Let's get festive

The very first movie released shows two of the stormtroopers standing around chatting shit like two dudes in an office kitchen. In the seventh film, after it’s revealed they were just kidnapped children who were forced into it, the heroes still brutally slaughter a bunch of them. The fuck is this?

A Cliffs Notes for the Jake Paul situation since I'm seeing people confused. Jake Paul and his brother were 'prank streamers'. Yes exactly. They got famous for doing that and got rich. Jakes fame got to his head and somewhere along the way he started believing he could fight pro boxers.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

I just want to be clear that what Candace Owens is saying about the Talmud is false. There's nothing in the Talmud that says Jews are allowed to kill and lie to people who aren't Jewish. Quite the opposite, in fact.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.

There's an impeachment resolution against this guy in the House but it's not being talked about very much because "This lunatic is trying to kill your children" isn't a compelling enough political message I guess

Yes, Israel bombed a wedding in Gaza today. No, the mainstream media is not interested. During a sham 'ceasefire'.

I have had the most never ending day so the next 3 hours better be fucking good

Please keep contacting your representatives and demand they oppose repealing sec230, and oppose internet censorship/surveillance bills Get friends and family involved, february is when they are going to make a major push

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

These are the people the mainstream media is constantly telling us to understand and sympathize with.

Meta is a fucking scam. Unbefuckinglievable.

Same with movie studios 🥲

They're not waiting on the Supreme Court to tell them they can ignore the clear, plain text of the 14th Amendment that everyone born in the US is a birthright citizenship. They are trying to erase the citizenship of anyone with skin darker than Stephen Miller's through administrative action alone.

probably a good time to quit tiktok if you haven't already bc it is going to warp your mind

"Something that I have found difficult for non-artists to understand is that the ‘early messy stuff’ that non-arty folks insist can be ‘fixed by a human artist later’ is where the best work is done." True of every creative field. You can't start building halfway up; the foundation has to be sound.

In addition to all the amazing work he did for Disney, Eddie Sotto designed the beloved Soap Box Racers at Knott’s. While looking for a photo of him, I stumbled upon his take on perfectionism, and it moved me to see how much he cared about the Guest experience. RIP Mr. Sotto, gone far too soon 💔

I didn’t know Eddie Sotto well. Maybe met one time, but I was always amazed by his incredible work. Such a talent! In recent years we became “email penpals” commiserating over the direction of Disney hotel design. Eddie will be missed. He left the world a better place.

Eddie Sotto seemed like an extraordinarily talented and kind guy. He was always generous with his time in engaging on Twitter and elsewhere and I enjoyed talking about Disneyland Paris with him. Thankful that his work will live on to entertain for generations to come. May his memory be a blessing.

Children are being exploited. Let’s respond by dramatically hindering our ability to point out or criticize children being exploited, using methods we don’t understand because we’re old and incurious.

Words are insufficient for me to summarize the extraordinary life of the brilliant Eddie Sotto, even after a day of writing notices of varying lengths. Although I knew this day was approaching, I still don’t know where to begin. Eddie had been signaling it to me in the most paradoxical, “Eddie” way…

A damning indictment of Ken Martin and Democratic Party leadership. Yes, the autopsy will piss people off (especially those who led the Biden and the Harris campaigns). That's the point. Their failures were catastrophic for the country. Dems also need to show voters they get it and are reforming.

… Enormous Tetsuo-at-the-end-of-Akira guy in hot dog suit emerges from cryo dungeon hidden beneath stadium…

the tea party was really a seminal shift in how the median congressperson behaved in person you stopped needing to be a successful schmoozer and started needing to be a totally unreasonable lunatic to win your primaries, and social media has only accelerated this

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

it's crazy how perfectly aligned rooftop solar is with conservative rugged individualism, harvest your own electrons, stop paying the big government monopoly, etc, but nope

suzanne collins flipped her television back and forth between iraq war coverage and reality tv, which when combined with basic roman history, made her understand post-9/11 culture better than most

-laughs nervously- What the fuck?

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

because democrats are driven by polls. and polling goes against transgender people because americans arent familiar. but it also went against black rights and gay rights but fucking LEADERS did the right thing and fought anyways and now those things are in the majority. FUCKING. LEAD.

"We don't want to be Luddites --" brother, Luddites were opposed to bosses concentrating wealth by using technology to make inferior product with warehouses fulls of starving exploited child labor. You don't have to wear the team jersey but respect the game.

They are losing support on every single front, even in their core base. So Trump tripling down on racism in his speech & this horrific, performative transphobia is their blatant clinging to the hope that culture war shit will propel what’s left of the base who have no $$ and soon no benefits to stay

this really needs to be viewed as at the same level of science-rejection as getting rid of all the child vaccines

US House of Reps has passed a bill to criminalize trans healthcare for people under 18. This bill can be still stopped in the Senate, call/write your senators & ask them to oppose. Californians: @schiff.senate.gov www.schiff.senate.gov/contact/ @padilla.senate.gov www.padilla.senate.gov/contact/

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

STAR WARS (especially after EMPIRE) was never a straight forward power/wish fulfillment fantasy. It is something richer and more complex. Luke’s ultimate victory in RETURN OF THE JEDI is in casting aside his weapon. But then we got 25 years of wish fulfillment stories in the expanded universe.

the entire LA animation industry should get to take turns beating their owed money out of Zaslav like a piñata

god, what a monumental waste of everyone's fucking time and effort How many of my friends' careers did I see get pointlessly tanked from this shit, still yet to recover?? As if "one" wouldn't have already been too high an answer

This would not have passed if those chickenshit Dems Davis, Cellar, and Gonzalez had not voted for it. They voted to put the parents of trans youth in prison for ten years. Primary them all.

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

Will never, ever get over the James Earl Jones bot immediately dropping the F-slur in Fortnite

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

Dawg a large chunk of why we're in this mess is due to this ASSHOLE

I often think about Zohran Mamdani saying “to get to any of us, you’re gonna have to go through all of us.”

“I swear these AI companies think they’re creating a new god," a member told us “It borders on religious fanaticism. Even during the meltdown Jason was like ‘We’re bringing a new sentience into being!” like… it’s a chat bot. I was using those on AOL Instant Messenger 20 years ago.”

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch' or reference. I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work. Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey. Maybe that's the point.
