On the one hand, he has a disability and can't control Tourettes tics. On the other, he had an opportunity to offer a sincere apology for the harm caused. But he didn't apologize. He just promoted his film some more. And that wasn't a tic.

AAA Game developers are unfortunately the same as Disneyland employees and political staffers. There's this massive propaganda aura built around the industry such that they've convinced labor pools to wait in line for a job that pays poorly because they know people "believe in it".

all the AI companies are talking about "AGI" being the next big thing, but Sierra On-Line figured out AGI back in 1984

new favorite hobby on bluesky is fucking with other programmers

This is what you people get for irony.

Neck like a fucking catchers glove.

Barry Keoghan for the Peaky Blinders movie is such a phenomenal pick. Haven't been pumped for a movie in a while, I'm pumped. I can't think of anyone who can match that glazed over, I-really-don't-give-a-shit look that Cillian Murphy made the signature of Tommy Shelby.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

it's still a pretty far off chance, but today we are closer than we have been for centuries to a european royal invoking some esoteric trial by combat custom and engaging in a straight up duel for the kingdom between brothers

Mark Alford has a home address too.

ok but how is the opposition party supposed to win over his supporters now, have they even thought about that

My wife always points out that "there's a coffee maker in the hotel room" when I'm busy picking a hotel based on the availability of a latte nearby, and guys I'm saving that video for the next time she gives me shit about it.

Misfits tshirts and tattoos being a giant red flag still holds up. I see a crimson ghost on a person, I'm judging em. Regardless of which era we're talking about too, "those guys are absolute gutter trash" is going to be a true statement.

Every so often this gets a wave of likes from people who don't realize that whole thread is dripping in hateful irony.

This is like shitting your pants on the train and predicting the people next to you are going to complain of a stench, then declaring yourself extra special smart for having predicted their offense once they begin to complain. All you've accomplished is shitting your pants.

Theater teacher taught me this one: to clear your mind, go balance a broom stick (or anything, see the images), exactly like that. It's really hard to think of anything else when you're doing that. It's basically an introvert's warmup.

The babies love Kendrick. My son is non verbal and during that summer you could hear him humming the hook all the time, I loved it.

Tons of people in this thread who haven't flown in the US for like a decade or more and they're very confident they could still fly with an ID like their Costco card.

get creative, finish the image however you want in the replies

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

The fireman pointing. "Well the cybertruck is positioned such that it's inside the wall, that's your problem right there. Why did you call me? You need a home contractor."

Having been an early cord cutter since long before YouTube and really avoiding ads as much as possible since becoming an adult 20 years ago: every year it's more and more jarring how the US is going based on the ads shown during the Superbowl. Historians are gonna study it.

I fucking knew it! My wife thought I was nuts.

i don't think christians should be allowed to vibe advertise in commercial breaks like they're selling coca cola. no more shots of the night sky and vague cursive text about finding purpose. show your weird-ass mega pastor asking for money and telling people cholera is caused by loose morals

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is legitimately great despite being laden with every trope in fantasy. I didn't think they could top Peter Dinklage or Pedro Pascal for character, and they managed to give me a guy who is legitimately as close to a love child between those two that one could get.

There's lots of wish casting about AOC running for president from the Republicans because they would much rather prefer she go ahead and do it so they only have to deal with her for 4 to 8 years longer. On the other hand, she could continue directly influencing Congress for decades.

"I have no opinion one way or the other on Kid Rock. I love his music." Can't make that kinda quote up.

thank goodness DMX didn't have to see all this

The National Prayer Breakfast is one of the single worst institutions of American politics, and it exists solely as a means for the organized religious right to sit down at the table and start negotiations by quietly placing a revolver in front of them and not acknowledging it.

I've said this a lot and will continue saying it: Mike Johnson is the head of the religious right and his status as speaker was the trade for their support of Trump. Johnson and Co want their theocratic dictatorship and he's aiming to be the one at the top.

Seek help, girl.

The Lizzo thing highlights a problem I've always been sensitive to and I get shit for it, but I've been proven right so routinely that it's become part of "my gut": Turnkey popularity is the number one sign of something very dark and shitty going on. Lizzo was turnkey popular, overnight.

This is the creepy stalker "she declined my very polite request for a refined dinner date, so fuck that bitch" equivalent for a newspaper. Not to mention the slight that it is for your editorial board to sideline the actual endorsement of a candidate and opt to put another's name there. M'Paper.

Peter Weller would never.

On my god that pig is adorable, look at his little teefers!

"We set out to do this lofty, very difficult goal to influence mainstream music in America and nailed it like goddamn Robin Hood hitting an apple" is in and of itself very very impressive shit that establishes a very sharp understanding of the industry. Hence industry awards.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

"we need to use eugenics to stop the eugenicists" is certainly a take you can choose to share

I have long (jokingly) said that if I ever ran for public office my single platform would be "replace as many stoplights with roundabouts as possible," so this brings a small enjoyable tear to my eye.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Listen up: biometric locks aren't locks. They aren't more secure. They are far LESS secure. They are more convenient. You are trading all the security of your password for a sliver of convenience. That is US LEGAL DOCTRINE, not a technical opinion. Use a password or pin to lock your devices.

I expected this was just some guy white knighting the idea of innocent before proven guilty but no, he's actually coming to the personal defense of someone named in the files who had comms with Epstein. Imagine working your whole career and this being all of what you're going to be known for.

Also noting all the "but Chomsky replies to everyone!" people today.

You know those situations you think, "nah, you couldn't pay me enough to take that shit"? Those are the situations ICE and CBP and any other LEOs supporting them ought to be finding themselves in. Daily.

Millennial here: sit down, we grew up playing games like Kings Quest where the first lesson of the game is "how to turn left or right with the arrow keys and avoid death" and even that took a while to get right.

It's funny how all these billionaires started buying up all the social media apps, newspapers, and television networks right as all these revelations were starting to come out.

friends, the recipe for deep fried oreos is dangerously simple

"kind of weirdly free" is a very obvious euphemism for "I get to own slaves here"

the root problem of "secret police" isn't the "secret" part
