F1 reddit is so equal parts livid and despondent after quali. All I can say to these people is that we clearly watch this sport for very different reasons.

οΏΌ the healthiest thing you could do in the social media era is acknowledge that not everything is an argument to be rebutted, say no and keep that shit moving

This is a bizarre inversion of the β€œno wishing for more wishes” rule.

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

i worry that a 5-year stretch of nothing but ads for NFTs, bitcoin, and AI is a long enough gap that this nation's once-great advertising industry will forget how to sell a product people actually want

It's #superbowl Sunday! Whether you're rooting for the #patriots or the #seahawks, we're all about to be swamped with ads for #ai. so I thought it might be helpful to point out that a #chatbot really can't produce anything worth a damn.

This was the most β€œexactly what I was expecting it to be” movie I’ve ever seen. In a good way!

I hope Democratic senators and congressmen understand, out of pure lizard-brain self-interest if moral decency happens to be unavailable, what is at stake for them if they don't handle this the right way. This is a true "If not now, when?" moment.

If I were Denmark I would simply agree to sell Greenland to Trump, take his money, then put up a sign that says:

"Greenland ➑️".

And have it point to a tunnel which I have cleverly painted onto a wall.

β€œJinglehorse” is such a great racial slur for a reindeer.

Growing up in a time when β€œselling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I’d never noticed the Day in the Life ending on that track.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not
