companies be like: uwu we don't have enough money to produce quality content, which is why we have to cancel your favorite show and use AI now :( and then they proceed to buy out a competitor who's the same size as them, if not bigger

The problem with trying to force Ukraine to do this deal is that US support has completely dried up. The last supplementals were passed in middle of 2024. The Trump Admin hasn't asked any major new funding for Ukraine..some USAI equipment remains undelivered but that is it. It has little leverage...

We're not giving Biden, Sullivan, Scholz, Macron & the rest enough credit for letting me hang on this long so Trump could surrender to me.

my pinky finger now hurts a bit when I type, and now I cannot write my articles anymore wtf?

we fucking failed you

Dear Americans Your country just drafted Ukraine’s death sentence. Never forget that. Ukrainians surely won’t

“We will not risk a WW for Moldova. We will not risk a WW for Bulgaria. We will not risk a WW for the Baltics. We will not risk a WW for Poland. We will not risk a WW for Western Europe. We will not risk a WW for Taiwan. We will not risk a WW for Canada & Australia. Oh shit, where’s our allies?”

Just zero consistency in terms of universal justice or human rights, will we ever stop giving people like this a free ride on the Irish left jfc

If you can figure out Israel justifying annexing the West Bank, mulching Gaza and slaughtering <100k Palestinians because of Oct 7 is indefensible evil horse shite, but say Russia had *real* reasons to start a land conquest war killing as many Ukrainians you’re either malicious or thick as manure.

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

A rare aesthetic: you have the anxiety of a death row inmate but you’re numb to it and didn’t feel an emotion in over a year so everyone thinks you’re chill like that

Zelenskyy has posted a deeply difficult, ten‑minute national address. It is honestly heartbreaking to watch. I’m sure translations are already circulating and you’ll find it online, but the first point you need to hear is this: "Right now is one of the most difficult moments in our history. ,

Zelensky: Ukraine stands at one of the most difficult crossroads in its history, between dignity and the risk of losing a key partner. “Either 28 difficult points, or the harshest winter and growing threats,” he said, adding that “life without freedom, dignity, and justice” is no life at all.

I wonder what those "proxy war between US and Russia" folks have to say now that US has effectively sided with Russia yet again.

Ang Lee did all the motion capture for Hulk in his 2003 movie

My favorite Wombat fact. Also: a reminder to watch this video for the 100th time.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

Googling it these days is suspect, frankly, too.

This reminds me of a thing that happened at my uni. A guy tried to fake his diploma project. He was meant to make a good looking 3D model of his future tatoo salon. Except he paid some other guy to make the model for him, and then presented it as his own. One of our teachers smelled bs right away

"Elon Musk is an absolute beast, a sex machine, he outfucked everyone on the Epstein island!" - Grok, probably

If Russia and the US were genuinely willing for NATO states, including the US, to provide an "Art. 5-style" security guarantee they could just suggest that Ukraine joins NATO. They are doing the opposite, which tells us all we need to know.

Well yeah, it is a game for bottoms.

Funny thing happened to me today: I was on my way to a meeting, a guy stops me, he is clearly trying to gather funds for someone's treatment. He sells it like this:

Drew a Hellboy today #Art #Hellboy

On Children's Day, a Ukrainian mother shares what her daughters—Vlada, 5, and Dianka, 3—say in "relatively safe" Lviv. Far from any front line. Where families evacuate TO, not FROM. 🧵

The part that shocks me the most is the "cap the size of military". The only reason to demand something like that is if you want the next invasion to be successful. That's literally like a murderer asking you to sell your guns and he'll pinkie promise to never try to murder you.

Decided to ragebait myself yesterday and watched Critical Drinker's video about Avatar movies and why in his opinion they have "no lasting cultural footprint". Was really expecting him to get mad at "man - bad" message, but turns out it's probably his most toothless, nothing-y video yet.

Please do not use the revelations about Chomsky and Epstein to promote Parenti, a vile denier of the Bosnian Genocide (the correct answer is that both Chomsky and Parenti were terrible people)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

I think dogs should vote

it's cool that schoolyard tactics are a thing that just works in American politics It works so well. Like everyone is just too shocked that it happened to do anything

Can't wait for GTA6 to sweep the indie awards next year

Is this a joke???

Ukrainians adapt remarkably to russia's attempts to deprive them from basic amenities. Sometimes, with the help from their little friends🐶

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

i actually really really hate the "there are too few positive male role models for boys" thing for one banal reason and it is that it literally just isn't true

As I am playing Red Dead 2, I cannot stop noticing how much the game is worse just from the fact that it’s, well, a videogame. Or specifically a Rockstar open world this-person shooter action adventure game.

I have never felt a bigger emotional whiplash looking through a Youtube channel’s videos

mfw a movie is almost 4 hours long

Its really hard to be a pacifist in this game

Ok so apparently if you use cheats in RDR 2 it doesn't let you save anymore. Even if you disabled the chearts and made hours of progress No saving. You just lose that progress Fuck this stupid game, holy shit
