thing I never got about this meme was why 4chan was outside of the "white nationalists" circle

Watched KING OF JAZZ (1930), a musical revue in two-strip color that looks spectacular and contains some weird shit. An hour woulda been plenty but a must see at any length.

So like I understand why _my_ government isn't doing anything about the revenge porn machine but what's the deal with every other country

I wonder what percentage of Bluesky arguments are between people saying "this is worse than ever" and "things have always been bad"

After a contentions debut at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival, The People's Joker is about to reach its widest audience yet.

On only hours notice, hundreds of New Yorkers are gathering in Foley Square to protest the murder of Renee Nicole Good

surrounding them after they just killed somebody and shouting “you can’t kill us all, nazis” is legitimate “ready to run through a wall” inspirational

Targets (1968) is a weirdly prescient movie about mass shootings before the US got really into mass shootings. It’s also about Boris Karloff.

In the 2010s tech world, I think there was a lot of discourse on individual-scale stuff like impostor syndrome and microsgressions, and not enough around solidarity and organizing. This was "more radical" than corporate DEI but ultimately downstream of it

I wish when people made analogies to accuse their enemies of hypocrisy they would actually address the discrepancy instead of just pointing it out

Letterboxd is really useful for learning about movies (& knowing where to find them), and help get you out of the "algorithmic slop feed" streaming services push on their users

Maybe this is a stupid question but, like, how relevant is the "AI-generatednees" of this text to its truth? Like, this is probably a lie because the facts don't make sense; meanwhile my bosses send AI-generated emails that they at least believe to be factual

I think it's ridiculous people are making Isabelle stacked when they could be putting juggs on that duck that's mean to you. "That wouldn't make sense, ducks aren't even mammals" come on man

chat glp- 1 agonists took my job as a food critic

Announcing the Tech for Palestine Summit on January 24th in the Bay Area, the largest event at the intersection of tech and pro-Palestine advocacy. We will gather pro-Palestine entrepreneurs, investors, tech workers and activists, for a full-day of amazing content! summit.techforpalestine.org

if anything, anime girl figurines predate and are possibly ancestral to warhammer minis. just look at all these mikus

Anti-war march in NYC, organized overnight. Happening right now, 8th Ave. People care.

working on these ideas now

i think it should be a point of pride for nyc that the safest place for a member of either the jewish or the palestinian diaspora (or anyone else) is the five boroughs and the mayor should be a steward of building and continuing that legacy

*Predator arms* fucking up search results

I'm taking my oath on a kindle because all books matter

If you're asleep at midnight on New Year's Eve, you're left behind in the old year, to be consumed by the langoliers

Okay I also said that the Grinch will be bigger than Santa in the next decade. Which I admit is a crazier take. But I stand by it. Santa’s time has come and gone. It’s the Grinch’s world now.

EVERYONE THINKS THEY'RE GOOD LUCK BUT WE STARTED IN LIKE 2019

Trying a new approach this year

I'm so glad we got three KNIVES OUTs but I wish we'd gotten three ZERO EFFECTs.

Did someone make a map that's all red except for green dots on cities that have mass transit?

You know how you go home for the holidays and you look up what your friends from high school are up to and you find out they've been cancelled for their Nazi ukulele music

This looks like Sinbad died and got reincarnated as a chair.

writing code is women's work and that's why AI is good at it

There have been multiple times I have come home for Christmas and my mother has put Despicable Me on tv for her pet birds

tech workers have more in common with all other workers than the billionaire class (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/b...

gee i wonder why this kid thought it’d be easier to hide their problems from their parent

oh brother, another bad post from political influencer beltway brian. i am furious at beltway brian all of the time. i share screencaps of beltway brian's posts with people who have no idea who he is. i hate all of beltway brian's posts and i read all of them every single day, including weekends

When people say that "Avatar has no cultural impact" they mean that it lacks omnipresent cross-promotion and merchandising

"Movies are too long" identifies but misdiagnoses the problem. There are _multiple_ Objectively Correct lengths for media, and a movie that's "too long" is usually just in between two of these correct lengths (88 and 176 minutes)

If people like movies about supernatural christmas interventions (e.g. A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life) but wish they were bleak, Swedish, and silent, check out "The Phantom Carriage" www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzOk...

Have people seen "The Phantom Carriage"? It's sort of halfway between "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life" in terms of, uh, stories about spirits touring a guy through his past on Christmas

I wish discourse around whether being anti-AI is Luddite (derogatory) or Luddite (approvingly) would ever address that the Luddites were obliterated

People on here keep pointing out parallels between the present and to 2008 or the dotcom bust, but a resurgence of flagpole-sitting feels very 1929-coded

Enjoying redacted document pages in your timeline? Why not take control of them in my fun mobile game! mrgan.com/blackbar/

Visitors are coming, so you clean your messy house because your standard of cleanliness is based on the houses you visit, houses that look spotless since they cleaned up before you arrived after seeing your house was clean when they visited. Together, we can stop this. Don’t clean up.

@mrgan.com is it too distasteful to promote your redaction puzzle games

Funny to think how much people made fun of them when they were right about everything

that WSJ article about wheelchairs at the airport obviously sucks shit but it points to another issue which is Americans are so thoroughly worked over by constant and omnipresent scams that they now see anything which benefits another person as merely a scam that they are not in on
