"Women are not usually into science fiction"is legitimately one of the stupidest, most divorced from reality sentences I have ever read in my life

I am a transgender woman and former sex worker. I withheld my vote from the Democratic candidate as part of a bloc of voters exercising our power to attempt to force Harris to commit to ending the genocide in Gaza. Her decision to scornfully dismiss this bloc of voters is not our moral failure.

When people like Pewdiepie say he's their favorite writer I just think about how he was a fascist cause he was a closeted gay theater nerd who killed himself.

Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire. Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*

Please contact your representatives about KOSA! Phone calls, emails, letters, whatever option works best for you! But choose what works best and send a LOT of them until this legislation is put down!

It's Science.

Also Science.

This too is Science.

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

That experiment has been done a few times, the outcome is predictable. Everyone thinks they're built differently

The health issue in question? Stubbed his toe

A reminder: Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can hap—

Just discovered that the Michelin Man used to ride a bike while wearing slutty little red boots and smoking a huge stogie. I don't know where else to put this information except in the Cool Files

Give me your best monster fucker book title for this image. I'll start it off with...The Dead Queen's Consort.

Biden pushing this line was bad. Trump pushing this line is bad. Bernie pushing this line is bad. Unless Democrats want to join MAGA's anti-immigration party, we can't start borrowing their rhetoric. We need to make a case for why immigration is good, not run away scared from it.

The attempt at using homosexuality as a negative against him aside (because that's normal conservative moralizing nonsense) the fact the other guy called a CEO their "superior" really says a lot about conservative thinking

They really think this is a real thing and not someone making fun of them

Haunted by the Past - Part 10

"Rami Musleh, a father of 12 who was displaced from the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoon, could not find any viable option other than the graveyard. 'For parents, the emotional toll is heavy. The psychological trauma of war is made worse by having to raise children among tombstones'"

last 15 years feel like an experiment in putting individuals who don't know why people see movies in charge of getting people to see movies

Doing this digital recasting is just so actually and casually racist! I mean it makes it so obvious that dumb racists ultimately plan on using AI to retrocast movies to erase diversity.

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

i NEED to know the backstory here

I’ll say the exact same thing about Platner that I say about Newsom: from a pure cost benefit analysis, what is the point of supporting either of them? What is so indispensable about either of them that means we should ignore the bad stuff?

god damn platner had the most comprehensive milkshake ducking i've ever seen

They have various ideas of what "good" policy is, but they think the key to getting "good" policy passed is to elect white dudes who dress it up in reactionary racism. That is how they get the Working Man to enter that tent. Somehow it never occurs to them that the tent has an exit, too

Even pre-stroke, this was the Fetterman problem. It's the Chapo Traphouse problem. And it's also widely an establishment media problem. These are elites who think the Working Man is a white Nazi and they believe the Democratic party can only be saved by going Nazi.

There is a genre of White Dude In Progressive Politics that makes his whole brand about how he "gets" the white dudes that Dems simply cannot reach. The problem with these guys is, the Dems don't reach those dudes because they are racist reactionaries

The tent has an exit, and the moment someone with a swastika enters the tent, a whole lot of people are going to avail themselves of that exit. You get a Nazi bar, and Nazi bars are always small. (Until they aren't, and then it's already fully game over.)

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.
