I don’t know what the fuck a baseball is

American broadcast journalism has utterly failed and is a dead industry, there's nothing left worth saving

1. Japanese anime going from a condescendingly treated curiosity to being accepted as part of the world cinema canon 1b. People other than Miyazaki getting the auteur treatment (Oshii, Kon, Anno) 2. Michael Mann’s star rising (I feel like his influence on Nolan’s Batman did a lot here)

beatles conspiracy theorist who believes in the "paul is dead" lore but thinks he faked his death

Does feel like some divine punishment that the President elected to "make things cheaper" keeps unilaterally pressing the "make shit expensive" button

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do. In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap. Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

“I’ll kill you in front of your students.” This is just one of the death threats that has driven @mark-bray.bsky.social to try and flee the US. But at the airport last night, after checking in and clearing security, his booking mysteriously disappeared www.wired.com/story/mark-b...

When will the opposition learn that wasting your time on vapid MAGA engagement bait is not being informed, it’s pointless masochism

Why does everything made by white people between 25 and 40 look like Invincible Fight Girl now

COOL PAYWALL on this article about a professor falsely accused of being a member of something that doesn’t exist who tried to flee the country and his flight got canceled! (it says login for free to keep reading but then says you gotta be a paid sub)

To expand on this, I’ve come to the belief that it’s impossible to spend any time driving without taking moderate-to-severe psychic damage from the accumulation of interactions with other drivers that make clear how selfish everyone has become. I *never* feel better after driving.

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "don't worry, my treatment is to die for," and shoots him twice in the head. Excellent work, 47.

Godzilla is an agent of destituent power

if this isn't civil war i'm not sure what is

Me: republicans are nazi germany Libs: hell yeah, preach, say it louder for the people in the back Me: and democrats are vichy france Libs: now wait just a goshdarn minute buddy

A hyper capital digital society is an authoritarian society and the destruction of public goods and third spaces were the vanguard. The atomization and exploitation of your time and cognitive space is only the beginning of the cognitive colonization going on.

Baudrillard spinning in grave so quickly he could power all of Paris. @utopia-defer.red

I am beginning to think that perhaps being terminally online was not the correct move for the resistance

You know what they say: if you want to win a war, just give up on every battle, let the enemy dictate terms, and let your people die and surely you'll take it in the long game!

And no. You do NOT need to RSVP for a No Kings protest. Hell, we’d prefer if you didn’t register - or at least make a burner account if you want to help give organizers a crowd size estimate (for like, food and water). If anyone is telling you have to register, they’re wrong. You do NOT have to.

The problem here is that liberals live in a world of idealism. They think the optics are real and material reality is made up from whatever message they can convince you with. They don't understand that we see our paychecks and grocery bills and housing costs all the time and they matter more.

All my homies are on at least one deranged shitlib blocklist

🧵 Want to support #Portland, #Chicago, #LA, #DC, and other cities facing federal occupation? Read this thread to find out how. MEDIA: A great way to support right now is to raise awareness about the actual realities of the cities targeted. It isn't about crime, it's a war on political ememies

Pissing off everyone by making an American Pop isekai where 80s Coke guy gets hit by Rudy Giuliani and gets sent to Fritz the Cat as a furry

I… actually don’t hate this decision? I have no nostalgia for either Moomin or Steven Universe, but I honestly couldn’t think of a better pick

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

a competent authoritarian regime would understand that maintaining good relationships with local security forces is an absolute top priority, because things can get very bad for the regime in a hurry if metro police decide they’re the enemy

Think about how all the biggest billionaire sex pest freaks are those few who survived the dot com bust. And how when the AI bubble even more violently pops, a new generation of pre-composted overnight billionaire failson fuckups will be a scourge for the quarter century afterward.

Graveyard shifts make your imagination more beefy

I don't think I was born the kind of animal capable of confronting the infinite cruelty and stupidity of this world, and I consider myself an exceptionally cruel and stupid animal, so however you people deal with it is absolutely beyond me.

In the 2010s magical girl series Symphogear, recurring villain Dr. John Wayne Vercingetorix was deliberately animated without the use of reference sheets per the director’s orders. I think about this sometimes

The movie you like is… actually… bad (Drives off on a Harley, dies)

mikazuki, orga, biscuit, and this jrpg villain we found

Marching without a political objective and you're still playing in the oppressor's sandbox.

LMFAOOOOO STOP

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Ralph Bakshi solved fantasy with Wizards. You just shoot a warlock when he’s not looking

After a couple listens, I think I might like this better than Boulez’s own recording. Barenboim kinda lets shit breathe

It's neither. He's simply creating a calculated pretext to justify violence against political enemies. They teach it on the first day in dictator school.

All but absolute pacifists should probably define their limit NOW, lest our frog be slowly boiled.

ok so the cost of living in america and western europe is too high and employers don't want to pay it. but they also want to raise prices of all consumer goods untiil nobody can afford them. what happens next may shock you
