The social media pivot from chronological timelines to popular-first was done at least partly to throttle real time organizing

without lionizing Leo XIV too much, i think people are brought up short by encountering someone in a position of authority who seems to have commitments to stable concepts of right and wrong that supersede class loyalty to other powerful people (which is largely the same as what Dan is saying)

Think of starting a business. Will call it Adulting Vacation. Let's say you have to do some paperwork, pay some bills and schedule dr appointments but you have no mental energy left to do it and your executive disfunction is flaring up. 1/?

joke aside, imagine a current fridge lasting 36 years. they dont make them like that anymore. thing deserves a proper funeral

there are many candidates for the epitaph on the end of history's headstone, but right now "we raised our kids to be better people than us; unfortunately, they were" feels pretty apt

I really really would love to see the excommunication decrees rolling

I love this thing and if i had 2 i'd paint one straight astra militarum and one genestealer cult defaced

Even in off-camera footage like this, Sheryl Lee is one of the all time great screamers. Absolutely terrifying across Twin Peaks.

With the right combination of machines (a Super Game Boy, a VCR, a video capture card, and a lot of cables), you can use your Game Boy Camera as a webcam, at a gloriously silky-smooth 3 frames per second.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

what the actual fuck is this opening line omg

thinking again about the greatest scene in cinema history

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

I think the most insulting part of this is that you are expected to get 1 kill, because 0 kills is below expectations of being dog shit. You have to achieve the level of 1 kill to become dog shit.

Dinobot is a tale about outgrowing your nature, about redemption, about becoming better.

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...
