The biggest tell that someone is a dullard is having no favorite bands or movies or some form of entertainment. It's how you know those "grindset" types are the dumbest fucks on the planet. They have no interests. They are literally the NPCs they bitch about. You're a cog in the shit machine

The funny thing is that on the WaPo site, if you click on the comments section, it gives you an AI-generated summary of people's responses that is basically like "They all disagree with the paper's right-wing turn"

The move here for democrats is to make this the campaign ad for every single election but then also actually make it come true KEY PART

Tashikametan is a turtle who promotes the Labor Standards Bureau. He uses a scope attached to his mask to check employers are being fair. He’s a surprisingly fast runner, but because his shell is heavy, he can’t get up if he falls backwards.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Mamdani: My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name.

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

If a friend of mine answered my question with chatgtp it would be a clear indicator that I'm bad at picking my friends and I would need months to recover from the indignity of it all

this guy sucks. liberalism sucks.

He just like me fr fr

it genuinely cannot be overstated how much harm gamification has done to the human mind. amoral tech vampires created programs that give everyone points when they turn on a camera and film themselves saying the dumbest shit or performing the most antisocial behavior imaginable

It's great. Here's the actual ad youtu.be/IFAMpW0hPNY?...

This is a piece of the Mamdani campaign that I think is really underdiscussed—that in a moment of terror and despair, his premise is that standing up against fascism can be joyous.

Kaneta-nyan, a laid-back cat, is the “Chief Relaxation Officer” of Kanetaya Furniture Store in Chiba City. As a professional in relaxation, he proposes a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle. When he eats peanuts, he suddenly starts talking passionately about furniture and interior design.

This is still true. I didn't think it would be.

Our society's moral failing isn't lack of "civility" or "respect for different viewpoints". It's that so many views are lacking in empathy/compassion that they support a government spending billons in weapons while scoffing at the idea of spending fractions of that to feed, clothe, and house people.

Anarchist bricklayer Lucio Urtubia robbed banks to fund revolutionaries in Franco’s Spain, defrauding Citibank and getting away with it. Surely this is a story we’ve all been waiting for? Huw Lemmey on a contentious autobiography by a Spanish leftist hero. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/08/the-...

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

Everyone knew this would happen, particularly the biggest creeps in creepdom, the only audience for this creep item. Enjoy your golden age while it lasts creeps!

Godzilla vs Mothra (1992)

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

I'm struggling to come up with the words to express how mediocre, frictionless, absent of any meaning Black Phone 2 was.

Holy shit someone uploaded the entire stage play adaptation of the Yakuza videogame series with English subtitles and it’s glorious and 500x better than the Amazon show youtu.be/Z2Msr4si6dU?...

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

Blood Brothers announced right away that they were going to burn loud and fast and peace out after a few albums.

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

Genuinely love this show, which is like if X-Files were written by lapsed catholics. The cast and crew and writers seem to have loved producing every episode.

Obama loves going around making speeches about how the young people give him hope that they can correct our course. Everyone remembers 08 dude! It wasn't that long ago! You literally ran on being our hope. And then you droned an American child and gave subsidies to insurance companies.

Gonna go back and start watching Demon Slayer. Been putting it off for too long

Since this whole debate is still happening, and since we are still not listening I will summarize what I understand the argument to be in the Lingua Franca of white nerds: Lord of the Rings analogies.

We love a wholesome ebike story! “And the thing is, I actually ride way more now that the e-bike is an option. I take it places that I would have considered off-limits to my regular bike. It doesn’t replace bike trips, as one of my colleagues observed. It replaces car trips. ... It rules.”

Making this website less annoying for me personally

Shotout to my peeps who can't sleep.

'I have a son, and ten years from now, I want him to live in a world-class city, teeming with people from all walks of life. Not a stagnant, stunted suburb, choked by nostalgia and haunted by what could've been.' this this this

i tend to agree with this. JD grew up like a lot of us did, abused and neglected, and as a result learned how to be whatever he had to be to blend in wherever he was. a nihilist's nihilist without any beliefs other than "its important to know who is in charge and mirror them"

and all it took was threatening to prosecute feds who broke the law

Okay, Abby, I've tried being nice. You know what breeds complacency? *Screaming your head off at every damn thing and spending day in and day out stewing in your own misery*. That's what makes you complacent. Despair is the *essence* of complacency, terror is the *soul* of complacency.

Trump looks like he had a massive stroke, may be non-verbal, his admin is shitting trou trying to find a shooter who was probably one of "their guys", the guy in charge of youth indoctrination into fascism is dead, and the way they're handling his death is polarizing people against them.

Really is astounding that the past 48 hours have been a firm illustration of how powerless and fragile this administration is and the mood of the site is the lowest it's ever been since Inauguration.

Just very sick of performative cruelty being a daily baseline national experience
