I saw someone say Air Force pilots are the modern day equivalent of a gas chamber operator and I can’t stop thinking about it

Everything I read about this industry is getting more and more depressing by the day.

you’re so right, thats why we don’t shame people for drinking and driving. You know, an individual choice that puts others at risk.

keep telling those parents this wasnt their fault, while they go on tv happily exclaiming “yeah my kid died of measles, but I still wouldn’t have vaccinated them”

Yes let's keep pampering the people who shrug when their actions cause their children to die horribly

This is the thing about bathroom bans targeting trans people - assault is already a crime! Indecent exposure is already a crime! And laws that protect trans people don't suddenly make them legal

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety.
venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars.

child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me.
mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed.
mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

I procrastinated yesterday by writing something I wish somebody had taught me.

Female athletes must pay £185 to prove their sex Matt Lawton - Chief Sports Correspondent British female track and field athletes are being asked to pay £185 for a sex test if they want to compete internationally. World Athletics requires all athletes to take an SRY gene test before competing in the female category at major championships and Diamond League events to guarantee fair competition by excluding trans and DSD (differences of sex development) competitors. Before the World Championships in Tokyo last September, World Athletics gave $100 per test for the thousand or so female athletes needing one. More money will be provided by the international federation for this year’s World Junior Championships. But British women have been advised by UK Athletics (UKA) to pay for the test themselves, urging them to have the cheek swab, which indicates the presence of a Y chromosome, “as soon as possible to avoid delays around selection”. However, some women have complained it is unfair when the test is not required for men. UKA has a hardship fund to pay for the test and will assess requests on a case-by-case basis. But the situation is symptomatic of a national federation already facing financial challenges, made worse by UK Sport cutting its funding for this Olympic cycle. While almost £32 million was given to the relatively niche sports that won five medals at last month’s Winter Olympics, athletics has had its funding cut from £22.18 million to £20.45 million despite winning ten medals in 2024. It was only last year UKA returned to some form of financial stability, posting a profit of £107,588. But it is now facing a big fine after admitting corporate manslaughter over the death of Abdullah Hayayei, who died in 2017 after a metal cage fell on him while he was training for the World Para Athletics Championships in London.

The iPhone led to the homogenization of not only phones, but tech as a whole, removing all uniqueness to where every company operates off the same business model, even when it doesn't realate. Part of this was a deification of Steve Jobs.

In this essay, I will....

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

It's probably the worst thing about the modern internet. Every day I watch adults that pay rent talk like toddlers.

i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist

If he's trying to watch us fuck then I think we can officially crown him Mark Cuckerberg

I was watching other language dubs of the Steel Ball Run trailer, and French Johnny saying "Je suis Johnny fucking Joestar!" is actually iconic and so in character

If you wanna be radicalized against GenAI, try running an online business while these thieving shitbricks try to scrape your site at all hours of the day, creating a looping, endless DDoS.

Fuck generative "AI." It's all slop built on wholesale theft.

no this company needs to die

THEY'VE BEEN RUNNING A CHARITY FOR CHILD PREDATORS??

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHOGAKUKAN ALSO HIRED THE ACT-AGE WRITER?????

"we just got bombed, time to post a reel to the insta"

Shogakukan is imploding in on itself and that's what it deserves for attempting to whitewash a child predator
