hell yeah

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

The large-stolen-content algorithms want to be called AI for the same reason cops want to be called “first responders” - stolen valor that replaces criticism with undeserved respect

the matrix is a christmas movie if you believe

I’m making some real rookie moves this year, folks. Constantly underestimating the amount of paper

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant “we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

Per the logic demonstrated here, because Russell Stuart disagrees with my husband and I politically, he would be justified in calling our son the r-slur. My tax dollars pay his recently (6x increased) stipend wheeeeee 🤸‍♀️

It’s been 2 weeks since a Beverly Hills USD Board member replied “FAFO” to a video of Hope Walz demanding MAGA stop calling her brother the r-slur. He was called out publicly by my husband. He refused to acknowledge or apologize. This man controls my disabled son’s education. A nightmare.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Shiri says Merry Christmas

Absolutely. This woman knows what she’s doing. And she hates other Desi Americans, too—I won’t say how I know but she’s been like this since law school. So, yeah, Usha Vance is a racist self-loathing clout chaser like the rest of them, and she can fuck all the way off.

Vance's latest rant has set off another misguided round of "free Usha" rhetoric. This isn't just inaccurate--she's wholly a part of this fascist project--it's dangerous. We can no longer afford to imagine fascism as smaller than it is. Hindu fascism is vast, too. No religion is immune.

Actual quote I paraphrased before: "Allison was doing nothing but waiting for the balloon. Not only would missing again make the challenge even harder, but it's her only form of entertainment" like he CHOSE to include this line

In Mr Beast’s new video, a woman is alone for two weeks on a platform in the sky. and each day, a balloon is released at an inopportune moment for her. And if she fails to shoot the balloon with an arrow, they take a small portion of the platform that is her home

NIGEL FARAGE STOLE MY SATSUMAS

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower

Marry Christmas, Fuck Thanksgiving, Kill Columbus Day

Did a quick google to make sure DA2 wasn’t released in 2012. As a result: Journey, then and now

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Great news for Heritage American @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

I’m sorry but the whole “lesser of two evils” argument for voting blue has fallen apart this year. Democrats have voted to give Trump pretty much everything. I’d fucking KILL to have two evils, but it looks like we’ve only got the one.

The CIA is obviously not allowed to operate within the United States itself, but I think sometimes when you’re working with a team, you’ve got to step outside your comfort zone and be a utility player so we as a group can reach our Common Goal.

One of my trans friends asked me to let people know that the FDA is now sending out warning letters to companies selling chest binders. They are reclassifying them as "medical devices" which will be impossible for most companies to legally comply with. This is the bare-minimum care for trans adults.

If you've never seen the Super Eyepatch Wolf video on how Jake Paul stacked his boxing career to create an illusion he can actually fight, I highly recommend it and it makes tonight even more cathartic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktLa...

The Democratic Party is suppressing voter turnout by being shitass coward collaborators, maybe get mad at them instead of the people they’re throwing under the bus

if democrats think trans people's lives are worth sacrificing then i don't think they get to whine about losing their votes too

wait wait hold the fucking phone they canceled pride celebration stuff and at the same time collabed with rowling? that's so fucking on the nose jesus christ

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.” Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

Apocalypse World is profoundly important work. It has shaped the landscape of roleplaying games for over a decade, and with this third edition, I'm sure it'll continue to shape it for a decade more. Clever, gripping, and human. There's still a few hours to snag your kickstarter copy!

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

Everyone has the feels because they didn’t read past the headline. What Romney actually wrote is a call for “entitlement reform.” “Social Security & Medicare benefits for future retirees should be means-tested…” Means testing is costly, arbitrary & creates an “out” class. We should still eat Mitt

America is in the mid-summer of its discontent. Smack dab in the middle of it. Plenty of discontent to go before it’s even jacket season, to be honest.

There is a layer of scum a connective tissue... that connects all the people that populate the Epstein ecosystem Men of a certain age having little to no sense of self beyond work ... no charisma ... deeply soulless ... empty ... wanting... vacuous

I don't care how good this game turns out. It's not worth burning out and breaking devs. It never is.

Bill Watterson is one of the rare and truly principled artists in America and I think the fact that he has never wanted his work commercialized in this way should matter! Calvin & Hobbes is one of the great works of American art and you should leave it be!

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

Finally, a platform to debate the least suppressed ideas in American life

he also kind of gets everyone's asses again in this follow up with the washington post

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

every person pushing AI fundamentally believes that they, personally, are superior to AI, but that AI is superior to each one of the rest of us

It turns out that taking a week off work to go to Lapland with three of my favorite people and stay in an igloo resort may be fixing me

Add in 'negative' as well and you get 25%. That's still only 25% of Britons feel negatively towards trans people after a relentless decade of anti-trans propaganda.

11% of Britons say they feel 'very negatively' about trans people which just highlights how much this is a top-down hate project with around 95% of the media hating trans people and a high percentage of MPs.

Rob Reiner had a first ballot hall of fame show business career. Forget the movies he directed, go look up the list of movies Castle Rock produced. They had a twenty year run that can go toe to toe with any studio in Hollywood history.

Could use an assist from God whenever He has the free time; I know it's a busy time of year

I think about this tweet every day

Adults should not have to wake up at 545 to get to a flight. That’s twenties behavior

Moving to the opposite side of London is tough because you have to re-cultivate your instincts about how long it takes to get to the airport. I used to have such confidence!!!
