I always thought that SCTV came up with hoser as a TV-friendly version of 'hosebag', which was a pretty popular epithet in the 1970s, along with the more familiar douchebag. Yes, nobody I knew actually used hoser until SCTV invented it.
In what in retrospect seems to have been a characteristically savvy bit of ambiguity, Trump never specified who would do the unconditional surrendering in his Iran war.
I will say something about my current class of 3rd graders: They get REALLY into a story. I read the same series of books to my kids every year. And this group not only pays attention but asks questions, makes their own predictions, get excited when they connect dots. Itβs reassuring to me.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
I have a secret to tell Marc: The reason for being a moral, decent, good person is not so that people like you and stop criticizing you. In fact, you're right, they won't. You do it anyway.
Jacob Collier is a British multi-album Grammy award winner.
He is known for his "audience choir' interactions, skillfully leading thousands of audience members in improvised, multi-part singing. This performance on Oct 27 2025, was his first attempt at the "audience orchestra" concept.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but South Koreans took 6 hours to stop their insurrection, 10 days to impeach the president behind it, and just 6 weeks to convict him. He was sentenced to life in prison 2 weeks ago. Their country's stock market shot up 10%.

This seems bad.
This is actually a pretty good summary of where weβre at, and how we got here.
He's never going to give up on trying to be the number one toady to the global bully. He himself is a bully, and that's how they think.
RIP Terry Watkinson of Max Webster. First group I ever saw. They blew my mind. An incredible talent. Go to the angels.

Finding myself buying records and CDs instead of streaming music, watching 4Ks and Blus instead of streaming, trying to disconnect from my phone. Itβs not for everyone; it can be an expensive habit. But it makes the media I enjoy feel more substantial. Less choice. More investment.

i hate war. i cry tears for the innocent dead. there's no need for any of what's happening. there's no proper consequences nor accountability. the citizens of neither the aggressors nor the victim states want this. the false narratives of "strong men" and preemptive strikes for peace are so hollow.
You frickinβ think so?
I feel like this applies to almost everything that is just so stupid right now: We're really going to go down this road because people who already have an obscene amount of money want even more.
They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.
I never ever imagined Iβd agree w/anything Marjorie Taylor Greene said
Itβs as if I have been teleported to a strange alternative universe
