On a daily basis, I step over people who are sleeping on the sidewalk

This Fireflies song is really bad. It's like TJ Miller singing in a Suzanne Vega voice over Casios and, for some reason, strings. I believe this was developed to torture war prisoners

People on X were clowning on Owl City's "Fireflies" and I was like, "why so hateful, it's just a song, it can't be that bad." And then I heard it and was like, "Oh, that fucking song. Yeah, that shit sucks. I just never knew the name."

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

The world hates Tilly Norwood, a cartoon woman who walks the real world, but loves Supergirl, a real woman who walks around inside of a giant biege cartoon

Hell yeah, sounds dope.

Battlestar Galactica is a show where a person patched a hole in her spaceship, which was in space, by stuffing her balled-up jacket in it; I am a fan, but it is not hard SF

I am once again relieved that the writer of a book I did not want to read, even though many people were telling me I had to read it, has been canceled. This usually happens if I wait for long enough.

probably more people will be blocking attie than ICE by the end of the day tomorrow.

Huh. Begs the question of who exactly is answering them then

into every generation is born, a righteous chicken, and a chicken of evil

Black Punk Now was given to me by a friend from Portland. It’s an anthology of comics, scripts, fiction & non-fiction short stories focusing on the Black punk experience framed by roundtable discussions with Black femme festival organizers & thinkers. Couple resonant excerpts from one comic.

Even with a multi-million dollar #TwinPeaks production, David Lynch still approached filmmaking as if he were a no budget college student.

Gavin Newsom looks like the villainous politician in an eighties sci-fi

What the fuck

This is a desperately important time for our country and our democracy. That’s why as governor of your state, I’m signing the Swing Your Partner Bill to bring back square dancing and make it compulsory in public schools.

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

If we had implemented a universal basic income 50 years ago that grew as our GDP grew, I firmly believe Trump would have never had a career in politics.

The Shy Girl writer claims that the AI stuff was put there by a friend she asked to edit it. Folks: I believe her, lol.

lowkey love her being like EYE have a passport bc I'm rich but what about the rest of y'all broke asses? I still know an unconstitutional poll tax when I see one!

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Did I have a stroke or is this real

I'm really fascinated by this sort of pseudo-journalism corporate America now churns out that pretends to be useful and informative, but generally exists as a sort of simulacrum, comically avoiding central parts of stories that might threaten billionaire or corporate power

this is my district, i voted today, the Democrat was outspent literally and this is not an exaggeration 10x to 15x by the Republicans who were running TV ads every 15 minutes of the county sheriff saying the D candidate was a literal criminal while the D campaign couldn't even afford yard signs

"What kind of TSA PreCheck Member are you"

I think what the Ellisons want, or at least what the elder Ellison wants, is to capture viewers from a wide array of political persuasion, and use their proprietary AI to build dossiers on all of them lol ...lol

once again: this is not what she wants this may serve the broader political project of the ellisons but it is also not what they want (they want to set the agenda like the murdochs) but bari, particularly? she wants to be seen as a news savant and now she’s a laughingstock she hates it

The Only Fans owner died?! Lmao! That’s what he gets for stealing my friends money off that app and for donating the most amount of money to AIPAC! Prayers down you fake ass pimp

Gonna drop the gimmick for a second and explain, as a therapist. What you're describing is a phenomenon called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. It's a subconscious habit that develops in which a person seeks dopamine-releasing behavior at night to exact "revenge" on the day which deprived them

Fuck yeah.

I've spent 27 years not giving a fuck about Harry Potter and I'll be damned if I start caring now

trans women have been trying for years to explain that the anti-abortion and anti-trans movements are ultimately the same movement and these bastards just come out and say it

In my opinion it is bad that seemingly every 55-year-old sexually frustrated man discovered you can get steroids in the mail from the internet at roughly the same exact time and I also think maybe people aren't talking about the societal impacts of that enough.

No writer in their right mind is gonna use AI to write a story. Because AI is a lame, derivative writer. If you're waiting for the punchline, there isn't one. It writes weak sauce. Trust me, if it wrote well, everyone would use it. They'd lie about it, but they would use it.

And if you think this is just some BS meme image, you can listen to the man himself: www.npr.org/transcripts/...

McDonald’s Klaus Nomi lecture made me realize that one of Nomi’s afterlives is in X-Men villain MISTER SINISTER

The games industry and the YA comics industry are booming they say, making money hand over fist, and yet, all the workers in both these fields are constantly pushed to their limits, underpaid, and then laid off. These industries are booming only for those at the top. Capitalism is a pyramid scheme

Breaking: Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora

Vibe coders

Why would a MAGA neighbor dislike Reacher? It’s a mystery

i cannot

That’s where this is headed

Bruh, you border Canada.

It's fascinating to witness an online community so far up its own ass vis a vis "correct speech" that they have to make a separate Reddit community page to go there and openly talk all the shit they've disempowered themselves from saying On Main, lol.
