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
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
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
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
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 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.
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
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.’
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."
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
the police responded with unhinged violence because they felt disrespected.
this is what happens when you give a group of people the unchallenged right to do violence and pay them mid six figure salaries for doing so.
this owns, the Russian rep sneaks up like a stupid asshole and then gets the shit smacked out of him. all international conflicts should be handled like this instead of the way with all the bombs and dead people
So my beloved cat / stupid asshole Saddam Hussein had to be rushed to the hospital Monday. His bladder was swollen and he was having trouble peeing.
Urinary issues are very serious in male cats. A delay of a few hours can be the difference between life and death. So off I went.
Chris Avell, the pastor of Dad's Place in Bryan, Ohio, was arraigned in court on January 11 for charges related to building code violations after he kept his church open to provide warmth and shelter for unhoused individuals. He pleaded not guilty to the alleged violations.…
We extend our thoughts & prayers to the family & friends of Police Officer Thomas Bomba of the Montgomery County Police Department in Maryland. Thomas made the ultimate sacrifice today when he was shot & killed in the line of duty confronting a disorderly person.

Alan's body language here is a perfect example of the "cargo cult of masculinity". He is large, bearded, wearing armor and a gun and a knife. He believes those things confer authority and power to him.
When I ignored his commands, he had no idea what to do.
So OceanGate's lawyer was just blaming the U.S. government for delaying the "rescue" to try and deflect blame for the fact that their death sub killed three billionaires a teenager and their founder.
i had never heard of this person until a few days ago but apparently she was one of the biggest performers of a generation. feels like somebody slipped into the timestream and stuck her in. truly disorienting. i am now a boomer.
I don't have skin in this game but like. Why did y'all find this funny? Was she like a clown or something? There is nothing appealing about this face she's making or the voice she did. Were y'all okay?
if you can't have basic empathy for tornado victims, regardless of who their governor is, you will not be helpful in any of the things we need to do to pull out of civilizational tailspin
this is from an interview with an anonymous Apple Executive commenting on the strike and, like
these people are the human equivalent of ticks. living off the lifeblood of creatures they harm and poison by the act of feeding.
Apple Exec: we can’t let u.s. writers win because that sets the bar for writers in other territories
Me: oh bitch you just gave me motivation to keep this shit up for as long as it takes

the Lewiston mass shooter was obsessed with conspiracy theories about trans mass shooters, he fantasized about running down protesters with his car, and seems to have been a COVID truther too.
Also a big fan of Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson etc
the cool thing about our society is a thousand doctors can study for decades but one pop singer has just as much influence if she decides her cousin's swollen balls were caused by by vaccine
