A huge thing to the credit of Ted Turner: he was widely criticized for his dumb and stupid classic movie colorization scheme and instead of doubling down and crashing out over the negative publicity, he listened to the criticism and launched Turner Classic Movies.

21st Century Warfare is fully gamified, trains drone racing skills on GTA Mods and comes with tactical Labubus. I feel old.

Someone said these were the inverse of each other and I can’t stop thinking about it

Let May Day be a reminder of the courage of workers across the world demanding peace, fair wages, and better working conditions. History demands more than standing with workers in spirit. We must fight alongside them in Congress every day.

May Day is one day. Solidarity is every day. After today's action, the work doesn’t stop. When workers strike, ask for support. Show up, don’t cross picket lines, and make it real by backing labor actions in your daily choices.

Happy "Hitler Killed Himself in a Bunker Day" to those who celebrate.

FDR’s Fireside chat on March 9, 1937 explaining his proposal to expand the Supreme Court stands up surprisingly well. “We have reached the point as a nation where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court and the Court from itself.”/1

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

it won’t be hard to discern to people in the future that the first black president led to a relentless and hyper-radical effort by conservative elites to destroy not only the voting rights act but reconstruction itself.

You ever think about how the Mafia boss in The Rocketeer has higher ethical standards than everyone who attended the WHCD

Exclusive: OpenAI recently missed its own targets for new users and revenue, stumbles that have raised concern among some company leaders about whether it will be able to support its spending on data centers.

constantly getting e-mails from brands asking me to "collaborate" and i can't help but think do y'all know what they did to those people after WWII in france

The Iranian schoolgirl, the cancer patient whose clinical trial was cancelled, the African AIDS patient who can't get treatment anymore — none of these are "real" to our media elites. Can't imagine themselves in that situation or visualize it. But "panic at the fancy gala!" on the other hand,

For the “tone down the rhetoric” crowd, Trump literally posted Obama’s address and the next day a 1/6 guy armed to the teeth showed up casing the residence.

Here's the initial block list of those who attended the WHCD tonight. Adding names as it becomes clear they were there.

Ultimately, in much the same way that Democrats who want us to believe they think Trump is dangerous shouldn't confirm his appointees, journalists who claim he's a threat to norms (or worse... their jobs) shouldn't attend his parties.

In any case, I think "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel" was the perfect starting pistol shot for cyberpunk.

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Wife: The way you know AI is a scam is that the same party and people who have been waging war on public school funding for 50 years are now pushing to spend tax money to get AI into public schools and saying they're doing it to "level the playing field" or so "kids don't get left behind"

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Sánchez: “Shame on those who remain silent in the face of injustice. Shame on those who exploit workers, who criminalise those who are different, who turn rights into commodities, who defend elite privilege, who support war and violence in Gaza, the West Bank, Ukraine, Lebanon, and the Middle East.”

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants. “And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

@mayor.nyc.gov: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."
