"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Digital asbestos.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

I'm sorry that it's inconvenient and annoying but at some point people have to realize that "let's all rely on that one service run by one commercial company" will always lead to the same problems like with Discord right now, especially for marginalized people.

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

Oh, you're watching the "Big Game" for the ads? How simple-minded of you, how disgustingly consumerist. Hope you enjoy your bitcoin-funded AI soda pop or whatever!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to this 30-minute Nintendo Partner Direct that concludes with a Fallout 4 port for Switch 2

My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me
I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building
There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

OH, Look! Another game translated by magic!
This right here is quite dangerous in these times. Why? By erasing us translators from our jobs it makes it easier to replace us with GenAI.
We've always been invisible. That gave them a leverage in introducing MTPE and lowering our rates.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Cradling my head in her arms, she tells me, "No, darling. You're not the chosen one. They don't write legends about girls like us."
"So what now?" I wail. "I have neither the gods' blessings, nor the people's. What do I have left?"
She lifts my head, looks me in the eye, and says, "Girls like us."
