i feel like all the "just grow and preserve your own food" morons yapping on here are doing so bc they've never actually done either of those things, bc it is unbelievably easy to kill your family and yourself with improper food handling and canning techniques. you do not fuck around with botulism

Former heroin addict turned HGH guy with worms in his brain who plays around with roadkill and only drinks raw milk: Everyone else is stupid and, frankly, their teeth work too good.

Netflix CEO: the theatrical experience is dead Warner Bros.: bitch please we makin money over here

New York City is dead, murdered from the inside, and they can’t stop killing it. Meanwhile in Paris…

"LET ME MAKE YOU FIRED"

one thing that became especially clear to me while working at the cemetery is that the moment people stopped being able to remember polio and smallpox and getting e.coli from unregulated slaughterhouses within their lifetime, they immediately started disregarding the seriousness of them

Dear god let this man cook.

this movie has a scene in it- i won't tell you which but you'll know when you see it- that is the first time I've gotten that jaw on the floor can't stop laughing with joy Fury Road feeling since, well, Fury Road

Taking the drug made one writer feel so sick she quit and focused on healthy habits instead of her body size. Turns out, 65% of people using GLP-1 drugs for weight loss quit within a year.

SINNERS. Go see it. In a theater. 70mm if possible. I’d read nothing about the movie, watched no trailers — went in blind and was BLOWN AWAY. And Delroy Lindo better get an Oscar nomination.

@sinnersmovie.bsky.social is Oh Brother Where Art Thou meets Blade. Also a two hour commercial for cunnilingus. It's amazing and you should watch it immediately.

Really not good www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/b...

“Produce healthy babies for the reich” is not ideal messaging from the surgeon general

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

When you see innocent people being sent to a hell hole concentration camp in El Salvador, you are horrified. But the thing that most people in the USA still don't want to reckon with, is that *more than half* of the white people in the USA see the same exact images, *and like it*. They love it.

*sigh* I see we're talking about great replacement theory again, because of Elon's weird family planning and village of fashy moms. Periodic reminder: whatever replacement is going to happen, has already happened. Most "white" people in the US are *already* not white due to the one drop rule.🤡

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Replacing the battery & using an iPhone 13 for 5 years rather than 2.5 could cut emissions 49%, "which could prevent 15.6 million tons of CO2 emissions per year." That's as much as a small country. www.wired.com/story/back-m...

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

a substantial and intractable issue is that many people on the left reject the military-industrial complex (good) without understanding how it's tools function (bad) and as a result they convince themselves of shit like this because "looks like a mushroom cloud to me"

It’s official: Stunt performers are getting their own Oscar, starting with 2028 show. Very hard faught win for stunt community and will add more blockbusters to the telecast…

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

Officially trying to build a studio for a publisher pitch. To that end, I'm looking for game devs who've been victims of layoffs or studio closures who'd be interested in signing on if it's greenlit and funding is secured. More info in the thread to follow, but here's the initial list:

Tbt to jack ma, one of chinas most obnoxious billionaires on the same level of cringe and pathetic as elon musk, pissed off the government so he was disappeared for a month and came back just to announce he would give up his wealth to teach schoolchildren in the mountains

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

So from my uniquely weird perspective after living in the UK through Brexit, being in India during Modi's demonetization, and living in Brazil when the real tanked during the Bolsonaro administration, I can confidentally say that Americans do not and can not understand how bad this is going to be.

A lot of very frustrating American political behavior is explained by reasoning something like this: A pathologically mentally unbalanced moron surely could not receive a major party presidential nomination, let alone win, twice. Therefore if he seems like one, it must all be a clever act.

Yup!

derek guy apparently tricked two people into getting into a fight outside a uniqlo

Only a few people really get the opportunity to speak truth directly to the faces of people in power and almost none of them take the opportunity. these people are heroes in my book.

truly beautiful

BREAKING: White House sources report an old Ork Codex was slipped into the President's Daily Briefing and he is now exploring the possibility of ending the dollar entirely in favor of a teeth based economy

Man Who Bumped Tesla While Parallel Parking Sentenced To Death

they called it GamerGate because it opened a portal to a hell. Anita Sarkeessian did nothing wrong.

COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.

if you want to bring back the prosperity* and security of mid-century american life then you need high rates of unionization, a generous social insurance state, and widespread, freely available education. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I’m not going to tell people how to feel about protests… at least not today. Instead, I’ll recommend Sarah Schulman’s book about ACT UP. It’s not just a history of the organization; she also talks strategy in a very practical way, especially regard coalitions.
