where I am cut out…

Compare ‘Gulag Archipelago’ (vol. II chapter 9): the USSR abused the terms “intellectual”/“intelligentsia” so badly that they could refer to anyone who did a non-physical job.

Are people guilty of using “PMC” the same way?
Over the years I have had much occasion to ponder this word, the intelligentsia. We are all very fond of including ourselves in it—but you see not all of us belong. In the Soviet Union this word has acquired a completely distorted meaning. They began to classify among the intelligentsia all those who don't work (and are afraid to) with their hands. All the Party, government, military, and trade-union bureaucrats have been included. All bookkeepers and accountants—the mechanical slaves of Debit. All office employees. And with even greater ease we include here all teachers (even those who are no more than talking textbooks and have neither independent knowledge nor an independent view of education). All physicians, including those capable only of making doodles on the patients' case histories. And without the slightest hesitation all those who are only in the vicinity of editorial offices, publishing houses, cinema studios, and philharmonic orchestras are included here, not even to mention those who actually get published, make films, or pull a fiddle bow. And yet the truth is that not one of these criteria permits a person to be classified in the intelligentsia. If we do not want to lose this concept, we must not devalue it. The intellectual is not defined by professional pursuit and type of occupation. Nor are good upbringing and a good family enough in themselves to produce an intellectual. An intellectual is a person whose interests in and preoccupation with the spiritual side of life are insistent and constant and not forced by external circumstances, even flying in the face of them. An intellectual is a person whose thought is non-imitative.

I’ll sound like @dicknixon.bsky.social writing this, but younger folks may not recognize that Sen. John McCain was himself a nepo baby (the son and grandson of two U.S. Navy admirals)
Tweet from Meghan McCain: One thing I never realized until I moved to the DC area is the absolutely insane amount of people who think they are entitled to a job in government - forever. It is part of the rot in DC and they need a reality check about how the actual world works.

Seriously. Don’t do this because 1) it reveals you to be a monster with no conscience and 2) the right wing then uses it as ammunition
