RIP to a real one.

YOU ASKED FOR IT FOR SEVEN YEARS --- IT'S FINALLY HERE! DUMPSTER RACCOON CINEMA proudly presents the long-rumored DIRECTOR’S CUT of 1990s beloved cult classic bomb, CAPTAIN AMERICA (1990) – with SPECIAL GUEST (and POSTER ARTIST!) comic superstar writer CHIP ZDARSKY! revuecinema.ca/films/dumpst...

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.

I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.

I'm 20 hours in and yes Yakuza 0 is as good as everyone said it was. And yes I should have started playing these games years ago. As someone who put hours and hours into Shenmue on my Dreamcast 20 years ago, these games feel right to me.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

"The housing crisis is because of the illegal immigrants" they say and their base keep drinking that sweet sweet koolaid...

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

So the guy selling COVID supplies to the government was hoping for more intense COVID waves, a direct outcome of policy decisions by a government he influenced through dozens of channels.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Started watching episodes of Fearful Symmetry from the @dungeonscrawlers.bsky.social and it is such a treat. Decided to do some drawing for fun tonight and sketched out some fanart of @rhiannonheld.bsky.social ‘s character Artemisia.

The dance scene that went viral in Wednesday season 1 is such a great example of why old people need to let go of the reigns of pop culture.

Old timers will remember when anime had routinely very very bad dubs with extremely amateurish performances. But we hit a golden age where in so many cases the dub really was just as good as watching subbed! AI has made everything worse -- worse subs, and now: worse dubs. Much, much worse.

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely. They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things. Only you have the power to kill it.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

Remember, the big argument for AI in the arts is that these “artists” have ideas, hundreds of ideas, thousands, all that was stopping them was the hoards of gatekeeping musicians, writers, illustrators… and not that they were lazy and didn’t want to put in the work.

It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

I placed an order with @skipthedish.bsky.social over an hour ago. The wait time on the tracker still says 99 minutes. I called the restaurant -- the food is made, they've been waiting an hour for a driver to be dispatched. I can't cancel an order once the restaurant has accepted it. WTF?

It's amazing how so fucking many institutions complied with fascism when pretty much every time someone goes "fuck you, make me" the government goes "oh no we made an oopsie, we didn't mean to say that, birthday boy did a lil poopsie oopsie"

Because you can't sell it overseas.

Why do AI illustrations always use that same font? It's pretty much a dead giveaway every time.

It can't just be on the teachers and professors. Parents and other members of the community need to stand with them.

Ahh yes, the classic question: Horror or thriller? We ask this as we watch THE COUCH (1962) from director Owen Crump! The film stars Grant Williams, Shirley Knight, and Onslow Stevens, with a screenplay by PSYCHO author Robert Bloch. This one's for you, @thekylemarshall.bsky.social!

It's the first Spanish horror film, GRITOS EN LA NOCHE aka SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT (1962) from director Jesús Franco! How does he balance delivering exposition versus exploitation? By making different versions -- a censored Spanish release, and an explicit French release aka L'HORRIBLE DOCTEUR ORLOFF!

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Donald Duck is a man who is depicted as a duck. Daffy Duck is a duck who walks and talks like a man. I hope this clears things up.

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

there was an amazing article about exactly this somewhere in the old days where everyone was paid well and was unionized, this chart was reversed, living expenses were cheap but luxuries like TVs and whatnot were what you had to save up for. You could live a comfortable life if you were frugal

So, it's been years since I've used an Adobe product to open a PDF, I just typically view it in my browser. But I am working on a computer with Adobe Suite rn and holy cow was I not prepared for how bad Adobe Acrobat is at viewing the file type Adobe invented.

The prologue of GoldenEye being set in 1986 with Pierce Brosnan as Bond means it takes place in that brief period of 1986 when Brosnan was awarded the part before Remington Steele was renewed and he had to back out, leading to Timothy Dalton becoming Bond. In this insane diatribe, I will...

This moral radicalization happened at all levels in the Union army, very much including Ulysses S. Grant. A lot of Northerners needed to SEE it to become true believers in the cause. But they did. It’s all there if you listen to the lyrics to The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

I literally thought this was an Onion article at first. I didn't think Trump could still shock me.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.' people.com/donald-trump...

There is a panic in my heart that wants to scream, "Please don't hate me!" and I have no idea what's causing it other than a vague fear I'm not going to get all my work done on time.

It makes total sense to me that Trump would love Phantom of the Opera - they were both a big deal in New York in 1988.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc… 1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work 2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

I’m well beyond “why apply,” I’m at “I cannot in good conscience apply.” Gift link to the NYT piece on the NEH’s awarded projects since it was gutted: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/a...

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is NYT: but her emails

I know I'm dumb as hell, but it feels like I'm at least smarter than so many people who make way more money than me so I should be able to figure out something to do that makes more money
