This is a really sick story.

From everything I know, Boston’s Logan Airport is a legitimately dangerous place to travel through.

my nephew found this old notebook of mine and was startled by his uncle having drawn rocket launchers and lifelike handguns firing but it also had my drawings of sweet dunks and I don't actually do that irl either

americans or usians or whatever we're calling thanksgiving celebrators today if you haven't already punched your turkey out of the street trash can or whipped it from the brick castle wall do it now or it won't have enough time to air out and lose the trash can/wall smell by dinner

possible heads up to family at thanksgiving who may even already be skeptical of AI but missed their once sensible index funds are now heavily AI bets

like I have non-tech family who know crypto is a scam, if their retirement got crypto mixed in without their involvement they'd correct away from it
friend shared this, TLDR if you're fortunate enough to have any retirement invested and it's in a previously not crazy index fund, a lot of your investment is now in the AI tech bubble. I just reallocated to options less tied up in it

p.s. this is not investment advice, I'm not a certified anything

the year is 2030. you run spell check and hesitate to override even though what you typed is correct because you're concerned telling it that it can't do the only thing it exists to do may lead the AI to grow spiteful and passive aggressive. it's powered by tangling sea turtles in plastic soda rings

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

You've just died. The 6th picture in your photo gallery is what killed you.

unsure if this means the advice he said, the fortune on my printed card, or AI more generally which imo would seem unfair to zoltar they can't claim him

For every carefree, "Don't stress, things always work themselves out!" person there is at least one extremely anxious, detail-oriented, forward-thinking loved one or coworker who has spent years behind the scenes making sure things work out

star trek is about a utopian vision of the future bordering on fantasy where people someday will be able to make good choices about complicated problems by talking to each other and involving people who know about things
The thing about Star Trek is that the majority of it has the crew spending most of the episode trying to figure out, through arguing and investigating, what's the right thing to do in a complicated situation and I don't think any shows do that now? Like in a Very Special Episode but not all the time

night before Thanksgiving remember US friends your tofu should be out of the package and in the press inside your refrigerator or you can just eat it directly from the package tomorrow and you'll be just fine it's not complicated or dangerous which is nice

Improve at gamedev by finishing games with teams. We practice on freeware in DevPods.gg Games are member-led, we provide a framework that makes it easier to flexibly collaborate

There's an early #blackfriday promo going on, if you've been thinking about giving it a shot, it's a great time to try it

silly citizens, ur role is to buy an unnecessary replacement phone every year as you barely make rent on properties your boss's friends own, underpaid as you maximize profit for a brand owned by a big enough business to be able to bribe the president for favoritism exceptions to his idiotic policies
there has been no meaningful improvement in the devices or their functionality in 10 years in any way that affects what any normal person uses them to do, people only switch when forced updates cause a device which worked fine yesterday to lag so bad you can't type at full speed until you replace it
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight

once again people who used to want to go in 50/50 on they'll be the idea guy you do all the instruments / writing / painting / coding / operations / organizing or whatever are now all fully revealed that they're literally not even up to being an idea guy. apple was at least honest about the AI users
