ever notice how every giant fandom becomes a toxic cesspool full of drama and resentment towards the creator of the work they're all obsessing over, hmm almost like centering your life around a piece of media is not healthy

why are so many people surprised that james cameron is MAGA

You know what makes *me* feel like I’m speaking to a toddler? When I have to explain to other adults repeatedly that vaguely defined censorship laws lead to overbroad censorship and the chilling of free speech

Christ democrats are such feckless fucking losers

It’s really telling that America built its identity off of a genocidal maniac who was also really into bestiality

Reminder that Lisa Simpson was born in 2018 (the character is canonically 8 years old in present day). She has only known the Trump era. Bart (always 10) was born in 2016, his baby photos taken with an iPhone 7. Homer, 39, graduated high school around 2005. He's a millennial.

lol jfc emerald fennell went to the same school as ghislaine maxwell (Not at the same time obvs)

Modern slashers fail because they’re not weird enough. They’re either trying too hard to be cool or are too explicit in the “is this a sex thing?” subtext.

YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN is a really bizarre film. it's adam sandler losing weight to play a retired mossad agent who juggles the hypermasculinity of militarized israeli culture while wanting to present more femme as a hairstylist

robert kennedy found dead in miami

watching ER because much of the same creative team made THE PITT and i wish there was a version without the godawful 90s score

say thank u to tony gilroy for destroying bob iger's blood pressure

this made my soul ache

only my torrents understand me

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

I become more and more convinced that the AI is just right wing class war and the lack of white collar worker organisation due having been flattered for years as geniuses and fed like farm geese has just led to a colossal lack of awareness of the class interests going on.

NOOOOOO ABBOT BECAME A PIGGGGGG

what kennedy and his followers seek is the mass death of every american susceptible to disease. it doesn't matter that they're all equally susceptible. they see contracting disease itself as a crime punishable by death.

lol and the current monarch named himself after the last monarch to be arrested He could’ve changed the name when he was coronated But noooooo

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

Kids today don't know that zydrate comes in a little glass vial

UBI would turn our society into a cultural powerhouse. i can't even begin to describe how creatively freeing it would be. i would make *so many* games. i would write *so many* novels.

pook fucking called it

“Aspires to be a stupider version of stock footage” is a pretty dead-on description of a lot of this stuff. This all reminds me of how one of the things Theranos was accused of was pretending their machines were doing bloodwork when it was just standard lab testing and bleep-blorp marketing.

It’s still so wild that one talentless nepo baby irreparably destroyed Star Trek AND Star Wars as franchises within a decade of each other

He's connected to a scandal that just got a former English prince arrested but he thinks all it'll take for him to keep his job is a sullen, combative apology.

If you block Claude AI on Github, it will tell you at the top of any repository if Claude has contributed to it

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

one of the great and terrible coups of the sociological production of the end of the pandemic was the line "you can't force people to mask." actually, people mostly do what they're told. that we've totally given up on shaping public behavior is nonsense. ask people to mask at a show, and most will!

Yoon Suk Yeol imprisoned for life, and Andrew arrested on the same day? Do Trump and Starmer next.

“AI can make mistakes” might as well be the slogan of our era. Even boosters admit that you need to spin the vibe code slot machine a few times to get a jackpot. An employee with that degree of consistency would be fired. So how do we redirect some of that unlimited grace from machines to humans?

Ugh god not him too One of the best actors charlie Kaufman ever worked with

oh suddenly the "kahanist right" is its own thing now lol

Re: Meta releasing an AI that keeps posting on dead users accounts... can't imagine how much it would fuck with me if I thought I was talking to a friend or family member and found out later I had been talking to an AI puppeting their corpse. This is pure evil

I’m going to keep sharing this PSA: although the MMR is usually given at 12 and 18 months, your baby can get a first dose as early as 6 months. They will still need the other two doses, because immunity doesn’t stick at that age, and insurance may not cover it. But it’s protection.

Both as an insult and a compliment, the filmmaker emerald fennell is the closest to is Zack Snyder.

Democrats should boycott the State of the Union and send Epstein survivors and people illegally detained by ICE in their place.

Sorry your health insurance costs so much more this year, we needed to make fancy airplanes for illiterate dog-murderers

I know chatgpt is sentient because when it puts its hands over its eyes it vanishes and then when it moves them suddenly it reappears

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died

i take it back he's got the worst political instincts of his generation

democrats are always indistinguishable from republicans 20 years ago

I was initially not the biggest fan of Spanberger but it turns out she has the heart of a world class hater and that is 100% the kind of energy we need right now

Hence why they work to marry children to elderly men

Jfc Jeffries AND Schumer are in the Epstein files Now a lot of their past behavior makes sense
