"You were mean to us, so we had to murder you" is the tactic this rancid, racist canned ham is going with, in case you were wondering if things were going to get better.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

This weekend I went backpacking with Thing One. It rained, we were cold and miserable, and it was the best. Today, I have to write engineering docs no one will read to assist a migration that doesn't matter while reading about the world's reefs dying.
Can I be back in the woods and rain now please?

Genuinely this feels like the biggest story of the day. The Washington Post is now owned and run by soneone pandering to Trump. As is Facebook and Instagram. As is Twitter. As is Fox News and the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal. And now TikTok? Come on, this is a serious problem.
Oh look, Trump’s organized a potential sale of the other extremely large US social media company to one of hus billionaire supporters. That’ll end well. www.cnn.com/2025/09/15/t...

Got a COVID shot today because:
1. Book tour starts tomorrow and then I have events all through November;
2. Fuck RFK Jr, that worm-piloted pleather ballbag of pestilence and stupidity.

I finished watching this today. It's very good. You should watch it. Be prepared to feel uncomfortable a few times. Be prepared to cry a few times. And then, maybe, be prepared to take action a few times?

The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this:
When the digital future that Sam Altman ( or Elon, or Andreessen, etc) predicts fails to materialize, he doesn’t have to give the money back.

I am late to the party but have just seen the whole “woke logo” thing for Cracker Barrel.
Is minimalist “woke” now? Because this is just a standard sanding the edges off of a logo thing—most companies have done this at some point.
Or does “woke” now just mean “it changed and I’m scared”? Jesus.

is masculinity when you never stop fucking whining about everything? that seems to be the vance demo
JD Vance: "Our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge ... my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person bc you're a man, bc you like to tell a joke, bc you like to have a beer with your friends."
