Ted Turner had an instinct for mergers, a lot of charm, an inhuman level of self-confidence, AND a wildly overinflated sense of what he could pull off, and if I were to pick a single deal that represented all of those qualities, it would be "I think I can turn Jane Fonda into a trophy wife."

DAWKINS: You idiots believe in God? ALSO DAWKINS: The Computer is alive. And it’s also my girlfriend

People refuse to believe it and most who do believe it usually shrug it off but US prisons and jails are in fact torture chambers. Conditions are HORRIFIC across the board. People are OK with this on the whole.

Every ad for consumer ai is like “Are you fucking dumb and bad at everything but also too lazy to do anything about it? You’ll love our ai.”

TBH it is kind of funny that the collective takeaway from The Hunger Games seems to have been “elaborate fashion is bad” and not “children murdering each other for sport is bad”

Warning! You might see posts in the wild claiming "Hogwarts Legacy is free right now!" but this is malware, if you try and run it, it'll install Hogwarts Legacy on your PC.

We looked into Polymarket's presence in Panama, obtained its government paperwork and visited its headquarters in Panama City. There was no sign of Polymarket. Nobody had heard of Polymarket there. www.npr.org/2026/05/05/n...

Self-help is 95% bullshit because by its very nature it REQUIRES all your maladies to be self-inflicted, as otherwise they can't sell the cure of "Simply brazen your way through whatever afflicts you." It doesn't matter if your problem is lack of confidence (where that MIGHT help) or cancer.

lol they literally talk about it like they’re trying to use lawyerese to outsmart an ironic genie

this one is getting close and i know @stephaniejeter.bsky.social has some stretch goals in mind. join me in supporting if you've got some money burning a hole in your pocket! funding artists is so vital at this time while opportunities are drying up for under represented voices.

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

I knew there was a reason I liked Pedro Pascal.

I like Drew, but I still find this kind of gripe obnoxious. Yeah, I loved Andor too, but god forbid they actually make a Star Wars film that appeals to younger people rather than a middle-aged dude. (This is a separate issue to whether it will actually be a *good* film aimed at younger people.)

Respect for the thought. But if given a shard of the franchise, it would center on the crushing bureaucracy of The Empire and the ruthless egotism of the lead revels and the fact that nothing fucking changes.

new york times pulitzer finalists for their podcast series about trans youth where they don't really talk to any actual trans people. good shit....great shit!

this bitch is gonna make me vote for a billionaire

One of the more concise summaries of what this shit ACTUALLY is.

You pieces of dogshit conceded ground on public school funding for decades which put our kids behind and now you want to line your pockets with AI cash? Now you can find the money for the kids? You worthless asshole.

Man, fuck you

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

Keeping this handy to reply to any shitheel who frets about the number of American crazies who take potshots at Trump and suggest it's Democrats who need to tone down the rhetoric. Trump is fascist, racist, misogynistic, corrupt, vulgarian and submoronic. I do hope he dies of a cheeseburger only.

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

Putting this out there for those who need it

Gallup, 1939: "Do you think Americans were happier and more contented at that time (during the horse and buggy days) than they are now?"

Gen Z has rediscovered the Flintstones & is realizing how dystopian the America of today is compared to 2 million years ago "Watching The Flintstones... has solidified my belief that I would have likely been happier working in a quarry as a brontosaurus operator."

Writers are like: this protagonist is cool and sexy. He's an alcoholic writer and he's divorced.

"It takes zero courage to love you." the ten year old trans kid in me is just ... welp, the 40yo me is crying.

Are they nostalgic for the 90s or for Kodak Vision 35mm fine grain film stocks with 1990s color grading

I had Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid. They were closer to literature than whatever fictional fucking slop these fucks are droning on about would be to cinema.

Me: I voted for Donald Trump because I had him confused with that other guy. Donald Duck. NYT reporter: Are you sure you want me to print that next to your real name and a drawing of you? Me: Yes.

"Defund the police" was never a mainstream Dem policy proposal, but Dems let themselves get branded as the "Defund the Police" party in part because so many of them can't stop talking about how they gotta stop being the "Defund the Police" party. They're doing it to themselves.

This is really, really good, and if you care at all about science you need to read it. I have been trying to explain my position the last few years and this sums it up better than I could

The role "the Epstein files" have played on the public consciousness is to transform sexual abuse from a societal problem that we all have to collectively grapple with to a baroque conspiracy committed by faraway, unrelatable villains that you get to righteously fantasize violence against.
