Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

The good news is that if the rapture happens late enough you may still have time to binge all three seasons of The Leftovers before it happens

The people who *make this tech* can't get it to work in a simple demo, and their magical thinking about it has convinced them that they didn't need to do the most basic level of preparation for their demonstration. So it is, in fact, an excellent demonstration of what genAI will do for society.

That feeling when you rush your lunch so you can make a meeting that is then postponed minutes before it was to begin.

Good thing we’re almost at the end of year 4 of this bullshit, amirite? — right? RIGHT????

Speaking to Redford's sense of grace: QUIZ SHOW is streaming free on Hoopla, and it's one of the finest films about class and morality ever made in America. You should watch it.

Wonderful episode of an incredible show.

Wholeheartedly agree. Sepinwall has been my go to TV critic for years, guiding me to the small islands of TV greatness in a vast sea of “content”. Everyone should be reading him.

The Sting is one of my all-time favorite films and Robert Redford was a fantastic actor and director (Quiz Show is another favorite of mine). Will be greatly missed.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

if this shooter winds up being a red-pilled groyper the Kirk newscycle length will be mysteriously cut from two months to two days

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Regarding my last post: exhibit A. Land speed record, y'all.

Am sure that at this moment there's a right wing media arms race to try and dig up any shred of evidence that Kirk's shooter was trans or an immigrant.

his father was unavailable for comment

Guess I shouldn’t be surprised that something as benign as Cracker Barrel has the equivalent of unhinged “Snyder Cut” fans.

The morning’s bright the sky is blue and we have a teaser trailer! WAKE UP DEAD MAN the new Benoit Blanc mystery, in theaters Thanksgiving and on Netflix 12/12

The irony of the least intelligent people around leading this is thick enough to choke a hippo.

You ever think about how nazis were actually pretty solid at identifying art that did vs didn't align with their ideology, i.e. they loved Wagner but hated the Surrealists But modern nazis are like "WATCH MY VIDEO ESSAY ON WHY ROBOCOP PROVES WE SHOULD GIVE CHATGPT A GUN"

i assume he was quietly transferred to another server

What can they actually say? That adults are doing something to protect them? Talk should start with “It’s time you learned the bleak truth about congressional cowardice and public complacency…”

This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.

Every time I see reports like this, I feel sick to my stomach, especially when kids are involved. Fucking hell.

Does my toaster feel lonely? Is my screwdriver sad?

A jury of my peers? TWELVE murderers?!

He's necrotizing before our eyes. When the putrid inner self is so toxic it begins to leak out...

Share some of the best eyes in movies.

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

Setting aside the laughable “show of force” description, what kind of f’ing psychopath would actually do this with a neighbor?

She doesn’t need a hero, she is the hero we need. 🤩

It’s almost like these food safety recommendations and regs were developed for a reason.

This was just wonderful, @jasonzinoman.bsky.social

Opening my yogurt container like I'm in the Hurt Locker.

Very much agree with this and also feel that businesses/industry have followed a similar path in ensuring workers never experience the small bit of power, flexibility and choice they gained during the pandemic.

This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.

Never need much of a reason to watch Apollo 13 again, but this solidifies my evening plans.

Green Dildo Coin. An amount spent on masked thugs and themed concentration camps that could house and feed every homeless person in America. Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn. It really all boils down to losers who want to replace our society with a different one that just fucking sucks.

Dean Cain doesn't need glasses for people to not recognize him as Superman.

Several movies and even a video game from Hideo Kojima have explored what this could lead to. They were all cautionary tales, not instruction manuals.

This is the public health equivalent of shuttering DARPA work on networked computers at the inception of the internet: "data show that this 'internet' is an ineffective method of quality communication, and we're shifting funding toward safer, more reliable tools such as chalkboards, and postcards."

Anything that requires more than a simple sentence of explanation is lost on them, the perfect type of people to be in charge of the most complex government and economy in the world.

through the miracle of modern technology we have made one of the most beautiful and influential movies of all time look like microwaved shit

I hate hate HATE the time we’re existing in (I’d say “living” but that’s probably overselling it).

An honest to god hero of mine growing up. The first baseball card I ever cherished. What an incredible career.

Ryno was my favorite Cubs player growing up. One of the best second basemen there was. Cancer fucking sucks.
