It is absolutely fucking batshit insane that we’ve allowed TikTok to operate so long. It is without exaggeration an openly-operating propaganda arm of the CCP. This is just so freakin’ absurd.
WTF
Not Too
The liberals and progressives have become total nutballs about this, to a level I just cannot understand. They moved so fast from #MeToo to “If you can’t stand some sexual assault, being set on fire, or your kids being abused, you’re a MAGA loser!” I mean, what the fuck.
Engage
North Korean M1989 "Koksan" already on the frontline. It still amazes me how much the US, Europe and South Korea don't give a shit about North Korea fully entering the war in Europe. https://t.co/pMefI2kdIx pic.twitter.com/dkh3zCFbOQ

It amazes me too. That should have been the “Time to quit fucking around” moment and it just was not. NATO should’ve full engaged then and evicted North Korea and Russia from Ukraine.
And we did nothing. Nothing at all.
No Im
In honor of Trudeau's resignation, I thought I'd post a graph showing complete failure on one of Canada's biggest issues. pic.twitter.com/yfhsilOap0

This and the related declining standard of living in Canada is 95% of the reason we decided against immigrating there. No reason to climb into a sinking ship.
Knock Knock
Drones in combat are simply terrifying. And the Ukrainian drone pilots are next level.
What’s the Dyl?
Try as I might, I never have and still do not see what’s so special about Bob Dylan. His appeal is completely lost on me, both musically and as a celebrity apart from that.
I feel like Dylan about some people do about Taylor Swift, I guess.
Ad Fall
Windows 11 is promoting Xbox PC Game Pass with a pop-up ad.
Ads in a paid OS. That we allow this is amazing. How far we’ve fallen — but we’ll descend into hell further still soon enough.
Old as ’62
93rd Brigade of Ukraine repels Russian AFV column attack on the Bakhmut front.
This attack is very notable because in addition to the BMPs and other equipment, the destruction of 5 Russian T-62 tanks that took part in this attack was already visually confirmed (by… https://t.co/xvStDGe0CN pic.twitter.com/IWjYfdgjnj

Huh. Those T-62s are old. Shows the Russians really are near to running out of anything useful. Those tanks were last produced by Russia in 1975 — 50 years ago now.
Treasure Trove
We’re already at war with China — it’s just that they are the only ones actually fighting or who even realize it.
Nice to Meth You
Just a man having a productive day.
Meth is a hell of a drug; it makes you feel extremely productive but also causes you to be absurdly incompetent1.
Bland
pic.twitter.com/GqhrK8YhbR I am shocked. I saw this AI video and tried to find out who the performer of this great song is. Lyrics on Google, nothing found. At some point in the comments: 100% Suno generated.
Suno has become so good that it is indistinguishable from real music.— Chubby♨️ (@kimmonismus) December 30, 2024
Ha, what? This creation has the same insipid characteristics that every other AI song I’ve heard possesses. Dynamically, it’s extremely static and generic. The rhyme scheme is predictable and is basically just a simplified ballad one.
The music is a standard ol’ four bar in 4/4 time. It all sounds so extremely AI-gen to me.
Siege
Bird flu might be coming. So won't somebody please think of… the gain-of-function researchers?!
I'm baffled by how often big newspapers advocate for actively bad stuff, even when it won't get many clicks. It takes hard work to be so consistently wrong; how/why do they do it? pic.twitter.com/zfyPOkzCwI

Especiallly since it was those poor, besiegned GoF researchers who almost certainly caused Covid. Insanity.
Count Me Out
If you are looking for something merely countably infinite in something uncountably infinite, then you will never find it — and the reason is that the uncountably infinite is so incomprehensibly vastly larger than the merely countably infinite that your search time would also be infinite.
And that’s pretty trippy.
Mame Me
Loss of trust in wife after scam.
If I had a partner so stupid I’d leave her. I’m lucky, though; mine would never fall for something so cockamamie as this.
Which is one of the many, many reasons I am with her.
Hinged
Twitter is full of Nazis and MAGAs while Bluesky mostly consists of liberals saying absolutely unhinged shit like, “The unhoused should get a free rape or two, or an immolation (their preference) so as to right past wrongs and achieve equity.”
What the fuck has happened to people? The world has gone so nutty. Social media and information overload is I think just inherently unhealthy for most.
