Bari Weiss is perfect for her job because she is very much there to gut and neuter real journalism but she's also such a blinkered narcissist she genuinely thinks she has a vision for how to save journalism and everyone who pushes back is a hater

Happy Friday. Don't forget about the Epstein files.

90s - Terminator 2/The Matrix/Independence Day/Total Recall/The Game 00s - Sin City/Unbreakable/Rugrats in Paris/Dark Knight Trilogy/Joint Security Area 10s - Parasite/Rango/Django Unchained/Life of Pi/Planet of the Apes Trilogy 20s - Haven't seen a lot. I'll work on that.

I love this site, warts and all. Don't care even if NazElon's site it bigger (I doubt it is), I'm staying right here. I don't use any other social media and never will. Except Reddit occasionally, but that's it.

Amazon sets the routes, the quotas, the uniforms, the cameras — and then tells workers they don't actually work for Amazon. Every delivery worker in this city should be able to afford to live here and have their rights respected. Workers deserve better.

New chapter's up, this one's got more fun stupidity with Zim as you'd expect, plus setting up a new, action-packed plotline. Enjoy. #Nickelodeon #Nicktoons #HeyArnold #DannyPhantom #RocketPower #ChalkZone #TheLoudHouse #InvaderZim

Trump posted this AI slop. He is not well.

Ironic that in fiction, Asimov's First Law of Robotics states that robots cannot harm human being, while in real life, robots exist pretty much exclusively to harm humans

The SAVE America Act, a far-reaching Republican election overhaul that President Trump said should be his congressional allies' top priority, has failed in the Senate. n.pr/4xbaBfl

Let's take a moment to reflect ... 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿

Palantir has been a KEY part of ICE’s data operations, assisting in the targeting of communities across the country, and even in managing the cases of ICE targets.

BREAKING: the Massachusetts House just passed one of the best data privacy bills in the country. It includes a total ban on the sale of precise location data and includes a private right of action allowing people to sue Big Tech over data abuses. HUGE WIN! But there’s more work to do 🧵

Somebody called me out for not supporting animators when I cheer on Paramount's losses, so I told them I'd donate $20 to the creative of their choice, which I swiftly did below to prove my stance. Blocked me anyway after I proved it. Some people are sore losers in arguments.

1/ The U.S. is not “building a surveillance state” through one big law. It is installing it system by system, agency by agency, city by city. The shift is from “watch a suspect” to “monitor a place,” then identify people later. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

“The foundation of ’60 Minutes’ is its journalistic independence,” writes Nick Bilton, who was named executive producer and Bari Weiss’ stooge. “And I’m a termite,” he should have added.

People complaining about this be like...

Coulsn't have happened to a nicer company. #BlockTheMerger

what, you mean the government usually has a reason for doing things and a bunch of dipshit crypto bros looking at a spreadsheet and going "lol that sounds stupid" is not a viable way to run the country?

Since when did theaters start turning into Funko with cheap, shitty collectibles?

Rewrite great speeches for Trump: "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what your country can do for me."

HEAVY METAL (1981)

At least 97 January 6th insurrectionists have been charged with or convicted of crimes after being pardoned by Trump.

Nepo-baby, heroin-addicted, proud coke-snorting, worm-brained, roadkill-eating, raw sewage-swimming, unelected, womanizing felcher, non-medical personnel RFK Jr. wants access to the private medical records of autistic Americans, thus violating HIPAA, a federal law. #ProudBlue #Autism #RFKJr

“We’ll fix it on Day 1.” Day 500: still blaming Joe Biden.

Just a reminder: Be proud of the things you make. You made that! No one else did. YOU did. And it ain't easy to make stuff. It takes real determination and skill. So take pride in it! And if other people tear it down, screw them. They couldn't make something like that. Because it came for YOUR head.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran has descended our world and our global economy into chaos. Yesterday, the House finally met the threshold to pass a War Powers Resolution. The Senate must work quickly to advance this resolution and end this war.

Constraints are horrible soulless things that somehow ironically turn out to be what produces art

Shoutout to every single BLUE dot 🔵 in deep RED states 🟥. Your vote carries outsized power — and it’s making a real difference. Thank you for fighting where it matters most. You’re true heroes. We see you. We appreciate you. Keep showing up! 💙 #VoteBlue

Trump is going to die of natural causes before he is held accountable. That will be a travesty.

that is... not a good reason for not naming them!

The most favorite guy since 1998🖤🖤🖤🖤

One of my favorite examples: When Batman: The Animated Series was airing on Fox Kids, Kids WB, and Cartoon Network, it was rated TV-Y7. On HBO Max? B:TAS is rated TV-PG. Same episodes, same content, significantly higher rating. So yeah, TV ratings mean jack shit lol.

The AI industry has reportedly spent $1.4 TRILLION while generating just $613 BILLION in revenue, meaning it is still not profitable. According to isaiprofitable.com, Nvidia is the only major AI company currently operating at a profit.

BREAKING: The House just passed a war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s ability to wage war on Iran. After numerous attempts, the legislation passed for the first time, with four Republicans joining every Democrat in support.

Keith David will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame tomorrow, on his birthday. ⭐️

I found this neat tool that lets you generate text and images just from your ideas. It's really good!

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?" My Nicktoons crossover series was on a recommendation list on TVTropes under "Mega Crossovers", but the page was deleted (wish somebody would put me back somewhere). So, here's a Tool reference I found in a video game that some Tool fanpages shared.

my 2028 candidate is whoever promises to take the construction equipment that lay waste to the east wing of the white house and drive it directly to the supreme court of the united states

Scott Pelley is leaving, but not before he drops a big stack of receipts on what happened at 60 minutes. It's worse than you could have imagined, and bless this man for fighting as hard as he could and then tearing down the blackout curtains so we could see what's happening inside.

@netflix.com should take all these fantastic and fearless journalists and create a news arm. With CNN up next for the integrity dissection, Netflix could create a world class, worldwide news stream with global reach on their global platform. If you agree, share this. If you don't, that's cool too.

The Ellison demolition of CBS continues with the firing Scott Pelley. (Bilton and Weiss are Ellison emissaries). Channel your anger: Help #BlockTheMerger of Paramount-WB and further assaults on journalism and dangerous media consolidation. 👇

History will be very kind to Pelley. Not so much to CBS News.

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.
