Trust me. If you’re both a cat owner and a news junkie, this is funny.

I wish this was a joke. It’s not.

The “seven star hotel” has ”this one goes to eleven” energy.

Amen. Walz should welcome this. Bring this clown show to court and see what happens.

I've increasingly come to view cynicism as the seedbed of totalitarianism, both because it can paralyze the opposition and because it implicitly validates the might-makes-right ethic of the authoritarian.

Washington Post with the hard-hitting journalism.

I really enjoyed this short interview with maestro @vurnt22.bsky.social. www.loudersound.com/bands-artist...

Well, this is some nightmare fuel.

I’ll just note that the US didn’t do this to China, which outright bans US social media websites

Look if we just go around beating the absolute shit out of social media assholes there’s bound to be some sort of long-term theoretical negative externality or something Anyway be careful out there Nate Silver

WTF is it with these weirdos?

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

As a reminder: Trump is rewarded for saying the most insanely hateful things if you, like sheep, simply disseminate it for him even on platforms where is largely blocked. 10 years in and he still plays you all like a fiddle.

This is a very wise move on WotC’s part. @justiceraminarman.bsky.social is great designer and leader. Congrats, my friend!

To the woman or the gun?

Next thing you know, he’ll start posting random opinions to Bluesky multiple times a day.

I co-sign the sentiment, but “bitch” is never ”gender neutral.” Yes, the epithet is applied to males too, but the clear context is *always* “bitches“ are weak and inferior—like women. The insult only works because “bitch” means “female” (or worse, “female dog”). Let’s forget this terrible slur.

My years at Northwestern University were the happiest of my life. Sad to see a once great institution capitulate to two-bit authoritarians. Removing NU from my will this week.

1. STAR WARS 2. EMPIRE STRIKES BACK 3. THE LAST JEDI 4. RETURN OF THE JEDI 5. ROGUE ONE 6. THE FORCE AWAKENS 7. SOLO 8. ATTACK OF THE CLONES 9. PHANTOM MENACE 10. REVENGE OF THE SITH 5-10 are bad; 7-10 are unwatchable.

This is so fucking sad. The world’s richest man spent a fortune to create a robot to bathe him in the specious praise he so obviously needs. He’s such a sociopath that the much cheaper option of hiring a Wormtongue or a JD Vance or a Mike Johnson just wouldn’t cut it.

Killing Bond at the end of the Craig era was a *favor* to these new writers. Now they’re free to start over and not have to pretend they’re connected to the older movies. They have sixty years of Bond villains they can reimagine and reintroduce.

D&D fans, I’m told Cynda Callaway has passed away. Cynda was the production expert who worked with various printers and manufacturers to get D&D books and boxes on shelves, on time, through the 5E era and beyond. She was a genuine unsung hero and all of us fans owe her a lot. RIP. #dnd

Uh, didn’t Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock win statewide races just a few years ago?

/3 Notice also how thankfully Heritage accepts the gift that people like Ezra Klein give them: if you can frame bigotry as a “debate,” if it’s done in a friendly chat or a podcast or some other stylized forum, then it’s just uncouth and intolerant to call it out. Works out swell for bigots.

Whoa, that’s an interesting pairing.

there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.

Holy shit. Maybe AI *can* be a real artist. This is lit. ”Forgigato Blow” and special guest “Measles” are just . . . mwah.

whoever made the mouth in the neck Verizon commercial … you are my enemy for life

Why the fuck Is Disney still trying to make TRON a thing? Why not THE BLACK HOLE or THE COMPUTER THAT WORE TENNIS SHOES? Straight talk: no one cares; no one has ever cared. It’s like CBS/Paramount announcing the Quinn-Martin cinematic universe. So embarrassing.

C’mon, my friends. Let’s help!

If the NFL offered a streaming service that was just Al Michaels calling or commenting on the weeks’ game while tripping balls, I’d subscribe immediately.

This is amazing! Not just #88, but three additional issues. Congrats, Rick and crew.

I’ve found her; the “girlfriend of the founder of antifa.”

This is fantastic. The most potent weapon we have is our capacity to reveal how ridiculous these fascist gonna really are. Stay safe, no violence, and keep mocking.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is the best new movie I‘ve seen in a decade. Masterpiece. Congrats to all involved. #obaa

One of the 20th century’s seminal talents and a personal hero.

Hope this goes better than the first time, when a large portion of the celebrities immediately folded when they faced criticism

Who has watched the 24 hour live stream so far that the house Dems are doing on the shutdown????? This should be the biggest story right now and literally 45 people are watching www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrBY...

The Fairness Doctrine is to uninformed media discourse what RICO is to uninformed legal discourse. Both are touted as cure-alls to whatever ails us in each realm.

#seattlestorm lose a heartbreaker this evening. Great season and looking forward to next year.

This is it, Hollywood; the moment of truth. After years of showing up at award shows wearing pins and ribbons, you can finally make a real difference. No new work for Disney. No new work for CBS/Paramount. Reporters, ask everyone who works for Disney/Paramount why they support Trump.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

I’m currently inside a lava lamp in my brain hotel. I might be peaking or freaking, but I rock well.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
