I'm willing to test this theory

If a Croque Madame talked to another Croque Madame about anything other than a Croque Monsieur Would they have passed the Béchamel test?

Also, this is why the Paramount/Skydance/Warner Bros. Discovery merger is so terrifying to us all. Fewer competitors means fewer movies and shows competing in the market. Less choice, fewer jobs making those choices. It's lose/lose for creatives and audiences both.

So when you read articles or see news pieces on how bad Hollywood is doing, it's not that people are consuming less—it's that Hollywood is making less and narrowing you all into watching the other stuff we're making. The saddest part is this impacts marginalized and young creatives first.

Everyone knows Hollywood is fucked, but most people don't actually know why. The studios used the strikes as cover to cancel a full 1/3rd of TV production across the board. 1/3 of TV cast & crew are out of work. Fully. There just aren't jobs for them. Many are people who made your favorite shows.

*dusts off pitch* Please read my prequel, it might earn out someday! And also it's very good.

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

I have bought a lot of Moleskine notebooks in the past but can VERY easily avoid giving them any more money in the future. Huge mistake for a low level luxury brand like this imo. Incredibly easy to walk away.

Hey @janne42.bsky.social whaddasay? Time to pick up where we left off, end of season 2 wasn't it? 😉

Dearest Kobo users, do you know if the time estimates get much better with use? I'm breaking in a new Kobo ereader. Even though I've spent 17 hours on this book and am at 54% (yes I'm slow and also easily distracted), it confidently states I have 3 more hours to go. Like, sure, but also no.

Shadowrun has more believable worldbuilding than we do.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Tonight at midnight The Great Moose Migration starts, five days early. Several weeks of livestreaming from the north of Sweden, where the moose trek through forest and over a river to their summer grazing.

"AI is garbage, bro, it gives you wrong answers like half the time and the other half the time makes you stupid." Overheard a middle schooler chastising a fellow student for suggesting they use AI. Whole middle school herd started mocking the AI kid. ...We need to let these kids at the tech bros.

Fucking TROLL! XD

I did not guess.

This one by @cengaldre.com is a perennial favorite (ha, perennial, see what I did there)

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

The AP's story on the IOC's new policy mentions that it "also restricts" athletes like two-time Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya. That word "also" is doing a lot of work. New piece on who this policy is actually about: www.readtpa.com/p/the-iocs-n...

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Coworker starts the week by bursting through the door and proclaiming "Soon it'll be Friday!"

I don't care about sports, aggressively so, but watching Vasaloppet on TV today is a tradition. 90km cross country skiing, thousands and thousands of people participating. Elite, noobs on skis, and everything in between. Kinda love it.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Detta är det så viktigt att vi pratar om! Den stora skillnaden mellan högern och vänstern är människosynen. Den ena sidan tror att människor är lata och älskar att utnyttja systemen medan den andra sidan tror att människor vill vara till nytta och en del av något större.

get in losers, we're starting the best-financed lit journal in america

This helped me better understand just how vast the distances in space are. joshworth.com/dev/pixelspa...

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

The majority of the US population its concentrated in its cities. While cities don't make people like each other or stop racism or genders or misogyny, they do MASSIVELY offset all those prejudices because that clumping of diverse groups FORCES them to get along, just enough to stay alive. >

Not a projection. 450 Torches. Carried up the mountain and place correctly by 10 residents.

I told Discord that LLMs are a planet-killing plagiarism machine that also rot the brain and spit out wrong answers, and also that I am exhausted with having to kick AI out of every online/computer-based place I use. I told them I probably wouldn't bother; I'd just stop using it.

Alla som kan ett visst ämne inser att just deras expertis inte kan ersättas med AI. Vilket förklarar varför politiker och broligarker tror att vi alla kan ersättas med AI.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

See why do we have to have like bigots and Nazis and hating other people for stupid ass reasons when I just looked at my planet from the surface of another planet and I don't even have shoes on. I'm in Soft House Clothes and slippers looking at my planet on my phone. What.

wait, if I'm reading this right, not only is high fat cheese protective against dementia but so is whipping cream, my favorite food. Best news of the year!

I love the fucking internet, part 972964386: "One Night In Bangkok" arranged and performed as a 16th century chanson. youtu.be/i3jHv0GZB9U?...

Won't watch new season of Star Trek Strange New Worlds, though I like the show. Also won't be watching Starfleet Academy. The progressive ethos of Star Trek does not align with its corporate ownership. Jean-Luc would cancel his Paramount+ subscription. hugoclub.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

Entering my Luddite era. Not luddite as anti-technology. Luddite as in desiring to work in harmony and honesty with technology I understand and respect and maintain. Luddite as in fighting against those who warp it into monstrosity and leverage it against humanity and community and the common good.

Ibland tänker jag på hur vi fildelare beskylldes för att finansiera terrorism. I dag investerar ägaren till Spotify pengar i digital vapenindustri. Varken artister eller världsfred har verkat tjäna på det lagliga alternativet. Nästan som att systemen var riggade från början.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Great thread on why the Nordic model of sex work is an abject failure and the only approach that has ever actually improved sex worker safety is full decriminalization
