Eric Alper is really phoning it in these days

“One Battle After Another,” “as great an American movie as I’ve seen this year, doesn’t simply meet the moment,” justincchang.bsky.social writes. With extraordinary imagination, “it forges a moment all its own, and insists that better ones could still lie ahead.”

would be easier to believe conservatives were radicalized by the murder of Charlie Kirk if they didn't seem equally radicalized by the announcement that Bad Buddy is performing at the Super Bowl

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

democrats can now reach young men by telling them that trump wants to take away their naruto and their one piece

every single person claiming to yearn for this would kill themselves if they were subjected to the tyranny of the 56k modem for one hour

Hi hello, don't get mad at me, I just had an idea for a meme and made it

Guy who has only seen Andor, watching the news: Getting a lot of 'Andor' vibes from this…

*fires off a single fireball towards you that slowly tracks you* *fires off a single fireball towards you that slowly tracks you* *fires off a single fireball towards you that slowly tracks you* *fires off a single fireball towards you that slowly tracks you*

they’re having an intellectual dialogue

A trillion more important things are going on, but I need someone to expedite the Andor S2 Blu-ray before the President makes them delete it from their servers

genuinely crazy that this is happening on behalf of charlie kirk of all people

one of the most powerful images of our time

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

may I speak with the primary poster in your household?

Weird, it’s like this guy actually likes New York City or something.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Finally someone might join Bluesky who isn’t younger than 34 or older than 43

honestly id rather be on the planet of the apes right now. the apes had due process

HELL. YES.

horrified they weren’t quick enough to keep her from spreading this kind of vile hate speech on TV. for those who don’t know, “go birds” is a coded expression of support for the Philadelphia Eagles

I think the Detroit Lions might be a good football team.

The "WC" on toilet doors stands for "we crappin'"

Essential. We should be grateful to any writer who tells the truth this clearly.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

This story is a year old and very important. As someone who knows jack shit about right wing references and ideology but knows plenty about gaming culture, Helldivers was specifically attracting fascist freaks even though the devs went to great lengths to explain the concept of satire.

employers across the country are requiring that you turn in a 5 minute+ video of yourself crying over charlie kirk's death by EOD or you will be FIRED

Well I think we know why the Mets can’t win a game now

using Kirk’s death to cynically shill his own book is maybe the most honest tribute any of them have made to him

oooooh that’s Bulbasaur

At the Yankee game. They showed our big wet president on screen. Some people cheered, some people booed. A “fuck Bin Laden” chant broke out in the stadium. Then I got hot sauce up my nose.

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did
