Its infuriating to know how much of the American public actually has changed its mind about a lot of things people used to pretend were set in stone but its still not enough to change anything yet because our "democracy" is an utter sham

"Never judge a book by its cover" is a good idiom when talking about people but for all art that has a literal cover it sucks because I have discovered so many great movies, TV shows, books and albums just by being like "damn that cover rules"

Free newsletter: NVIDIA Isn't Enron, so what is it? My 15k word guide to Wall Street's messiah - how it makes money, how its future relies on endless debt, how millions of GPUs are sitting waiting to be installed, and why it no longer makes sense to buy more GPUs. www.wheresyoured.at/nvidia-isnt-...

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

The only thing about right wingers that makes me almost feel sorry for them is how they think TV shows, movies and especially ads are real life and not a distortion of it meant to sell them things, like it is so sad that they are chronological adults and still are manipulated by commercials

Right wing ideology should be immediately discarded by any rational being the moment you show them this insane tweet

Oh sweet we purging the mystics again? Love to alienate huge swathes of the world by being a hall monitor ass herb bitch to fellow Marxists because I don't believe in God or follow organized religion and they do. Great use of my and everyone else's time!

BREAKING: At least 373 Palestinians have been killed and 970 wounded since the start of the ceasefire in October, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ro90fr

Just the “Democratic” Governor of Colorado endorsing the writing of an outright Nazi. I hate it here

"Stop this nonsense. No one wants this."

i dont want to live in a world that values gambling apps and ai i want to live in a world that celebrates mustard and puppets

In addition to all the government officials, ICE agents, etc who are directly carrying out Trump's fascism, every CEO, University admin and anyone else in the private sector who chose to buddy up to him or even aid and abet him needs to pay

please? i just need some help

Every year they fail to put Barry Bonds in the HOF is another link in the chain of irrelevance pulling baseball writers down and demonstrating why no one should give a shit what they think

Great video from Second Thought featuring @brian-goldstone.bsky.social youtu.be/_ayGa5uPLHg?...

Either this site is so janky that blocks sometimes just break or the mods are making some accounts unblockable or making them time limited because I know I blocked Newsom's dumbass meme machine account already and just had to do it again

I don't want social goods like medicine to be "affordable," I want them to be free

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Lina. Lina was forced to flee South at the beginning of the war with her sons Hasan, 10 and Mahmoud, 4, leaving her husband. She found out she was pregnant with Liza she gave birth alone and when she returned her home was destroyed.

One of the many reasons for concern about the killing spree at sea is that the administration is effectively asserting a license for POTUS to kill outside the law those he labels “terrorists.” A term this administration also applies to domestic political opponents.

When the cost of housing goes up, remember, the capitalists & central banks that provided this $77 billion provided other tranches of capital to buy up housing.

University of Oklahoma has removed another professor because they said they would excuse students who wanted to attend the protest against the firing of the FIRST professor (the one who failed the student for the bad essay)

If I was in The Shining, I would have gotten the job done. Not because I'm more evil than Jack Torrance, I'm just smarter and more capable, with a faster top speed.

some actor who looked a lot like mel brooks had a cameo in Death By Lightning so i googled to see if it was him and got this really helpful search result

Even if this was true--and I question the premise that there are a lot of Jewish Americans who don't know what the Jordan River is--this kind of condescending "if you think murder is wrong name five of their albums" stuff is exactly why they lost the kids

We have a saying in our home.

Netflix, which rarely carries a single movie from before 1980, wants you to know how thrilled they are to acquire that classic piece of franchise IP, Casablanca

I'm not saying life is a vicious circle. But it may be a cruel rhombus. Or a callous trapezoid. At the very least, life is a bloodthirsty parallelogram

One of the better interviews with me you’re likely to read. They gotta send me more grad student interviewers

God dammit why did it take me this long to get around to watching Alexei Sayle

“He’s a human being!”

maybe given the current political situation, finding things about which to say “the president has a point” is not only not a good look but actively bad and fucked up? Maybe maybe resist the impulse to say “well I agree with this chump” and find something else to talk about instead?

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

Thank you for your service, ham sniffers.

My pet medieval knight is actually very friendly once you get to know him. He gets so excited when I send him off on quests and he loves it when I feed him chopped-up spaghetti through the little hole in his visor. He did execute my postman yesterday but we're going to work on that.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Bilal. Bilal was a software developer before this who worked on sites like Upwork. He is living in tents with his family of 19 including many nieces and nephews and his children Muhammad, 6, Hour, 2 and little Fares who is just 40 days old.

based as fuck this should just be standard practice at every entertainment studio at this point

Like I saw a video recently about apps that let you gamble on your fucking DEBTS. Hey! You in debt? Wanna go even DEEPER in debt? Like the word “degeneracy” gets thrown around too lightly these days, but this is ACTUALLY degenerate.

😕

That "Temu peace prize" reveals the president as a toddler, and our techbro billionaire overlords are toddlers too. I've posted this before, but it's important - see Cory Doctorow's essay on "surveillance infantilism" here: doctorow.medium.com/https-plural...

in the movies this is the screensaver on the computers at the world’s most evil company

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

it's been 2 weeks since saying goodbye to George. Many thanks for kind wishes & mutual aid. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck in both depressive & financial holes as a result (+ end of month + kid's bday ugh etc). Please help if you can ($$ info in quoted tweet)

When he shows you who he is, believe him. www.usatoday.com/story/travel...

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.
