A Complete Unknown (2024) Timothée Chalamet pulls off a great imitation of the young Bob Dylan—the voice seems authentic, both singing & talking. But James Mangold gives us the legend instead of reality, full of phony romantic intrigue, without the humor or much insight into why the songs matter.

The question we need to ask is what is the real reason for the sudden massive need for data centers everywhere?

I don’t know why anyone would want to make a deal with the Ellisons, seeing how their incompetence has severely damaged Paramount/CBS. Same crap will happen to WBD if that deal goes through.

She thanked me. Why did she me? Fate. Spanishy eyes. Under a peartree alone patio this hour in old Madrid one side in shadow Dolores shedolores. At me. Luring. Ah, alluring.

It’s not a climate crisis, but an extinction threat. The wealthy have decided to “fuck it” and let billions die, while finding a way to survive themselves somehow (uh huh). Because the alternative, giving up the black gold, is unimaginable to them. These are not smart people, or sane.

E. Jean Carroll is a heroic fighter who will never bend to this disgusting rapist. She’s already helped all of us to resist the pestilence.

Sen. Dan Sullivan, Maine Sen. Susan Collins, former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, former New Hampshire Sen. John Sununu, and North Carolina Republican Michael Whatley have all engaged in lucrative conflicts of interest.

It has regressed to an infantile state, but the fascists holding it up are afraid of what they’re going to do without it. So let it babble its absurd desires and pretend there’s nothing wrong in order to continue the mission of ending the United States and establishing full dictatorship.

Dr. Oz says your mom’s death was fake. Your memories are a false flag.

Dems salivating at the prospect of winning a senate seat in Texas is fine but I wish I felt like there was more going on at the top of the party where grappling with the fact that the GOP is not a party but an international crime ring is concerned

RFK Jr has been carefully laying the groundwork for an insanity defense if needed.

Boycott Uline, a shipping supplies company owned by the Uihlein family. When you buy their products, you're financing right-wing cruelty and corruption.

“He’s saying God is nonbinary!” Whereas God has male genitalia, I assume. Why not? Using the word “God” carelessly as if you know has proven to be a winning strategy for hucksters down the ages.

Will a tantrum increase my engagement?

John Cornyn was always an empty suit.

The panic over the interrupted flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz gives us a small hint of the full-blown psychosis of elites facing the threat to their profits that are posed by climate collapse and the turn to alternative energy.

Oh I get it. The entire system is corrupt. Finally it all makes sense.

Rep. Cohen just dropped 6 articles Of Impeachment on John Roberts for turning SCOTUS into a partisan weapon, putting Trump above the law, and letting his wife rake in millions from firms with cases before the Court. #USDemocracy #Pinks open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/...

RFK Jr believes all this shit. He doesn’t know that he’s a scary evil weirdo.

The liars think that smiling while you lie makes it not a lie.

Oh, you seem to think that being on a social media app is sociopolitically meaningful. I’m not here for a noble higher purpose, you twit.

—Charmed my eye... Singing. Waiting she sang. I turned her music. Full voice of perfume of what perfume does your lilactrees. Bosom I saw, both full, throat warbling. First I saw.

Dispiriting to read e.g. William Blake, Chesterton, Twain…etc, and hear them say how society and human contact is going down the tubes by way of industrialization, and looking around now, knowing they were writing in the infancy of that stage

The feds won't even let the state’s governor inspect an ICE facility in NJ. Tells you a lot about what they're trying to hide.

These fucking demons told me that my neighbor wanted to eat my dog and now they want to talk about social trust evaporating

Replacing Stephen Colbert's show with Byron Allen's is akin to replacing a 1932 Rolls Royce Phantom II with a 1972 Ford Pinto. CBS has no taste, no class, and doesn't care if it blows tf up. And Byron Allen is a douchebag who still thinks he's got something he hasn't ever had: talent.

“AI will eliminate the need for thinking, so most of us won’t experience much of a change.”

“You announced a peace deal, but you forgot to say ‘Bibi says.’”

We should go all the way. No half measures. Put a strip club and a glory hole in the white house.

On the occasion of this latest physical exam, a reminder that there was not a single medical report on the condition of the candidate trump from Butler Memorial Hospital in PA after he was said to be wounded in an assassination attempt. There was what looked like blood on his face. Yet no report.

Is hanging still a legal form of execution? I was just looking at a photo of Elon and it got me wondering. Don’t get me wrong, lethal injection is okay.

I’m concerned that the current national mood may inspire prejudice against other orange-colored people.

👌 Pope Leo XIV on #AI “We must avoid the ‘Babel syndrome’, the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak...the pretence that a single language—even a digital one—can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance.” 🗃️ #arthistory #skystorians 🏺 #vatican

According to a lawyer involved in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, Epstein would not have been able to commit his crimes without the complicity of banks. @congressmin.bsky.social and Oversight Dems will hold all involved accountable.

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott delivers commencement speech to Kansas City Art Institute graduates. Wait for it…

Who is this “Kid Rock” character? I’ve heard him referred to as a musician but I’ve never heard anything from him resembling music. Also, he’s clearly not a kid, but a slovenly old tramp. I’m having a hard time keeping up with unpopular culture.

OG blogger @booman23.bsky.social has a great post up today, highly recommend his take-down of David Frum’s latest screed: martinlongman.substack.com/p/wanker-of-...

Why is this just so crazy to read from him. Explaining how the robots are not human. Just spelling it out

“I’ll be dead by then anyway” is the conservative contribution to the philosophy of future generations’ well-being.

Thomas and Alito relaxing together weekly by a cozy fireplace to listen to the stirring message of Michael Savage.

The real welfare queen in America is Jeff Bezos, worth $279 billion, who pays wages so low his workers rely on food stamps and Medicaid while he sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring because his tax rate is less than 1%.

A masked man in an armored vehicle, dressed as if he is in the middle of a war zone, training a weapon on unarmed protestors. This is simply incompatible with democratic expression.

Thus continued Pantagruel for a while very calm and quiet, for he was not able so easily to break those chains, especially having no room in the cradle to give a swing with his arms.

Russia announces that it will systematically bomb Kyiv, including diplomatic missions. Trump & the US do not even protest. Trump is the greatest coward the US has ever had as president.

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

The administration plans to use claims that "China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.” The premise, it almost goes without saying, is a total lie. trib.al/dD7xx4n

An NBC News investigation finds dozens of examples of criminals imitating ICE to rob and attack people www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

“Here, let us think for you.” “Sounds good! I don’t need a mind of my own. I’m just a humble food gobbler, sir.” “Thank you. We’ve just sent you a text telling you how to plug in the device.” “It needs to be plugged in?” “Yes, in your head.”
