Well, this guy just sounds super trustworthy. I think I'll send him some money ...

Zelensky lands in Miami. Not a single US official is on hand to greet him. In the language of diplomacy this send an unequivocal message of coldness and hostility. Compare it with the lavish pomp and red carpet shown to Putin when he landed in Alaska a few weeks ago.

The last episode kitchen table conversation in The Leftovers.

Many true things to be said about. Bridget Bardot … but she did inspire this terrific tune:

Reposted this yesterday but I’m doing it again because I feel so strongly. Video is much harder on women, who are expected to conform to much higher grooming standards, and also really on anyone who doesn’t look like a conventional white man, who can expect more nastiness bsky.app/profile/youn...

Hey Sam Neill, there’s a biopic role just waiting to be filled by you!

If the tool we’re using says that two of the four highest-grossing movies in history have had no impact, that seems like a problem with the tool, not the movies. (And also, fundamentally changing the way movies are made and shown seems like a pretty marked impact on “the culture”)

perfect metaphors don’t exis—

I can’t get over how one directional Instagram feels… I liked old Twitter & now BlueSky because they feel like local pubs you go into and join chats with old mates and new. Instagram feels like you are walking into the backstage at a theatre where everyone is practicing their monologues.

Wow – there are AA Milne descendants sitting quietly on some ker-Azy money!

Welp, Nancy's gotta go.

Trump's master plan of proving his complete and total innocence by behaving as guilty as humanly possible might not be working.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Buy REAL books by REAL authors and illustrators. Here's a couple of mine huia.co.nz/search?q=rox...

Make a Bond movie casual On Her Majesty’s Public Transport

I don’t have selective outrage about tunnels, I have focussed outrage about my immediate neighbours’ houses being forcibly acquired and demolished to make a dead-end road a little wider.

I love the typographical spite (or is it ignorance) that had them match the typeface for adding Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center … but in a slightly different weight, so that it’s clearly an afterthought.

just feeling more and more like it’s journalistic malpractice not to lead with the fact that the instructor in question is trans

Christmas morning

The Little Drummer Boy should do a Tiny Desk concert.

This is a great example of how genAI steals from us all on multiple levels. It's stolen a promotional spot for real books and authors, it's stolen a job from an actual journalist who could have compiled this, it's stolen an opportunity for parents to be recommended good NZ books for their kids

"if you can't tell that my AI art is fake, then what does it matter?" If you put rat turds in my soup and I didn't know it, you still fed me shit.

is it Batman? bcz that would be very surprising.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

Oh, so NOW copyright is still a thing?

Whoever leaked that 60 Minutes video is a hero. Now do the Epstein Files.

I saw an advertisement at the bottle store describing non-alcoholic beers as ‘nonnys’ and Jesus Christ did I almost need a drink.

When Bari Weiss and CBS decided to censor the report on El Salvador’s brutal prison, they didn’t realize that bootlegged copies would surface. Please share it with everyone you know and drive these fascists crazy.

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

The 60 Minutes episode on CECOT that Bari Weiss tried to spike has leaked. youtu.be/lenFGZ5WUTA?...

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Looking back, why do you think you lost the South China Sea battle of 2031? “Well, about six years ago we actually let a delusional 89 year old with dementia design our new fleet.”

canceled when my google searches leak and the number one repeated query every day for the past eighteen months is “could queen’s gambit see the board better because her eyes were so far apart”

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day "I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off. There's silence for a second. "Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."

Then they came for the sarcastic people and I was like oh great that's exactly what we need right now well done to all concerned.

Once I asked a nurse why they say “just a little scratch” for an injection, bc it doesn’t feel like a scratch. A beat, and then she said quietly “we’re trained not to say just a little prick.”

Prairie Rascals: a tale of greed, betrayal, and revenge, set in the wilds of western Arkansas (but filmed in Devon). www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3rt...

At some point JD is going to have to choose between his career as a full time racist and his kids and based on his previous actions, I don't think he will pick his kids.

All I can say is that I hope JD Vance's kids have their go-bags well hidden but easily accessible.

Imagine fighting to keep shitty, shitty Courtenay Place the way it is…
