Always a great sign when your geopolitical neighbors quietly start planning for you to go full fascist.

Don't buy shitty Chinese EVs, buy the somehow even shittier American EVs!

Because the seats on aircraft are fucking torture devices, and the sooner I can stand up the less pain and discomfort I'm in.

Almost no one reads the fucking article.

You are describing the human species. Through its entire history.

Thanks for nothing, lady.

I know it's maybe silly to talk about sails as a new technology -- and my initial response was to join the dunking. But, fuck it.

Anything that cuts the use of fuels in shipping is good and should be encouraged. If letting nitwits feel smart is the price of a better world, I'm happy to pay it.

They can release as many headsets as they want — they’re still Facebook and they can still get all the way fucked.

I've reached such a state of pessimism politically that, reading this article, I came away with the assumption that declaring the NLRB "unconstitutional" is basically a fait accompli at this point, and there's very little anyone can do about it.

My schematic for interpreting the news has become, "Imagine the worst case scenario. Make the impact 10% less severe. Put the stupidest person you've ever met in charge of the solution."

Most Reddit comments were either low-effort echolalia parroting old memes or outright bullshit of the, "Yeah, that happened eyeroll" variety.

I mean, taking risks sounds great and all, but what specific, actionable things could someone do -- even if they're risky -- to thwart collusion between an unelected supreme court and these massively powerful corporate actors to further curtail my civil rights?

You and me both. And lots of people are quick to say shit like, "You could live like a king on that kind of money in rural Louisiana!" Without realizing that the only reason I have said money, or the money for an extortionate monthly mortgage payment, is that I'm tied to a job in a major metropolitan area. If I left the area, no job, no money.

That's how I've explained it to friends -- "It's the Star Trek prequel series you actually want to watch."

Head Tap Meme Can't get called out by game reviewers if there's no functional games media.

There's very little decent media criticism of any kind left thanks to the ongoing media implosion, and games media is especially unprofitable.

And that's why Dune rules.

The main difference is the quality of the algorithm serving up the videos. YouTube Shorts is the worst, most piss-poor shit I’ve ever seen. Like, it’s “someone should probably be fired” bad.
