Boots Riley is resolute in his belief that AI proponents and studio heads who say that gen AI is the future of filmmaking are simply lying. Read the full interview from @charlespulliam.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

If I use transit to get to Balboa Park in San Diego, the fare is $5 round trip. But my city council member thinks it's fine for people to drive to the park and store their car at no cost. I will never vote for that person again.

claw clips are a lie perpetrated by Big Thin Hair

1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act, welcome to The War on Cars.

Mine (in no order) I thiiiink are: Happiness is a warm gun I want you she’s so heavy A day in the life Drive my car If I needed someone Ticket to ride I should have known better Two of us We can work it out Maxwell’s silver hammer

Jared McCain outscored the Spurs bench 24-18 on his own before garbage time. Philly's bench combined for 24 or more points in 5 games this postseason.

Spurs taking a lottttt of rushed shots tonight

Daryl morey deserves to be rehired and subsequently fired again

No!!!!!

Oh my god I just saw the VBNMWses insane centrist takes on Becerra vs Steyer and ya know? Humanity had a good run. Let the insects have their era. Hit the showers everybody

And it's increasingly obvious that one of the (many) reasons conservatives seem miserable while in complete political control is that they both crave pop culture adoration while simultaneously hating the communities which are largely responsible for the creation of said culture.

ME: I was telling a friend at work how long you'll be gone this year and he said it's like you're in the military. Isn't that funny? Like you were conscripted into the clown army MY HUSBAND, THE ACTOR (distraught): It's worse! I volunteered!

A Democrat City Council member framing being forced to drop 2 progressive policies by a lawsuit from a Republican Club as "negotiating for lower fees" is some mega Spin.

What the fuck

8 Democrats vote yea to further erode the basic rights of trans youths. Waiting on the roll call to update to find out who these anti-trans Dems are.

Legitimately crying at how funny this is. I am EXTREMELY excited about the possibility that Shaq and Chuck are about to learn about I Think You Should Leave. I would pay $1,000 dollars to watch them watch "Coffin Flop" live.

I should be allowed to go home from work if I can't focus and everyone is annoying me

May 20, 2002: Sacramento's Vlade Divac drives and dunks on Samaki Walker of the Lakers during Game 2 of the WCF. Divac had 15 PTS/14 REB and Chris Webber had 21 PTS/13 REB/5 BLK in the Kings' 96-90 win that tied the series at 1-1. Shaquille O'Neal had 35 PTS/12 REB for L.A.

Israeli fascist and minister of national security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, posted a video of himself on Twitter abusing the illegally kidnaped and detained members of the Global Sumud Flotilla while yelling “Welcome to Israel, we are the owners of the house".

Knicks??????

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

this is a masterpiece

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria has spent years dehumanizing Palestinians & boycotting events critical of the Israeli Govt. Now in the wake of a horrific tragedy in San Diego in which white supremacists killed 3 Muslims he hears it from a San Diego resident. Video credit: @andrewmercado.bsky.social

Nobody is born Islamophobic. Islamophobic children are made and will continue to be made in a society that treats Islamophobia as a bipartisan norm and even sometimes social good. Islamaphobic children with access to guns are made possible by an Islamophobic society that loves guns.

I told a (Lakers fan barf) basketball friend at work weeks ago that Wemby was the next guy and he scoffed at me! SCOFFED anyway I plan to spike a football in his face tomorrow

Wembanyama doing the steph curry shot in transition in ot to steal the life out of oklahoma city meant something to me

Prayers ascending for all affected by this senseless violence at the San Diego Islamic Center. May God protect them and the whole Muslim community in Southern California.

Constant violence is not sustainable. It is harming us all. Fish swimming in blood so long we think it's water.

In San Diego we'd need to add "I also never want to pay to park anywhere, in the whole world"

Even Shaq Surprised To Learn He’s The New Spokesman For DivaCup https://bit.ly/4ftZis4

Office is always freezing (I can't adjust the thermostat in my own office because it's for the entire half of this floor? Idk) and last week after 3 years of shivering and layering various sweaters I finally caved and got a space heater. It is amazing. Life might be worth living you guys

I don’t know that it’s appreciably worse than Anything Else Going On Right Now, but learning that my tax dollars are about to fund a billion-dollar slush fund for Trump sycophants and literal January 6 insurrectionists is filling me with a new and special flavor of rage

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

The Boys had fallen off the past couple seasons but MAN this one is wheel spinning garbage with some funny lil bits thrown in every once in a while. Feel like Frodo grimly trudging up Mount Doom determined to finish it

“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”

My hot take for Tony season: Hold Note Real Long is not a metric of acting

A man talked to me at the gym ☹️ to tell me I “typed fast” because I was texting at the time

My latest free newsletter is about one of The New York Times's specialties: publishing the opinions of wealthy elites as if they are news.

The relevant portion of the Jason Collins discussion

This is real proof of concept of the fact that guys you think of as Your L'il Dude on an NBA team are still, in fact, six foot two.

Imagine a country so car dependent that everyone's politics there is based on how expensive gas is

I make things sound good and/or manage a bunch of people doing so

You don’t hate country music, you just hate the same 100 songs of bootlicking corporatized trash about saluting the flag while drinking a beer in your truck at a football game next to your pretty silent wife in daisy dukes who also knows how to fish.

Remember a few months ago when “AI uses too much water” was broadly derided as ignorant and false? They can literally steal water and not even pay a fine, while residents are told to cut back. It’s an industry built on lawlessness.

Rest in peace to Jason Collins, an unthinkably brave person and incredible leader for the LGBT community. Over a decade later and his coming out column is still an astonishing piece of writing. Wish the sport had caught up more and that he could have lived to see it.
