this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

Sinners is so Irish it’s crazy.

Authoritarians make everything unstable. Their facade is stability, but the inherent structure of the authoritarian system is instability. This is both and. Trump’s lawless authoritarianism is crippling the economy.

Sinners is the shit

FFS I got death threats about making Optimus Prime the wrong kind of truck when I wrote the TRANSFORMERS movie. Do the job or get out of the way.

The 13-story building would be called Asterisk Santa Monica

It works well when the fastest way to get news is on a horse through the mountains. We need a modern electoral system.

I think New Yorkers are a bit snooty when it comes to their urbanism in part because their buildings are tall. You can *see* the city from a distance.

Men should get hair implants but to grow a beard like Dr Richard Kimble.

NIMBYism is a cultural problem as much as it is a legal one. If people genuinely don't want new housing, they can usually find or invent some way to block it. We need to get rid of the legal barriers, but we also need to make NIMBYism less respectable.

AI is turning people into machines. It’s all about boosting productivity. Companies are using AI to scan resumes to eliminate candidates and job seekers are using AI to boost resumes. Companies are asking applicants to pinky promise to not use AI in their applications. I want to live in a cabin.

Blue sky may be a liberal/left echo chamber, but I think that’s partly because people who don’t care about politics are on instagram and facebook, and twitter is straight wack.

Who replies to the reply guys?

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was pro public transit. The Fugitive was anti big pharma. No internet around to defend the villains. What an age to be alive and into movies.

I’m not a power of positivity guy, I think entropy is a bitch and systems and history shape us in profound ways. But I’m also a humanist. I think we constantly underrate the things humans can do if we put a conscious effort to it.

I never know how to tell people that the closest comp to my life is Indiana Jones
