just realized erika kirk looks like a female jd vance

wild how her face absolutely radiates evil

went to see Cats by myself at 10am on a Sunday after dropping my parents off at the airport. I was the only person in the theater, the power went out halfway through, an usher shuffled in and said "uh well I guess you get a free ticket to see another movie" and kicked me out. never finished Cats

I forgot about seeing "mother!" and the row ahead of me was six very very old women and in fairness to them they all stayed to the end when one of them said to another "Phyllis you're never picking another fucking movie"

Someone on SA posted their “last train out of New Orleans on Amtrak before Katrina” story and they said the train was basically empty. They were alone except there were 4 European tourists who were shocked not only the train still charged them but no one else thought of using it.

my favorite reaction to this was "what if i need to flee an emergency"

Amanda Seyfried, I was not familiar with your game

i just feel like the quality of like all discourse has gone down somewhat. Idk. Like read this piece and then ask yourself why it needed to be written

just spotted a port-a-potty next to a sign reading SPECIAL EVENT AHEAD

HELP WANTED: full time portraiture photographer. experience working with high profile clients a plus. you will be part of a team of 10 other photographers documenting everything that happens on my pedophile island to the smallest detail. no cryptic reference to power or authority too insignificant

all i'm saying is that there were better options

I guess there is in fact some hamburger that is beyond help

That fifth paragraph is such an amazing example of pure Grade A bullshitting, I am almost impressed ”Casting” AI “actors”? “Scouting virtual locations”?? This is like picking out some photos of famous landmarks on Shutterstock and calling it an “intense whirlwind photoshoot around the world”

"We're all about keeping costs low, so we used 2x the resources to make something worse than if we hadn't included AI"

This is a since-deleted LinkedIn post from the marketing agency that created the since-deleted AI-generated McDonalds Christmas ad, and all I can think of is how the energy consumption must've been about on par with a small suburb or heavy industrial load to produce 30 seconds of slop everyone hated

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

cannot stress enough how the leading quality i want in 2028 dem primary fronteunnwr is “vengeful”

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Trump keeps getting MRIs because he has the smoothest brain they've ever seen. It's like a marble. Incredible. They say you can see your reflection in it

Yeah, people massively underrate just how important alcohol was and still is to a lot of atrocities. Getting soldiers to participate generally requires lowering inhibitions and nothing gets the job done there like booze.

dead internet theory was just slightly ahead of its time

insofar as any one person is responsible for the outcome of a presidential election, i think you can make a very good case that nuzzi got trump elected this time

The correct political strategy imo would be to file new articles of impeachment first thing every weekday morning based on the impeachable shit he did the previous day.

this whole administration is full of stuff where the dispute is not "what happened" but "is the crime they bragged about doing actually a crime"

I think it’s a bummer that the GOP has decided it would rather eat the shit sandwich on health care than negotiate a bipartisan bill, but now it’s down to us to make them eat that sandwich.

There’s an Obama ad that perfectly summarizes what it felt like to be alive at that time. Not optimistic, exactly, but hopeful that maybe we’d reached rock bottom m.youtube.com/watch?v=vRu_...

Plus a lotta people got severance packages and had no good options so they pursued passion projects. The rise of food trucks & craft beer & Resiliency/Flannel Culture was desperation, but reads like optimism in hindsight.

They sent JD Vance to Indiana and they were like never do that to us again

The thing about Trump is that the more people who stand up to him the more people will see the Emperor had no clothes.

I think we know who to thank for the failure of Trump's effort to bully Indiana Republicans into passing a new gerrymander: Aftyn Behn, Eric Gisler, and every Democrat who's run in a special election this year. The GOP saw all these overperformances, and they were right to be scared.

WOW. Indiana Republican senators refused to be bullied by Trump. Overwhelmingly.

This is approximately the R&D spending of UC Davis in one (1) calendar year

so many of our current problems stem from americans not being able to comprehend that a guy they know from tv might actually be stupid

they're coming to him with tears in their eyes saying sir, you have no juice, you have the least juice we've ever seen

BREAKING: Over the last hour floodwaters have inundated Sumas, Wash. Flooding will soon be starting in Sumas Prairie.

About a third of North Dakota’s energy comes from wind

this will affect me directly. the political hobbyists who made excuse after excuse for chuck schumer and called me an idiot for saying he caved? not so much.

More generally, LLMa and user skills are complementary. You get more out of llm usage if you know a lot about the task.

Congratulations you fucking morons

Pitbull, mid-2000s romcoms, huge fake fur coats, Starbucks iced caramel macchiatos, putting sun dried tomatoes in everything like it's 1997

Putting Elon Musk on the cover of a magazine for anything other than “his illegal government funding cuts have already killed hundreds of thousands of people, mostly children” is propaganda

Going on a national book tour with John Fetterman’s Unfettered called the “You Are Supposed to Think We’re Interesting Tour 2026”

Remember that Trump and his propagandists tried to gaslight you into believing there was no percentage in taking on this fight, that it was hopeless. And a certain cadre of pundits tried to persuade you that Dems didn't dare discuss this in public. Still not over yet but a big step forward.

she commits perjury without fear, for the same reason she ignores courts without fear - the promise of a trump pardon. this is an organized crime syndicate fueled by a sense of invincibility. for this country to survive, every single trump pardon, past and future, must be nullified.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

the thing is there really is a epochal tech revolution happening, it’s called renewables and green industry

Sometimes I think white peoples obsession with rewhitening media is a form of self-soothing, like sucking your thumb. if all the lantern jawed manly white men and submissive blonde thin women return, things will be okay again and the world won’t be so scary again. Sometimes it’s just racism.

Once again thinking about the time on Twitter where some guy was complaining about how a morning show don’t have any white people on it and I posted a picture of the morning show and it had 4 white people and one black person and the guy said “yeah but they wish they could fire the 4 white people”
