The push for journalists to become brands is making a bunch of former journalists delusional narcissists.

a little annoyed that 3d printer bfs [gender neutral] all over the country have been validated by the whistles. it's as if the revolution had suddenly needed all the weird cables they're holding onto. you know what i mean.

That feeling when you, a terrorism and extremism scholar, see documentary evidence that shows moot met with Jeffery Epstein on the same day /pol was launched:

Highguard sure is a game that exists. Game wise being 3v3 is baffling. If it drop at like 20 v 20 it might have been a neat fun for a weekend hit that goes away, but right now there’s just nothing there.

This is the dirty secret of the Dems - they know the cops are completely out of their control and they try to stop the cops from threatening their lives by shoveling money at them and letting them do whatever they want.

The first principle of a lot of the American upper class is impunity for their own, and #MeToo violated that.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

I have the next few days off, it’s my birthday, and we have a film festival up in Santa Fe. Let’s see what’a available. . . lol nope

Elder scrolls 6 now has a bar to meet with its argonian action

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

I understand the benefit of CGI blood but I truly feel like nothing can capture the beautiful art of a squib exploding into a geyser of blood that looks painful

A fun thing about Soulsborne games is that a lot of people take them incredibly seriously but my favorite ones are the one where you’re a crab and the other one where you are Pinocchio

*deep breath* Young people’s ignorance of how homophobic American society was 30 years ago is a welcome sign of progress. Young people’s ignorance of how homophobic American society was 30 years ago is a welcome sign of progress. Young people’s ignorance of how homophobic American society was 30 y

Sexy Manitou Springs Coffin Races

Just realized we get to watch all the marble statue pfps defend whatever tacky nonsense Trump builds on top of the white house's corpse.

Frankenstein was fantastic. It’s wonderful to just see a movie that likes being a movie, just all around beautiful which is a feat for a film so grotesque, which is what Del Toro is best at.

pretty worrying how predictive Peacemaker turned out to be.

this also drives me insane, this idea that it is the most normal thing in the world for a young (white) man to have a nazi curious phase. it isn’t!

Man I wish Jared Leto could only exist for 29 minutes in real life too.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

you don’t need to run candidates who have bad culture war positions. you maybe do need to run candidates who code as moderate independent of their culture war positions.

They can look up if you're a Democrat based on what humiliation fetish subgroup you're tagged with by advertising data brokers this is not that deep. They know.

Dan Gilroy wins the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for Andor! #Emmys #StarWars #Andor

this is going to get very stupid in the era of the internet

there is no rainbow umbrella and never was. there's a coalition of sexy twenty-somethings who are queer and photogenic, and that's it

Elder Scrolls 6 would sell a million billion copies if it let players have gay sex with an argonian

So glad I don’t argue with Critical Role fans anymore, because there are about to be thousands of people who are wrong about what a West Marches campaign is.

between crypto and RFK I worry that crank voters are becoming a significant portion of the political system independent of trump in ways that are going to have some brutal consequences

I was trying to do some research in prep for Nolan's Odyssey next year, but this profile of Ulysses was just 700 pages about the sublime agony of being, the inherent fallibility of perception, and the tyranny of the British. Also my epub seems to be corrupted, a lot of punctuation is missing.

VICE's owner Savage Ventures has requested the removal of my Collective Shout articles. This is due to concerns about the controversial subject matter—not journalistic complaints Effective immediately, I will no longer contribute to Waypoint. I suggest letting VICE's owner know if this upsets you

Yeah ok, Superman was fun as shit

Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics. Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

Anyway, if centrists want to win elections, maybe they should not disrespect the electorate by putting up losers who already had to resign from a higher office?

I also think it's okay if politicians get a little political.

“Hey that thing you said about unpopular online trans woman was clearly made up by internet weirdos with weird personal grievances.” “Oh yeah what about there 13 other things also made up by internet weirdos with weird personal grievances?”

“there are a few bad actors in LA” oh girl there’s more than a few

game conferences

Saying everything is a distraction sure sounds like an easy way of abdicating responsibility to do something while pretending you're doing something

There is no master plan. It’s just cope to avoid the fact we get dunked on by the dumbfuck brigade with astounding regularity.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

As someone who thrives on tales of corporate hubris the star wars hotel is a holy institution. An incredible embarrassing mess that achieved nothing and burned money

So we doing communion with a shot of malort and a tavern slice now?

I think there's some elision between "every Democrat should face an honest and competitive primary" and "every Democrat needs to be replaced." They don't need to lose. They just need to actually show some fire and stop resting on long-withered laurels.

Completely forgot that I drew this. LOL.

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

If you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch
