When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Fascism cannot produce art that lives because living art relies on unqualified engagement with an other, a challenge to the self. Fascism can only ever conjure an ever more atrociously gilded mirror reflecting back faces that refuse even the realities of time.

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

"Suddenly I have a refreshing mint flavour" is a line that I like to use and paraphrase when the opportunity is right. No one gets that it's a MST3K line, but it amuses me and that's what counts.

So this remake really has nothing to say then. Having played the remaster last summer, the side story of Kiryu emphasising and supporting a trans woman at a bar was wholesome, insightful, and progressive (especially from 2009). Cutting that from the remake amidst the current climate is shameful.

Whether he resigns or not, what I'll remember Starmer for the most is his abject cowardice.

Working from home today in general silence and then all of a sudden, I hear a loud buzzing sound from the landing as a wasp flies into the office room, before turning around and flying back out. The wasp ultimately came to a rest on the front door, so I opened it and the wasp just flew away. Huh.

IF THIS WORKED, SHE WOULDN'T NEED TO SELL THE TECHNIQUES TO YOU

Embarrassing to see adults talk to robots in a public forum. That'd be like if your friend asked a mailbox for directions once. You'd roast him for decades for that shit. Every time the concept of navigating space came up you'd hit him with "Why don't you ask the mailbox?"

when you say “duhh ai writing is good actually” you’re the yellow guy. this is u

Whitney Cummings, an anti woke reactionary who is fresh off a multi-month long crashout over criticism of her performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, got hired by the Daily Show to say Vote Blue No Matter Who??? What the hell is going on over there?

This is an amazing idea, I'll tell you hwhat. I'd like to imagine a world where it was 'King of the Hill' that had a vast library of video game titles: • Hank Hill's Lawn Management • Lawn Mower Grand Prix • Peggy Hill's Cooking Mama • Bobby Hill Beats Up Arlen • Dale's Bug Hunt • Pro-Pain! Online

Exactly—people need to understand the implicit threat here, especially given that we live in a society where we’re regularly told that unhoused, disabled, or out-of-work people don’t deserve to live.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

this is literally the critique of crypto that was offered when it was launched, so please, fuck off into the sun

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.

Idiots listening to idiots.

"Core value reforms" is a newspaper-friendly euphemism for "kick out all the gay kids and adults."

"What the fuck is this...? The pedophile's ball?"

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Watching an episode of 'Um, Actually' and was pleased to see a Transformers-focused picture round that included both Rung and Scrounge in the line-up. The contestants did guess Ripchord as the fake, but only after guessing everyone else first. They were also amused with Rung's alternate mode.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

IT'S JUST A FUCKING WHOS WHO OF PEOPLE WHO RUINED LITERALLY FUCKING EVERYTHING FROM HOUSING TO HEALTHCARE TO POLOTICS TO VIDEOGAMES I HATE IT HERE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Absolutely losing my mind over Ava, THE ROCK'S DAUGHTER, quitting WWE despite them offering her a raise to keep working a pretty cushy kayfabe general manager gig and then the day after her contract ends she posts this

I have now watched all 14 seasons of 'King of the Hill'. Yep. The show has its ups and downs, but it's a very funny watch that clicks with me much more as an adult than as a teenager when the original series aired. Definitely looking forward to more from the revival.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles. "The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

Thinking about how the victims of Savile & other British Celebrity Rapists did go to the police but for some reason the police only ever started investigating said cases once there'd been a documentary on the telly about it

It's funny how all these billionaires started buying up all the social media apps, newspapers, and television networks right as all these revelations were starting to come out.

This is the first time I’ve read details about a bomb that was set off in residential London street, destroying cars and sending shrapnel into kids’ bedrooms. Young people are considered vulnerable online, but the actual radicalisation of old generations is given a free pass by the press.

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

Super weird how none of this stuff wound up in the Isaacson biography.

"Lacked balance"

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

Wrong fucking Home Alone 2 actor goddammit.

Onto the revival series (ie, season 14) of 'King of the Hill' now, and it hasn't missed a beat. Yep. It's great to see that Bobby's doing pretty well for himself. Sadly, with their voice actors passing away, we don't get to see how Luanne and Lucky are doing.

the primary blocker to UBI is the puritan belief that humanity is so sinful and depraved that it should not be permitted personhood unless it becomes 'civilised' that's how liberal social policy ended up asserting that helping people would harm them but hurting people would help them

Part of the secret of how this works is that, if you are in the "founder" tier of guy, a bunch of stuff that you count as "work" is stuff an actual worker would get fired for doing on the clock

9-9-6 was a Chinese term invented mostly to show how depressing and lifeless work culture was; watching softbrained AI guys adopt it as an ideal is ... well, entirely predictable

Finished all 13 seasons of the original run of 'King of the Hill' now. This also included watching the intended original series finale out of order, so the final episode that actually aired just ends on an off note. Yup. Anyway, next is the revival where we jump forward ~8 years to present day. 📺

They could always try just listening to Black people and LGBT people, and especially Black LGBT people.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

I think a lot about Parmy Olson's observation that AI companies actively push everyone to talk about existential risk, because it distracts from more prosaic current day concerns like copyright theft, conditions for data workers, energy & water use, and their financial situation

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

load bearing tweet for a settler colonial society

This perfectly demonstrates the pernicious nature of BBC two-sidism. It almost always benefits the side with the most power. In this case that's the side which is murdering peaceful protesters in the street, on camera, and then lying about it

In a surprising way of showing its age, a season 13 episode of 'King of the Hill' (the last season of its original run) is about Hank and Strickland Propane getting involved with social networking >beat< through MySpace.
