If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

I wrote about Kat.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement. I think this is Israel.

My favourite example of this is W. Earl Browns IMDb bio

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

"They found the coats on Thursday morning. Fifteen winter coats. Good ones, not garbage. Hanging on the chain-link fence outside Lincoln Elementary.No note. No explanation. Just coats zipped up like ghosts waiting for bodies. Principal Morris freaked out. Called the police. "Could be stolen"

You absolutely couldn’t write it better. Amazing.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

The really depressing thing about AI is it proves how little most people care about art. This is very funny, but also, so many people will have had to look at this and not one of them stopped and said "what is this absolute shit?"

if the enemy of my enemy is MTG that means i still have two enemies that i hope end each other somehow

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

the muppets are enduring cast of characters because each of them represents the duality of man kermit is nervous but charming fozzie is confident but untalented gonzo is deranged but dignified miss piggie is rude but elegant sam eagle is socially liberal but fiscally conservative

For no particular reason I’m thinking about game studios who fire their entire narrative team after six years of development because their CEO is a delusional malignant narcissist who is all-in on AI. I wish them all the luck they deserve.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Andrew is a sort of non-prince now, a… well, I’m sure there’s some sort of portmanteau word that would describe him well.

Pope dunking on you from the Popemobile while he's blessing and waving to the rest of the crowd means you have to convert to Lutheranism it's in the Bible

one thing LLMs have revealed is that the belief that there is a magical incantation that will give you what you want is not just confined to pick-up artists and freemen on the land

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.

fuck them innocent children, don't they know it was the good guys who murdered them with drones?

Explain your username: My landlord in 2008 called me “Sars” once instead of my name. I couldn’t get my roomies to stop teasing me about it, so when I was making a user on my Xbox, I decided to use sarsticus to take some power back. It worked, and the name is unique, so I’ve used everywhere since

This is a great explanation of ways that LLMs are shitty, encapsulated very well within cooking

% of US men under 30 who say legal sports betting is a *bad thing* for society 22% in 2022 47% in 2025 No other demographic group has seen a bigger increase.

Making a minor mistake, which is exaggerated by outside forces, causing your whole entire company to go into panic mode for two days is rather stressful… Why do I bring this up? Oh, no reason; no reason at all 😅 Anyway I’m good 𝑛𝑜𝑤

A lot of liberals like to make fun of "Trump voters who didn't believe the leopards would eat their faces" but then are like "I didn't believe the leopards would eat our national norms" dude

With all the frustrating crap that the Green brothers have done over the years, I’m amazed the this knitting controversy is actually gaining traction. Maybe this will finally get them off the pedestal

If you’re a famous actor choosing to work on Harry Potter in any shape or form, even if you say you support trans rights, no you don’t. Full stop. It’s not that hard.

I really wish the Danish Ministers politicians would read our own goddamn constitution before spouting horse shit

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

so they don't want trans people's money. that's fine. we won't give it to them.

Stop using it. Stop using it. Stop using it. It doesn’t work.

it turns out that embracing a multi-racial, multi-faith democracy is the best path towards peace in this chaotic world.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

trans people are real and bathrooms and sports are made up. if you act like that's the other way around i do not have to hear your argument because it is based on a false premise

Yeah, to be clear, these kids are the ONE exception to "fuck everyone involved with this show, they've sold out trans lives" They're children. Now their PARENTS who saw the paycheck and went "yeah sure who cares"? Absolute scum.

one of the weirdest thing about jordan peterson since he made his journey to where he is now is clearly becoming a christian but not having the balls to admit that he is or that he shifted in all of his beliefs

This is a bad paraphrasing of the original tweet, which crucially included the words "would you wash it off"
