The widespread adoption of cooked makes everybody sound like they're trying to sound 16 and gives everybody the jolt of playing Cassandra without having to commit to anything embarrassing in case they're wrong. Not a fan.

I like crime. No, wait that sounds horrible. I like true crime! I only like the crime that actually happens to people. No no let me explain. It's not that I think it should happen. It's that I relish the details of how victims suffer!

Fast-casual salad chain Sweetgreen is struggling as its traffic and sales continue to fall and it reports millions in losses each quarter.

A weapon? Formed against ME? I could easily see such a thing prospering. Good god, I hope people aren't forming weapons against me. I hope it doesn't come to that.

Lot of moves being made to try and consolidate the conservatives, but I don't think it will cover for the fact that Andrew Cuomo clearly hates New York City and Mamdani clearly loves it.

Americans have a yearning for glass bottle Coke with real sugar, and old school trucks. And there's a great country just along our border that still has both. All we need is more people from that country coming here to bring that feeling back again.

Young edgelordism isn't particularly new, examples in every generation. But that edgelordism aligning with direct political power is a distinct and disturbing phenomenon. OFWGKTA wasn't on the same wavelength as the Vice President of the United States.

I grew up liking the Orioles with Cal Ripken, and I liked the Mariners too because we didn't play them much and they had the coolest non-Orioles players (Edgar Martinez, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey, etc.). Now the Mariners are good again and they got a Cal. Works for me. Go Mariners.

The freedom of birds - have you seen this, folks, the freedom of birds? they're flying around, flying and in some cases walking and and it's a big, big problem - the freedom of birds is an insult to me. It's not very respectful, and it's not very nice, and we're going to have them all in zoos.

I am once again urging people to read 'The Cave' by José Saramago.
There is a feeling akin to cosmic horror in witnessing the plans of contemporary technofascists, but instead of cool eldritch elder gods it's pathetic, disgusting loser human beings wielding monolithic, destructive power akin to that of gods for the most banal reason (more power & wealth).
Meta is currently building an AI compute center in Louisiana that, when finished next year, will be almost as large as the city of Manhattan, and is projected to draw 2-5 GW of power by 2030. For perspective, Manhattan's annual power usage is ~2.5 GW.
