What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

I saw that there is a new show called Monster on Netflix where each season is about a Serial killer. Are we not bored of this yet? I would much rather watch a show about cool people doing cool things instead of the continuous glamorization of evil.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

maybe it wasn't a good idea to setup that script that plays Salt-N-Pepa's Push It every time I push code changes to my git repo.

You know, if he hadn't been wrong about pivoting to video, whatever that fiasco "metaverse" nonsense was, his "AI friends" junk, and if he and Meta weren't responsible for sucking up and selling all your data to the highest bidder...

I mean...why do people continue to listen to this utter clown?

❝ The world of cereal box record collecting is unique, in that the songs themselves and the audio quality are of lesser importance. “They’re fascinating insights into our past,” Cumella said. “Today, it stands out as a bizarre artifact of another time that we would put a record on a cereal box.” →

Cereal Box Records Sound Horrible. They Still Look Incredible.

Decades ago, singles were printed on cereal boxes as cutout prizes. Now, a dedicated few are working to save these cardboard treasures from extinction.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.
