Here's a lesson in right-wing propaganda (which is what Western Journal is) when it comes to movies: • if a movie is unsuccessful, they will try to find a way to make it seem like it's "woke." • if a movie is successful they will try to find a way to make it seem like it's "anti-woke."

In the future, fraud training is going to have entire sections on market manipulation focused just on 2026Q1

I think it matters how it's done by folks opposed to it, but spending money on HP shit in 2026 is absolutely a moral failing given you are aware of Rowling's politics/activism

No really, I am not kidding when I say that the data broker industry must be destroyed: www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

yeah i separate art from the artist. i put the harry potter books in the recycling and jk rowling in the trash.

the actual DOGE

TikTok banned a video we made making fun of Benjamin Netanyahu and continues to change the official reason why. www.garbageday.email/p/our-conten...

I think it’s notable that a whole lot of Jewish (and non-Jewish!) folks are saying that the antisemitism here is as bad as it’s ever been and getting worse maybe worth paying attention to the voices of people who live this stuff

They got doxxed in Canada...

It has been a long time since I have been to a movie theater but #ProjectHailMary has gotten us out to see it. Old person matinee too so hardly anyone here.

To all of these men in particular who cannot understand why sexual assault that occurred decades ago still matters. I was sexually assaulted twenty six years ago. I am closer to fifty than forty. I still will not get on elevator with men if I am by myself. That's why it matters.

Gentle reminder to make yourself harder to torture by not volunteering your deepest phobias and triggers to the general public. While this is not the first time I've suggested this on social media, this is the first time I've said it while billions of dollars were in the hands of a Klan reboot.

Hey #WomenInSTEM, please check out the qualifications and skills and DON'T WRITE YOURSELF OFF if you think you would be a good match. Throw your hat in the ring!

My Bluesky is officially just a Philly pretzel appreciation account for at least another 24 hours, I have decided. 😋🥨

Your usual no-fun reminder that alt text is not for jokes unless you are explicitly explaining a sight gag. If someone who has never seen the color of Baja Blast opens your alt text on a photo of some pee that looks weird, calling it “a lab sample of Baja Blast” in the alt is royally confusing.

Staked

drawing a black rectangle over the text does not actually meaningfully redact that text, i guess they do not teach this in law school. i wasn't even testing the fences here, i just accidentally clicked on a black rectangle and it opened my computer's email app!

my latest video is about video game to film/TV adaptations and why that industry doesn't just... use the people who wrote the games in the first place (inspired by Iron Lung + the fact that Larian isn't AT ALL involved in the Baldur's Gate 3 adaptation) youtu.be/nrFGhbkqJy4?...

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Great coverage of AI Deepfake usages, by Coffeezilla: youtu.be/srr0rRgF2Fw?...

"Do you want to want for the party that wants to return to transgender mutilation surgery for children? These are the choices" -- with the economy reeling, Mike Johnson is leaning hard back into culture war issues

‘No historical precedent’ Historians:

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

I am glad that Arizona changed their time zone to Pacific last night. That time zone has always made more sense for them.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Part of the reason "Breaking Bad" is one of the greatest TV shows of all time is that its central thesis, which feels true, is that there is a monster inside all human beings, and given the chance to come out, it will, indeed, come out. Anyway, here's an article about a Let the Monster Out Factory.

This is anecdotal, but every time I say I have a bad feeling about something (See: Elon and companies, alleged grassy knoll ear shots, LLMs, cryptocurrency, Gamergate, project 2025) And I get tech people yelling at me in the comments, Within two years I'm proven extremely right.

"Just after starting on Cars 2, I was told by a superior that I would be uninvited from all weekly art department meetings because Lasseter 'has a hard time controlling himself' around young women... It was clear that the institution was working hard to protect him, at the expense of women like me."

Some people silently process things before they speak. Some people talk their way through things to process them. Invariably they will marry the other one.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

His own God heard this and was like, where is that Mariah Carey meme? I need that right now.

It implies that we are visitors in someone else’s country.

The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime. And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.

The Venn diagram of folks that last year were saying we were over reacting and this year are saying nobody thought something like this could happen is a circle.

“Nobody thought something like this could happen here.”" Yes we did.

Additionally what so many of the "No one's talking on Bluesky" people are actually saying is "I am lost and confused when there's not an algorithm to shove content into my eyeballs with no effort on my part"

Does FidoNet or CompuServe BB posting count as social media? Asking for a friend, an old friend.

if i was the head of product for Bluesky, I would prioritize “people can block the entire Trust & Safety team with a single button” as a P0 bug. i would also not be emailing random users to complain to them if any accidentally replicated the bug.

Losing an embassy is only a political disaster if it comes from the Benghazi region of Libya. Otherwise it’s just sparkling property renovations.

Yeah, Tillis voted for Noem and these other shitbirds and he owns part of this mess. But for people who still have a shred of a conscience, that's going to make them more invested in righting what's gone wrong. We should all encourage that.

Not wading back into yesterday's netiquette seminar, but if I may offer what might be a piece of helpful advice? If you post something that gets more than five idiotic responses from people who don't follow you, turn off replies except to followers, and turn off quote skeeting.

Reminded me of this: xkcd.com/154/ There is always an @xkcd.com to reference on topic.

U.S. Cyber Command conducted online attacks against Iranian communications that the country’s top general said set the stage for America’s historic joint bombing campaign with Israel. therecord.media/iran-cyber-u...

Announcer's voice: "We are breaking into our regularly schedule programing here on BootlickerTV to bring you exclusive new content from the floor of the U.S. Senate..."

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
