This dude is going to HATE to learn who historically ends up at the end of a rope in situations like this.

Resistance libs welcomed South Park into the anti-Trump fold with open arms. Our founder Evan Urquhart was a bit less joyous to see the anti-woke edgelords of South Park recognize, at last, the dreadful pandora's box that widespread anti-wokeness opened up. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I've always found the abandoned corporate artwork that dots Silicon Valley to be extremely interesting as a cultural artifact of the companies that installed it. So I decided to start documenting what's out there. davebeaudoin.com/abandoned-co...

It's only Scromiting if it comes from the greater Scranton area of Pennsylvania, otherwise it's just sparkling vomit.

And that kids is how we named our stoner mincecore band Wallace and Scromit

"If it's in the game (beheading journalists), it's in the game!"

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

This is NOT going to help the discoverability of my ska band, Sex Cardigan.

Great thread on why Birth of a Nation doesn't deserve the type of attention it's given.

Exactly the comment I'd expect from someone who isn't proofreading their content for obvious errors.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Timesplitters

When people don't understand the core message of Fight Club it amazes me. When people don't understand the message of Star Wars I fear for civilization.

This is the exact same sort of thinking behind the old "I'm not racist, I don't see color" chestnut. It's exclusionary language and dismisses the lived experience of the minority group being oppressed.

He rolled Trump like a J.

By the way, Jeff Bezos, you fucking pathetic coward: Zohran Mamdani got the pragmatic things he needed to get as a leader without ever submitting to the likes of MBS and disrespecting the memory of Khashoggi and every journalist in America.

If you listen to Silicon Valley types talk about AI platforms, they’re obsessed with discussing whether it’s “uncensored” or not; what they’re talking about is whether they can make nonconsensual porn, not all of which is from images of people who are adults. Musk is moving Grok that way rapidly.

Breaking: The FCC has voted 2-1 along party lines to eliminate cybersecurity requirements for telecom companies that the commission adopted at the end of the Biden administration. Telecoms had lobbied for the change. Democrats said it would invite another Salt Typhoon. Story coming shortly.

Has anyone done a serious research project on how much of Japan's economy is made up of public works projects stemming from the destruction wrought by Godzilla?

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

So I see AI still can't generate a picture of two normal men shaking hands.

Looking for what you can do to make you voice heard? This campaign is gaining traction. The enablers have to feel it. weaintbuyingit.com

I want. No, I need this Keanu Reeves movie.

I'm increasingly convinced that tech leaders either can't read or lack the part of the brain responsible for reading comprehension.

Based on the episode-ending needle drops I'm confident that The Beast Within is a sequel to My So Called Life.

This reads like Third Eye Blind lyrics.

Robert Altman's Frankenstein (1992)

Elon's incredibly ugly bear statue is up outside of Tesla's California headquarters. Predictably it looks like AI slop made real. Insulting to look at even in an area rife with soulless corporate "art."

Does Tylenol play a role in the relationship spectrum too?

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

we’re doing tobacco ads again in Trump’s America, huh

Any @rilokileyofficial.bsky.social fans out there?

What would your local hero library card look like? Sunnyvale Library should have an Atari card.

The hands of the Jacobin Clock, which counts down the minutes to Eat the Rich Midnight have been moved to 11:59

The Christmas Adventurers take care of their own, okay

“Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.🚨🚨🚨

Good news everybody! Dick Cheney is still dead!

This is probably AI versions of his truth social posts.

Brianna Wu called our writer, the esteemed @alyssaur.bsky.social, "male brained" for engaging in some light online shit-talking. Today on Assigned Media, Aly Gibbs has some more words for Brianna. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Oh man, as a tech policy wonk and rabid leftist, this absolutely rules.

“This is replicable. [Mamdani’s] whole campaign was not just anti fascist, but the antithesis of fascism.” @naomiaklein.bsky.social tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social why she was an early supporter of Mamdani, who just made history as the first-ever Muslim mayor of New York.
