Still looking for a (70s I think) training film I saw at The Vortex Room in 2009. 16mm. Sales training - specifically for liquor wholesalers selling to retail stores. Breaks the fourth wall. Breaks an actual wall. Guest star some guy with Love Boat/ Fantasy Island vibes.

you should want people to not use this website. to think otherwise is to adapt the religion of EverythingAppism. it is to become a Muskovite. you should pine for a return to the era of web forum

people don't realize how concentrated GOP fundraising is. more than half of all money that they got in 2024 was from donations over $1mn. it's like 200-300 rich cranks that keep the party operating. underrated explanation in why they've gone so insane.

Guaranteed someone from ICE did this. Someday the centrist zombies will realize pretending anyone in that agency is a human with feelings is a bad place to start negotiations

When John Yau tries to picture where Jeff Koons’s sculptures belong and to whom they are speaking, he thinks about President Trump’s plan for a gaudy 90,000-square-foot ballroom for 1,000 guests, which was funded by private donations.

Stephen Miller reminds me a lot of a kid from my high school who stood up in one of my classes to tell us about Milton Friedman. Post graduation he became a professional poker player and brutally murdered his parents.

I hope ice agents consider that things are hopeless and there’s only one way out from the lifetime of poor decision making that’s led them to where they are.

It was not "domestic terrorism.” It was state sanctioned violence. A family will forever live with the pain caused by the admin's reckless and deadly actions. Abolishing ICE is not enough. They must be held accountable.
