one of my big takeaways lately is in 2026 we are now basically at 20 years of social media. this is a clear marker. we can now look back and assess the results. i am tempted to say we will determine social media was basically about as socially beneficial as the plague.
it's all just a sign twitter was bad

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It sounds like comically specific hyperbole but it is verifiably true that in the same year Elon Musk predicted fully autonomous taxis serving half the nation, what actually happened was his chatbot became a pedophile

I'm taking my oath of office over the instruction booklet that came packaged with the Wolfenstein 3D floppy disks
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

My assumption is that each strike corresponds with a night that Trump was desperate to have an erection.
In 2025, the US launched strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, al-Shabab in Somalia, ISIS in Syria, alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, plus Iran’s nuclear program. Now some into Nigeria.
All killed people and damaged things, but none appear to have achieved anything lasting.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I use what I refer to as “customer service voice”, which is me pitching up my voice so that people can understand what I am saying and sound less threatening. Dudes trying real hard to get to what my voice actually is amuses the hell out of me- like, no one can understand your scratchy mumbles.
My theory is that something like 30% of all men use a fake deep voice almost all the time. So many guys talk and I instantly think “Not your real voice. Now your coward’s soul is bare to me”
So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.
