"Any movie you love, directed by a man, edited by a woman. Which means a woman directed it." (Patton Oswalt) George Miller shot something like 400 hours of film for Mad Max Fury Road, which he handed to Margaret Sixel to find the story. And that's why she got the Oscar. 😉

it needs to be the one with the sign or no deal

Blue Origin rocket test, 28 May 2026

HOUSEGUEST: hey what's up with the bathroom door, it only opens half way ME: oh yeah you have to squeeze through to disguise loading times, there's a whole bunch of high-res towels in there

Jesus Christ. What the hell are we doing here

one might ask why a free speech org is scrutinizing the small dollar political donations of private citizens

IT'S LITERALLY FUCKING CENSORSHIP

God, I know it isn't the point but why is it that all of these aesthetics obsessed losers dress like absolute shit.

if one removed people who obsessively talk about teenagers' genitalia in public, a huge swathe of the conservative movement would simply vanish

Anyone even remotely involved in making this shit deserves infinity in super hell, having their bone marrow dissolved in acid while ants eat their eyes and testicles.

look at him. he doesn't even have any money

Remember when Obama promised in his campaign to codify Roe and close Gitmo when he got a legislative window to do so, then when he got it he said it wasn't a priority anymore

I was only on the site for a few seconds when I saw the ‘$ spent on AI since page load’ section. As an artist I could survive a lifetime or two on what these twits spend on their plagiaristic slop generators in a few seconds. Incredible.

This is North Korea level bullshit, and a total fucking disaster for science and for the United States alike. It doesn't matter whether it fails to pass; this kind of thinking is already penetrating NIH, NSF, NASA, etc and causing severe harm. NASEM, AAAS, AAUP, etc must condemn unequivocally.

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

When Eliwood asks if he’s getting deployed in Hector hard mode

I have already spent thousands of $$s in legal and relocation fees. Moving back to the United States on an expedited O-1 talent visa application will take another $6,000. I humbly ask you to be a champion of press freedom and support @thexylom.com, so I can continue to do this work I deeply love:

writing tips - experimental fiction edition. you might think that experimental fiction is the type of writing that needs the fewest rules. you'd be dead wrong

Masterclass. If youre at a rally, a protest, any kind of charged event, you need to be aware of this at all times. If you have privilege; white, cisgender, straight-passing, ablebodied, whatever– Be aware of the threat to minoritised people and try to get between them and anyone who wants to do harm

video games cost more money to make and are more expensive than ever, but at least they now sometimes shut down forever a week after you buy them

are groceries more expensive? absolutely. but also: they’re smaller

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

If AI is seductive it's because you're weak and a bad writer

my god

4 years estrogen!!! never give up💙🩷🤍

STOP TELLING ME AI IS THE FUTURE OH MY GOD

this has been one of the hardest fights of my life, but we have gotten a win, and it is exhilarating www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

every single trans person i know rn

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

Answering “what is a woman” like I’m trying to word a wish to a vengeful genie

GOD IS A CIS WHITE MAN AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNER FROM THE STATE OF OHIO. HE LIKES GRILLING AND CONSUMING MEAT, DRIVING HIS SPECIAL EDITION CHEVY SILVERADO, IGNORING HIS SMOKING-HOT WIFE AND THREE STUPID SONS (KADEN, CADEN, AND CASON), AND WATCHING THE CLEVELAND BROWNS LOSE TO THE CINCINNATI BENGALS.

I truly cannot imagine how the Lost Generation and Greatest Generation must have felt watching their fucking kids and grandkids ripping out all the financial, labor, and political reforms they fought tooth and nail for by the roots. They bled for it, and yet here we are again.

Fresh new American dystopia headline just dropped www.thegamer.com/grammacracke...

whoops the contradictions of capitalism have become too obvious to ignore and it’s bumming everyone out

Think we need a whole class distinction specifically for the “journalist”(propagandist) subgroup of the intelligentsia who increasingly devolve into out of touch insular morons who can no longer maintain the illusions that keep the prols from recognizing their material condition.

Wizards get so mad when you kill them with a gun. All like “ahhh I thought we were doing it magic style” or “this was supposed to be a magical duel this was your idea glggh ack” it’s like dude I’m not dueling you with magic you get a good grade in magic I am bringing my Sig

Coming from me this would be wildly antisemitic. Coming from a vicious barbarian like Smotrich, it lays bare the philosophical heart of Israel as a project. And the constant conflation of Israel with every Jew everywhere is both false and wildly dangerous.

i cant believe tom steyer is the first dem politician (that ive seen) to proudly and forcefully make this correct and obvious counter argument to the bigotry but im glad he did

Damn The novelization of STAR WARS: EPISODE III — REVENGE OF THE SITH didn't have to go this hard in its prologue, but it sure as hell did I've got fuckin chills

Lotta y’all have some deprogramming to do because these mentalities listed below are literally ruining the internet and all online community spaces

it's the greatest day

Mass Effect 1 fans be like 'this is why it's the best one'.

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.
