Can’t believe we regularly have to tell people that being empathetic toward the feelings of others isn’t a liberal conspiracy to undermine the world but rather the default position you should naturally adopt in any given situation

Negative polarization against gen-AI stuff is a good instinct imo. Its usage demonstrates a lack of imagination, a lack of taste, and a general indifference toward quality more often than not.

Not to flex but since we’re doing pie discourse (courtesy of my wife)

Happy Thanksgiving to all of the wonderful corporations in my inbox

Having watched his stuff off and on for a while now I still can't tell if he's dead selling this whole character or if it's genuine outsider art that got a little too popular for its own good

Can’t remember who said that most American men under thirty look like 80s relief pitchers but it’s true

“You need to treat your band like a business” no ☺️

Once again,

Calling authors petit bourgeoisie is indeed insane. We are artisans and we deserve to profit from our labor. That said, digital piracy has never been shown to represent actual lost sales, and may in fact DRIVE sales. I think authors should cool out about it.

It’s grink season

You could throw a dart and hit any movie twenty years ago and it would be lit, shot, and paced better than almost anything made with a computer and an empty room

"Orders are presumed to be lawful"

The insistence on vulgarity here is fascinating. Crudeness and cruelty seem to be the height of comedy for all of these guys. Probably something there.

There’s no way that Neil Diamond movie is real. That’s an SNL sketch or something.

Well it’s certainly the most Catholic adaptation of Frankenstein, I’ll give you that much.

Flipped through this in the checkout line yesterday (Hobby Lobby) and it's truly incredible what people will believe

Once again I think Wicked’s second act will benefit from another watch at some point but walking out of the theater I feel like it had a lot to say but probably couldn’t quite thread the needle sometimes

Imposter syndrome evaporating lately after reading the poetry and prose of our supposed betters

Cathedrals everywhere etc.

It's called Shahadah, folks. It's a beautiful prayer. According to some people maybe the most important prayer, but who's to say? All over the world they're saying it more and more. The sawm I don't like so much [hehe], but that prayer, I mean, it really is beautiful, isn't it?

it really is such a damning indictment of all the odious fools and apes trump has surrounded himself that 10 minutes with a normal positive dude like mamdani de-aged trump like 10 years

Hakeem Jeffries was literally voting for a resolution condemning socialism while this meeting was taking place

If you want a picture of the design industry, imagine emailing "do you have a hi-res version of this?" forever

They're never gonna like you, dude. No matter how much you disavow the radicals in your party and concede to their framing of every issue and move to the center on anything popular, Republicans are never going to like you. There's no reason to preserve decorum on behalf of these people.

You could argue over whether the man himself is a socialist or not (who cares), but Mamdani's policies aren't. He's not a radical guy. This red scare stuff they're trying to pin on him is complete nonsense.

I'm not sure there's ever been a more clear cut, obvious, over the top example of "liberals hate communists more than fascists" than everything that's come out of their mouths over the last few days

In an unsurprising bit of good news Converge still whips ass

No offense but if your entire timeline is cartoon pornography you really shouldn't be surprised when people don't take your positions about political optics seriously

Great listen if you've got the time

Gerbert lookin ass

It’s okay, man. I’ve also gotten dressed out of the lost and found after forgetting my tuxedo at home the day of the jazz band concert. Happens to the best of us.

Nobody in the history of computers has been more correct about the concept of cyber bullying than Tyler, The Creator

The bomber with the rainbow flag meme is a Rorschach test: are you on the ground, or are you the one flying the plane? Your answer says a lot about your priorities. The point isn't to create a society that builds a kinder bomb. The point is not to drop them at all because they might fall on you too.

Here's what it really is (I think): regular unbranded American Protestantism, in spite of its history, has made great strides recently toward progress and acceptance. The reactionaries fled to Catholicism, which they view as more "real" due to its historical influence over the Western™ world. 1/

Say what you will about the state of Music Row but there is no better grass cuttin' music than Michael Hardy www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn2R...

Hate to call this a trend but I have a feeling this is the same phenomenon that happened with Catholics a few years ago. Arguably most of these guys are philbros who will wash out back to whatever Discord debate forum they came from once they get bored with the aesthetics.

I'm too old to know anything about Hazbin Hotel. It's like Invader Zim for zoomers I guess? Anyway, hope they're all having fun with whatever that is.

If your business model requires breaking the laws of physics I think you should maybe try something else instead

These are not serious people.

If we're doing Woke 2 can we also do Nu New Atheism without all of the Islamophobia and antifeminist stuff

We're the nephews of the uncs you couldn't chop

Orbs Are Now Mobile Earn from Quests. Spend in Shop. Reward your Play. Star Earning Orbs

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

Can't help but think of the Palahniuk line about "Planet Starbucks" every time I see something like this

this is fantastic, a thorough and compellingly argued theory of modern cinematic sludge

Really hate throwing around the word blasphemous. Having said that,
