meaningful discussion requires a shared framework for communication, otherwise you're wasting your time, like explaining long division to a rabbit

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

If any of my wedding photos had my wife looking like she was an American POW at the Hanoi Hilton blinking SOS I would seriously reconsider my life.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

What she means is that the platform he ran on had the implicit message that they would only go after non white immigrants, and now they also go after white ones. That’s the difference. That’s why they’re mad. Fuck em.

When I die I hope my wife can move on and find happiness, but lol, come on, he’s dead for like 3 months, at least pretend to grieve for a little while.

It's your birthday, Duane.

Incredible words from real boxer Anthony Joshua after he knocked Jake Paul the fuck out lol

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

Which just goes to show how dumb it is to classify peaceful protests as “terrorism”. Also takes resources away from combatting actual terrorism. Which is of course partially the point.

That old stick about the Roman Empire, and how the actual sign of the collapse was a bridge falling down and nobody coming to fix it.

Regret to report that there has been another good linkedin post

The move to simultaneously ban children from interacting with each other online and encourage them to replace their every opportunity for thought with a machine-interaction really ought to be the plot of a novel. Sadly, we have to live it instead.

reminder that in nature, only predators are opposed to others herding

Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬 He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!

in case anyone was wondering wtf happened to @thelouvreof.bsky.social/Louvre of Bluesky: the creator got doxxed, bsky did nothing, and they decided to go out in a blaze of glory

We’re not living in a meritocracy. And the billionaire tech bros are the biggest beneficiary of this state of affairs.

I can’t see people blame Muslims for trumps election like fuck you so hard you fucking scumbags

"please someone get AI to do this" is the most pathetic fuckin sentence i have ever read. take a good look at how far the AI revolution has taken us. from "could someone please record this ten second bit and lay it over existing moon landing footage" all the way to "please SOMEONE get AI to do this"

Especially grim because this is a Labour government doing it, and there is no meaningful opposition. We have been deep in National Front Trumpy territory for many years now, no help is coming for a long, long time and what comes next will be much worse and uglier than this is.

insane local news just dropped. i've lived in a part of KC for ~decade and it's been an inside joke with friends and service workers that the local biz/party district is ran by a cartel of biz owners who bully out new ventures and replace them with generic dive bars for white suburbanites. Well UH

It’s not often you see evil people just openly admit to be being plain evil, but I guess they feel emboldened at this point.

Why would they? They know they’ve won. They know that they will be in power of the judiciary branch for at least the next couple of decades. They have the power and the will to use it to its full extent.

incredible work in the Manhattan Institute poll where to be an "anti-Jewish Republican" you have to be *both* a Holocaust denier and anti-Israeli. One isn't enough.

Goddamn, the results of this poll are bleak manhattan.institute/article/the-...

The top-10 carmakers by market cap make up 75% of global passenger car sales. Tesla makes up less than 2%. The Tesla bubble will be widely documented in history books.

I wrote this about the UK government appeasing the far right in February. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Anti-choice judicial nominee Susan Courtwright Rodriguez passes her cloture vote 63-34. At least 10 members of the Dem caucus voted yea. Her confirmation vote is tomorrow, but cloture votes seldom flip. Waiting on the roll call to update to know which Dems voted yea.

Whatever else he is, Trump is without doubt the most embarrassing president the United States ever had.

This very mild rebuke got me blocked by an actual British MP @paulabarkermp.bsky.social I think that’s already the third one, biggest crybabies on the platform.

Do you have a favorite quote? This pedestrian quote holds a special place in my heart #urbanism

calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

That demon would gladly strangle a child with his bare hands if he thought it would gain him just a little bit more wealth or power.

Hammering the point home that since Power was revealed to be an avowed esoteric hitlerist that thought Black people were aliens, then going on at least three niche outlets of overt neo-Nazis, her prominence in mainstream British media has not notably waned. It is a big fun game for them, as well

* You know how Van Halen had a contract rider demanding bowls of M&Ms with the brown ones removed? They later claimed that was all a test to make sure venues were reading their contracts. Clever! BUT WAIT, that claim itself is actually false. I fact-checked it. Snack Stack exclusive:

the last 24 hours on X, summed up:

It's a censorship engine designed to promote ideas that Elon Musk likes and suppress ideas that Elon Musk does not like. I really don't get why this evident fact - that Musk openly admits! - is so hard for so many people to understand

Me, a sane person: Surely you fascists can't blame *everything* on illegal immigration! Fascist, cracking knuckles: Watch.
