Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys was a genius musician. His gift for layering harmony was unsurpassed. He will be missed by us all.

Kenny Omega vs Okada is so important, you can hear Kevin Kelly’s voice on AEW. That’s how insanely incredible this is

how may lives has capitalism 'claimed'? they never answer this question for some reason.

Don't do it, Ryan. Don't make an observation along the lines of "The irony of the one thing that can be bought for £1 at Poundland being Poundland itself is not lost on me." That would be silly... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

What gets me about videos like this, beyond the cruelty of it, is how obvious it is that this is a bunch of losers trying to RP as badass action heroes. Speeding into oncoming traffic to ram a stationary car, deploying gas immediately, exiting the car guns pointed, body armor over jeans and t-shirt

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

you show signs of wanting to change the party for the better and they oust you, this party has learned absolutely nothing from 2016, from 2020, and from 2024 and never will

RIP to Brian Wilson, who gave us many perfect albums but also the perfect interview

RIP Brian Wilson. As many of you know, I have only ever listened to one song in my life (Silent Lucidity by Queensryche), but I like to think any song and songwriter that came before paved the way for it to enter my life. I thank you for your contribution 🙏

Sabrina Carpenter doing with Man's Best Friend what Spinal Tap were too scared to do with Smell the Glove

I cannot stress enough how much the anti-ICE protests are an overwhelming win for Democrats on social media. I’m seeing Instagram influencers who stayed silent on politics for the past year loudly sharing support for immigrants. I’m seeing podcasters who interviewed Trump talk about how wrong ICE is

i really need keir starmer to fuck off already.

Remember when Sinn Fein threw trans kids under the bus and we didn't know why and we thought it might be to get Casement Park funding through and then Casement Park didn't get funding? Today Sinn Fein have announced the British Government will join funding the redevelopment of Casement Park.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

its depressingly, morbidly funny to me that the 'no cops at pride? what about the good cops 🥺' discourse happened like 12 hours before the LAPD were ordered to arrest every single person in downtown LA

ICE seemingly confirms they are using National Guard as security to conduct immigration raids. Let's call this what it is, militarized ethnic cleansing.

this to me is also a statement about who these people view as peers worth engaging with

apparently people on tumblr are doing a "hogwarts legacy pride week" (where they're sharing LGBTQ-themed hogwarts legacy content) how about you not do that let's stop trying to pretend like it is possible to make pro-LGBTQ content out of that franchise

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

They've been trying to numb us for a long time. Fascism. Oppression. Genocide. All on display. They want us desensitized, to think it's just the way the world works when deep down we know it is unnatural. Don't let them take away the feeling from you. It's uncomfortable because you're human.

WWE used to be very good at public relations. Now, they constantly make mistakes. Only the densest mark believes Mariah May (a tremendous name!) would choose to sound more like a backup tight end for Georgia State, so why bother?

keir starmer: we are mainlining ai in to the veins of the uk. we are investing £50 billion of your money in ai. ai is the future. we are the tech gurus of europe! wooooh! chatgpt: what... is chess?

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

There are certain people who view empathy as a weakness. I think we should be allowed to punch these people.

"Everyone looks good in a crop top!" GET CAUGHT IN A CROP!

I knew CM Punk wasn't that guy when I learned he wouldn't sign with AEW until the promotion proved itself first. As if Jon Moxley showing up on night 1 to feud with Kenny Omega wasn't enough for him. I'm glad they're about to exorcise those demons for good at All In.

You never know what you’re gonna do when you’re offered a night 1 wrestlemania “main event” and a blood money covered dick until you are offered a night one wrestlemania “main event” and a blood money covered dick

good morning friends 💚✨

Stay down forever

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

sending 500 marines to a county of nearly 10 million people to stand around holding their dicks with nowhere to sleep is not actually the sign of a successful declaration of martial law

yo @helenlewis.bsky.social, absolutely tf not. you are responsible for every god damn thing the trump administration, and the starmer government, are doing to us. you don't get to pretend that you didn't cause all this shit with your paranoid bullshit, alternate facts, and medical disinformation.

No game is worth $80. They're all going to wait until they can sit in my Steam library for years to come, like the rest of the games I bought for $15.

please stand and salute the flag 🫡

Ashley is probably my favorite example of people who say "Toxic men go to therapy please" and they're the most hateful, bitter, unstable person you've met in your life.

The large peaceful national protests a few weeks ago and were almost entirely ignored. A few thousand in LA have the full attention of the fascist president and his gestapo because they're putting their bodies on the line to gum up the mass deportation machine. The fascists react to what they fear.

This is another reason you should be extremely skeptical of widespread delivery drones

"We are sad that the journalist didn't dodge the projectile that chose to go towards her" said her employer. Read more: chaser.com.au/general-news...

In today’s update, their social media manager deleted their reddit account and the CEO, the one with the Make FPS Great Again hat, put out a video blaming an ex-Call of Duty dev for why the game had a $145 skin bundle (but was marked down to $80) which is now $80 (marked down to $40 with the sale)

They figured out after 2020 that there's actually no real need for there to be riots for "omg there are riots!" to be a widely adopted reality.

That’s what the radio free programs sponsored by the cia used to always tell the people in communist countries . Right guys?

important note: the LAPD has figured out it can get footage from Waymos: www.404media.co/lapd-publish...

What radicalized me against the police are the 2020 George Floyd protests in Brooklyn. Peaceful marches descended into violence as the NYPD rioted. They pepper sprayed elected officials and beat protesters with batons. The press blamed us for it. I've never trusted the media on protests since.

One of the "interesting" things about the media (the BBC, in this case) is the insistence of describing heavily armed and armoured police attacking peaceful demonstrators as "a clash". It's both-sides-ism at its worst, attempting to spread the blame to the protestors.
