"Is macready or childs The Thing at the end?" theorists are idiots. The answer is John Carpenter. It's in the poster. John Carpenter's The Thing. Dumbass

@Anarseldain God willing

Dems will start executing people in 2027, after MIDTERMS, if these people don’t wise up and put up an actual resistance. Virginia GOP’s pick was a fucking jamaican female immigrant. Ohio GOP’s pick is VIVEK. And Thune is holding dog parades instead of getting votes for SAVE.

DOGE was a thing for like 6 months, and already the people involved are being dragged into tribunals – even while the GOP holds all branches of government. Dems will start killing people by firing squad in 2029 if our failure of a GOP doesn’t get serious.

@DKThomp whatever it takes to keep the bubble going

There are still a lot of journalists and commentators that I follow who think AI is nothing of much significance—still just a mildly fancy auto complete machine that hallucinates half the time and can’t even think. If you’re in that category: What is something I could write, or show with my reporting and work, that might make you change your mind?

@CountVolpe Cleo From 5-7, Le Samourai, and Targets...this is such a great list!

I had a pretty epic year of checking off big blind spots in 2025, here are my favorites:

@garrytan I, too, hope to one day teach my children to be useless/helpless

@ThrillaRilla369 Get over yourselves and sneak food/drinks in like adults. They don't check bags at the door. Live a little, for heaven's sake.

Friendly reminder Netflix didn't kill movie theaters. $25 popcorn did. And $12 water sealed the coffin...

@CountVolpe I will never be convinced the cast didn't die and were then resurrected by an actual sorcery afterward. What a movie!

Holy fucking shit??????

@DrAlexJoffe @camkasky That is the case if you are an idiot, yes

Just to clarify, if you 'abolish ICE' then you implicitly state that citizenship is meaningless. Therefore 'Medicare for all' means taxpayers providing healthcare to everyone who can make it to this continent. That seems economically unsustainable. Also there was no 'genocide.' Grow up.

Medicare For All. Stop Funding Genocide. Abolish ICE. #YesWeCam Donate & Support: kaskyforcongress.com

@JLaneria @alexarriaga__ Excellent call

hello freaks I am seeking suggestions

@tbpn @alexandr_wang 20+ year developer here. This is awful advice, and Alex Wang knows it, but has a financial stake in every young dev thinking otherwise. If he sincerely believes it, then he is an idiot. If you must use AI, learn the craft first, so you know how to best use it.

When we sat down with @alexandr_wang at Meta Connect 2025, he shared his advice for young people: “If you’re 13 right now, you should spend all your time vibe coding. This is the Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg moment. The people who grow up with these tools will have an immense advantage in the future economy.” From his appearance on the show in September.

@Lead_Flinger Mind your own business

When I go to the store and see them advertising big tubs of chocolate chip cookies as EBT eligible it makes me not care about it getting shut down.

@clairlemon Are ICE/CBP abducting random Jewish people off the street or am I missing something here

Between Mamdani’s rise in the Democratic Party, and the most popular “news” podcaster in the country normalising Nazism, I would be a tad nervous to be Jewish in America (not that it’s much better anywhere else.)

@Son_of_Mars_III How old are you

Halo is Right Wing art. Everything about it is fascist and good. It is camp of the saints. It is man against the alien hordes. It is the divine mandate from heaven to conquer the stars.

@TeaAndTheosis Limbo trying to get its numbers up

@DefiantLs Because you touch yourself at night

Why is Google suppressing Grokipedia?

@vietnamberg My brother in Christ, please just get Mexican food from Pilsen (delivered or fresh)

Any brilliant economists out there wanna explain the chipotle outage in some of the most popular/densely populated areas of the city

@baddiemaddie43 My absolute favorite view of the city is looking east off the Brown Line as it crosses the river between M Mart and Wash & Wells. Day or night, it is straight up gorgeous.

I was feeling like a lazy piece of shit after work but remembered I lived in the best city in the world so I went on a walk so I could see my favorite view.

We are a world class city without the baggage of world class jagoffs (just street level ones). Keep all of those people where they are, we are good.

@hitsamty The most absolutely fragile people ok the planet

The team at Colossus is breaking something in magazine journalism in a fascinating way. Let me try to articulate. Even just a few years ago, if you wanted to read a beautifully written, exhaustively reported and actually interesting piece on someone shaping a corner of the world, you'd have to choose from the handful of journalistic outlets that had the ability to deliver them: on the production side, a stable of seasoned writers & editors who knew how to weave narrative, reportage and literary rigor into an engaging longform story, and on the distribution side a sizable audience that appreciated such work. Think: The New Yorker, Businessweek, NYT Mag, Atavist, Wired, The Atlantic, old Esquire, etc. The problem: Such outlets will produce a warts-and-all piece, diving deep into parts of a protagonist's journey that she may not want spotlighted. Journalists are pushed to find the "balance" or "tension" in the story, and oftentimes they force it by going negative/hyping up the bad. The subject that gave the outlet access might come to regret that decision. The alternative might be going to a friendly outlet, however, those tend to 1. Not have the skills to produce a sufficiently high-quality piece 2. Are dismissed as unserious by the audiences you're trying to reach – people can smell a puff piece from a mile away (Sequoia's SBF profile is an all-timer of the genre) So, in sum, your choices as a tech/business mogul used to be: trust a trad outlet with your story and pray they don't come in too hot, or have your message put out with a Pravda type rag and have it be ignored. Both bad options, so many subjects opted to stay on the sidelines and not talk at all. Along came Colossus: It is NOT a journalistic outlet – their mission is not "truth to power" etc. etc. (Zero judgment btw, just facts – I'm an admirer of what they're building). Their mission IS to create the most compelling archive of business & investing content, for an audience of B&I folks, a cozy audience of heavy-hitters. However, the brilliance of their approach is that their stuff feels like the real thing. Their pieces are often exquisitely crafted, deeply reported, produced with a clear understanding of what makes magazines so special. The punches will be pulled, but the reading pleasure isn't sacrificed. And they've hired real talent for it - EIC Jeremy Stern, whose engrossing new Josh Kushner piece is breaking the Internet today, wrote what I thought was the profile of the year in '24 for Tablet, of Anduril's Palmer Luckey. Thus Colossus becomes an incredibly compelling place for machers to trust with their stories. Why go to TNY/Atlantic etc. if you can get a similar level of quality w/o the downside reputational risk? This is content marketing, but done so beautifully that the intended audience won't care. Not a critique of the story, which I read in a single sitting and enjoyed heaps. Just wanted to share some observations of the model and how it's going to box out the trad outlets. Access will be restricted to those whose pens are kind.
