there is something about getting a bad haircut from a stylist who botches your hairline, treats you like an idiot who doesn't understand how clippers work, and makes so little effort to help clean you up that half your face and neck are black from hair clippings that feels devastatingly humiliating

If you're not outraged, you should be

One of the reasons why the ongoing meltdown about Zohran asking people to set their A/C to 78 bothers me is that it seems to be a symptom of post-COVID unwillingness for individuals to do anything for the common good, and if we don’t have that we’re in a very bad place as a society.

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

so many beautiful anime girls are named “skeb”

To my understanding, this is an accurate summation of the state of schism:

THE VATICAN IS CALLING IT A SCHISM I REPEAT HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SCHISM

this countrys fetish for punishing those we decide are unworthy of help at the expense of all of us is so completely bat shit

anyways: hi guys!!!! I know I am hardly around anymore. life is weird as usual, my mom just had shoulder surgery, I am still a workaholic, our new VP seems to think I'm jesus jr (mgr 🐟 is jesus sr), and I'm still so obsessed with gay hockey I forgot about hotd this week

they found like 16 kids chained in a basement and cleveland I am trying to shut down my mom's feral need to give me hourly updates on the investigation by telling her I cannot help but think about what if our grief over my dad's murder had hourly updates on live tv mom please stop!

I may yet see pope v antipope in my lifetime

c suite bitches are babies because they clearly have no sense of object permanence. if they did that would have seen how well this went with the publishing, music, AND film industries

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

my thoughts on this morning's playstation announcement: 1) fuck you sony 2) you are so not prepared for call of duty, madden, nba2k, and fifa sales going down the toilet as people realize they can get a comparable experience with google play store slop

OH MY GOD??????????????

Per last repost, I do think that in the US a lot of people, like a LOT of people, do not realize that if a birth certificate is no longer proof of citizenship then most of us have no proof of citizenship. At all.

a lot of writers and podcasters need to learn that they are not entitled to freely adapt any book they take a liking to. do you want to tell an existing story in a new medium? cool. talk to the author. collaborate with them if they want. license it if they're interested. or start from scratch.

Reposting because of the sony news

god if you're real and you love us please this would be the funniest thing to happen in all 5000 years of human history (second would be the uk pm and the pig)

I heard Donald Trump can’t hold his antifreeze

If we had forums still with archives to read this wouldn't be happening as much

whenever he is sitting around looking upset we've started calling him "Upsetti Spaghetti, the Italian cat" and i'm pretty sure it just makes him madder

I bent over to pet him, forgot I was holding an open bottle of water, and poured it all over the floor in front of him. now he is just staring at me like this

Also, it's long past time to retire vulgar Marxist arguments about how racism and nativism are just a tool that the capitalist class is using to divide the working class. This stuff is not a distraction. It is a central motivating and binding force in politics, both in the US and elsewhere.

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

i assume they must exist but i must be honest i have not seen any posts about how there are too many sex scenes in movies so every time the timeline rises up to bravely declare sex in movies is good i'm like word. who are you talking to

A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here. There’s no language processing happening, the AI/ML is not trained on a corpus of texts or language. It can detect ink to see shapes. HUMAN EXPERTS are then transcribing the text.

this whole online ID verification push stuff is turning me into a weird crank at rapid speed because I've never seen such an unpopular policy forced through with such speed in so many countries simultaneously with basically zero real consent from any population, just pure elite collusion

this is what discourse in the house of the dragon fandom is like

90% of modern media criticism just sounds like this

I saw the Utena movie in a theatre without having seen anything Utena before and I feel like I just glimpsed the bedrock underlying 30 years of lesbian fiction

this machine kills fascists

Not now, tiny particle that could erase the universe at any moment

Yeah, that’s the America I grew up in. When I say the anti-trans playbook now is the same playbook as they ran in the 90s against gay people, I mean the SAME

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, or, "what if each Kardashian had a nuclear-capable jet fighter?"

you just can’t make this stuff up

#hotdspoilers alicent when she marries into the incest family, gets all huffy about her lesbian situationship shacking up with her own uncle, makes her own son and daughter marry each other, and then her psychopathic manchild adult son with the biggest nuke in living history kisses her:

Happy Dimilix Week, still thinking about this and also this

"Dimitri's not my friend." Felix says, squinting at the teacher. It was a simple enough assignment - just a drawing of yourselves and friends and, as far as Felix can tell, he's fulfilled it even if it was dumb. "He's not?" The professor stares. "No. We're married. He's my wife."

For years, the boar prince and I were inseparable. I know him better than almost anyone else. So let me give you some advice. Beneath all that princely polish, he's an animal, nothing more. He's strong and skilled, sure. But don't place your trust in him as a human being. Take care he doesn't chew y
