"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

lmfao, amazing

It's a whole genre it's beautiful

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

This is why no one intelligent should back newsom. His actions are being used as a cudgel to ban trans care

very weird feeling watching a seemingly coked out president yell at you for 20 minutes straight

Josh O’Connor calls THE LAST JEDI “so beautiful.” “The end of that movie - how anyone could be a Jedi... I just remember seeing that movie in the cinemas and I wept of that last image with the boy. It’s just one of the most iconic images in cinema” (Source: @letterboxd)

Gavin Newsom is Mitt Romney for the Democrats, a department store mannequin who will lose in a general election

Can't stress enough how important this is. bsky.app/profile/taul...

Yeah, this ain't it, chief. This is a Democratic Party that wants some of that sweet Trump corruption, not an opposition party that wants real change we desperately need.

I write words. Words are written. Words that form writing. Words to the wise. Word to your mother. Word to your father too. Have you heard? The bird is the word. My word is bond. Bond, James Bond. I, too, was shaken, if not stirred. Shaken by my words. The words I write. Because I write words. Word.

its not a god, it's a keyboard

this is similar to what I've come to think of as the "reverse turing test" when people find synthetic text is "good enough" to complete a task (homework, business report, email) it doesn't mean the machine is smart. it means they were asked to produce something that didn't matter it's diagnostic

Movie theaters forever

ive pointed this out before but southerners said the same shit about yankees in 1860

these stupid assholes think they’re going to be able to have a firefight in the morning, walk away from a cool explosion at lunch and take the family out to chili’s for dinner and I cannot stress enough that is not what civil war looks like

It's the 160th anniversary of the United States' refounding, the ratification of the 13th Amendment.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

when your 20 year old space company is valued at 800 billion dollars and you're still blowing out shares to keep the lights on (and pay employees), you don't have a real company. hth this bubble popping will be spectacular

This is the greatest example of centrism I've ever seen. Centrism is a slogan, an empty set of words devoid of any meaning. Centrists will do everything to keep from doing anything. It is a form of political nihilism. It's maddening.

If you actually have to do work, AI often just makes more work because you have to spend so much time making sure it didn't lie to you again.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

i’m not sure how but this is real antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/10...

Kash posted about the arrest of John Paul Cupp in threatening ICE officers, calling him a "protester out of Portland." Misleading, as he has a mental illness history, compares himself to Bin Laden and Timothy McVeigh, is barred from contacting his wife and kids, posts about eradicating Jewish people

guys i dont think i defrosted my turkey right

Post a movie where you are from.

ME: "Everything on Fakebook is fake. Fakebook rewards and profits from fake everything. It's so bad, you have to be skeptical of everything and everyone, including your so-called friends." MOM: "It's really sad that you don't trust anyone." Wild fucking shit. Absolutely bonkers and unhinged.

I expect this from X, but how much of Fakebook is this shit. How do you know your "friends" are real? How do you know what they are saying is real? If your answer is simply "vibes," you've got a problem.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

"In fact, Platner is a leftist intellectual’s idea of a working-class man, or rather, the idea of a working-class man that’s envisioned by children of affluence who turned to leftist politics as some kind of recompense, or who see in him something that’s lacking in themselves."

Death by Lightning conclusions: Episode 4! It wrapped up nicely. I've got no beef with changing facts to suit the storytelling needs of an adaptation. I am not criticizing the show—more historically based dramas of this quality, please! In terms of history—hoo boy. Did it diverge. Yow. 1/14

Hiding in the woods like bitches People from North Carolina don’t play; they’ll find out about North Carolina very soon.

Me betting on who will be in the news today

Meanwhile, MAGA is still pretending that trans women are the real bathroom threat.

This showed up in my Tumblr feed and now y'all have to see it too

Incredibly smart PR tactic from ICE to continue assaulting very handsome priests

I know the real concern is the lack of journalistic integrity but I think the real crime here is seeing this face and thinking to yourself "yes I need more of that" His eyes don't even line up. This is a clear case of royals inbreeding

Even funnier if you read this in Morgan Freeman’s voice

They’re calling her Megyn R. Kelly on TikTok

Up until that point you'd describe him as instinctively conservative, whose antisemitism was not especially egregious for his time. He had beliefs a lot of non-genocidal dictators had. That was until he was convinced a bunch of commie Jews stabbed Germany in the back. Doesn't sound genetic to me.

About the Hitler diagnosis thing: this is one of the most rigorously studied people of all time. We know what kind of guy he was every step of the way. And he was relatively normal, the sort of failson we've all met, until Germany lost WW1. That radicalized him. When he was 29.
