well a livestream of three tiktok influencers halfheartedly trying to talk down a man who is in the process of slicing himself into ribbons has sealed it for me, vertical video should not exist

me when someone i dont like leaves up a post i dont like: does the knave know no shame? he makes clear his unrepentant, beastly nature! victory is mine! me when someone i dont like deletes a post i dont like: ha! the coward retreats, acknowledging his foul crime! victory is mine!

@adamconover.net and i are texting each other just saying "holy shit" or things of that nature a lot lately and it's always about like, did you see g'kar just put on a hat in front of a picture of daffy duck

everyone in my night lords army has long greasy black hair except for these guys who exploded theirs off with their backfiring disintegrators like wile e coyote

"with musk's money he could just make a movie why use AI" because then he'd have to pay people, support workers, contribute to culture in some small way even if it was to ultimately make a dogshit movie. just using AI means he can avoid all that AND make people mad

i cannot believe they found a way to make the experience of playing commander worse. imagine getting infinite combo'd by a nude man at the sex club
