Reading Kurt Vonnegut was one of the better decisions I made when I was seventeen

Photo of a page in Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. My thumb is visible on the left. It says:

The founders were aristocrats, and they wished to show off their useless education, which consisted of the study of hocus-pocus from ancient times. They were bum poets as well.

But some of the nonsense was evil, since it concealed great crimes. For example, teachers of children in the
United States of America wrote this date on blackboards again and again, and asked the children to memorize it
with pride and joy:

1492

The teachers told the children that this was when their continent was discovered by human beings. Actually, millions of human beings were already living full and imaginative lives on the continent in 1492. That was simply the
year in which sea pirates began to cheat and rob and kill them.

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

They're spinning this as a marketing fail but I think the real story is just that people are stupid as fucking rocks now fortune.com/2025/10/10/p...

Lay's drastically rebrands after disturbing finding: 42% of consumers didn't know their chips were made out of potatoes | Fortune

New bags—matte-ified and designed to look like wood planks (like a potato crate)—will hold the chips with revamped ingredient lists.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

The only ethical use of AI is to create a deepfaked cut of Tron 3 that replaces Jared Leto with Tim Robinson released to torrent sites the same day it premieres in theaters

OpenAI is trying to clamp down on ‘bias’ in ChatGPT

I know it’s just one meaningless story but it’s pretty emblematic of the media that all this shit is going on and someone at a long standing newspaper was like I’m finally gonna write about how everyone thinks Johnny Cash is a fuckin nerd, and the editor was like “yes, America needs to know”
