TRUST IN TRUMP.

People on TikTok are like “If someone you don’t know says hi to you as you pass them on a sidewalk, they’re engaging in a manipulation tactic called ‘boundary-bombing’—here’s 5 signs to look out for” and then their next post is “The Village Theory” about how people need community

He’s going to the post office. Add 10 people in line who have never mailed anything in their entire life

this is how I imagine couples in SF break up with each other

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email for a code… Welcome back! We’ve updated our terms of service and privacy policy (you have none). Subscribe to the site. Subscribe to Netflix. Subscribe to toilet paper. Subscribe to these groceries. Pay a membership fee for the right to subscribe then tip your driver who delivers the subscriptions your membership lets you subscribe to. Time to work? We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

I’ll admit, when I was a kid in the 90s I definitely thought that Kid Rock would have less direct involvement with military operations

Wanted to cash in on a six-year-old gift card, which apparently I can only do now in Switzerland or Saudi Arabia

Totally outrageous that right-wingers ever had the temerity to lecture people about civility and respect when this is their guy

“AI isn’t going away.” “We need guns no matter how many shootings there are.” “Covid is here to stay.” None of you want better, do you? Do you realize none of this has to happen? All of this is preventable. We can all demand better and do better. None of this is inevitable.

Reminder: Shaming these losers works. Dont stop.

Letting tech people touch the arts has to be one of the worst mistakes humanity has made. They have such deep contempt for creativity, ownership, and shared experiences. Life itself is an enemy. They will strangle every industry to death to have each cough up an extra dollar.

[Henning Fog @HenningFog]

The only way for Film Twitter to end the great Train Wars debate of 2025, and no part of this gives me pleasure, is for everyone to watch The Life of Chuck. Perspectives will shift. Statements will be walked back. There is another enemy walking freely

isn’t the point of having a 50 year old boyfriend that he’s not going to be dramatic on substack

At around 3pm today it officially becomes The Holidays- you don’t have to try at your job and you can drink at any time. This typically lasts until Reyes Magos but you can push it to MLK day if you have the courage

Reader, I laughed so hard at this excerpt from Olivia Nuzzi's book that I woke up my sleeping baby.

Every photo of Trump now you can assume the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein is just out of frame, haunting his ass like Ethel Rosenberg did Roy Cohn in Angels in America
