I Saw The TV Glow My impression of the ending was not as some have seen it. I think that this film tends to be a mirror for folks, so I don't think there's wrong/right. It's what it needs to be for you. I saw some of myself in non-binary Maddy/Tara. Very different family sitch, tho. Thankfully

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Listen, I’m comforted by forcing the emotions out and just head on taking the sadness in

All of the Star Trek movies but especially this one.

The One With the Whales.

The grand irony of this is, of course, that a whole other group of white people discovered Jewish mysticism and appropriated it with the Kabbalah cult shit 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

It's such a shame that Jews have felt the need to erase our history of being woowoo. Think of all the nice white ladies* who could have been saved from appropriating Asian/Indigenous culture if only they had known their very own culture had plenty of freaky deek shit for them to explore! * Me

I guess everyone wants to vote for nazis black water contractors now.

Being decent in 2025 feels like civil disobedience.

I keep seeing Dems blamed for this guy's candidacy and I just want to point out that less than a week ago the complaint was that Dems weren't backing him. This is a case study in how easy it is to manipulate recent history.

A middle finger to erasure. More of this, please. Now do Black Lives Matter!

If Mamdani is elected mayor of New York he’ll get a meet and greet with Donald Trump. Based on this performance alone, having that encounter happen may be beneficial for society.

New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not www.404media.co/how-to-disab...

It's because white people can always see the humanity in each other and not in the POC Kirk targeted and actively harmed.

I actually do think we should have a litmus test that having ever had Nazi iconography on your body is instantly disqualifying for public office. I'm not saying you cannot possibly atone for that, apologize, make teshuvah, and live a good life, but I don't want to vote for you for public office.

The DC ACLU is suing on behalf of a man who was arrested by a National Guardsman and MPD officers for playing the Imperial March (from Star Wars) as an act of protest. www.acludc.org/app/uploads/...

A reminder to all scientists & data viz people 🧪: It's Spooky Science Time. Adjust your models to use the paranormal distribution 👻from now until November 1st.

If you are arresting someone for playing the Imperial March you are literally a stormtrooper!

Welp. I had been using Spotify exclusively since 2011, but running ads for ICE was the last straw. I have known I need to cancel for a while, but I was dragging my feet. That's it man. Fuck spotify. Just cancelled my subscription.

Remember those times i said we were headed for an epistemic crisis because bad people were gonna use deepfakes to make propaganda & conspiracy theories & destabilize consensus reality-making & how the central paradigm of "generative AI" enables, encourages, & was indeed built on this premise? Yeah.

he's knocking down the literal white house and illegally murdering people by dropping bombs on international boats and the government has been shut down for weeks and it's just like....yep

I could be wrong, but Elon Musk seems like exactly the kind of person who shouldn’t have a strong influence over a robot army.

“The annoying thing—“ hmm. Someone’s going to act like I’m saying this is the only bad thing about this. “An annoying thing—“ still not specific enough for a bad-faith reading. Better not go with an article. People cannot be trusted with articles. “One annoying thing—“ Okay.

*almost inaudibly in the background* organizing towards general strikes while supporting each other with mutual aid...

Turns out “who’s going to stop me?” is a bigger question than ”is it legal?”

No one should EVER monitor Nazi space without a strong support network that can check them regularly and watch for signs that the propaganda is taking hold, and address that reality promptly. Without a rock solid accountability network, it is playing with fire.

People are still talking about elections in 2028 like a) they'll happen and b) actually will impact anything. He already stole the 2024 election to get where he is now 🙃 People who think you can vote your way out of fascist authoritarianism are wild.

It's amazing the degree to which this country is being taken over by nazis. Meanwhile, a solid portion of the left from centrist libs to leftists are defending a fucking totenkopf tattoo. This is bleak as hell.

"Once you elect or appoint someone who has no moral core — who then appoints people with no moral core and fires those who do — nothing else in the system of checks-and-balances turns out to matter."

It's a very easy "No." I don't understand why in the hell Bernie Sanders and some other dems are making excuses for and still supporting Graham Platner. It's a very easy "No."

We are seeing the effects of children who grow up without watching educational content on networks like PBS. No empathy. No common sense. No ability to reason. Reading Rainbow? Wishbone? Schoolhouse Rock? Sesame Street? Magic School Bus??

I mean you’re bang on the money but even without asbestos that’s just not SOP for demolition anymore, you can see from the photos they’ve done zero stripping or salvage

am an expert and yes this is the stupidest demolition i have seen in my life

Not an expert but if the east wing of the White House was built in 1902 and substantially remodelled in the 1940s it's going to be *riddled* with asbestos and you don't go at asbesto-filled concrete in that way.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness (if you feel like)

Inventing a hundred microlabels in order to arrive at the exact same conclusion as the people who say "gay people can get straight married, they're not being discriminated against" or "you don't have to act on your homosexual desires" is a real 360 noscope slip on banana peel team kill moment

Hey remember the Geo, y'all? Remember what a weird blip of a product line that was??? No? Then have we got an "AI" paradigm for you! www.wired.com/story/goodby...

I wrote this scenario in 2005 for a short story assignment on dystopian scifi, and my 8th grade english teacher gave me a D because I "didn't understand satire," and I will never ever let it go

I'm asexual, so death by chocolate cake for sure. Or just cake in general

Garlic bread and/or cake, anyone?

Some are defending platner because they know the dem party is failing and haven’t a clue what type of candidates can win other than “not old.” Of course, if parties were more than shells of their former selves, this wouldn’t be a mystery.

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag “Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management. Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless

As devastating as Mamdani’s words here are, Cuomo’s reply is so much worse. “If you want to be in government, then you have to be serious and mature.” He’s suggesting that sexual harassment is just part of working in government, and “mature” women can handle it. Disgusting.

What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our pow’r to accompt?

Yes, boycotts work.

I don't understand this at all. She's 85 YEARS OLD and RICH AF.

“This is all happening because THEY, the perfidious Zionists, are secretly plotting to kill Platner’s campaign.“ Dude shut up and just get the tattoo yourself already.
