we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Alright, I finally agree with the BlueSky reviews of a TV show- A Knight of Seven Kingdoms is good stuff. Hardly ever a fan of children in shows, but Dexter Sol Ansell is wonderful as Egg.

Reddit rises up

UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

I’m more curious about the “moms for liberty” set? Where are the porn police? The warriors for Christ, the decency police? They descended on school boards, libraries, book shops, etc. over Maurice Sendak illustrations. Where are the trad wives and maga moms? Would they put that on a cake?

Government accounts just post like this now and that’s how policy is made

I mean... they do this with everything, really. I learned about 'pork futures' from Trading Places when I was a kid...

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

Call your broker.

Looks like the lady in line ahead of me at Albertsons is having a day:

Ken Burns's new 12 hour documentary, "Jorts" follows the history of this uniquely American clothing item.

Easy choice if you're a deer deciding where to buy a house

One of my favorite AU games

I liked the era of Taco Bell advertising that showed their food at a party full of trendy young hipsters excitedly passing it around, laughing, and taking pictures of one another holding tacos as opposed to how it’s typically consumed; alone in a bedroom with a YouTube video on in the background

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

Just did this with my Drive settings, and yeah it had Gemini ticked by default without ever asking me if that was something I wanted

www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-wh... It turns out that President Camacho was nowhere near ridiculous enough of a character for our Idiocracy future.

It's going to be so amazing being alive in 2026 because the front page will say "BREAKING Mamdani Received Free Cheese Pizza From a Local Vendor, Calls to Resign Mount" and then on page 3 you'll see "Hegseth's Pentagon Rape Dungeon Raises Legal Questions."

Their performative disappointment is the easiest way they can farm victimhood points. Every single one of these type of shitbags just levels by killing level 0 nothings in the beginner zone until they can spend all their points on either a podcast, a show on fox news, or a Ram 2500.

Happy Oct. NPR had a "Mt. Rushmore of Horror" episode, listened to 3 terrible takes, and decided to list my own front-runners. Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, Exorcist, Jaws, Halloween, Alien, Jaws, The Thing. (Maybe Carpenter shouldn't be on here twice, but I can't decide)

The Bluesky government accounts want unhinged engagement with their accounts to screenshot and provide to Fox News to justify their authoritarianism and I’m not going to do their work for them it’s my day off.

Well don't I feel stupid

If you're in line for the Rapture- STAY IN LINE!

It’s wild how a song from the 90’s can be even more relevant now‼️ Chumbawamba were a British band who formed in 1982 and disbanded in 2012‼️

Going back to 1998 to explain that in 27 years "Should the sidekick on Win Ben Stein's Money have a network TV show?" will be the most hotly-discussed political issue of the day because President Donald Trump used the assassination of a right-wing podcaster as a pretext for abusing federal power.

a good arbiter of how close we are to bad hybrid regime shit is if the political comedy shows start getting pulled for whatever reason

Maybe worth mentioning yet again that no matter how much they update and change the narrative and obfuscate facts and correlations, many of the core concepts in every iteration of Alvin and the Chipmunks couldn’t actually happen.

I wish there was a way to convert twitter stupidity into electrical power. We'd solve the world dirty energy crisis in a week.

9/11 was pretty much the end of the US as a nation moving towards freedom. Fear helped turn us into a police state. There was never a time when we were free, but momentum prior to 9/11 had been edging that way. That is the reason that while I don't believe the government did it, they let it happen.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

I have a half-baked idea that having access to all the music all the time has led to a kind of cultural stasis where we can't move forward.

I got fired from the sperm bank yesterday. Apparently you’re not allowed to nudge the nearest co-worker and say “get a load of this guy” every time someone walks in.

Hard to convince younger generations, but for decades, Republicans went on and on about how two of the worst things imaginable were (1) state intervention in the market and (2) DC using federal troops against US states; both so bad the people should be ready for armed rebellion in case it happens.

That last line hits hard

An entire political movement based on the inability to have any shame and or care if they look like hypocrites.
