AI stuff has been destructive in many ways, but using it to replace vital scientific research is by far the most evil. Most people won't know about it at all, even as the consequences of it kill their loved ones. I wish anybody enacting these policies a painful, agonizing death.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

One of my least favorite tropes in so many "classic" films is the fuckin' thing where they're like: "This middle-aged man has a problem: he REALLY wants to cheat on his wife! Not because she's really bad or anything. The girl is just hot and much younger*!" *sometimes criminally so

It really is great that the One Piece anime is nailing it so often now. It does mean I keep crying every time I watch it, though lol

Honestly? I'm 100% more interested given all this information, and I never even finished Season 1. That's what every season should have been anyway.

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

I'm not great at math and don't find it fun. But I DO think it's pretty cool that it provably exists, numbers are fundamental to reality... ... but also we invented both numbers and math. What a fun thing to think about.

On that last point: people have noticed for years that we put more effort into sponsored ads than most people. Rest assured: we don't do that for sponsors. We do it for the audience. If we're gonna put an ad in our videos, it may as well be kinda fun.

Betty Boop is now public domain, that's cool! Also Bimbo, her fuckboy anthropomorphic dog boyfriend nobody ever talks about.

So, a thought as somebody who had to spend A LOT of 2025 working out how to prioritize time producing videos for YouTube: Do not pivot to Shorts. They don't exist in a way that rewards hard work. It's even more of a crapshoot than YouTube already is.

I think the raid has a serious tone but is also kinda funny The villain is kind of a goofy guy, and the bit where the guy they call a "dog" drags a dead body to him like he caught a rabbit is outright funny in a dry way

Hot take: all the best action films are funny, and all the best action directors are good at creating comedy.

I still have no idea what the "six seven" thing is I've heard ppl say it, but I still have zero context I've learned today there's also a gesture to go with it Idk what's going on

New 2026 insult just dropped

Never forget that the people who made Rings of Power are cowards for not giving Tolkien dwarf women beards.

meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years. we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this?? between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright

What was your biggest impact on the internet? Almost definitely this, and I'm still not sure how I feel about that lol

I didn't mind those sequences, but a better movie would have cut them to focus on the core of the movie. I think it's a problem in general right now that modern media thinks that "more" is better. So many movies could go from "bad" to "pretty fun" simply by editors cutting out the bloat.

I feel like such a grump that Ghostbusters: Afterlife annoys me so much. But it's because half of that movie was about a lonely girl in a small town uncovering an occult mystery tied to its past, and THAT movie was good. But instead of finishing it they just remade the 3rd act of Ghostbusters.

I'm still holding out hope we can get at least one more. It doesn't even need a huge budget, I don't think anyone minds if it's not a huge spectacle. Most of the fun is in the characters, as it should be.

I think an unfortunate reality that many artists fairly reasonably struggle with is that if you care that your art has appeal and makes money, you simply cannot think ONLY as an artist. You need to hold on to that artistic drive, but often it's important to set it aside for practicality's sake.

A little while ago I had a stupid idea for a video and we thought "why not?" Very surprised and amused by the amount of people in the comments genuinely impressed by me painting lol It is very much not my medium

Honestly if that happens I get it. Even texting is socializing, and socializing uses up a different internal battery than social media But it is also proof that being on social media isn't actually socializing

People are saying dolphins are technically whales, but that is too far. That may be scientifically true, but spiritually it is unacceptable

I just learned killer whales are not whales, they are actually huge dolphins. I learned this because I was looking into the Old English word "hron," which is often conflated with whale by translators but likely refers to a creature that is smaller. These are my hobbies.

Hey you artist, is your art considered weird? Fuck yeah. Keep it weird. You ain't hurting no one right? So keep having fun. Break those conventions. Be weird as fuck.

If you have never seen "Pulp Shakespeare," allow me to enrich your life for a moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dfL...

I forget when I haven't done it for a while that as a kid I would just sit down and draw for fun. It's nice to just spend a few hours drawing sometimes.

Heard a lot of JP artists are joining! Make sure to check these language settings so you can see posts in all languages!

So why do some Millennials care if Gen Z or Gen Alpha think they're cool? Why are you invested in random kids' opinions of you? You are a grown adult. You pay rent. The kids shouldn't have to bear the brunt of your self-esteem issues.

I maintain that Incredibles 2 is pretty good. It's not as good as the first Incredibles, but literally what is? That movie is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement.

Never got the appeal of "big guy shoots big guns" movies. And I think I never will.

Wild that the ONLY person who communicated to me as a teenager that it's wrong to sleep with people when they're too drunk to properly consent was Austin Powers. Like... that stupid-ass movie was the ONLY thing teaching me that?? What a bad society.

Gonna pat myself on a back. S'been a while since I've done anything in 2d and it came out the way I wanted. Three days, lots of iterating, sketching around, learning new things. Who could possibly want to skip the joy that comes from filling a blank canvas from sketch to final? #SonicFanArt 🤘🏿😊⚡💚

The Cadbury Tales by Jeff Caucer He just spends 300k words complaining about how the eggs taste better in England.

I have my critiques of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom(while still thinking it was a really great time), but god the score may the best in the entire series.

What are they looking at...?

There is no undoing the stink of this stuff for Republicans. They are the party of pedophiles. People who voted for Trump voted for The Pedophile President. Twice. I think it's genuinely crucial to NEVER stop shaming them for it. Don't be polite. They supported an evil man, and they were warned.

love a cloudy day

It's very funny to me that a huge ASOIAF theory revolves around lemons.

I decided to remaster this one and I made it just in time!

Spent last week putting together the radioplay for #DieselDust episode 1. I got to experience all of those fun sessions again as I was tooting along with the edit. And I'm really thankful to work with my cast whom together make such a unique and fun sound. Juuuuust wish I could work faster. 😅

I notice there's never talk of a live action Pocahontas remake Golly gee, I can't imagine why

If you missed yesterday’s reading of A Christmas Carol, the recording is available now! The donation link is still open, so if you enjoy the story please donate something for World Central Kitchen 🙏 youtu.be/zN6E8QXYQQY?...

It's still so funny that Captain America 4 has the joke Red Hulk plot from Venture Bros.
