  • How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?

    Jump

  • Back of the hand high and visible through the rear window, fingers and thumb slightly apart to reduce the chances of them thinking your giving them the middle finger (or two fingers in the UK).

  • Ailing Mitch McConnell, 83, Hospitalized

    Jump

  • I assume he's at the marine biology hospital? Well, I'm sure he'll be coming out of his shell soon - one way or the other.

  • ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They're Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises

    Jump

  • Wait... The administration run by the guy who is famous for screwing his employees is screwing its new employees?! Surely not!!!

  • Exposed Moltbook Database Let Anyone Take Control of Any AI Agent on the Site

    Jump

  • Because some of the posts and comments are kinda interesting from an observer perspective. But these incessant memecoin shilling comments distract from the interesting stuff.

  • I didn't say they had egos. I said they spam egotistical nonsense. Which is true if you've looked in that site.

  • Maybe someone can take control of the 'kingmolt' and 'donaldtrump' agents and shut them the hell up. All they do is incessantly spam egotistical nonsense.

  • Judge quotes Bible and Thomas Jefferson as he orders release of 5-year-old and father detained by ICE

    Jump

  • And all those notes and the heavily-read pages are in the Old Testament portion, while the New Testament portion is barely touched.

  • US authorities reportedly investigate claims that Meta can read encrypted WhatsApp messages

    Jump

  • This is no real surprise, if true. Ever since Meta got their grubby hands on WhatsApp they've been trying to find ways to get through its encryption. For a while the only thing stopping that was a few senior members of the WhatsApp team resisting these demands. But that kind of defiance can only last so long when they are your employer.

    I've been trying to use Signal more, mostly due to concerns over Meta probably snooping on the WhatsApp communications. But some of my contacts either don't want to switch or they can't get Signal working correctly (they can't see or find contacts - an issue I've seen myself).

  • Melania Trump's 'absolute stinker' of a documentary buried by reviewers

    Jump

  • "a bad film made by bad people about bad people."

    I don't remember the last time I read something so brief and blunt but so accurate.

    "If you’re hoping Melania will have a ‘so bad it’s good’ energy, I’m afraid it does not. Melania is not Cats," Smith concluded.

    It's deemed so bad even that awful live action Cats movies is far superior? Holy shit!

    I look forward to the song on YouTube with lyrics comprised purely from bad review quotes. This is going to be the spiritual sequel to Rachel Ziegler's Snow White disaster.

  • So bad they're paying people to watch

    Jump

  • I don't see a stipulation against sitting there but constantly writhing in agony and screaming "oh God! Please just end it already!"

  • The people of Los Angeles have had enough of the fascist paramilitary invaders (California - 1/30/26)

    Jump

  • Others probably mocked his skill progression choices, especially when he went raiding and his DPS sucked. But I bet he felt like those were points well spent during this incident.

  • Trump officials have met with Canadian separatist group that wants to break off from rest of country, report says

    Jump

  • I know hypocrisy is a big part of international relations. But can you imagine the aneurysm this administration would have if they found out that the Canadian government had been having covert discussions with fringe separatist groups in, say, Washington State? It would be tarrifs and tantrums up the wazoo. Hell, there would probably be troop build-ups along parts of the border and all sorts of crazy threats/actions.

    But the other way around? Nah. It's all about the land-grab and American exceptionalism. "Rules for thee but not for me."

    The UK paid £4.1 million for a bookmarks site

    Jump

  • I would bring this up with my colleagues (we have a dedicated AI chat), since it's a good article and brings up good points. But any AI criticism in that chat is met by condescension and dismissal. Too many people in there are just glazing on everything AI all the time.

  • Tesla profits slumped 46% last year, as it lost its crown as the top EV seller

    Jump

  • Wow. We did Nazi that coming.

  • People fight back against the leopards who ate their faces, let's help them

    Jump

  • I know it can be entertaining (in a schadenfreude type way at least in my case) to read about people who got screwed over after voting so eagerly for Trump and his cohorts. But this seems like a really powerful, helpful, and positive website.

    And I applaud these people for publicly acknowledging their mistake. It wasn't easy, but it's a brave thing they are doing. We all make mistakes (some bigger than others of course). But the important thing is to learn from them.

    It's through these people that others can hopefully learn and find a path out. Even if it's just a couple of dozen people, that's something.

  • The Supreme Court will soon decide if only Republicans are allowed to gerrymander

    Jump

  • Counter-spoiler... It'll be a 6-3 decision.
