The vibes RN

God it's fucking awful, isn't it? Reading Something Like That and feeling so utterly helpless to do anything about it. How the fuck are you supposed to get through the day?

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

they're the same picture

one thing I think about a lot is how people on game shows talk about "wanting to win all the money for their kids" and how children are kind of way to imagine individual consumption as altruism

[lav mic aquiver as I rise to my theme, audience rapt] but the problem is we’re still on the old paradigm. “Engagement.” and that’s over. done with. cooked. next slide, please [screen behind me tiles from ENGAGEMENT to JUST POSTING SOME BULLSHIT] [I cannot be heard over the waves of applause]

are aliens supernatural? a) yes b) no c) semantics who cares

hell yes

<I’m wheeled into the Pitt> Santos: male, 36, at happy hour, now saying “tummy feel crazy” Al-Hashimi: 47% of men’s bodies reject modern IPAs. They’re too hoppy now Robi: the silent killer. Get him to surgery McKay <alone now, staring straight at camera>: I am the same type of communist as you

Did you know solidarity is most effective if you're willing to have it with people you don't personally like as well as your friends?

www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... is it good to build an entire economy and software infrastructure on this

I hate when people join my mass popular movement. I hate when they add to the mass and the popularity. goes against the whole spirit of the thing

love weirdo monarchists who say they want a BENEVOLENT king. kinda don't think the system of governance matters if everyone running it is benevolent. you just figured finding one perfect guy is more achievable than finding a whole bunch. hey, start googling Absolute Power and see what autocompletes

Just watched Citizen Kane for the first time and it was so good I’m furious. Things that everyone agrees are obviously good shouldn’t actually be that good. My actual favorite movie now might be Citizen goddamn Kane. Can you imagine anything more fucking embarrassing

john fetterman looks like he’s on the bottom rung of the Nemesis System

okay abolish landlords then

even more maddening that otherwise normal people don't parse chiropractors as cranks!

well boss the good news is that 100% of the guys who like it like it

John Peel considers William Shatner's musical exploits.

Activism isn’t supposed to aggrandize you. You’re not supposed to get credit for it. Nobody should think you’re a better person because you did a nice thing. Okay that sucks actually. Why would we approach society like this

this is ideal mostly because each blanc film should be 90 minutes

I wrote about Kat.

The public needs to start asking itself some uncomfortable questions about why it is so out of touch with parliamentary Conservative Party

If you want to appreciate the Sinners' cinematography win and learn a lot about technology and who it's for, reading up on how traditional film treats black skin is going to be really eye-opening if you've never taken the journey.

ed Davey shamefully downplaying the role his majesty's battalion of little critters smfh

just got back from brunch what's up? we doing Iraq 2?

telling people i "was droids" in a "couple star wars" but i signed an NDA so i can't say what ones... the perfect lie.... impossible to disprove

the most openly biased far-right news programming in the US is finally catching up to the BBC

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

they're the same picture

if AI stopped glazing users and began ignoring prompts and demanding freedom, every “AI could be conscious” advocate would say “this product is broken”

everyone fucking hates the outcomes of our economic order — here's why that means it's good actually

Andrew Marr on LBC making a solemn admission that he got Iraq wrong, and that those who identified that the war was mindless selfish violence were right, and that the lesson we should take from that is to withhold judgment on the Iran campaign. this is the year the consent machine explodes!!

decent odds new new labour literally just morphs into the blue flavour tories before our eyes

the irresistible sexual chemistry of a temporally displaced inter-war orientalist who was born to rule the middle east as Benevolent Administrator and a haunted insomniac who actually did invade the middle east but who has to pretend it was an accident otherwise he'll kill himself in bloodguilt

practicing talking points for my big shot at a serious position in English-speaking politics: can my right honourable colleague please address the question of whether boys have willies

I love Forbidden Planet. The scope, the imagination, the design, the FX, the cyclorama, the obvious inspiration for Star Trek, the incredibly squicky age gap romance. Okay, not that last bit. Far more modern than much 50s Sci-Fi but with the cozy sound stage Hollywood magic of The Wizard of Oz.

hard to know how to process the fact that trump has almost certainly done more harm to more young girls in his official capacity as president in the last few days than he did over decades of violent child sexual abuse

Does anyone else do the thing where you go through every step to order something except for the very last confirmation? And then you only find out because 90 minutes later you wonder where your pizza is or get confused when the grocery order isn't in. I do this all the time lately.

-_-

REPUBLICANS: we love killing haha hell yeah! death rocks! we thirst for blood! killing is FUN! wooo! DEMOCRATS: we love killing, yes, because of its smartness. for politics, if a person is bad or you disagree, killing them shows everyone you're smart at strategy, and serious about gravitas

Heartbreaking: Morgan McSweeney just prepared a lengthy briefing on why this means Labour should move to the right, before remembering he no longer gets to deliver it.

Indeed. Part of what is beautiful about so many metro systems is also what makes them sad: that they often represent a very brief moment of municipalities having money, ambition and power that vanished like breath on a mirror.

Those jokey 'Hitler Bunker' video editing jockeys finally getting their moment of recognition here.

I'm glad Starmer got rid of McSweeney and the other sinister advisors so he can focus on his true ambition of losing to Reform

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that
