Every day it’s something. I am just so sad that we elected this twisted mean ignoramus and his little troop of stupid weirdos. And the whole of their party just can’t get enough, propping it all up because they would rather cheat and steal power to stay in the thrall of monied assholes.

No group that is antithetical to inclusion of any part of the LGBTQIA+ will be offered space in Meeting Houses, guidance has gone out. Just got off the phone with a trans fFriend in her 70s, she was crying with joy.

Proof that the most goofily simple practical effects can pack far more of a punch than any big budget CGI nonsense.

slow day in the office so figured we'd start some beef with museums

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

Holy CRAP. Retired engineer takes random pics of *kids*, without consent or attribution, bins them into “autistic” or “not autistic”, and uploads that “data” for free on Kaggle. Well over a HUNDRED papers are published, 38 in Springer Nature, 25 in IEEE, using it. And no reviewers objected? WTF.🧪

"My daughter opposes genocide and also sexual abuse. Where did I go wrong?"

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

All you needed to be a Cassandra was to have spent a little time around racists and know a little about the civil rights movement and the rise of Hitler. Which is why I will never forgive the so-called elites who mocked and derided us when we tried to warn everyone.

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me! bit.ly/4aiUIKQ

I was playing with some rake brushes for the hair! 🧡

"BGG puts it in the top 10" is devious, you are asking for a 3+ hour commitment from anything ranked highly. Looking at the top 20, I think the shortest game in there is Castles of Burgundy, a game that in my brain is "oh that's not too long" but then I remember I'm board game poisoned.

Watching THE SUBSTANCE. It seems designed to repulse me in every possible axis, which is, of course, the point. It’s amazing.

Gonna be real, I'm mostly here for the aliens with personality disorders (Necrons, Drukhari, etc)

I went looking for Long Tracking Shots online and I can’t tell you the number of lists and sites that are wrong by failing to include BI Gan in any sense. I see ¡Soy Cuba! and The Player and Goodfellas and what not, but how can you ignore BI Gan’s work in this front? 🎥 📽️

Huh. Ian Kennedy Martin wrote Mitchell. He basically cut-n-pasted the "Buzz off, kid!" scene from a script he wrote for The Sweeney. Having seen the #MST3K version of Mitchell a million times, seeing this scene in a British context with two different actors feels like a fever dream.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

Thanks to Drew Friedman I can no longer think of Buddy Rich without thinking of this:

I played Lords of Vegas this weekend and realized it's the exact midpoint between Catan and Acquire. (Which is awesome btw.) It reminded me of Mission: Red Planet, which is the midpoint between Citadels and El Grande. What is your favorite "you got chocolate in my peanut butter" game?

I had the thought this morning that any arguments from the last two or three decades that universities must invest in commercial advertising and major sports teams as public relations tools that will eventually generate broad support have been proven spectacularly wrong over the last few years

Thinking about all the parsons actually named “Brown” and how much they must have hated that song.

Oh, you want me to come back to the Nazi site that hates Jews, academics, and women, and is fuel for the raging tempest of divorced future murders? You want me back today, when more university students and Jews are dead from gun violence that you openly support? Get fucked forever.

Rob Reiner, wow. Horrible to heart this news. I remember his streak of 5⭐️ films in Worcester Magazine in the 80s/90s, which was unprecedented. This Is Spinal Tap The Sure Thing Stand By Me Say Anything The Princess Bride When Harry Met Sally Misery A Few Good Men He wiped out with North.

Rightist parties are winning on the platform of “I will immiserate so may more people than my opponent. Maybe even you!” And folks can’t seem to get enough. I guess all the free busses were too much. Is it the fresh air? Oh, oh, I know, the healthy children.

Maybe don’t force people in the spotlight to represent their entire ethnicity or religious group. Maybe let them be a whole person who belongs to themselves.

Wishing a Joyous, Healthy and Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate.

Christmas night: "But Santa, you've hardly touched your Zardoz cookies."

Love the cohesive element of right wing thought, very attractive as a thinking being: •Few government regulations, to encourage business venture. •Focus on domestic integrity; only work internationally to protect national interests. •Kill all the Jews. •Liberty at home over local over national.

im going to sue my children until they love and respect me

I'm gonna be real honest man, the fact that we have to keep constantly exhorting everyone to call their elected representatives every other day to say "please do not sign off on the Make Life Worse For Everyone Bill please" is intensely degrading, and also a pretty poor sign for a functional society

these are the names is you're up for davening: * Reuven Ben Manya * Chaya Mushka bas Shterna Sara * Feivel Eliezer ben Dobra Bella * Arsan ben Amelia * Yaakov Dov ben Pnina * Yaakov ben Ethel * Moshe Yonatan ben Tziporah

Now listen, Jack, here's the square deal These are my works, and—look, I'm not kidding now— You should look upon them and despair You really should, that's no joke You don't look on my works and despair? Come on Come on I mean that's some real scurvy pony bingo, OK www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/u...

I love this man. Ahmed el-Ahmed, I will celebrate you tonight at my chanukiah lighting. I praise your saving power; You, amidst the raging foes.

Absolutely fuck these monstrous ghouls. Hey, did you vote for Trump? Fuck you. You’re an idiot. Unredeemable. Read a fucking book.

If you have Peacock you can watch the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 episode with MITCHELL. It. It’s really something. Josh’s last episode for those that care.

Watching the Darts World Championships on Peacock and its wild. I have never seen this before, but they play super fast, practically tossing into their opponent’s head when it’s their turn. And the arena is basically an enormous bar? Just about everyone in the crowd is in costume? Looks awesome.

every day i log onto bluesky and have to learn the name of a federal judge

This is why we need term limits and a demonstration of familiarity with technology. They're getting their mummy-dusted fingers all over things they don't understand and they'll pat themselves on the back while we boil alive in fascism
