Thank goodness the government has finally eliminated climate change.

"Zatannic Panic!" is an objectively good name for a DC Comics Halloween special.

More analog. Paper. Pencil. Fewer screens I know, I’m saying this on a screen. I get that. Still . . .

Whatever the industry, it's never great when a handful of people own more of the things

Ugh. Terrible thought, but it’s here so I’m sharing it with the rest of you: Some day we’re going to get a big glossy JKR biopic aren’t we?

I see a lot of similarities between her and JD Vance because I was also raised in poverty/violence and managed to escape it, and often people with this experience can either credit their escape with luck and privilege or believing they're simply better than those they left behind

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

I'm grading, and students keep referencing things that didn't happen in the section of the novel I assigned. I'm pretty sure this is the AI they're not allowed to use not being precise enough to give them an accurate summary of the assigned chapters without bleeding into stuff that comes later.

The number of cancelations Disney saw in the week after suspending Kimmel was 436% above baseline subscriber churn.

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

There ought to be More. It's a big universe. And a big Federation. *There ought to be more ships that reflect that.* ...They know where to find people who could tell them those stories. :) ...*Tell them to come get us.* :)

I worked for Sam for a year and change in the '90s and it was one of the most bizarre experiences of my life. He drove me crazy but l had a lot of affection for him and his family. Rest in peace, you absolute legend.

This isn't even a case where you could argue that it's distasteful but we need the energy: coal has been dwindling as an energy source for the last few decades. There's literally no reason to do this beyond weird ideological fantasies!

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

My God, this is a gift to Democrats. I would be such an obnoxious carnival barker in their position. "Once again the Republicans are carrying water for their pedophiles as they did with their disgusting boy-rapist speaker Dennis Hastert!" www.npr.org/2016/04/27/4...

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

The worst part is knowing exactly how the Centrist Democrats, especially the white christian ones, will react to Trump handing them an easy excuse for them to all vote for his bullshit.

Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.

Kavanaugh stops

This is like the late stage capitalism version of Lost Cause nostalgia for a past that never was.

I know combat veterans who are registered Republicans (I’m 48 & white) who will not think this is cool or good. Good this news is out there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why the wealthiest and most powerful companies are hemorrhaging money to invest in a technology whose only logical endgame is to get us to unlearn problem solving and working together.

The "Cult of Thorn" trilogy may not be the best version of the Halloween franchise, but I maintain that taken as a whole it is FUN. (Halloween 4 in particular is one I would put up against most of the other sequels in the franchise)

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

Why share this with a headline that does nothing to indicate how empty the announcement is? Since the last time he announced this, there has still been no explanation on how to impose an import tax on film distribution.

In the past week or so, President Dementia has posted to social media (1) what seemed to be a DM ordering his attorney general to prosecute his enemies, (2) an obviously fake AI video of him announcing "medbeds" are real, and (3) this video sent by a company lobbying him on medicinal weed.

I am completely swamped with grading and committee work and all I want to do is go see ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

Trump just announced a 100% tariff on foreign movies—five months after he last announced he was going to do it and Hollywood freaked it and no one was ever able to pin down how a tariff on a film would even work. New post provides no further details.

The number one movie at the US box office this weekend was filmed in California. It also raised a giant middle finger at Trump and his militarized goons terrorizing anyone who appears non-white. Something tells me Donny Boy didn’t watch.

Yeah, everyone hates the AI subway ads as much as you do nygroove.nyc/ai-subway-ads/

Hopefully the teams at Bioware, ReSpawn, Maxis, etc are taking a hard look at their options and exit strategies.

Welp, EA is now owned by a group including the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund and Trump's son in law Jared Kushner (CEO of Affinity Partners). Good luck Bioware - I wish your brand of queer centric RPGs good luck... www.eurogamer.net/ea-privately...

Through 14 James Bond movies, she portrayed Miss Moneypenny. She was a Golden Globe winner, who also wrote a weekly column for the Toronto Sun. Her life was full and her legacy remains. This is the story of Canadian Lois Maxwell. 🧵 1/10

I will start teaching my students how to use AI when my colleagues in computer science start to teach Homer, Dante, Langston Hughes, Borges, Foucault, Audre Lord, Spivak, and Donna Haraway in their classes

Trump, who has frequently called for the execution of all drug dealers, just posted a video promoting CBD oil for seniors. The end of the video promotes a group called the Commonwealth Project, which advocates for medical cannabis use: commonwealthproject.org

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

Jeffries is a goddamn loser of the highest order.

Asked what JLA’d do to stop the latest scheme from Legion of Doom, Superman replies: "I'd hope that perhaps Cheetah and Captain Cold would join us in preventing it from happening." "I know they're loyal to Luthor and do whatever he wants but this is so far over the line" See how dumb that sounds?

The Ezra Klein style of caring about political “strategy” over consistent moral principles and values of your own reminds me of how a lot of pop culture consumers obsessively track box office and chart performance rather than just evaluating based on whether things are good or if they like them
