the large U.S. private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management invested $50 million US

Fascinated at how many Wall Street bros will just unironically give their companies names that are so blatantly villainous to anyone with an iota of cultural competency. Weyland-Yutani next?

This “Shield of the Americas” thing that apparently the very NOT FIRED please don’t tell people i was fired-Noem is being shunted into is gonna be just another Greenland-esque bullshit attempt to push and bully every sovereign nation across two continents. And with her involved, everybody brace yourself because it’s gonna get stupider, more insulting, and more aggressive. Like yeah, better get this woman involved in international diplomacy because she and her boyfriend/side piece did such a fucking normal job of domestic affairs… ಠ_ಠ

Please let me talk to someone with a meat body

I do hope this move results in more support for the IA/Wayback Machine and helps them to update some of their crawler tech — thanks to the rise of AI, some sites are effectively (thru captchas etc.) or actively (through straight-up greed [coughRedditcough]) blocked from being archived almost entirely, which is frustrating for legit archivists/contributors.

Goddamn. And what mostly kills me about “tiny homes” is that, like… prefabs exist! Mobile homes exist! They’ve existed for a long time! But the cultural divide and associated stigma that has been cultivated by dipshits like David Brooks and his ilk has led a huge number of people to believe they’re too good for “trailer” living, so they opt to pay thru the nose for very little additional benefit.

libertarian city-states to “restore Western Civilization.”

These grasping neo-feudalist motherfuckers need a boot lodged somewhere dark and moist. And despite his delusions of being some kind of master of the universe, someone needs to break it to Thiel he ain’t the incarnation of Moore’s Ozymandias, despite the fact he clearly thinks dollars = ‘smart boy points’ that automatically confer genius on any topic his greasy, Zippy-the-Pinhead-esque noggin puts its mind to.

Funnier if it just funneled all requests to the GeoGuessr dude.

Oh look, it’s a picture of me at every family gathering.

Honestly, I was leaning toward “funny but probably fake” myself until I checked out OP’s post history, which mentions “startups” and namedrops a few SaaS tools used heavily in marketing. If you’ve worked with marketers (or a fair few startup bros, honestly), you’ll know this isn’t beyond the bounds of reason for some of them 😂

OK sure “they’re real” but said in a tongue-in-cheek manner and no follow-up from the ‘journalist’, LOL… Right on cue, another nothingburger that will keep the Art-Bell-Coast-to-Coast crowd occupied for another few decades while the billionaire class continues to build their empires.

Heh…my only real memory of the film from viewing it back in the day is Liev Schreiber’s time-traveling character snickering at the word “erection”. Clearly I should rewatch it!

Terriers - excellent 2010 caper-style dramedy series starring Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James, created by the screenwriter behind “Oceans Eleven”. Relatable & endearing characters, compelling arcs, razor-sharp writing, wrapped in a noire detective plot set in sunny San Diego. Aired for just 13 eps on FX back in the day, only a couple of years before streaming platforms really hit big (and where it likely would have found its audience) and I’ve mourned “what could have been” ever since. Can’t recommend it enough, despite the final ep having a bit of a “lady or the tiger” ending. I urge you to seek it out.

So messed up… And “own goal”-type errors (if that is genuinely what this turns out to be) like this are doubly infuriating in that they not only unnecessarily smear uninvolved civilians but also provide ammo to bad-faith actors who will now double down on their insistence the entire push for transparency is a “witch hunt”. The last thing the world needs is to give the flailing MAGA attack apparatus ammo. Ugh.

Why does it not occur to the overconfident goons reflexively hitting “report” that the reason AI uses em dashes so frequently is because SO DID THE ACTUAL HUMANS they stole their shit from?? Alt+0151 motherfuckers, it’s not that deep 🙄

This fucking ghoul needs to be among the first in handcuffs when the prosecutions start.

Massie was and is extremely wrong about many issues IMO, but I’ll be damned if his backbone on this hasn’t given me some satisfaction. I guess being a bullheaded libertarian who sincerely believes in your principles can be an advantage when your naysayers are straight up hypocrites defending child-raping billionaires.
