All of this thread. I understand the self interest that AI salesmen have to push their product, but the grasping way they’re doing it — the internet version of a traveling salesmen putting his foot in the door so you can’t close it — is only going to drive more people away.

Senate News: Republicans are trying to sneak a provision into their latest government funding bill that would make it easier to sell off public lands and national parks, and may have the votes to do it. If you care about protecting your public lands, now’s the time to make it known.

So many posts about Susie Wiles but not many links to the actual Vanity Fair article so here it is.

Not that it matters, but in my grief, I realized that Christopher Guest was in 3 of Rob Reiners classic movies: spinal tap, the princess bride, and a few good men. huh!

I know Justin doesn’t mean it this way, but it’s almost gloating to speak about a government concerned with saving lives over special interests

2025: The worst year since ______?

A crazy streak of not just hits but movies that are permanently woven into the culture. Turn it to 11. Inconceivable. I’ll have what she’s having. Wanna see a dead body? In the hands of a lesser director…

This is one of those times when all of the bad news just sucks the air out of your lungs.

all the wrong people are dying

Rob Reiner's first seven films: 1. Spinal Tap. 2. The Sure Thing. 3. Stand By Me. 4. THE PRINCESS BRIDE. 5. WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. 6. Misery 7. A Few Good Men. Good lord. Even Spielberg included 1941 in his first seven. And that was after playing Michael Stivic. I hope this news isn't true. But...

they should invent a forever bed maybe with a lid so it's always dark put it somewhere quiet that's the dream

Stranger Things Season 6: The kids, now in college, are chased around the state by a trash talking Larry Bird. Eleven develops a crush on Woody Harrelson’s character on Cheers, Woody Boyd, believing him to be a real person from Hawkins. Joyce is relentlessly hit on by a pre-Karen Mike Pence.

I’ve got to get out of here! I’ve got to get out of here!”

I’m beginning to think of our current conflict not as a shift of administrations or national priorities, but zooming out, a power struggle between two different nations, one in place and one insurgent. That contextualizes things vis a vis abuses of power and winning by any means necessary.

Bahaha

State Dept. Spokesperson now refuting GOP and Dem senators’ account of their joint briefing from Rubio - and claiming the 28 point plan IS authored by the US. Hard to believe several senators would have fundamentally misunderstood what Rubio told them. Breathtakingly dysfunctional government.

Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?” TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.” ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

The weird thing is with Donald Trump just said about Zohran Mandani is what every Democrat should’ve said about Zohran Mamdani the moment he secured the Democratic nomination.

It was a dark and stormy night. Robert lay beside me to my right, the bear carcass beside him to his right. “Vaccines, amirite” I heard him mutter in his sleep. I climaxed silently but with great satisfaction.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I’m surprised he didn’t tuck in “San Francisco values” and “welfare queens“ into that conservative mad lib.

Republicans don’t understand that being in the majority means always governing Democrats don’t understand that being in the minority means always campaigning

Hot take: “the usual suspects“ doesn’t age well because in 1995, it was impossible for audiences to believe that an enfeebled dimwit could be the head of a criminal enterprise.

Jim Jordan opening his mouth is consistently a waste of time. Talking about John Brennan during the Epstein Files vote in the House... SMDH
