The current big drama in the increasingly stupid western comic book world: DC released cult classic title Warlord on a (more expensive) paperstock that matches original newsprint, giving a more accurate coloring. Collectors are review bombing in outrage because they think glossy = more expensive.

"And I never say no" We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control. We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1749

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

extending lab leak to the spanish flu is fucking wild, tbh

We had congressional hearings when parents just suspected heavy metal was leading some kids to suicide.

Stephen Miller Dead Behind Eyes At 39

The Holdovers (2023) ❄️

as an aside i am fascinated by this whole effort to make katie miller a thing. she’s incredibly off-putting and totally vacant behind the eyes!

Despite threats, billionaires don't leave the largest population centers, because it's where there is the most money to be had from the collective value generated by human beings, and despite what they insist, they don't generate wealth; they collect it.

This is not specific to ICE JSYK. When my mother was evicted from our old family home, they helped themselves to our things too. And I hear of people who, when they are taken into police custody, have their personal possessions (ordinary, non-problematic items) lifted from them out of greed.

Yeah this is just what his communications team wants right now

That is not dead which can eternal lie, Like Tiny Tim, who did NOT die

The American Federation of Teachers is teaming up with a company under investigation for promoting murder suicides whose product, which it admits is based on stolen work, has been used to create nudes and harass students. And kids are supposed to take ethics guidance from them. Ok!

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.

I love that he's explaining the housing crisis from the landlord perspective

It's always a relief when the Supreme Court makes the occasional ruling that flagrantly breaking the law on purpose is illegal even when Jeffrey Epstein's best friend does it.

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

Pencil test and final animation: Tokyo Godfathers (2003), dir. Satoshi Kon, Madhouse This sequence by Shinji Otsuka was the first animation test for Tokyo Godfathers, and it served as a reference for the rest of the team

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

If y'all had smoke for Kimmel, you should have smoke for this one too.

I had the eminence joy of playing some Value Vintage tonight with a friend of mine I hadn’t seen in years. Magic is great, friends are great, and, sometimes, life is great too.

"Pulling the Supreme Court back from the cliff is something progressives should view as far preferable to the alternative—where it may not just be the Court that gets pushed over the edge and into oblivion, but our entire constitutional (and democratic) order." Me in today's issue of "One First":

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

ANXIETY: Nothing in your life will ever go right DEPRESSION: You’re worthless and you’ll always be alone GUY WHO REALLY LIKED MAXIMO GHOSTS TO GLORY FOR PS2: Capcom should make another Maximo game. I’d buy it

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Sarah McBride rarely centers her identity as a trans woman. Republicans do that for her. So when she steps to the microphone and talks about "21 years of unwavering homesickness," it means something. @mcbride.house.gov www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

🚨 Andrew Tate has been BATTERED and comprehensively beaten by a novice boxer, Chase DeMoor

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

This is why I'm really starting to hate the data bros. Matty Y: "Dems should focus less on climate change/renewable energy, it's a losing issue." Sean Casten (an actual Congressman): "I won a purple district multiple times by focusing on those issues" Lakshya: "YEAH BUT YOU DIDN'T OVERPERFORM"

Congressional investigation now.

It's your birthday, Duane.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

This is also the anti-sex worker rights movement play, it’s a classic

Every journalist knows you can find people to say pretty much anything. But the more instructive question for me is: why did they find and platform these particular people/views?

Extremely obvious combing through this who is redacted and why. It's Epstein, Maxwell, a lot of Bill Clinton, maybe Michael Jackson (?) and basically nobody else. Everybody else's head is in a black rectangle. In practice, they didn't release shit.

Can’t believe those new Epstein photos

Here in Delaware we have a statue of Thomas Garrett, a white man found guilty of obstructing the recapture of fugitives from slavery – ordered to pay damages to the point of ruin for it. We don't, to my knowledge, have any statues celebrating the judges or jury members who found him guilty.
