I've been laughing at all these names for a solid minute.

4 months and he's "disillusioned and frustrated" and quits in a huff - totally juiceless. cannot get it done

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

The cement king of Sioux City who drives a brand new F-350 and has two vacation houses in Florida isn't an elite but a grad student with $200,000 in debt and a nose ring is, that's how this works.

Not sure if she was the first, but the first I remember was Jessica Alba from Idle Hands

As a Lakers fan/Celtics hater: Bing bong, suck my dick, let's go Knicks!

People should read up about Cybersyn (Santiago Boys podcast is a strong recommend) or look at the material of a modern Business Information Systems course and you'll understand how computers are systems of power. Great insight by this post's author.

(living in a country where the most successful people are obscenely rich and shameless perverts and psychopaths) Time to teach my children to be honest and study hard in school

Happy May 1st. Big ups to working people. Big ups to unions. Big ups to solidarity.

I know it's not the most important thing here but this story also corroborates one of my biggest theories about these tech guys: they do zero hours of work in a day. They do no work no matter how much they claim to work 14 hours a day. They're just on their phones.

It's so weird to me that sports gambling became totally fine basically overnight. The whole time I was growing up it was understood to be utterly disgusting, debased behavior. Like a rung down from full blown alcoholism

Kurt Vonnegut man

This would make them bored and disinterested at hearings since there's nothing in it for them. It'd be like banning gambling on sports.

Now it's personal

It's 2002 and I'm 22....

The Onion needs to get back to doing satire

less than ten trans women tried to play collegiate sports and now the car dealership class gets to crash the global economy and set up sweatshops in the midwest

I drove a manual car for almost 10 years so my habit is still to steer with my left hand and have my right hand resting on the shifter and sometimes I try driving with both hands on the wheel and it makes me feel like a nerd

Chamayou in The Ungovernable Society basically says this about representation (capitalist economic elite elevate individuals in under-represented racial groups to weaken revolutionary tendency in said group) but the same idea can be applied to DEI

George Lucas right now is hunched over a Wayback Machine mirror of a bunch of 1999 fan forums going wild over how no one wants to hear about trade policy, sipping wine from his California wine farm, just giggling

@ryanhatesthis.bsky.social is good at this.

“American Cartoons don’t show beautifully animated food and slice of life cozy comforts the way Ghibli films do” Oh yeh?? Then explain THIS.

Mr. Miyazaki sir, I love your movies about how capitalism and the destruction of nature are evil, I made a shitty facsimile of them in a computer that drains reservoirs, do you like it

A truck stop is the modern caravanserai

you often see partisan political cheerleading compared to sports, but most sports fans i've met usually have some opinions about the tactics of their favorite team, or are even willing to criticize the management when they make bad calls. political cheerleaders are less sophisticated than that

some are wondering how this is all happening so fast. it's because we are watching the crumbling of a facade, the thin outer layer of something that has been consistently and relentlessly hollowed out by both parties, bit by bit, for decades. this shell was the fantasy world to which liberals clung.
