The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

The Onion headline "Timothee Chalamet Under Fire for Dismissive Comments About Traditional Japanese Puppet Theater Form 'Bunraku'" was liked by Bernie Sanders.
Bernie... thank you
But my favorite pictures from Venice is not cats but this combination that I think of as “missed connections.”
These aren’t Hockney paintings???
He posted a tweet on X praising Carlson?? Oh no. Ugh. I’m sighing into the floorboards
the new york times post captioned “here are the suggested serving sizes of common household supplies that surprised us the most” with a photo of a glob of white goo in the palm of a hand
gotta be another way to do this
Not in a position to buy it, but it is very personally relevant and probably would be to a lot of women who grew up like this. Would be comforting to see on the wall for a lot of folks, I’m sure! Thank you
We know the playbook so intimately, which is why it’s so frustrating to see everyone around us denying it because of Israel’s appropriation of the term to mean hatred of a state rather than a people. People refuse to see blatant antisemitism, which means we all - Jew, Muslim, lgbtqia - get screwed
When T. Carlson or C. Owens or N. Fuentes says more direct shit about “The Jews” than the officials tweeting out antisemitic Nazi imagery — though that seems fairly direct to me, as did Musks’s salute — & when they get lionized as heroes by our govt, that’s the sound of the Overton window closing.
I wonder if people who aren’t raised on those dog whistles aren’t trained to hear them. It may be true that it’s slightly less direct, but many technically non government officials have been deputized into total directness. This is the era of the militia, & the idiot podcasters are frontline.
Hey this was me and this is gorgeous. Do you sell prints? Thank you for painting it!
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Oh this was my experience as of two weeks ago
At best, it’s a Freudian slip. At best. At worst, they know exactly what they’re doing with this. Or sort of. Enough to be dangerous.
I hear you and agree — I just want like to make sure it’s clear how duplicitous these mofos are lol. They took advantage of crisis for selfish gain and it’s part of why we’re here. Trump thinks he can manufacture a crisis response because it’s been done before.
When was there a labor dispute, do you know? It’s been insane here up until like, last week (and im still treating the timeliness this werk as an aberration. keeping my expectations low - adhd mantra. but also it’s baddd)
This makes it sound like it was a generous extension from a place of compassion rather than the strategic exploitation that it was. Surveillance states love them some trauma.
This is the most in-love post I’ve ever seen on this app
I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”
The Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Institute of Art are shuttering on Friday, January 23, joining hundreds of other Twin Cities businesses and organizations participating in a statewide economic blackout in protest of ICE operations.
😄 Appreciate you and your OBB ~enormously~! 🫶
the life of a DIVA!
calling all sexy jewesses! sisters - it is time to cabal up & use our cosmic tatas to space-laser-blast these losers’ scrota clean off — dong, sack, even anus & taint. leave them with the diabolical ghost itch of inaccessible pleasures & the hot-garbage stink of their own wretched company. dayenu.
(I’m learning French — total beginner, hence the double subtitles.)
It’s a tight contest for which one of these I’d want to experience live as a crowd chant…
Cheered me up as I was solo blobbin sick at home! Thankful 🙂 En stor plump! En stor plump!
Hoppin on socials for the sole purpose of sharing this French translation of a bit from Old Baby with @mariabamford.bsky.social: “Un gros pâté! Un gros pâté!”
For fun, I tried other translations, including Romanian and Swedish (see screenshots).
There was no translation in German, which tracks?
You may have heard: Our editor-in-chief, @arielleangel.bsky.social, is moving into an editor-at-large role this spring.
We are in an active search to find our next editor-in-chief—please pass this along to anyone you think may be a good fit for the position!
I’ve never seen Sunday in the Park with George, but the recording just came on. 1st — Steven fucking Sondheim, you bastard 😭. Second — from the few songs I’ve listened to (Mandy Patinkin & Bernadette Peters!), you really need two “Georges” for such a romance to work. And women need to be free.
zohran rly said it’s cuffing season (getting closer to your neighbors, making sure everyone is warm and fed, etc.)
Ben was def being sarcastic. We don’t have time. The right is certainly not taking it.
