"my opponents are violent antifa extremist terrorists"

"your opponents are dressed as giant inflatable frogs"

solid fuck you to the pepe crowd too

The mass firings at the CDC tonight drive home the fact that no one is coming to save us

But we can save each other

Wear a mask. Ideally a respirator like an N95

Even if you’re vaccinated. Even if you’re “not worried”

It protects you but it also protects everyone else

Bonus? Less colds & flus!

The new mister beast video is fucking insane. He just turns to the camera and says "and from the wings of the beast shall be born the winds of apocalypse" and just shoots the contestants on the head. They they just keep going will new contestants.

The constant struggle between my anti-carceral beliefs and this country’s need to chase down white collar crime like CBS cops chasing a straggly serial killer who leaves rhyming clues and just offed beloved number 4 on the call sheet.

Nevada could’ve fined Elon Musk’s Boring Co. more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

Langford imagined "what would the internet look like if any image or video could kill you?"

What would the internet look like if basically all of became meaningless vomit?

An internet where any given image or text has an increasingly high chance of being meaningless regurgitation, literal garbage that can only mislead and confuse and annoy.

Consider AI generated images and video, regurgitated at inhuman rates onto the internet, totally destroying any ability to process accurate information as the internet is filled with sewage. It's also text, though.

It's heavily implied most of the the previous internet was essentially toxic waste. Here be monsters. You couldn't trust its videos and images not to kill you instantly.

In Langford's BLIT stories, after the creation and release of the BLITs every government had to ruthlessly censor all online content of images. Any site showing images could harbor a BLIT that could kill or maim countless people.

the list of things that needs to be done to repair this country is extensive but high up on it is breaking the power of the tech lords

they are convinced they are untouchable feudal barons whose money allows them to dictate everyone else's life and they must be disabused of that notion

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

The first of these arrived today, over a dozen stainless steel 55 gallon drums full of strange Eastern European toaster pastries.

I consumed an entire drum, it was borscht and pineapple flavored filling

Ordered 2,300kg of a strange Eastern European knockoff of pop tarts, interesting fillings like apple dill, paprika and chocolate, beet, blood sausage and mango, etc

Even though she had already spent a while thoroughly clearing West Point, tens of thousands of zombies killed and place looking empty, it brought in enough for her to carpet the streets knee high with corpses

This stream went on for 12+ hours, going into overtime on a new stream to hit 100,000 kills.

She finally got to use a car, which in rat race is 10x louder than normal and able to pull every zombie on the map to you if you back up with the Sunday Driver trait.

She drove it across a parking lot.

Milquetoast Claire pushing to kill 6,000 more zombies to reach 100,000, her cat *immediately* comes over and tries to take up all the space on the mousepad and threatens to flop onto the keyboard.

Rat Race is already every difficulty setting cranked to 11.
