Same people behind this criticize the left for "making everything political."

Trumplethinskin creates his own version of reality & then expects us to believe it as if we don't have eyes, ears or functioning brains. #SAD 🤣

I'll add that as someone who not that long ago spent many frantic nights looking for information on sleep training, feeding, etc etc--by far the most valuable internet resource was reddit, the only place with human advice. Everything else is basically useless at this point.

Watch "A Man on the Inside" Season 2, now streaming on Netflix!

Sad to say farewell to this weird lil guy. 70 pages of chemistry with stick figures in place of atomic symbols 😮

Always insane to see how little some people value you even after you help them

Anti-dynasty law needed for PH to become a 'real democracy'—lawmaker

Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54. “We go back to my apartment really pissed off,” said Nile Rodgers, “and Bernard starts singing, ‘Ahhh, f**k off!’ .. and that became the hook.”

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family. No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

An absolute horrific nightmare of two AI bots caught in a loop with each other is the perfect example of the total nothingness of AI “brains”.

Reminder that Jimmy Fallon was one of the biggest mainstream promoters of NFTs and even changed his social media account avatar to a NFT owl and called it Fallon.io until they were starting to become worthless

Here's one thing driving me nuts about legacy media: no mention of Rimando sharing a lawyer with the Discayas? Isn't that pertinent context-wise? newsinfo.inquirer.net/2152917/fwd-...

it's so funny seeing the hucksters of AI simultaneously have to argue with the public that anything made with it is actually just as much hard work to create as ever and to the investors that it makes everything effortless and removes all need for work at all

now you too can work without sleep for several weeks in order to generate 30 seconds of uncanny valley dogshit in service of an empty concept

Paul Dano is a good actor, he acts without vanity, he acts a weak piece of shit like a weak piece of shit cos that’s what a lot of American men have been, sorry QT, you’re great but you are twelve

🔥HOPE WALZ: “Oh Don Jr, it is so clear your dad doesn’t love you… my family will always be richer than yours, because we find joy in each other - not tearing other people down. I really hope you get the help you need.”

I am pleased to announce another no-talent year!

Thou shalt stop attacking Ms. Rachel for caring about the lives of children.

DDL has an insta??? Also iirc DDL himself recommended Dano to PTA after they worked together in The Ballad of Jack and Rose, so I was more surprised by the insta thing haha

Erika Kirk wearing Serena Joy's uniform seems very appropriate.

i sure hope that face is the result of nerve damage. the thought that he thinks he looks cool doing that is *shudder*

❌️🧊 While ICE goons were abducting & teargassing people in nearby Elgin IL, DHS Sec Kristi Noem came to Chicago to boost her image by showing up at a Coast Guard Christmas event. 🎤 Noem: "We were created to serve each other... physically, mentally, spiritually" 📣 Us: NOEM, GO HOME! NOEM, GO HOME!
