Yeah, I’ve never quite got over the profound moral injury aspect of watching so many Americans absolutely refuse to even mildly sacrifice to help others during Covid - watching MAGAs somehow become even more evil was radicalizing. And now the bastards are trying to destroy MRNA research.

They did it. They’ve really finally recreated the experience of trying to enjoy superhero comics. This is the most expensive “[Ish #215 -Ed.]” ever brought to pass

Disney made the movie Frozen so when you googled "Walt Disney frozen", it would show results for the movie instead of the urban legend that Walt Disney cryogenically froze his head

"what if stagger lee was a goofus with bad aim" is a weird idea for a sequel, but if someone wants to try and record it, i'd listen

Never forget that Sam Harris is calipers-and-Bell Curve levels of racist against black people, but he is Rivers of Blood-and-nuke the Middle East levels of racist against Muslims.

people who say this act like if they weren't at the airport they'd be at home curing cancer. what exactly are your big plans for your extra 45 minutes at home you fuckin loser

WERNER HERZOG CAMEO TALKING ABOUT HIS LOVE OF THE CATATONIC LINDA MCMAHON STORYLINE YET AGAIN!!! LET'S. FUCKING. GO. (I'm disappointed that he didn't call Vince "the owner of the wrestling concern" this time, though.)

Just linking to this thread for now and whenever the next time the UAP people start yapping louder than usual.

and then you end up with men staring at goats and somebody in CIA drafting the MJ12 docs as part of a disinfo program and the FBI investigating it as if it might be true and Harry Reid is funding DARPA research at Skinwalker Ranch

I think there's a feedback loop that starts pretty early- wealthy & powerful people get into spiritualism & theosophy, which informs Weird Tales pulp, then morphs into the Shaver Mysteries, which become a framework for UFOlogy, and in turn influences actual US govt programs and so on.

Campbell is partially responsible for all the psychic junk in sci-fi—so is Hubbard—but "US soldiers are turning against us in Vietnam even though everything is fine over there, the Soviets must have a Beam" kept ESP stuff alive well into the 80s

The last few days I've been thinking about sci-fi, Vietnam, the CIA's "brainwashing gap" (which didn't exist), and how things would've developed if US intelligence agencies hadn't scrambled to fight the completely made-up Soviet psychic menace

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

HAD to press play when I saw that thumbnail www.youtube.com/watch?v=STh7...

And this is why Rhea "Queen of Queerbaiting" Ripley is 4x champion

This is like all the people who voted for Trump but turned on him because they hate gas prices right now. Eat a dick.

Just absolute abysmal dogshit. The bed size didn't even change and it is now simply vestigial

How can you not be romantic about baseball

You could do a whole-assed New Year's week trip to Japan for NOAH at Budokan, Wrestle Kingdom, New Year's Dash, and whatever indie shows you want to check out in the Tokyo metro area for a fraction of what way too many are paying for WrestleMania. Why are these people paying, like, farewell tour $?

a reminder as you hear the crowd in Vegas chanting "thank you Brock" for whatever eason.

Zhinxy's account may have been mysteriously suspended, but we cannot let Superman Day pass without her cherished copy of Lois Lane #80. It was altered by a previous owner so that the iconic Curt Swan superman is a beatnik saying "Hey, baby, cool off!" She would save it in a fire.

This is so ludicrously, Rick-and-Morty-copypasta-level cringe that I would feel guilty if I didn't black out the posters name. (Please don't look for it).

Marwan Barghouti is the most popular Palestinian alive and has expressed support for a partition along the pre June 1967 borders into a separate state. Barghouti has been in Israeli jail for two decades and is routinely tortured and even threatened with murder by Israeli politicians and guards.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

CHARLIE BROWN: Yes mistress, you're right, mistress, I'm a blockhead! a hopeless blockhead! DOMINATRIX: wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

Obviously did not watch, but you can always tell a WWE show was really "special" when Tony does one of these tweets immediately after it ends.

This is fucking slander. The Worker vs Parasite has a clear sense of who is the good guy, has a grasp of basic psychology (the good guy is smaller than his opponent), and a clear understanding of the issue between them (the global march of the proletariat against the capital)

WHAT

i'm deleting this post. since posting it i watched some more basketball and it turns out this is pretty much always what happens

WHAT THE FUCK, THAT DIDN'T TOUCH THE RIM

Sam Harris is a racist. And this has been expressed primarily through Islamophobia and Zionism, right back to The End of Faith where he mindlessly regurgitated lies about the Palestinians and the Nazis that he got from plagiarist and pro-Israel propagandist Alan 'kept his underwear on' Dershowitz.

The fucking nerve of this crowd to chant "refs you suck."

Nelson Mandela blew up buildings. With, you know, bombs. These people have such a love affair with an idealized form of nonviolence they'll hear about some figure who fought for people's rights successfully and immediately assume that must mean he was nonviolent, lol

Zaza Rule not as dumb as the Anthony Barr rule, but it's close.

Just a little reminder that security experts routinely say that biometrics are actually do very poorly as a security measure. Not just for technical reasons, either. Imagine a password that you can't change after being informed it was compromised in a hack on a company that forgot to encrypt shit.

It’s genuinely wild how this is like a common enough way to “de-gay” young gay boys that hooters waitresses can spot it from a mile out

What do people actually think Nelson Mandela and Gandhi were demanding, vis-a-vis the South African and British governments, respectively? Because it wasn't demilitarized quasi-autonomous economic enterprise zones under foreign security supervision.

Triple H, a true C+ player

ESPN wanted to start with WrestleMania, but WWE really wanted to mess with All Out so they rushed to launch. AEW had the better show & the better buyrate that day, and it's been all downhill since then.

Andreas also covered the recent Janel Grant affidavit that implicated Nick Khan!

WWE gets letter grades removed from Andreas's reviews because they're that petty. WWE stops granting interviews to ESPN digital for 6+ months because they're that petty. ESPN breaks promise of Unlimited for YouTube TV subscribers in time for WrestleMania. WWE freezes Andreas out of WM access.

🧵: Let's review the WWE/ESPN relationship so far: WWE deliberately antagonizes ESPN w/ Stephanie's VPN ad. WWE gets sued for using ESPN's broken messaging Re: Unlimited since subscribers can't sue ESPN. PLE viewership crashes. WWE freaks out over Andreas Hale's letter grades. (Continued...)

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
