On the flip side, this gives American doctors a new way to explain child birth in terms of hamburgers.

This is completely unhinged, even for 2024.

Ed Zitron found this post about a WIlly-Wonka-Experience-style cheese injection facility in Toronto:

This is what it was like to live in Chasm City during the Melding Plague.

I'd heard of the Basque space program, but the Catalonian moon landing is news to me.

The "splitting" thing is eerie to me. It's like watching people training themselves into a psychiatric disorder.

2024 when I was a kid: "I wonder who the first person on Mars will be?"

2024 we have at home: Synthetic Assholes

tired: checking incoming packets for the evil bit

wired: checking LLM outputs for the truthfulness bit

It's never wrong to gatekeep fascists.

Older article, but relevant in light of current events:

I wonder if we'll see a new edition of the Shinzo Abe Effect.

bitcoin is the new fetch

magnificent!

The word "deranged" is getting a workout lately, ain't it?

“...this particular bad thing shouldn’t happen to someone like me! it must be that no one else tried hard enough to fix it till now...”

Ugh, but also, good point. It's like Engineer's Disease fucked The Secret and made something even worse.

Jesus Christ.

This guy is a classic example of kook magnetism with a side of Dunning-Kreuger.

Job history is sus as hell too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Barsky

Some dweeb with a journalism degree gets a job at a hedge fund right out of grad school, bombs out, "goes back to" journalism. Newspapers can't get enough of this kind of guy; not surprised TERF Island's paper of record picked him up nor am I surprised that they think RFK Jr might be good actually.
