“There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity. ... Even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason” - Roald Dahl, 1983

Roald Dahl was not, in fact, just criticizing Israel.

I think pop culture's got the "teen who uses slurs on call of duty" audience sewn up. There are new markets to conquer now.

Bluesky replies when you post a joke

This is the wildest part Elon did eventually become a source of ire and was targeted with protests but not because he killed hundreds of thousands of people.

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

I always thought that was why he line succeeded so well. It took three of the most popular characters in fiction, and made them the same economic class as its readers. It's great.

Hmmm will being the greatest villain in their lives want to make them work with us hmmmm

This to me feels like a better timeline breaking through to ours

Just bring up Spawn

Jeffrey Epstein

In the Trump era every employer, and I do mean every employer, is slowly learning why treating your workers well benefits them too!!!

reading this added 5 years to my life

That said they could also fix 90% of Bluesky's cultural problems by just saying "well, we tried having quote posts, but in retrospect it was a mistake for humanity"

If "Bluesky" is synonymous with "scoldy progressivism" then just accept reality instead of swinging a broadsword at the ocean waves. It's honestly OK for online communities to be smaller than they used to be [every tech worker in the Bay Area gasps at my speaking this heresy aloud]

I actually do agree that by now Bluesky has developed a culture that is very non-universal and only appeals to folks who want to be part of it, but if that's true, then... OK. Give those users the "Bluesky" brand and use the protocol to make a new brand! Wasn't that the point of the open protocol?

This website is all dorks yelling at dorks. This is what Lord of the Flies was if everyone was Piggy.

also the luddites were correct and everyone's warped history to discredit what they were saying about labor, everyone *should* be luddites about this crap

People I follow on the internet: Wow you have to see this monkey-cheese ass lol random video that Iran/china making to tease USA leadership/whatever, and what's more, it's AI slop!!! Me (putting on big lobster bib but instead of a picture of a lobster it's a picture of shit,

AI defenders keep calling folks who hate it luddites, brother, we all bought the first smartphones because it changed from vertical to horizontal when you flipped it, we're easily impressed dullards, and even this disgusts our smooth dodo brains.

...and, like clockwork, the "You're doing it wrong" crew has arrived. It's the "Learn to code, bro" team all over again, now with a shiny new toy with which to beat people over the head.

What are you talking about? There's nothing wrong with AI fact-checking!

There's a funny genre of post that's like "if you DO this then I will think you're a failure, a clown, a buffoon" and I just go idk who you are you talk like mandark, he is dexter's enemy, i will never respect the villanious mandark!!!!

Whenever I hear about Taylor Lorenz it's her saying it's disgusting to not want every child in America look like Absolute Riddler

I got kind of bad news about both, for the most part.

Is there a way to get us all to unsubscribe from streaming? Make it a thing? Bring back cable?

Sterling K. Brown on why so many new seasons of TV consist of only 8-10 episodes 📺

Chat GPT should be what Fred Flinstone would look like with "white boy rizz"

This is what the guy from DTF St Louis drank when he died IRL. The tv show changed it because Slimer's too powerful.

That was a hit piece! The report didn’t even mention the fact that Slimer had diverticulosis!

I can't believe there are people on this website who SUPPORT Slimer this democracy is beyond saving did you see how many hot dogs he ate?????????

If you are an 80's kid, the villainous Slimer is your Hitler!!!!!!

it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy

I have texted multiple friends this episode of tv is essential viewing. Nude Danny is the best doc subject since Robert "and the burping" Durst

Turns out covering up for pedophiles isn't a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Very rude of Swan Boy to sum up my life in a measly two panels
