Elon's "Rosebud" is posting. His deepest desire is for everyone to tell him what a hilarious and clever poster he is. The problem is that he isn't funny. And it kills him.

It explains why he bought Twitter. It's why Grok is the way it is. And it explains . . . whatever the holy hell this is.
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Why not just make them yerselves and fully avoid the genAI stink that's now attached to yer game?

This baffles me, man. I find it hard to imagine folk lovingly crafting every single part of a game except this one wee thing.

The real and true story of why Police Squad (the TV series Naked Gun was based on and easily the funniest tv show of its time) was canceled is legitimately insane and one of the most egregious examples of TV malpractice I’ve ever heard:

this is how i learned people deep fry a whole turkey?!
There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Convinced Elon shut it down because it was too embarrassing to admit that non white people are better at being racist than their white counterparts
Grand opening, grand closing.

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

Violet Jessop had also been on board RMS Olympic when it collided with HMS Hawke in 1911
HMHS Britannic sank on this day in 1916. She had left Southampton on 12 November but hit a mine in the Aegean Sea nine days later. Thirty people died. Among the survivors were Violet Jessop, Arthur Priest, and Archie Jewell, who had all survived the sinking of Britannic’s sister, Titanic, in 1912.

there was a big stooshie years back about prisoners getting "flat screen TVs" so the local prison here had to pay through the nose in order to acquire some of the few remaining working CRT televisions it could locate, far more than the equivalent cost of basic flat screens, just to avoid bad press
I recall an Express or Mail front page 20 years ago about prisoners being lavished with brand new mattresses, beds and sheets worth (large sum of money). Hundreds of words of squawking MPs and Taxpayer’s Alliance spokescreatures later, the prison said: “We have to buy new beds every decade or so”.
