I've realized over the years that, with rare exceptions, most writer's block isn't writer's block at all: It's necessary time that allows the unconscious mind to do its deep work. The great Ah-Ha! moments don't usually come at the keyboard.

how much of the DOGE-driven destruction of the nation’s research and development capacity is because these people are AI cultists who believe that we’re on the verge of creating a sentient general intelligence?

WB knew Coogler had a moneymaker & paid him a premium to have access to the cash avalanche. This is how creative industries are meant to work. Creators are the ones who create- money people invest in the hopes of backing a winner. The fact we see this as unusual shows how broken things have become.

it’s wild how the democratic party is not going to change and will continue embracing the tired centrists after a decade of losing power on all levels

It's official. I filed a Senate Resolution of Disapproval. RFK is CLEARLY in violation of his constitutional oath. He must resign.

if fromsoftware games were easier, that frustration would instead be replaced with thoughts like "yo where am i going? what is going on here? what is a loathsome dungeater? why is any of this happening? why does everyone talk like glenn danzig era misfits lyrics"

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

The foreign emoluments clause was written to prevent exactly this. Blatantly unconstitutional

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

Casar: "The party of 'very fine people on both sides' or 'Jewish space lasers' does not give a damn about stopping antisemitism. If my Republican colleagues want to stop the spread of antisemitism, maybe they should stop apologizing for and promoting antisemites."

When I was calling out “But her emails!” guys like Fournier in real time, my complaint was, besides letting the FBI anonymously smear Hillary, is that none of them believed it mattered fuck all, esp compared to Trump, who seemed like the kind of guy who’d keep stolen nuclear secrets in the shitter.

I think the biggest thing people need to understand about fascists is that they’re irredeemable. They rejoice in their bigotry, hatred and contempt for anyone who is different from them. People gave a woman 400k for calling a CHILD a slur. Just because she hates the same people they do.

The dismantling of games journalism exactly mirrors the dismantling of the industry it covers. It’s a very deliberate disassembly - media in general is being actively killed off by myopic and utterly useless vandals. I sincerely wish ill for those who indulge in causing layoffs.

The inescapable reality of so many artforms and their coverage is that eventually anyone being real is shunted aside/shuttered/bought out to be replaced by evangelical fan press/pr merchants/marketing people who do it for cheap or basically free Deadly to the artform, while useful to the 'industry'

Look, there's tons of TERRIBLE stuff about RFK Jr. Including what he did to his first wife. The man is a monster. But here's all I needed to know as someone who's also from a deeply Irish-Catholic family. They all came out against him publicly. That's beyond taboo. BEYOND taboo.
