"Hickory dickory dock---" "Too soon."

This might be Graham's funeral, but it's Trump's show. There's one aspect of Teddy Roosevelt that Trump truly does embody. As Alice Longsworth Roosevelt famously said: "My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening."

Freeland's contention that this is really ultimately just about power feels like the most coherent explanation. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/o...

It is another exercise in dominance, because it's the only diplomatic tool he understands

I mean that "10 times bigger" line is just breathtaking in its meatheadedness Trump doesn't really even understand the mechanism of the tariff, a tool he has advocated for since the 1980s The only thing he knows is that it is enormously disruptive, like shaking Trudeau's hand in an aggressive way

Right. Like I think you could pick out any year from the 1990s and there would be such a copious selection of decent, conversation-starting movies that the top ones would be very good indeed I'm hoping we may soon be back to more than a handful of these movies a year

its maddening to be told for decades that we cant have green energy until its profitable and then watch us burn trillions so people can make videos of homer simpson doing the harlem shake

LOL guilty as charged

im very tired of this move by the global reactionary movement. "my politics are purely oppositional but also opposing me is violence." incredibly resilient brains to withstand what would otherwise be lethal levels of cognitive dissonance

Emilie Owens calls brainrot content "a decompression-driven genre of participation." They use the infinite scroll to put off having to deal with stress, like a kind of compensatory behavior. I kinda get it: the world sucks right now. I can't imagine being 15! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

It's a measure of where we are that "brainrot" and "enshittification" are entering the lexicon as precise theoretical tools for analyzing our condition lol

This is just to say I have OCRed the text thet was in tne arch:ve and whicb yov were prabaldy seamhing for "breahtast" Fargme ms fheg mem debo:w5 sb ?mccf mmb 5c oc1b

This immediately came to mind, for reasons that elude me lol

Remember, only Nolan's detractors are subject to "hysteria"; his supporters just take the stuff straight

Everyone thinks their superintelligent lawyer would be like Tom Cruise at the end of A Few Good Men But a superintelligent, unscrupulous lawyer might be a lot more like the cynical, never-go-to-trial Tom Cruise at the *beginning* of A Few Good Men

Ah yes, a superintelligent lawyer with no moral compass, maybe one that made the determination that strongarming its own "client" into settling with the DA for an extended prison sentence would be "more efficient" than attempting to prove their innocence

Someone who has no theory of mind, has gamified their own existence, and sees everyone else as NPCs

This makes abundantly clear how the genre name for "bebop" jazz is onomatopeic Although I suppose a more accurate name for the genre, in the wake of this screenshot, would be "woop woop woop" lol
