LMFAO

Guys are stupid in their teens and twenties. As you get older, you’re steered away from dumb habits by role models and the scientific method. But male influencers tell these dummies that growth is a bad thing, so now we have guys acting like THIS and wondering why women aren’t interested.

male loneliness epidemic is here to stay

I think the box office takeaway is that people have always loved it when the vorpal blade went snicker-snack and they continue to love it. In fact, I would say the love of snicker-snack is the single surest thing in the history of cinema

the use of "feral" here is a strong indicator of Gender. damon plays a wife-guy who Feels Things about the brutality of war other than revelry and that means he's a lib(cuck).

They’re having a completely normal one over at the National Review this weekend

Dang they really got a category for everything

It sounds like the kind of comedy skit where someone just hands the bank teller an increasing number of kittens and then offers to hold the cash so that the teller can hold the kittens and then they take back the kittens, say "pleasure doing business with you" and walk out with both kittens and cash

"He asked a bank teller to hold the kitten while he wrote a note, then handed it to the employee." This is genius only a cat would think of.

This is hugely exciting for anyone interested in questions like: How fast can you break a $95,000 robot?

As a robotics researcher, learning scientist, and author who has followed Realbotix for years, I'm compelled to do a Bluesky thread on this whole pivot that Realbotix is now trying, turning from humanoid sex robots to classroom "education" robots. Buckle up. nysfocus.com/2026/07/14/n... 🧵

Noooo, not Sam Neill!

my god, this is amazing. apparently from a NY Times interview with Neill and Goldblum. Resharing with alt text so everyone can enjoy

The movie holds up. As does this great anecdote courtesy of Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

this is what i do at home. when i have excess energy i hoist bricks to the roof of my house and when im having a bad day i chuck them off to feel better

China built a 40-story tower that banks wind power by hoisting giant concrete blocks, then dropping them when the grid needs juice. A skyscraper-sized battery with no lithium in it.

Some comics and art I remember from right after the vote.

Reminder: The Universe is around 13.787 billion years old. As Space Karen is now worth 1.1 Trillion dollars I mean... WTAF... TAX the fucking rich, if you own more money that the age of the universe, that really should be the cut off. 1.1 trillion ÷ 13.7 billion ≈ 80.291970803

Aussie youths bullied off the internet by dogooders? And now decent British teens as well? Is this good? We may never know. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

British teens vs the looming social media ban! Who will be victorious? | First Dog on the Moon

Australia’s ban doesn’t seem to be working but the UK is planning to do their own anyway. Good luck!

A discussion about the social media ban on under 16s. BBC: “You’re gong to have a lot more time to fill. What will you do?” Student: “Stare at a wall.”

Plus they tend not to age bracket it well. A single online space for kids is too vague and the difference of maturity levels within that definition are too great. If they make it tame enough for younger kids, the teenagers are going to try to break it and cause trouble in the space out of boredom.

Mallory Moore@sexabolition.blog · 2mo ago

I mean I think it would be pretty good if someone wanted to build a garden for kids but it's always "let's build a playpen, and have none of the good stuff on the internet in it" because it's a weirdly carceral view of how to manage the vulnerability of childhood.

Nobody stopped making the Office. There's been 15 international versions of The Office created since the British one in 2001. Australia's version was made in 2024. It flopped because we already had solid homegrown office-based comedies plus the British and US versions of the Office to compare to.

Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 2mo ago

Every so often, some washed up sitcom dude do this sort of thing where they pretend that they made some truly edgy and controversial comedy that couldn't be made today, and it's just like... you're saying this about THE OFFICE?

I realised the other day when a gen z friend was telling me that watching a 00s film he hadn't seen before had been ruined because he'd seen removed-from-context memes about it. And for millennials this is what the Simpsons did.

Heard a radio story discussing how they claimed Claude was going to be able to break bank security and then paused it so they could sell security packages to banks. The mafia was more subtle.

Learning about the knock-on effects global supply chains was more fun when it was a big stuck boat that was causing the problems.

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

But such outfits offend people — really offend people — because people don't think of clothes as anything more than consumables. It's notable to me that the Met Gala gets compared to the Hunger Games, whereas such criticism is rarely levied at the Oscar's red carpet or the Super Bowl halftime show.

— The Met Gala raises money through ticket sales. Major fashion houses purchase entire tables and invite celebrities to attend the event in their designs. For brands, this functions as a form of marketing, similar to runway shows. But here, the spending also helps fund a public cultural institution.
