I hate Chuck Schumer. So. Much.

Me saying: “voting isn’t how you effect real change.” People hear: “oh so you just want people to not do anything, and are arguing for voter apathy!” What? No, I’m doing a call to action! Go out and show politicians the change we want in this world. Politicians are only ever reactionary to us.

Ahh, we’re still doing the “any criticism of the democrats is actually saying Trump is good actually so shut up and get behind my side of the team sports” version of politics again and calling everyone else stupid. 🙄🙄 it’s 2026, if we can’t see past us v them campist politics, we really are doomed.

Maybe if people spent less time bitching about Discovery and more time paying attention to it, they would have learned this important lesson about atypical captain’s like Burnham and Ake...

I cannot stress enough that the absolute biggest reason that Harry Potter is such a cultural icon in the first place has nothing to do with the quality of the books but with Scholastic's change in publishing practices in the late 90s/early 00s oh and also Rowling is a huge bigot, so there's that

Additionally, the capybaras are correct; we should be immerse ourselves in hot water all winter.

"I was just following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg, and it's not going to work now. So many people are so scared right now, including one terrified wannabe Dictator who doesn't want the Epstein files to be released. Folks, stay safe, and don't let other people's evil destroy your future.

Woke Star Trek, am I right? #StarTrek #FuckICE #StarfleetAcademy

all the talk of training and whatnot miss a very fundamental point: there is a subset of people who, very simply, are racist, violent people who want an excuse to live out their racist, violent fantasies and our job as a society is to do everything we can to make sure they never have any power

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

No matter what happens with Trump, the old world order is over. The United States demonstrated it's only as honorable or trustworthy as the people in office wish to be, and no one in the entire US government will limit an irrational or malignant actor unless it's for partisan reasons. We're done.

now why would you assume that's going to happen just because it's what happens literally every single time with no variation whatsoever?

In a nutshell, yes

Sinners deserves every one of those nominations :) #Sinners

the reaction to the death of Scott Adams should contrast particularly with the (eventual) death of Bill Watterson, who will be mourned in the style of the ancient Pharaohs, with all of Ohio entombed alive along with him

Oh fuck off, Meghan. I remember when the right was bitching about Mr. Rogers because he had the audacity to tell children they were special and worthy of love just as they were.

His name is literally "HE-MAN". The most pronoun name ever. I constantly play this game of "are grifters really this dense, or do they just expect their audience to be?" The answer is both obviously but it still hurts my brain seeing the endless feedback loop of asshole to asshole reinforcement.

Joel Schumacher talking to his production design team:

take every ounce of ICE's funding and give it to USPS especially this guy in particular

Something something bodycams something something more training

Do not wait to tell me. Contact me under any condition.

All those billions they're "spending" on data centers isn't actually being spent. They just announce commitments to spend as though it's already done. "AI" is a phantom economy.

this is a very silly argument to make if for no other reason than teenagers are horny and you cannot physically stop the inevitable drive for people to wanna fuck only weirdo execs have a primal need to replace jobs humans should do with low-quality AI slop

Recording evidence is useless without accountability. If doing something would get a member of the public arrested and detained but not law enforcement, then there is no accountability and we're just paying violent throwbacks to beat us up.

I am quite sick and fucking tired of Democrats who call out the President in public yet continue to enable him despite his blatantly illegal behavior. They want to score dunks, not do anything of substance.

man, not everything has to be the biggest, most-used thing in the world to justify its existence and even if it were, we've already seen the catastrophically bad consequences of platforms optimizing for engagement, like come on

men will unironically say they can't be friends with someone they might want to fuck, avoid any intimacy with their male friends because it might be gay, then complain about a loneliness epidemic

Remember when the media sold us DeSantis as the new Trump for months on end before we even go to 2024 and then he fell right on his face?

The idea that people would spend all day wearing those heavy, ridiculous nerd helmets should have been the moment we all understood that tech bros were idiots. People ain't gonna wreck their nice hairdo for that shit Mark you fucking poodle

You know I get the cops not fucking with ICE because cops don't protect you from cops. But if they're pulling fire alarms where's the goddamn fire inspector?

Actually this *is* the future liberals want, the fact it's sending Stephen Miller into conniptions is just a side benefit

Happy Dragon Appreciation Day — to all who celebrate!

This is not a question of training. These are not cocker spaniels. They *want* to hurt people. They *want* to scare people. They *want* to do so with impunity. They'll happily take overtime pay for another training session they can ignore. What they don't want is consequences.

i know it's popular to hate on Avatar here, and i haven't seen the recent two so I idc but i gotta say no absolutely not the entire point of James Cameron is to spend exorbitant amounts of money on movies whether people want them or not employ those VFX artists til the end of time

“The effort yields its own rewards” - Data

This is not "enforcing the law" This is not "securing the border" This is a gang of unaccountable thugs terrorizing a city for the crime of daring to resist being terrorized for fucks sake they flash-banged a car full of children fuck these absolute monsters

What I hate most about gen Ai is how it takes away the effort. When I saw art before, I knew that even if it shitty and bad, i could tell that there was someone who worked hard to make it happen. It’s why shit like The Room got popular, because you could see the earnest effort on display.

If this was any other set of medical treatments, the entire medical community would be scrambling to study how they could improve their own treatments.

You ever notice that all these "AI" companies are like "yaaaass vibe coding let the AI do it yaaaaaass" and then you ask if they use vibe coding themselves it's immediately "what god no of course not no no no are you insane"

By the by, it's 17 degrees out right now, so they're marching in pretty cold weather (not as cold as it COULD get, but still pretty damn cold right now). Helps show the strength of these kids.

It's notable how much of the Trump administration's actions are predicated on the idea no one will fight back. Which is why they mop the floor with Schumer and Jeffries (when they're not taking a dive, at least).
