Software necessarily gets worse under capitalism, per the good-fast-cheap rule. Management sees your options as: 1. Good and fast: “you went over budget” 2. Good and cheap: “you missed the deadline” 3. Fast and cheap: “you can fix it a later release” 4. Good, fast, and cheap: “meets expectations”

If nothing else, Adolescence has fully justified and permanently cemented for me my longstanding disdain for the “composite oner”, wherein Hollywood crafts the illusion of having more filmmaking skill than it actually does. (Also, I’m no longer forced to bring up Russian Ark as a counterexample.)

Finally watched The Substance (2024). Like a lot of recent horror, it had both interesting and banal things to say, and said them in both subtle and blunt ways. Before watching it, I suggest you ask yourself three things: 1. Am I okay with needles? 2. Can I handle body horror? 3. Do I love ass?

So after they’ve fully demolished the US economy and unemployment is sky high, we all get that one of the very next steps is “the only way we can afford to create enough jobs is to abolish the minimum wage”, right? And nobody’s gonna be surprised when it’s got bipartisan support, yes?

oh Hillary and Harris "warned us" Trump would be bad? just like every person on the planet who wasn't trying to sell you something? did they also "warn us" that they were incompetents who were going to lose to him? because that seems like the more important thing to have known

Well, see, that’s the thing about the United States: it’s been in a “maybe we are and maybe we aren’t” state of emergency ever since 9/11; and no politician — no, not even the Democrats — have been willing to call for an end to it.

“they’re sending INNOCENT people to the camps! Not even the ones who DESERVE it!” “they talked about committing war crimes in a SIGNAL CHAT! They’re supposed to keep that stuff SECRET!” liberals are okay with the US doing unspeakably horrible things, as long as they’re done “correctly”

Which was your first Star Trek? I was raised on nightly #StarTrekTOS reruns, back when your options were “the TV show” or “the movie” (singular). (I suppose the animated series was also out there, but I didn’t even know it existed until we got cable sometime in the mid-eighties.)

Worth remembering that the point of confronting officials, if that's a tactic you choose, isn't to make them see how they're wrong or whatever, it's to break their morale. Keep going y'all.

Being trans is wild bc I’ll just be sitting there thinking, “okay, but did my dad ever actually make me feel bad for being girly?” and then suddenly remember the post-apocalyptic fic he wrote when I was 14 about how I had to murder my way across the country, Rambo-style, to rescue him and Mom.

Followed a starter pack a couple weeks ago of supposed good eggs; have been steadily unfollowing ever since as more and more reveal themselves to be defenders of Twitter and Substack.

Since everyone’s talking about Roko’s basilisk today: this is the same logic at work. You will be retroactively punished for failing to uphold the fascist regime that didn’t even exist at the time of your “crime”.

The government is about to give OpenAI the ability to legally steal if we do not flood this page in the next 12 hours. OpenAI will have immunity from all lawsuits regarding copyright infringement. All other AI companies will follow. Do you despise AI? Dissent, retweet. Do something. #furry #art

Imagine how different things would’ve been if Patrick Stewart actually left #StarTrek after season three: - Riker takes a break from trombone and starts playing jazz on that flute from “The Inner Light” - Star Trek: Riker on Paramount+ - And of course, one of the most iconic moments from the show:
