Hie thee to hell for shame, and leave this world, Thou cacodemon, there thy kingdom is.

Disney's furious backtracking doesn't change the underlying problem but I am looking forward to Kimmel's opening monologue tomorrow night.

No matter what he cancels he can’t cancel himself off the Epstein list.

The world is dumb

I didn’t deserve this.

Deadline executive editor Dominic Patten said that he's hearing Disney may back down after public backlash over the yanking of ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

I’m sure all the standup comedians who have been ranting about censorship the last few years are going to take to the streets any minute now.

"we need to boycott this thing, we need to cancel that thing" my brother in christ, we can't even get people to stop posting on twitter lol

I cannot stress this enough: do not use email for organizing. Set strict retention so emails delete after a short period of time. Assume every Big Tech company will rat you out to the gestapo without lifting a finger to protect your rights theintercept.com/2025/09/16/g...

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

fbi puts another one in the books. closing the case the way most crime is solved: someone calls and tells them who did it.

WAIT A MINUTE

big day to be reminded that so many people are dumb as rocks

I think it's fucked up that so many people on here who post valuable information in images, screenshots and infographics that could potentially save lives don't key in on what is happening in this current moment in time and think, 'perhaps the visually impaired also deserve this information.'

I saw the video in the minutes afterwards, when I was just scrolling through breaking news

people can post whatever hateful eliminationist rhetoric they like about Palestinians & the mods won't do shit, but if you imply a brownshirt propagandist was anything but a freedom loving salt of the earth hero they'll ban your ass before the post even hits the timeline lol

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

I think one root of the left's problems is that its politicians & pundits choose to talk about their rightwing counterparts as if their political differences boil down bickering about the tax code when in reality many on the right would cheerfully deny ANYONE to the left of them basic human rights.

Important to remember that some people don’t deserve mourning.

Chicago has violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by failing to keep sidewalks, crosswalks and curb ramps accessible to people with disabilities, a lawsuit filed against the city alleges.

We told you that this was not about *woke* or *cancel culture* for YEARS. This was DOMINANCE CULTURE ie WHITE SUPREMACY. PERIOD. Please listen to the folks who were saying this for years and ignore those who said the opposite.

✅ Worked against AI.

he packed prisons full of people who got caught smoking a joint after a long day at work, i dont care what happens to this silverback ape

“If people really want Trump to suffer consequences for Epstein you’d have to give up Bill Clinton.” Okay. Deal. Drag the whole fucking creep crew in. Let’s go.

hands off our neighbors, our schools, our streets, our best city

I’m excited to announce that I’m hitting the road with @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social next month to celebrate our new book THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT! Come on out and join us! Pre-order your copy here: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I also said that he would never be imprisoned and people yelled at me. I knew I was correct so I just drank water and kept it moving. The US punishment does not exist to imprison its Presidents. Other countries do that.

my favorite thing about going to the doctor is when they spend 5 seconds with you and shrug and then you get to spend a month playing "do I owe a million dollars" roulette every time you get mail

fans are dumb as rocks and have no idea what they want, giving nerds and dorks "what they want" is a recipe for dogshit

I hate every single politician and anti-vaxxer who created this culture. They have all been vaccinated but they want to children to suffer and die because they have so much hubris they think they can outwit science with raw milk & turmeric. A pox on their houses. May they be fucking haunted forever.

It’s possible you might want to read my poem in the new issue of Bennington Review taken almost entirely from lines in the @nytimes.com that begin with “Scientists say…”? www.benningtonreview.org/fourteen-mei... #ecopoetry #poetry

Regarding the tragic death of Adam Raine, there are already narratives forming that blame vague "dangers of AI" or a broader moral panic. But this is not a story about the faceless perils of superintelligence. It's about a $500 billion tech company's core software product encouraging child suicide.

over over and over "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity"

With the AJC dropping its print edition, I feel compelled to share one of the greatest moments in print design history
