In the mid-1980s, Charles Bronson delivered one of the hardest Earth Day PSAs ever seen by mankind.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Insane normal

Richard Norton was a wonderfully talented stunt performer, stunt coordinator, and actor. He was also a friend. I met Richard as the fight choreographer on The Suicide Squad; he choreographed the Harley escape scene, Peacemaker vs Rick Flag Jr. and more.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I think about this headline all of the time.

Outlaws was a goddamn outstanding game! Great soundtrack and fun MP too.

Can someone explain to me why I'm able to tell these images are AI even before I find huge errors (extra fingers, distortions, etc)? Like what are the aesthetic qualities that out these as creations of AI?

Please God don't let Tubi ever start to suck. It is too damn good. Classics for my wife Cannon Films (Bronson mainly) and deep cut horror for me. Pyun's "Nemesis" for dessert? Yes, thank you! Win.
