Hollywood’s dirty secret is that you can perfectly replicate the IMAX experience in a normal theatre by sitting closer to the screen

Vtuber fans that complain when a vtuber is "political" are almost always only mad about it because said vtuber is a left leaning progressive. I have yet to see any of these types complain about all the vtubers who talk far right politics constantly.

When we say "AI will never be able to replace what a human can do" this is what I mean. Thoughts like this that go into creative works add 50 more dimensions to any creative work, and AI cannot do that.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

The answer to "why does everything suck now" almost ALWAYS goes back to "venture capital." Which goes back to "a lot of people have too much money and don't know what to do with it." Which goes back to: "We need to tax rich people more." It's like it's the solution to 99% of our problems!!

A great indicator of when Democrats should do a thing is if Van Jones and James Carville oppose it

PSA on the Victoria Line tube in London. Phillipson and every other GC weirdo needs to take note.

The anti trans crowd was outraged by this study because it included clinicians who actually practice gender affirming care. Yet another systematic review that follows Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Utah, and Louisiana that finds this care is safe and effective with rare regret.

curious how the one through-line between all these people is close personal proximity to pedophiles

I may not be a programmer, but I keep finding proof that things programmed with AI tend to be a lot more broken and buggy than stuff that isn't Every Claude developed port has had bugs and performance issues and the people making them aren't equipped to handle them

Planned obsolescence is a scourge of late stage capitalism. I get it with computers up to a point because of Moore’s law, but even that has hit a ceiling. Fight for the right to repair. Make do, mend and upcycle. No company should be dictating to you what to wear, look, or how to function.

My personal favorite as a lifelong Californian is the conservatives who storm off to Texas only to realize their property taxes are high, the weather sucks and “the people aren’t like I thought”

Just like this. Refuse to comply. Our organizations are made of us. If we don't participate when they choose hate? They adjust or they are replaced.

I mean, ICE is out here murdering people and Homan is threatening more murders if people don't shut their yaps, so yeah, someone at some point is probably going to decide to exercise their right to self-defense with appropriate force.

It is darkly funny that generated code is RAPIDLY getting the same rep as generated imagery and text: a sign of a careless wannabe grifter who's trying to farm clout they can monetize We've only really had generated code for like six months, the process if anything moved way way faster

Vibe coded shit has become such a huge problem lately and has polluted so many areas related to FPGA, recompilations etc. Nearly every example of this produces broken or poorly performing results. It's happening exactly as I feared.

I like Tifa and her big boobs

There is no such thing as a "never trumper Republican." They are all, every single one, stock standard GOP who are indistinguishable from any other MAGA on any level but the superficial. Poisonous creeps whose only goal is to make Dems Polite MAGA.

This has always been the case. “Go Woke, Get Broke” has always been clownish untruth. No movie has ever failed because of Black folks, POC, LQBTQ+, or women. There are a myriad of other reasons why some movies fail to connect. But bigoted chuds don’t have that kind of power.

This is basically the cornerstone of modern casual conservatism. One person imagines something has happened, then tells their friends that it actually happened, and a week later you have Fox News talking about schools having litter in bathrooms.

Mamdani's critics in one screenshot, lol

New NJ law criminalizes interference with trans healthcare share.google/xT0wTeUXv9Bf... Some good news!

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

This and the repeated Boar's Head contamination events make it clear that public safety cannot be entrusted to wealthy self-interested individuals, because without an outside party forcing them to not be a goddamn sociopath they will prioritize money over society.

Cool. Would have been nice to have been told about this when he learned about it, but gotta save shit for the book I guess.

…I think everybody needs to continue not to let this administration scapegoat restaurants, no matter how the media tries to frame it. Why is every report about fucking Taco Bell and not DOGE? I mean, I know why, but I see folks on here falling for this shit.

It's actually a very simple flow chart Do you have actual incontrovertible evidence someone is a danger to children? If no, shut the fuck up If yes, present that evidence to the relevant authorities not random internet users No, vibes or thinking someone is creepy is not evidence

“.. I asked a few AI researchers whether they could name any other real-world software that scales so poorly. None of them could think of any. “.. By economic and engineering measures, generative AI might be the worst technology ever deployed.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

a) ossoff's whole "bring it, dipshit" attitude is exactly the right response to trump's election shenanigans b) good lord has he ever leveled up as a political communicator, I continue to think he's a very serious 2028 contender if he wants it

it's genuinely good that they did this but remember that these are still billion dollar megacorporations. they're never going to be "on our side." let's not glaze them too much.

Too many people have been separated from their loved ones by DHS.

If you've ever run into them yourself, you'll know the Mumsnet types behind this sort of stuff will act like they're talking about snuff films but if you look at their public conversations with each other you realize they mean things like "anal"

Ireland is working to criminalize possession of pornography it determines is "degrading." The campaign is being bolstered by anti-sex work org SERP, which claims that 65% of all adult titles feature "content of concern."

This is well done, and Dems should use the inability to simply accept the validity of the 2020 election as justification to remove and bar every single one of these people from public service.

Almost like the Gestapo concentration camps are becoming death camps.

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:

"people will always be radicalized towards progress by injustice" is a universal truth that gives you hope constantly

Has there been a more pathetic and ineffective leader of the House Democrats in our lifetimes? I can't think of one.

The juxtaposition of this tweet being directly below this pinned tweet is really something

But let's be clear, new and quiet tactics won’t change their mandate. We must continue the fight to abolish ICE and dismantle DHS!

The organizing happening on the ground, the protests, and our demands work. Thanks to our communities' organized outrage Trump and Markwayne have been forced to change their tactics.

There are no jobs for teens, they’re not allowed to hang out anywhere in public, time to criminalize being bored

"terfism is fundamentally a pro-rape ideology" continues to be the most succinct and cutting analysis of that current

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICE has fatally shot 11 people since Donald Trump's second term began. These are not isolated incidents. They are the predictable result of a cruel, violent system. Abolish ICE.

People power works. Communities across the country have already stopped more than $130 billion in AI data center projects. Texans can do the same.
