Traitors is very appealing to me as someone who loves to judge people and lie.

God that's nearly double the number I saw when I woke up like an hour ago

Kansas is a beautiful state and trans folks make it better. Our politicians are vile and small. They obsess over cruelty. The prairie is a remarkable place of wonder and resilience. Our legislature cannot imagine a better world, they are too starved by their own bigotry.

I have stayed on my reps about this horrific bill, but they are small and cruel people. Keep in mind they refused to allow public comment on the bill that allowed this. They know it’s mean and evil.

I just can’t stop thinking about this, how scared and alone he was. Left to die. The absolute cruelty of these ghouls.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

We’ve always been very private in the past, but we introduced ourselves to our neighbor when we moved and it’s been great. We keep an eye on each other and the neighborhood. We check in frequently. No cameras. She’s a kind old lady, but she’ll absolutely take no shit.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:

Okay so a thing I LOVED about that is how, whereas so many halftime shows kind of elevate the star above the other dancers/extrasβ€”often literallyβ€”that was like the exact opposite, he was *with and among* the people around him

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

Every year the ads are more dystopian and sinister. An endless carousel of supplements and bots, truly dark.

Needed an exceptional halftime show full of human joy to briefly forget about the deluge of lifeless Ai ads you’d be subjected to all night

Big game AI ads encouraging you to build like the geniuses that came before you by using their technology. Proceeds to show a montage of humans doing smart and creative things without once touching said tech.

It's almost as if the miraculous human brain is the tool and not a slop machine.

McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 and the jury ordered him to pay the victim $257,000. He lost all his appeals.

As a Kansan, I’m so sick of this silly little game. Esteemed journalist shocked to find that the people who live here are generous, curious and thoughtful!

I got into mechanical watches last year and have a habit of slipping them off all over the house. Sometimes while I’m lying down in a dark room, I hear the faint clicking of a watch’s second hand from god knows where and it starts to drive me mad. I understand The Tell-Tale Heart like never before.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Trying to explain to my wife why the Blake Griffin highlights I watch on my phone make me so emotional.

I yearn for Lob City.

you cannot reform or retrain an utterly sociopathic contempt for human life like this

abolish and prosecute ICE

As a child of the 90’s, there is a Savage Garden song stuck deep in the back of my head. Every few years it jolts awake to fly me to the moon and back once more.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
