There is a point where false statements go beyond knowingly deceiving, it's abandoning the rudimentary meaning of words to impose a coercive control over perception. This is 1984 shit.

Sorry but I love it every time that the fraud betting apps go health insurance mode and find the smallest discrepancy to justify not paying out to the inside traders who are its core customer base. Eat shit.

Gorillaz "The Mountain" 8-minute short film is now online. Directed by Jamie Hewlett, Max Taylor & Tim McCourt at The Line studio. An homage to the golden era of 2D animation, produced with a hybrid analogue-digital workflow. >> www.catsuka.com/news/2026-02...

You can just say things.

I predict that once this deal is done, James Gunn will be fired as head of DC Studios.

Who did this??

I get that not everyone is familiar with sci-fi terminology but a newscaster on NBC describing robots as cyborgs annoys me greatly. youtu.be/stNO7V8xJHk?...

Happy Anniversary to those who celebrate cat attorneys.

Kudos to China for declaring that car companies shouldn't be allowed to let people burn alive in order to have fancy futuristic doors.

Canada is laughing hysterically tonight, and I’m with them

so if Grok was a humanoid robot, at this point we'd simply take it behind the shed and blow its positronic 'brains' out and everyone — including Asimov, rolling about in his grave — would agree that's the only sane and safe thing to do

If somebody could have convinced me in the 90s that conspiracy theorists would embrace the new world order, I would probably have been less frustrated by their bullshit.

I'm done ordering books from Amazon, the lower prices and fast delivery does not justify them destroying books with their nonsense packaging. This business model might work for them but continuing to engage with it makes me an accomplice and fuck that.

Tokyo Godfathers is one of the best films of this century. A key reason is that it portrays Tokyo with an almost overwhelming level of care and detail. Satoshi Kon and his team moved mountains to make this film's world feel real — as we explore today: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/satoshi-ko...

Buddy: it would be cool if a telepathic animal was discovered Me: physical constraints make it impossible for biological organisms to control the generation or reception of radio waves Buddy: I mean like reading minds without signals Me: how do you suggest that would work? Buddy: telepathically

Adopt far-right policies to stop the far right gaining influence - continues to be the stupidest idea in European politics today. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

Look I will admit that I'm quick to label things copaganda. But surely anyone will recognise that this is embarrassingly blatant. Like some designer was tasked with disputing ACAB.

this is like that scene in office space where the consultants end up loving peter

It's ironic that many billionaires have a nuclear bomb shelter, because they will be the most useless people around in a post-apocalyptic world.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

I don't really like the thought of keeping an animal in captivity even if all its primary needs are met and has a healthier, safer, more joyful life than its kin in the wild. It's not even about the animal really. I just don't want to be a prison guard.

best part of this is how elon musk's definition of "swindler" is also the most concise possible summary of how he became a billionaire

This is how a dictatorship works

Giving real Paprika dream parade vibes.

I'm sure the majority here is cognizant of this but when you are in an environment where some share their bigotry and you ignore it, that makes you an active participant in normalising and enabling that behaviour. Cowardice ain't a defense for hanging out in a neo-nazi pub.

When authoritarians tell you they like authoritarianism, over and over and over and over and over again, believe them

Satoshi Kon would have turned 62 today ;_; Fanart by Jinou (x.com/Jinou_rakugaki)

A window into how policy is made in this White House

They present themselves as alpha dog prayer warriors fighting the final battle against evil, while also being utterly terrified of everything.

"I reject your accusation BUT if I were to do that it wouldn't qualify because I apply arbitrary definitions to this matter." It's odd how common this type of defense is, perhaps because of its ease but so incredibly weak and self-incriminating, or if you expect to be exposed eventually.

He should ask his buddy Netanyahu what an army without rules of engagement does when their own hostages run to them waving a white flag.

Loyalty tests all the way down

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

This isn't about antifa, this is about the NGO's. The goal here is to eliminate philanthropic support to major liberal groups through intimidation. They're going to starve liberal groups of funding while hitting them with millions in legal fees from investigations. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

3 weeks after Trump's inauguration, JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference claimed that Europe was undermining freedom of speech. This wasn't out of concern for free speech or Europe, it was a preemptive strike. He portrayed himself as a guardian to counter the impending criticism of a crackdown

President Michael D Higgins said some of the EU's strongest members are "deciding to stay silent in watching emaciated children in what is a human, manmade, really atrocious infliction on people" in Gaza

I recommend everyone watches this

Charlie Kirk claimed that Trump survived his ear bleed by divine intervention. Well then the obvious conclusion is that Charlie wasn't worth that type of omnipotent micro management, for those who insist in believing in that sort of magic.

I spent years researching and trying to explain the imperial boomerang to people and he just … tweeted this out

It drives me up the wall that some will still argue that in his heart Trump isn't racist. What's in his heart, mind or soul doesn't even matter when he openly uses racism in order to rally support from racists. That's not some ambiguous means to an end or undercover infiltration, that's a racist.

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

I'm skeptical of compliments in part because I often fail to notice sarcasm but also because it doesn't seem genuine relative to my own assessment. But this all goes into hyperdrive when an LLM says: "Excellent question and you've put your finger on something nuanced and insightful." FU LIAR GTFO

Good thing skulls symbols and mass deportations don’t have any bad historical connection.

I often get the impression that Dutch has a rather limited vocabulary

True.
