I make many, many podcasts for Cool Zone Media. You can find things I've written at Bellingcat, New Lines Magazine, Rolling Stone, Business Insider, and more.
it cost some hero $8 to evaporate billions in Eli Lilly stock value. Elon accidentally created one of the most cost effective anti capitalist tools in history.
why yes i would like to adopt a tiny, semi-feral animal with a lifespan just a fraction of my own and then make it's continued survival the lynchpin of my mental health
free advice to all foreigners: 9/11 jokes do not work on us. there is nothing Americans hold sacred as a people. you can some times mock us as regions, talk shit about sweet tea to rile up Texans, tell a New Yorker their bodegas are just corner stores, etc
I am here outside the Federal Courthouse in Downtown Portland, where a crowd of mothers have gathered again after being tear gassed last night by feds.
This is one of the largest Portland crowds we have seen this month.
there is something unsettling going on with the Depp / Heard trial that has not been fully sussed out. I have never in my life online been so relentlessly pushed to watch videos on a subject, despite never having clicked on a single one.
I'm sorry but how fucking fast should the U.S. be expected to move when a rich people in a suicide can go missing because a company deliberately ignored all best practices and safety regs
Dante wrote a book that was just him bitching about his equivalent of the DMV and whining about a girl he used to crush on, and that became an integral part of like a billion people's religious beliefs. might be the most impressive feat in the history of fiction.
it used to be only nation-states could cause accidental explosions like this. god bless this country for giving every family an unsecured explosive stockpile
This is a very big deal⤵️ A Musk election interference effort that tricks people in swing states into thinking they've registered to vote. Read/ share.
we all know coke is bad of course, but say you're twenty-two someone you have a crush on invites you to a party and asks you to do coke off their naked body. how much self control can we as a society reasonably expect from me, I mean someone, in that situation
pride may not even be the right emotion but reading about the nightmare logistic hurdles the Germans and Japanese went through to build single battleships and then reading about the U.S. almost on accident producing 151 aircraft carriers definitely inspired something
folks complaining that the government or whoever isn't doing enough to rescue the deathsub may not realize that rescuing human beings submerged anywhere near the depth this thing was supposed to be at would be harder than putting a man on the moon
It really sucks that the stuff Biden is awful on makes it hard to appreciate the key way in which he is our best president: having an uncontrolled dog that repeatedly assaults federal agents
In an attempt to get Americans to see why Japan finds Barbenheimer offensive, Japanese twitter has taken to making 9/11 jokes - completely misunderstanding that Americans love 9/11 jokes.
a protester in the Capitol with what appears to be a handgun on his hip and zipties, to take congressional hostages. hundreds of people were talking about doing this openly, online in places like
They were also talking about executing elected Democrats
it's not that Mark is acting more "normal" now, it's that he is the first person with equivalent media focus and fame to treat Elon the way he clearly deserves to be treated: as an absolute charlatan.
Henry Kissinger, Amerikaans diplomaat en staatsman, is dood. Als ROOD vieren wij deze dag. Kissinger was één van de grootste oorlogscriminelen van de 20ste eeuw. Socialisten kunnen niet onverschillig staan tegenover de misdaden van deze massamoordenaar. (1/12)
NEW: Baltimore Police say the person shot was 17 years old, saying he was displaying traits of an armed person before he took off running. Officers rendered aid and the 17 year old is in critical condition.
@wjz
honestly Elon big ups on the recent changes. I know I have a problem and the only thing stronger than my addictive personality is my desire to not pay you $8
we should see pictures of the Colorado Springs shooter as he was taken to the hospital. we should see him badly injured and plugged into equipment.
Doing so will help scare other shooters out of action.
Thought he had an easy target. Didn’t realize dude rockin the sandals/jeans/ponytail/solo Bluetooth was born into the shitty internet debate. Molded by it. When Mr TikTok was out partying he was studying Usenet archives and paying for Something Awful…
the 50 cal he is holding has no sights. Not even iron sights. This means it cannot be aimed with any precision. It is effectively useless beyond point blank range. He owns this just to hear the bang.
Derek Chauvin is serving 21 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Someone just tried to murder him. If they'd do this to him, they'd do it to you.
the entire point of hank hill as a character is that he is a fundamentally good person. His conservative politics always play second to his decency. he is a model to the fact that what you believe about politics always matters less than how you believe people should be treated
What made King of the Hill work was the fact that, even though he was a trad conservative, Hank Hill was actually a good person and his sincere attempts to understand others made him cute and fun. A mean-spirited Hank Hill would not be entertaining, just annoying.
neither Beshear nor Harris have perfect records on trans issues but at this moment in U.S. politics we are not going to do better than a man with a soft Kentucky accent willing to stand up in front of the county and go, "These people are cruel to little kids."
Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) on his re-election and vetoing anti-trans bills:
"All children are children of God … I was going to stand up for the most marginalized children who didn't deserve either a state legislature or an entire campaign picking on them."
The Portland mass shooter has finally been charged with murder.
The protester who returned fire and saved god knows how many lives has had all charges against him dropped. Prosecutors say they reviewed the video. This was justified self defense and he carried his weapon legally.
"Let's quit 2 year elections and go to 100 days of butt whipping," says Walz.
"We don't even have to sleep. We can sleep when we are dead."
He says Democrats will expand universal meals and health care access, move towards a clean energy economy
insane that Watterson never really read or watched Noir, just sorta wrote what he guessed was a good parody and wound up writing some of the best lines in the history of the genre
Gov Andy Beshear: “When I vetoed the nastiest LGBTQ+ bill that our state has ever seen, I did it because I believe all children are children of God.
I wanted those children to know that while other people were picking on them, somebody cared about them.”
BREAKING: Pennsylvania man beheaded his father, a federal employee, and called for "revolution" against "Biden regime" and "army of illegal immigrants" in online video
looking at the people who disagree with this and a lot are folks saying "I responded badly to realizing my parents fuck so yes this is traumatic and abusive" and I hate to tell you kids, but part of being a human is encountering normal shit that impacts you forever in weird ways
Today, our executive director confronted & removed 2

Troopers who entered our property unlawfully. They are told that as long as they are "assisting Border Patrol" the 4th Amendment doesn't apply. This is false.

no one got injured in this so i feel comfortable laughing at it. absolutely unbelievable slapstick. the sound of this goober screaming that he's been shot (he was not) is just perfect comedy
Bryan Johnson 45-year-old founder of Braintree Payment Solutions which also owned Venmo sold his companies to PayPal in 2013 for $800 Million. Johnson just revealed that he spends $2 million per year to retain youth and he uses his teenage son as what he calls his ‘blood boy.’
our flight attendant spent four hours on grounded plane for no pay. i know there's a lot going on right now but we really do need to riot for these people at some point
The crowd at the University of Texas Dallas is now five times the size of was when I left the liberated zone earlier today before law enforcement forcefully dispersed the camp, trashed it, and arrested some protesters. Now, the crowd is chanting "You Failed Uvalde."
it's funny to imagine the violence with which Steve Jobs would have responded to this product. engineers would have been flogged, their weeping wounds salted. the design team would have been walled up in a Cupertino basement.
Apple's new Vision Pro will deliver new immersive experiences to users
for example, in the photos below, these two women are experiencing for the very first time what its like to be a huge ass loser
hey everybody, just your nightly reminder that we as a society are deciding right now if we're all gonna live out our days as free people or die in a police state
there really aren't many people with weirder life archs than Arnold. trying to explain his existence in like, 150 years is going to be almost impossible
Arnold Schwarzenegger to antisemites and other hate groups: "There has never been a successful movement based on hate. Nazis? Losers. The Confederacy? Losers. The Apartheid movement? Losers. I don’t want you to be a loser. I don’t want you to be weak."
i love how Bill Burr keeps proving you can be a rich famous comedian without losing your mind and all it takes is having a single healthy normal human relationship
a new, year-long study found Google Search really has gotten worse, and top-ranking sites are "on average more optimized, more monetized with affiliate marketing, and they show signs of lower text quality" Also evidence of AI-generated top-ranking results
