This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

Imagine a loved one of yours is gunned down in horrifying fashion, senselessly, by jackbooted thugs pursuing a wantonly criminal agenda, and only 24 hours later the Vice President is slandering her as part of a left-wing conspiracy. Unreal. I’m almost grateful to learn I’m still capable of disgust.

ALA folks, these are ICE cars seen in the area today. Please keep an eye out and keep folks safe. If anyone can assist with alt text for the plates that would be appreciated Info from www.instagram.com/harborareape...

Kinda feel like, if you’re in some sort of position of authority and you have a firearm, it’s both to your benefit and the benefit of anyone around you to not be a panicky dickhead who might shoot people pointlessly. Random musings, apropos of nothing, what news I don’t read the news whaddya mean

Five years. Still miss ya terribly, brother. 💔 #BeBrad

I am absolutely clear on how bad Maduro was. Everyone cautioning us to not support him in our current responses is correct. That said, Trump just made it clear he intends to control another sovereign nation unilaterally. Venezuela didn’t lose a dictator, it traded ‘em. This is unconscionable.

I called my rep. I left a message. You can also do this. www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

You don't have to give a big speech. They're counting numbers - seeing how many constituents care enough to call in. Just tell them to impeach for this illegal war. Also, make sure you only call YOUR reps - they don't care about out-of-district calls. You can do this. It'll just take a minute. 💪

It’s the last moments of 2025. You should spend at least some of it watching this again. I don’t care how many times you’ve already watched it. Once more unto the breach. youtu.be/IfhMILe8C84?...

On the topic of paying your entry fee into SAG: Yes, this is something I recommend for anyone who can swing it. (Totally understandable if you can’t!) This is exactly what I did: I put some early NU earnings aside for several years before I finally NEEDED to join. Left it (mostly) untouched.

I created a Blue Sky starter pack of all the game worker unions across the world. There are a lot of us now! Give them a follow, they're all great! 4/ go.bsky.app/PNcLPFU

I hope that all of you have a joyous holiday season surrounded by your family and loved ones*. *Except for ICE. I hope no one talks to you or gives you a present and that you accidentally shit your pants while everyone tells you to go fuck yourself at the grocery store.

NAVA is excited to announce the launch of LAVA with membership opening in March of 2026. The voice acting industry is global and NAVA is proud to be able to support and advocate for voice actors from all over the world. 👉lavavoices.org @lavavoices #lavavoices #navavoices

In case you were wondering if Bari Weiss really is as bad as everyone says she is…

Make sure you read this phenomenal thread absolutely brimming over with great information about how one is (or isn’t!) required to join SAG-AFTRA. Both because it’s substantive to the Nth degree and also because Ben probably broke his brain getting it all down like this. Give this man a cookie.

Reminder for everyone in the non-union space: the only way to know if the client and/or studio is playing fast and loose with contract consistency amongst talent is to coordinate and organize. Otherwise, you are at the absolute mercy of those who may be incentivized to screw you over.

You guys really need to develop the capacity of simultaneously holding the truth that the colonialist occupation and genocide of Palestine is unacceptable AND violent antisemitism is real Both are true

This move represents a dangerous decision that prioritizes a handful of tech companies over the protection and livelihood of American workers and industries. navavoices.org/2025/12/12/s...

With the new season of Record of Ragnarok, now streaming on Netflix, I can announce that I’m playing both Azazel and Alfred Nobel! (Guess which is which. Go ahead, try. 😂) Many thanks to VSI and @quadbonus.bsky.social for the endless fun from these sessions!

“This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased.” Words to remember, this season, this year, every season and every year.

Read the whole thread. Or…uh…I’ll steal the Statue of Liberty. ….muahahaha? (Just read it.)

Amazon pulled the Banana Fish AI crapola dub after everyone and their great-uncle gave them duly-deserved grief about it. I’m looking forward to their next attempt to sneak it in, without setting off alarm bells. “Oh, no no no no, this isn’t AI. It’s A…uhhh…Y! AY. It stands for…umm…Artificial…Yes?”

Post your favorite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

As someone who loves to watch so-bad-its-good content PLEASE understand you can't give shit like this the time of day The only way to convince these companies to not use AI dubbing is to show it's not profitable, STAY AWAY from hate-watching and instead spend that time watching dubs you love

Bake sale!!! Sam Altman’s gonna break out his famous pecan caramel shortbread. (If he can remember the prompt for the algorithm to invent the recipe.)

My conspiracy theory of the day: SNL just keeps Colin Jost in a dark closet with a blindfold on and wearing headphones blasting death metal so he can’t hear or see the jokes in advance before he’s shoved on-camera.

This affects you - the audience - more than you think. Because there are no residual payments on videogames, many actors rely on convention appearances as a replacement income. Because cons = $, cons have begun expecting talent to make it through YOU (no appearance fee). You’ve been tip-cultured.

Sincere proposal: Let’s take the cliche phrase of “Nobody wants to work anymore” and solely apply it to businesses and executives who lazily run AI where actual-people-work ought to be used.

People defending the chatbot NPC situation in Petit Planet insist that you can't expect a writer to come up with appropriate responses to anything a player might ask I'd argue the NPC chatbot doesn't seem to be able to do this either, contradicting itself and stating generic gibberish.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Proud as hell to be originally from NYC tonight.

If you’re not using the words “tour de force” in reference to Megan Mullally’s performance from tonight’s Last Week Tonight episode, THEN YOU NEED TO START.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Dealing with a new shoulder joint made of plastic and metal is a process, no doubt, and recovery is continual but slow. That said, as an Ace Attorney fan, I also realized recently that you can pass a metal detector over my right shoulder and it goes off, and that gives me major Von Karma giggles.

I miss you, Billy Kametz. I miss your distinctive voice, and infectious enthusiasm, and the way you brought a sense of ease & optimism everywhere you went. I miss when I could pick your voice out in a cast but only got more excited when I did bc I knew you cared. I miss you so much. Fuck cancer.

Define “Perfect Ending”?

Just got home from shoulder replacement surgery, and started the healing process with some pastrami and some Jewish penicillin. Glad to be on the other side of this. Plenty of recovery still to go.

Explain your username: I dunno, they scribbled this on a note and stuck it on me when I was little. It’s entirely their fault. I wanted Muscles McSexy. But the union only allows one per name and I’d have to make up a middle initial; seriously, Muscles Q. McSexy? GTFO.

Graffiti has caught up with the 21st century. 🤣

👹ACTORS!!!👹 It's been over a year since the last one, so get ready to jump into the triumphant return of my workshop: THE ONE THAT BOOKED Grab a spot while you can!!

So. Kenvue. (Owners of Tylenol.) You should sue the administration. …c’monnnnnnn. Do it. It’ll be fun.

Kimmel’s back? Okay. I wanna know if there were conditions he’s being asked to accept. That’s REALLY important context for this development.

BREAKING: Incomprehensible Shouting Named Official U.S. Language

Look, @lastweektonight.com, I love you guys, and far be it for me to speak for the entirety of voiceover, but NO NO NO NO NO DO NOT SEND TED CRUZ TO US WE DO NOT WANT HIM

I like how, in The Prince of Egypt, little baby Moses lays it on REAL thick for the Queen when she uncovers him. “Oh, what a surprise, a royal maternal figure, what’s an eminently adorable and adoptable and rescue-able infant like me to do? Goo goo.”
