I love the 12-D chess of "let's persecute a bunch of experienced NSA security experts because they're trans and hope turning them into unemployed activists with an axe to grind doesn't come back to bite us." Countdown to Rufo's emails including him grooming a 12 year old being publicly leaked.

What’s that joke about every meaningful historical standard of living chart showing the critical deviation point at 1981

BAD. BAD BAD BAD WEEWOO WEEWOO BAD NOT GOOD BAD HOLY FUCK BAD.

this is one iof those things that will sound absolutely batshit till it actually plays out, but I am fully convinced that within the next 2-3 years entire schools are gonna end up losing D-1 status over sports betting scandals driven by the gambling epidemic that we refuse to call out as one

In honor of the Andor trailer out today, I today repost my greatest online achievement: The Andor Characters as Dril Tweets series. I'm going to put them out as I get spare time over the next couple days, as I'm going to put alt text on them too. Starting with the man himself CASSIAN ANDOR

Genuinely kind of funny that after White House reporters spent years complaining that Biden wasn't accessible enough and saying how much more access they have with Trump that they're now getting the door slammed in their faces, tbh

1997

Hey folks, George Lucas wasn’t president of Lucasfilm before Kennedy, Micheline Chau was. If you don’t know who Micheline Chau is or what she did, you don’t want Dave Filoni (or whatever creative person you like) to have her job.

I’ve deleted so many comments about this post and how we got here. Anyway, this should be a huge scandal tomorrow, with interviews of Arab-Americans outaged the president would post something like this. But of course, it won’t even get covered. Too many white folks in diners to talk to.

The real reason they had to dub Gerry Adams' voice on the BBC in the 80s was because he would only speak in flawless Japanese to the British press

wishing publishers that lay off expectant parents a very “burn in hell forever”

if i saw this in a piece of art foreshadowing one character being controlled by another i would roll my eyes and call it heavy-handed

This can never be repeated enough.

In my own practice I find it extremely frustrating how hard it is to even get the most basic sanctions. So far no judge has taken up my “opposing counsel should take a class on the law because they obviously don’t understand” motion.

I love when things like this are released, so when explaining to people what I do for a living I can easily point to this as I explain. I wish something like this had been released for Cats. I did not work on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, although I would have died to get the chance.

This COVID learning coverage needs to acknowledge the impact of desires to get things "back to normal" in schools (and the rest of the United States) as quickly as possible. Now we're getting more data that documents how short-sighted and damaging those desires were www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b...

What’s worse? That the US Attorney’s office for DC call themselves “Trump’s lawyers” or that they don’t know where to put the apostrophe?

uh

Plus she recruited a Nazi to write it.

this feels like a stark and important reminder that mainstream media - ALL OF IT, even the ones where people's opinions sometimes agree with yours - is never going to be a progressive ally. we all know that, but this really makes it unignorable. corporations gonna corporation, first, last & always

Fuck @msnbc.com for this. Done with them.

Microsoft's recently announced gaming AI was trained on the public's gameplay sessions of Xbox's Bleeding Edge, which MS says the game's EULA allowed them to record A new front to debate which data AI should(n't) use, when playing games online = training AI More: www.gamefile.news/p/microsoft-...

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...

this whole fraud is going to be really funny years from now, in hindsight, but it's mostly just infuriating now

[willem dafoe unprompted] now, this cookie monster. [toothy smile] what a creature, what a lust. it consumes him. [crosses legs] he’s really a tragic figure.

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

Remember that O'Donovan once called for "open source" browsers to be banned. He was the minister overseeing the OPW but blamed the cost of the Dail bike shed on cyclists in general. He blamed the Dublin & Monaghan bombings in the IRA. I've eaten more intellectually curious cabbages.

this is genuinely so fucking annoying. this is also the guy who tried to important decades-old war on christmas rhetoric when the live nativity at the mansion house was cancelled by a mayor due to animal welfare concerns. now importing DOGE-esque nonsense. loser behaviour.

to give you some context, the sheriff of Kootenai County is a white supremacist gang-affiliated LASD member who ran a campaign mostly from California on an anti-antifa platform

With MCU tentpoles running under two hours and a slew of over/under 90-minute programmers making up the vast majority of early-year theatrical releases, we are seeing quite a few films that can -- even counting previews and credits -- come in at under the two-hour mark.

This is a really fun site if you are interested in the production design of Star Trek. It's a catalog of identifiable commercial products used to make things look "futuristic". star-trek.design

No trans doctor has been accused of anything but you wouldn't know that from the Telegraph's coverage. This has been on the front pages for two days (Friday, Saturday) and now this. Any infractions always remained on record.

It’s amazing how concerns about the President’s cognition disappeared on January 20, 2025.

The villain from Moonraker has a head on him like he writes opeds with titles like "the harsh truth about Ireland's neutrality, and what it means for schools' rugby" in the Irish Times

btw, they have zero capacity to process that many emails without running them through an AI, so this is basically an announcement that AI will determine whether they get fired or not.

I really hope these new editions can bring Beckett's fiction to a new audience. When I was doing my M.A. a number of students who intended to write a thesis on Beckett changed their minds, largely because so much of his work is out of print.

I fear this is just stage one. Next they’ll claim they have to sell off this land because we “can’t afford” to maintain it.

all skeets expressing such thoughts are merely quotes of the robot and therefore free speech, dear secret service.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again
