“Heritage American” has immediately vaunted itself to the same category of phrase as “cultural marxism,” a plainly ignorant phrase used by people operating in bad faith AT BEST, people who can fuck off into the sun entirely

Sanchez has been living dangerously close to a hand ball carrying it out of his area and whoop, he just slipped and gave up a direct free kick

Tale of 2 halves, Villa take the lead and completely deserve it

Aston Villa decide that they might should have some points today

Genuinely believe that cops have become a service elite—a hereditary caste w special legal priviliges and status—like samurai or boyars or Qing bannermen

Burn DHS to the ground, dismantle the entire system that makes aggressive nonsense like this even possible

Verbruggen, my man, what are you doing?! The only reason that isn’t DOGSO is that he was so far out of the box when he put the tackle on

Ah, yes, the perfect cure for a credibility crisis threatening your institution - lawsuits about the very thing causing your loss of credibility, truly a win-win

Oh, man. I know folks LOVE Connery and Ford’s chemistry and there is some fun stuff in Last Crusade, but I think it’s Raiders, Temple, Crusade, big gap, Dial, Skull.

The new Avatar movie is coming out soon and while, yes, I do think it’s impressive that a film franchise can gross billions of dollars and not have any apparent cultural impact, but also, A TON of hit movies from the 1920s through the 2020s manage the same trick on a slightly smaller scale

Every Sunday, protesters from Florida and beyond go to the notorious immigration jail and advocate for its closure

Boxing Day Premier League off to a banging start with the Dorgu goal against Newcastle, holy smokes

Imran Ahmed says US companies are ‘corrupting the system’ of politics by seeking to avoid accountability

Anyway. They spent the last decade telling us STEM degrees were the future and the Humanities were worthless then they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a glitchy Humanities robot.

"[N]ot only is “AI” not especially new; protesting it has a long history. Inspired by the collective objection represented in this photo, we are calling for resistance to the AI industry’s ongoing capture of higher education."

I don't spend a lot of time on YouTube, but I get a bunch of ads about helping older dudes with premature ejaculations and how to get ripped doing "tai chi" and it's just a great reminder that the algorithms, they are trash, we should have no faith in them

Trump’s lawfare is terrible, house of cards stuff, not standing up to him is a choice at this point

I went through my phase of trying these damn things out when I was a wee mixologist. Absolute scam.

You are getting a live preview of this as streamers “reinvent” weekly drops of series that return in less than a year with seasons of 15+ episodes. Just straight up looking in the camera and marveling at this “hole in the market” that’s actually the shallow grave they shoveled TV into for 8 years.

The immediate threat has always been not that it would take jobs, but that some dipshit exec would spend a billion dollars integrating it into the business, drive everything off the cliff, and 5-8 years later the rest of us are left picking up the pieces.

Jeebus

Jeebus, Google, signing back into Gmail is an idiot doom loop. You try to log in, it opens a browser window INSIDE the app and asks you to open the app, like what are we even doing here

I don't know if this is true but I've decided it's funny as hell. This is the shit that happens when arrogant morons who don't know anything or listen to anyone are put in charge.

The USA “war on drugs” continues to be shockingly ineffective: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

There’s something in here about how after Jesus was born, Joseph fled with Jesus and Mary to Egypt under the cover of night…for ~4 years until Herod died.

Not the first time this motherfucker has made this comparison

I gotta say, making the transition to 32 bit color files makes After Effects even worse at compositing, I really need to complete the leap into Resolve before I throw a monitor through a window

Love this brave new world where every unlimited data plan reminds you that your speed will be throttled after you’ve used a pretty paltry amount of data, words do mean things, just not the things you expect them to mean

I get the rank and file wanting to have a bit of a goof, because hey, we've all been dumb shits just trying to amuse ourselves during a crappy shift. But COs are supposed to stomp on ideas like this, so I'm a bit worried that the chain of command here is a less of a chain and more of a rubber band

I love that he's explaining the housing crisis from the landlord perspective

thinking of the fugitive slave act and people who profited from it

"The Maltese Falcon" era of San Francisco is officially now more dangerous than the version today which makes every tech investor want to invent Robocop

My quick and dirty thoughts on Trump's short-sighted, stupid, and self-defeating ban on foreign made drones. Banning foreign drones won't make us safer. Instead, it'll encourage people to build their own drones - which are way harder to track and to control.

People must grasp the idea of “media capture.” It’s when authoritarian regimes and/or their powerful allies take control of media to stifle independent voices holding the government to account. It’s one way Hungary’s Viktor Orbán keeps power. In the U.S., it’s what the Ellisons have done with CBS.

all this AI and still no spellcheck that works

It’s 69° F in Nebraska in December and I actually don’t think it’s that nice?

Pretty much the only way to take out enough Starlink satellites to crater the service would be to create junk field that would probably wipe out everything currently in space, why wouldn't Russia be looking into it, makes total sense

Dude did a fake presidential run to build interest in a media company, accidentally became the president, accidentally committed a bunch of crimes because he's stupid, then had to try to become the president a second time so he wouldn't go to jail and it worked

When I say "the US gave up on feeding itself" that's what I mean, it's real bad. At the risk of shameless self-promo, I talked about this a few months ago. It's a part of the food/ag problem that just isn't making it onto the news & it really should. youtu.be/2uypc-c5-aA?...

"Tech" when I was in my 20s: People can talk to each other! And the rich and powerful can't stop us! "Tech" now: People can talk to AI! And the rich and powerful can decide what the AI says!

Google (1998): Don’t be evil. Google (Now): Be. Evil.

I’m adapting the Gulag Archipelago into a play cycle, a project I started before Trump II, and it must be said that that parallels between the Gulag and regular American prisons are plenty disturbing, especially the forced labor component

NWSL reaches a new American sports milestone: the need for teams and analysts to employ capologists

The Top 40 of ESPN FC’s Top 50 is hilarious nitpicking

Emerging economies are outpacing advanced markets in EV uptake. The payoff is clear – EVs use three times less energy than petrol and diesel cars, which can cut fossil demand by: 🇧🇷 94% in Brazil 🇮🇩 Nearly half in Indonesia, despite a fossil-heavy grid https://loom.ly/pMmY5Y8

Clueless US media understand Trump's shut down of Atlantic coast wind farms as just some vague national security thing about radar or as Trump's weird ideas about alternative energy. But in Denmark, this is immediately understood for what it is: a shakedown against two large Danish companies,
