Hollywood is COOKED I made this $50,000,000 movie for free using AI

Don Huffines and family changed the name and address of Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling 10,000 acre ranch in New Mexico after using an LLC to purchase it anonymously. The ranch has reportedly never been searched as part of any criminal investigation related to Epstein (www.krtv.com/us-news/crim...).

I spent Presidents Day defending the Constitution along with lots and lots of others - today it was to protest the planned ICE Concentration Camp in Roxbury. The conversations warmed my heart and the advocacy of the people lifted my spirit.

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Immigration Enforcement Could Impact Food Supply: Immigrants with & without working papers are essential to our food supply. Targeting them with threats of deportation puts our food supply at risk. Crops rot across the country because of the lack of workers, making us more dependent on imports 1/2

This cat. #Hildy

A Chelsea boot, because you can wear it to church, to court or to a protest. (And it’ll look good at all three.)

Listening to some RW asshole (Noah Rothman) saying the Epstein Files are "a witch hunt. It‘s a moral panic" reminded me of that time I clipped Ted Cruz on CSPAN saying we should "stop attacking pedophiles". These people have no bottom.

This feels like something that should've happened years ago.

my husband is proofreading a book on writing & the author suggests using AI if one is feeling blocked. he wants to add a note saying she should really consider the implications of saying this—at the very least that she might be ostracized from the writing community. thoughts?

these assholes have the perspective of a 1985 high school textbook

I think it’s awesome how cabinet secretaries take orders from anon randos on the internet

Oop... ““As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed ... this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims — to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts," Rufe wrote. “It does not.”” 🗃️

Seeing Walton Goggins responding to Robert Duvall's death reminded me that I asked Goggins about The Apostle in a 2008 AV Club Random Roles:

CALVIN BAAAAALLLL!!!

I don’t say this lightly: people should lose their job over this

I appreciate these kinds of report backs about what people are up to. Here's one about last week's Singing Resistance training. open.substack.com/pub/theconne...

Melrose and La Brea is just a river right now.

When the kids were little and I lost my voice, they would act out. When they were young teens, I got tea and sympathy. Now I’m getting a lot of “Pardon?” And “I’m hearing you want me to [insert thing they know irritates me]” And whispering back.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

🙃 😂 🦖 yup

Dad: (gesturing to kitchen table) What is this doing here? Me: What is what--oh (cheerfully) that's The Onion! Dad: What is this. Me: Why, The Onion is the best news in the world, Dad! Dad: Why is this here? Me: Cuz @theonion.com has a print edition! Dad: What is it? Me: A newspaper that survived.

lest we forget to beg the question of whether billionaires employ their own media relations team to saturate the news with self-aggrandizing bullshit labeled "news"

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Will be leaving Bluesky and Instagram (my only social media now) for Lent: Feb 18 - April 5. No, Sundays aren’t traditionally included in Lent. But no, I won’t be posting on Sundays - too easy to get pulled back in.

They really took ten whole ass years to give us season 2 of The Night Manager.

OK Tracer Bullet was good but I assume we're all in agreement that this is the all-time BEST Calvin & Hobbes strip, correct

i dunno 'bout you but i don't see a damn thing in the legacy news that resembles useful information for living our lives every day. bunch of blowhards bloviating bullshit on tv (to watch themselves afterwards) in such a pathetic attempt to put up a facade of relevance, ya know? embarrassing AF.

I podcasted with @queertheology.bsky.social !

$133,333 per person to traffic them out of the US. Imagine how many people that money could've helped. Apparently, they sent $7.5 million to Palau who cashed the check and then refused to accept anyone.

Hmmmm...what's it like when a hundred geese are disturbed from a nearby field? /1

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy. Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

Absolute fucking truth and it also reminded me: if you’re in the Boston area and want to split things from Costco because you don’t have storage space, let us know. We have a membership and I’m happy to do the divvying up/repackaging of meats and the like.

I'm not a fan of how the only people for whom the economy is "booming" are the only people to whom legacy news caters. Cuz of course it's not newsworthy to report on a January electric bill worth more than 1/12 of household income. The economy is booming financial destruction but please, go on...

bleak, Riker, that's bleak...
