G O O D. Businesses aren't your free social media film studios. Also, it ain't like NANTUCKET ISLAND is some obscure location begging for tourism coverage.
NBC10 Boston@nbcboston.com · 2d agoNantucket has always been one of the most picturesque vacation spots in Massachusetts. But one small business on the island has sparked controversy for seemingly drawing a line in the sand, discouraging one particular group of tourists from visiting. on.nbcboston.com/IE6Zo30
I know we all have to wrangle survivorship bias here but goddammit this is how you raise a generation of mewling pissbabies who can't figure out how to tie their own shoes and have a panic attack while on their tiktok live stream if a car honks its horn nearby.

At almost fifty years old, I'm increasingly relieved I don't have children because I don't know how I would explain to them how I and everyone else failed to stop the world from becoming this fucking stupid and illiterate and incompetent. Genuinely embarrassing on every conceivable level.

Some things are best left on a metaphorical gas station spinner rack.
You can learn to live in a world. You can learn to overcome things. Increasingly, there are groups online who not only refuse that, but believe there is some moral good they have derived from making that choice, that they choose wholesomeness over reality and that simply makes them better.
Cozy games have become real lotus-eater shit to the type of person who have decided they would rather stop living life in any capacity than accept being challenged or having to do their own laundry while romanticizing their own pitiful self-destruction as softness away from a cruel world.

This is a powerful statistic in a Boston Globe editorial about the dangers posed by large trucks in cities. There are many possible solutions: Redesigning trucks, limiting them in some areas, and using smaller vehicles such as cargo bikes for last-mile delivery. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/09/o...
A 1991 bar weighed 62.5g; today's is 40g. But the real jump is price: that bar cost about 25p in 1992, roughly 70p in today's money, while the current one runs £1.20 at Tesco. By weight, Mars Bars now cost nearly three times what they did.
1991 Mars Bar highlights shrinkflation and inflation alike
Victoria Gordon, operator of a cleaning service, found a 35-year-old Mars Bar while plowing through a hoarder's house in Scunthorpe, England. Shocked by its enormity, she posed it with a…

As someone who had a "Can't sleep, someone is wrong on the Internet" phase about 20 years ago, my best advice to you if you're like that is, honestly, just stop it. Not only are you destroying your mental health, the algorithm is going to reward them, not you. You're doing their work for them. Stop.
When it’s humid like it is today, heavy & muggy, I think about all those years I spent in the bookstore, and the way covers of paperbacks on the tables near the door would curl up in the damp, like slow motion films of flowers blooming, each one making the C-shape of The Great Wave off Kanagawa

I try to be a man of peace and understanding but I think that if you drop a BM in a public toilet stall and you don't flush, the stall door latch should zap you with a nasty electrical shock.
I'm flying next week and while I'm not the kind of person who would actively get in someone's face on a plane just for being an annoying asshole, I do pack a pretty effective pair of noise-cancelling headphones and they're not just for blocking out wooshy plane sounds.
Hemant Mehta@friendlyatheist.com · 3w agoEvangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
Please remember that as a new father, Sam Altman said he can't possibly fathom how anyone raised children without AI. He is... not particularly bright.

I was in a car accident two years ago and wound up on some guy's lawn, and when he came out to make sure we were okay, he told us that cars speed along that road all the time and there's an accident of some kind at least once a week. So, yuppppp. 🙃
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 3w agoSomething you notice when you read a lot of stories about traffic violence is how often a witness will talk about the fact that a particular road has seen a lot of crashes or speeding. We know some streets are particularly dangerous and yet no action is taken. That's why these are not accidents.
