i just want to wake up to a playlist of my songs from spotify. my iphone wont do it. my google home wont do it without ANNOUNCING WHAT ITS PLAYING FIRST and it never plays the right playlist

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

I have often felt extremely cynical about the idea that "food brings people together." this dinner felt like a very informational stress test of it.

update: tiktok flagged my video about heated rivalry and denied my appeal! you cannot say gay on tiktok in videos from….december?

it is once again time for me to complain that the olympics should just be 4 weeks long and mix the paralympics in. people will watch if it gets the same hype!

girl what are we doing

sometimes i forget that the things my mom says are fucking insane bc me saying "yeah my mom joked that she'd be fine if my dad got deported bc then she doesnt have to deal with him anymore" got my therapist to audibly gasp

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

Please follow us here if you are interested in the project! Every expression of interest, every RT and post helps a TON.

"Knowing where ICE will go next is not the same as stopping the agency’s campaign of cruelty and violence. But it gives communities time to prepare for a surge of immigration enforcement in their streets." read @brbarrett.bsky.social on our story about ICE's expansion across the US:

Every fucking company is like "hey guys you know that thing we make? That we are famous for? Well we're not doing it anymore. Here's a chatbot that'll tell you to drink bleach instead. You're welcome"

pathetic levels off the charts

Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon paying influencers $400k-$600k to post months of AI hype content. Absolutely busted, failed industry, embarrassing era www.cnbc.com/2026/02/06/g...

this may be the most English man ever to exist.

ahem: *US-supplied* thermal and thermobaric munitions

they could’ve reinvented the subgenre through diversifying what “historical romance” even meant and created trends instead of trying to chase them but instead they do this….

Today in "leaving money on the table"

I've never wanted something to flop harder than this fucking misbegotten television show for transphobic 42-year-olds

A reminder that you cannot separate the art from the artist when the artist receives money from every single associated purchase and outright says that you are directly agreeing with and supporting her violent anti-trans ideology by continuing to engage with Harry Potter in any form

US-supplied internationally prohibited thermal & thermobaric munitions burning at 3,500C have left no trace of nearly 3,000 Palestinians, @aljazeera.com reveals. “We found nothing of Saad. Not even a body to bury. That was the hardest part,” says one mother. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

i got so mad about this article that i blogged about it aftermath.site/ai-romance-n...

SCOOP: Tensions at Palantir have grown in recent weeks over the company's work with ICE. On Friday, CEO Alex Karp tried to calm concerns in an hourlong video that offered few specifics—instead offering NDAs to workers who want to understand how it's empowering ICE. www.wired.com/story/palant...

i think what bothers me most about wuthering heights is how obviously it is just rage bait for the attention economy. they knew it would cause controversy and people would go see it out of morbid interest. it’s all just so sad

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is Emerald Fennell's worst film to date. A completely soulless, messy, misinterpretation of the source in favor for a(n even more vanilla) FIFTY SHADES reskin for the "I Can Fix Him" audience. My #WutheringHeightsMovie review here: www.rendyreviews.com/movie-review...

“I’m telling you this because right now, Hachette’s website is all about book bans: how wrong they are, and how readers like you can (and must) do your part to stop them.” @jaywillis.net on the hypocrisy of Hachette publishing noted book banner Sam Alito’s new book: open.substack.com/pub/ballsand...

Ofc he is tbh my only surprise is that he has not already done this

absolutely loathed WUTHERING HEIGHTS, peak literacy crisis movie

“Wuthering Heights” is not a romance. It is a gothic novel about vengeance, cruelty, oppression and psychological obsession. It is not a “love story”. I will die on this hill.

Here's a review of the dull, dumb Wuthering Heights www.premiereparty.com/p/wuthering-...

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

you know what's cheaper and safer than a ring camera? a fake camera. I've had one since my last porch theft three years ago and it even fooled the eye of a cop trying to get me to snitch on my neighbors. you can't subpoena a recording that doesnt exist.

a commercial promoting ai.com and ai.com/elon and it immediately crashing is a pretty good way to describe Elon's entire existence. 10/10 ad

lol whatever the AI dot com Super Bowl ad is about, the website doesn’t even work… tells ya everything you need to know!

Laughing at the people who seem to think that the halftime show that took place in the sugarcane fields wasn’t political

Bad Bunny invited Ricky Martin to sing the chorus of ‘LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii’ one week after the latter praised the former for his speech at the Grammy Awards.

We owe the existence of the modern half time show to Black people.

Pretty sure hell is just a never ending loop of weight loss ads

If you were hoping for some sort of overt political statement: see the literal plantation Benito created to perform in.

“Mr. Beast Salesforce ad” - they’re calling it the least appealing phrase ever assembled in any language. They finally did it

Using Mr. Rogers in a Super Bowl commercial for mortgages should result in prison time

CHARLIZE THERON QUOTING NELSON MANDELA??? girl what is this opening ceremony this is EMBARRASSING

president of IAC being like lets all celebrate kindness…but i let ISRAEL play

why did the nbc broadcast of the olympic opening ceremonies cut half the countries and spend half of it on team USA promo im TIRED

“why wasnt lin-manuel miranda there” there’s a reason puertoriqueños of benito’s politics do NOT like him
