While this article goes very rightly into the disrespect actors have faced in dubbing, underneath that is an entire ecosystem of abused and rushed freelancers doing the timecoding, adapting, directing, engineering, and mixing who Amazon also attempted to cut. www.avclub.com/amazon-ai-an...

1/1. The world will be a less interesting place without you in it, sir.

When people are mean to you, remember the universal truth that it comes from their own fears, not from a deficiency in you. So don’t react. Chin up. Wait for the reality of their own internal conflict to take care of it.

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

"It's difficult to think in celebratory terms when I have spent two years seeing what shrapnel does to a child's body. It's difficult to think in celebratory terms when I know that my tax money is doing this." - Omar El Akkad, winner of the 2025 National Book Award

Destruction of evidence is evidence of guilt.

My one takeaway from today is that I am not alone.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

This ought to be the lead story for every news outlet in the country. It won’t be. Imagine that the admin just said “We’re not doing jury trials anymore.”That’s the scale this is on.

Re-sharing & asking you to amplify: Every single fact about the South Shore federal raid just days ago is worse than the last. They kicked in doors & dragged Chicago families out in the middle of the night. I know we're all stressed but THIS IS VERY BAD blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s...

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

This is amazing: @ladwp.com, the Los Angeles utility, has launched a program that will install solar+battery systems on qualifying low-to-moderate-income households, *for free*. Yes: free. If you know someone eligible, tell them to apply!

Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE. Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

I'm telling you that that world doesn't exist. Either we're all safe, or none of us are safe. Kimmel and Colbert and jokes cannot save you from what's coming. You need the people that you won't fight for, to fight for you. But one-way solidarity ain't it.

L’shana Tovah to those who celebrate. And if you’re looking for a way to help in Gaza besides loudly speaking out against genocide today, here you go: www.gofundme.com/f/Help-Anas-...

Quick question for the #fallout New Vegas fans out there: BESIDES MVP (and lucky lottery winner) Oliver Swanick, who’s your favorite of the (way too many) NPCs I voiced?

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
