A person that did not do a single useful thing in their life and built their empire on exploitation and fraud became the first trillionaire. If you still believe capitalism works and aren't disgusted, I don't know how to help you.

At some point you've got to ask yourself why there isn't more resistance.

Imagine you have to listen to your grandpa with dementia talk about wet sand for 20 minutes, except that your grandpa has the nuclear football.
I think it's fascinating how a certain kind of being "well" dressed as a man has been co-opted by the extreme right. Just say a guy in a suit and my first thought was "I hope he isn't one of these Andrew Tate guys".
I'm so tired of monitoring the situation. In related news I might just have checked wind conditions over northern Iran just in case I'm not flying a polar route today. 🫠
The first war I became aware of was the Gulf War when I was 10. I still remember being so deeply disturbed that I tried to sort and understand it by cutting out news each day, collecting them in a binder for months. The feeling is the same now, but I stopped collecting newspaper clippings.
2035, the nuclear wasteland. Biker gangs fighting over the last drops of gasoline and fresh water. The only historical records that remain are AI slop Lego videos.
A few years ago I had a fun idea: Make the most obnoxious AI possible. I called it "Uhm, actually bot". And well… we live in a tech dystopia where every dumb idea gets made eventually: https://youtu.be/iVDJ8O89ERg?is=SGdGerkEqLsuYr_t
The increasing Lost-ification of reality: Lots of bullshit is happening, but everybody gave up on even asking why.
I feel like we don't talk enough about how much of nerd and tech bro culture is fashion. No, not Patagonia, but e.g. the tech stack du jour. Let's be real, there's little difference between "I'm wearing Vaquera tonight" and "I'm running Kimi 2.6 locally to trade SPX6900 on Solana."
I wonder when LEGO will release the Iran AI Slop video play set.

@marthadear Ich denke im Moment viel an diese Episode. Wie *während #Aufschrei* Kritik an Ulmen abgetan wurde und jetzt alle überrascht sind dass er nicht "einer von den guten" ist. Gute Chance dass er das damals schon gemacht hat, wenn das 10+ Jahre lang so ging…
Equal parts Dr Pepper, Grapesoda and cotton candy. 11/10. Would NOPE again. #konbinireviews
I guess anyone in the imperial periphery that can and not already hasn't, will be spinning up their centrifuges.

@juandesant It means "now". It's a (oldish) social media slang. https://kotobank.jp/word/なう-587426

@muan This looks like an issue cause by the emoji being a cluster of four different code points: woman, skin tone modifier, zero-width joiner, laptop. Have you tried a different font?
The dishonesty is not new. It's just disgusting how brazen it has become. https://www.euronews.com/2025/07/02/german-chancellor-merz-faces-pride-flag-fallout-after-saying-bundestag-not-a-circus

@beej@kind.social The easy fix would be to not draw the poly line segment with x1=max and x2=0. But yes, ideally there is budget for more views. ;)
