since we're still early in the workshopping process, I would like to sumbit "The Wokessaince" for your consideration

One healthy step ahead for society would be for many to stop pretending they don't watch porn, so thus we can treat sex work like the real job it actually is. And I'd place any bet those who condemn porn are its most frequent users.

Actually, he never cared about the cost of living.

Flights are being cancelled. Food assistance is suspended. Government employees are going without pay. But priorities are being taken care of:

Is it a coincidence that when I finally like a franchise film that it over-performs at the box office? Maybe making good and sometimes oddball shit will result in positive word of mouth and make people enthusiastic about seeing it.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!

not gonna share that picture of musk's creepy fake "A.i." lover but it's not just mockable, it's intensely, soul-blanchingly sad ban "A.i." from your lives, friends.

NYC newspapers and pretty much most of the news media are going to do everything possible to derail Mamdani. It is deliberate and meant to serve the rich and elite class. Unsubscribing is taking the simplest action. Actively delegitimizing them is just as important. They are the enemy.

Elon Musk recreating the final scene of CARNAL KNOWLEDGE with one shitty AI tweet.

Frankenstein is available to stream on Netflix today, so expect a bunch of “I don’t get the big deal” takes from people uninterested in the movie who half-watched it on their phones.

‘You should come back to Twitter instead of staying in a liberal echo chamber’

This is why you don’t elect someone who doesn’t understand how government works to the presidency. Especially when they did the job before and learned absolutely nothing.

For various reasons, dems have long refused to have the appropriate contempt for our horrible news outlets. More like this

The greatest moment in broadcast television history.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Ironically the prequels did at least give us the perfect response to people who have confused “I was a child at the cinema” with “the prequel trilogy was good”.

One of the funniest things about getting older is watching people my age succumb to nostalgia about these terrible films.

They stole and spent the SNAP money, didn't they?

so, the plan is to ruin thanksgiving, ruin christmas, make everyone’s lives harder, all stick, no carrot, and then… what? january 2026: “hey, we are the party that ruined fucking everything, let’s talk about the new year!”

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

GdT's FRANKENSTEIN might be closer to the book than 99% of adaptations, but it still breaks from the text in various seismic ways. Like his PINOCCHIO, it's less about bringing a book to life than it is about GdT ruminating on what these texts and characters mean to him.

“Glass tables are acting weird tonight.”

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

If 3 years of endless hype continues to result in people repeatedly asking the question, "What exactly does it do?", then this is not something that should be used to prop up our economy.

I'm sure a lot of New Yorkers were worried that Greek Clemenza was gonna hightail it to Jersey.

The people doing this have had their brains fried by the internet that they think people in Chicago are being recruited for Zohran Mamdani's Imaginary Jihadist Army.

My kids have measles and my SNAP benefits were cut. But at least those cashiers at Walmart aren’t writing “they/them” on their name tags anymore.

NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

It’s worse than you think. This is his lawyer Rita Glavin who has been paid tens of millions of dollars to smear me and the other women who came forward. She has led his taxpayer funded litigation abuse of us all. And here she is at the loser party with him.

Sure, Musk and Trump are obviously to blame, but those who voted for a second term also have this blood on their hands. And I really would like them to think long and hard about that while they live their comfortable lives that weren’t comfortable enough for them.

I need to emphasize what I say down-thread: this is a temporary, procedural move known as an administrative stay issued in haste by Justice Jackson. Little to nothing should be read into this ruling for how SCOTUS might ultimately rule on SNAP—either way.

Part of the reason I think there isn’t as much pressure around stopping ChatGPT re: suicide/psychosis as compared to stuff like Panera Lemonade is because people are inclined to blame it on mental illness versus the tech, a kind of victim-blaming mentality that fits neatly into just world fallacy

New article on Sam Altman's long history of abusive, toxic, manipulative, duplicitous behavior (those aren't my words, but the words of people who have directly interacted with him). The guy is a complete conman, worthy of the derogatory moniker "Scam Altman." Read more:

Trump is now fighting in the Supreme Court to stop SNAP hunger payments, which affects one in four kids in America, as well as seniors and people with disabilities. Trump also left for Mar-a-Lago, and wow have you seen his gilded gold bathroom sinks?

since chatgpt has coached another young person in a mental health crisis to their death, I am yet again tapping the sign

Exactly one week ago, Trump hosted a Gatsby themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago for all of his billionaire donors and obsequious friends. Today, he asked the Supreme Court to block a lower court ruling that demands he feed America's poor.

Um, @variety.com? That’s…not what that means. 😳 variety.com/2025/music/n...

Can’t pin anything on Democrats when you’re actively going to the Supreme Court to ask them to help you starve people.

BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge rules Trump’s Portland military takeover unconstitutional. Judge Immergut permanently blocked Trump’s order to federalize Oregon’s National Guard — calling it a violation of the Tenth Amendment and a power grab beyond lawful authority.

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

capitalism is about the consolidation of power. the dollars are the scoreboard, not the goal. they hate redistributive policies not just because it would cost them money but because they would redistribtute the *power* as much as the money.

This is the beginning of his quest to remake all of Michael Cimino's films.

If you know someone who voted for the guy last year, I think you're allowed to deliver them one roundhouse kick to the face.

Real writers and artists get it.

“As Big Tech collects hundreds of millions in tax breaks, residents and newfound tech activists are saying it leaves residents with higher light bills, reduced drinking water, and deepening inequality.”
