Imagine in 4,000 years archeologists dig up evidence of what caused the 21st century collapse. They find bizarre pictures of 13 fingered 7 breasted centaur women, inscrutable recipes including what they know to be either poisonous or physically impossible.

I was just using a zebra crossing, and a big van with a light on top stopped for me. I was wondering if perhaps I should give way to an emergency vehicle, but then I realised that it was a Mr Whippy van. Think I’ll turn in early tonight.

It always astounds me how cartoonishly stupid the far right are. For all their highbrow talk of classical western civilization and obsession with IQ they're just a bunch of losers yelling at meteorologists for not making the weather be good.

I know the feeling. A positive review might help, but the best thing is it's perhaps the only platform where a negative review wouldn't hurt your feelings.

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.

The election doesn’t look good for Joe Biden, but don’t lose hope. I’ve heard rumors that his opponent Donald Trump, despite his squeaky-clean image, has a few skeletons in the closest of his own, and would be VERY embarrassed if certain scandalous details were to become public during the campaign

My uninformed guess is that the Times ownership is less interested in who actually wins the presidency than in throwing their weight around and reasserting themselves as an Important Political Entity. They want to show dominance and recapture some of their dwindling relevance. It's not gone well

Curious how France is described as political chaos because two parties with ≈60% of the seats in Parliament will negotiate a PM, whereas Netanyahu is always described as the will of the Israeli people, rather than the negotiated choice among eight parties with 53% of the seats.

It's been very interesting to see English language news tear up all their planned "far right now rules France, here's how progressives fucked up" stories and hurriedly write "no bloc has a majority, here's why that's bad for progressives" stories.

Every big media organization was so crossed-up by Trump winning in 2016 that they have been behaving and hiring as if Long Island-Coded Suburbo-Racist Sociopathy was on an unstoppable ascent worldwide, and interpreting everything backwards from there. It turns out most people actually hate it!

It’s troubling to see more people posting about Biden being problematic because he’s old than about him being problematic for funding and arming a genocide. But Arabs are NPCs to Americans, so I get it. Old is funnier.

Lessons I've learned from the LLM era (list to be expanded, probably): 1. Sufficiently advanced autocomplete is indistinguishable from an impossibly well-read toddler on peyote. 2. Almost any decision has the potential to be a life-or-death decision, if you're bad enough at it.
