does anyone know if either Hayden Christensen or Ewan McGregor have seen Backstroke of the West? having them do a commentary track for charity funding would bring in a lot of money

oh good, I'm getting Trump vagueposting in my fortune cookies now

getting a phone survey and doing my best not to deploy the Tree of Liberty line when asked about if I greatly approve, somewhat improve, somewhat disapprove, or greatly disapprove of Trump's job shepherding the economy and starting wars of aggression

there's lots of changes but one of the major differences between the new internet and the old internet is that on the old internet when someone linked to an article that generally meant you would actually be able to read it

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

Musk and Zuck and Thiel and Altman and the rest are some of the unhappiest people to ever live, and they all seem willing to destroy the world in their search for just a moment of contentment. Not great for the rest of us.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

John Mearsheimer will uncritically use this as evidence

I’m glad that he’s showing what (white) American Christianity is really about. The thirst for domination and power to the point of blasphemy. They’ve been calling him the chosen one, an avatar of God, because he allows them to hate marginalized people. He can do this because they won’t abandon him.

is it bad I find it funny that Christina Koch's intro clip is from her troubleshooting the toilet?

it's a soap opera: As The World Burns

woke is when stuff costs less

love to be poorer forever because the dumbest 20% of the country has terminal oppositional-defiant disorder

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially. transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Billionaire groupthink is wild; they are now all in a rush to insist they have no inner life. No introspection, soul, interiority, light. They need you to know they are nothing but hungry ghosts, forever consuming, shaping the world to death to rule over a graveyard. They want you just as cynical.

[guy who calls everyone else an NPC] oh I don’t have any interiority. Introspection was invented by Jews

The guy literally does not know how to manage an organization larger than a local landlord.

His entire approach to foreign relations is "I'm raising the rent. Don't like it? Move out and I can find another tenant. If you don't pay I'll evict you and throw your stuff on the street."

Oh my God. What an absolute fiasco

all we need now is for Trump to forget who got us into Iran and start criticizing the moron who did that, and it will all be complete

great timing, Mr President

kinda glad that Colin Allred pulled out of the Texas Senate race. He has the wrong name for a Democrat

New: this app warns you if someone is wearing smart glasses nearby. Meta plans to add facial recognition to its Ray-Ban smart glasses. A 404 Media reader made this app after we showed men filming people w/o their consent, and DHS officials were wearing the glasses www.404media.co/this-app-war...

It drives me insane that Elon Musk basically did a Holodomor on the third world and it's not treated like a bigger deal. This should be the number one thing that people know him for. This should be in the first paragraph of his Wikipedia entry. This is a history book scale atrocity.

Journalists are reporting that Juan Nicolas, a two-month-old detainee at the Dilley, Texas ICE Family Concentration Camp, has deteriorated so severely that he was rushed to a hospital in an unknown condition on February 16, 2026.

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

Protector Tree heightened to 10th Rank #pathfinder2e

King Macbeth, watching the halftime show: *panicked spit take*

“It’s cold here all the time and the food is poor. For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.” lataco.com/captive-loti...

Users of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads can no longer share links to ICE List, a website listing what it claims are the names of thousands of DHS employees. www.wired.com/story/meta-i...

starting to think the Westminster System has some advantages. Namely, a head of state whose sole function is to press a large red button labeled "eject government"

every now and then I think about this joke I made in a chat group back in January 2022

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

REGIME CHANGE 🇺🇸

We must film and post every single thing these thugs do in public spaces. Pull out your phone and hit record. Use a long lens if you've got one. Every angle covered, every masked face in closeup. A detailed visual record will matter.

no shade on the man, but Walton Goggins is a dnd-ass name

would make a great transition announcement

just a funny thought: the US isn't the only one in the eternal death grip of Baby Boomers China was supposed to see a generational hand off from their own Boomers (1945-1955), just as Jiang Zemin's (~Greatest Gen) and Hu Jintao's (~Silent Gen) cohorts had done but Xi reconsolidated and blocked it

Have a Merry Christmas!

if Nolan has any bravery, then people will cram into the theater expecting to see The Odyssey (2026) and instead be shown The Odyssey (1997)

Hey Millennials, you should congratulate Gen Alpha on their first successful kill

briefly forgot the name of Musk's weird low-poly steel car in conversation and referred to it as The Douchebox

Thinking of getting really up-in-arms about Mrs. Claus. St Nicholas was a bishop, he should be celibate
