Should be in every newsagents window.

cast the rizzler as cuno in the live action disco elysium movie

The fundamental question of all exorcism movies is "what if a young woman was kind of gross and said a swear and refused to be polite to you no matter how much you yelled about god"

Accurate

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

262 words is not a manifesto, it's barely a manifestella.

can't stop laughing at "Mangione played a game about assassins called Among Us". hope if i ever snap there are headlines like "she played a game about killing the pope called Final Fantasy XIV Online: Heavensward"

You may know about Project Gutenberg, which is an online repository of older, public domain works where copyright has expired. Its offshoot, Project Gutenberg Self-Publishing, lets authors upload their own modern works while retaining all rights. 💙📚

The thing about making Christmas gifts for people is I cannot post them for validation lest I spoil the surprise. But I want the validation to motivate me to finish the craft.

Leaving a bag of monopoly money near your murder scene and watching the cops fail to find it for three whole days while following an unrelated bike is what being a D&D DM is like

WE ALREADY FOUND OUT. THE STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE. THERE IS NO LINK. ITS BEEN KNOWN FOR YEARS AND THE GUY WHO STARTED THIS MESS WAS DISCREDITED AND HAD HIS LICENSE REVOKED FOR IT.

I’m trying to imagine the bubble of amoral corporate douchery you have to live in to think that saying “we guard against unnecessary care” is better than just shutting the fuck up.

Like Tom Holland's Lip Sync battle, we repost this every time it comes across the TL.

Cannot imagine.

the CEO of United Healthcare died and they started the investor meeting on time anyway. He died thinking of claim denial percentages. Powerpoints. His contribution to society while denying claims to stage 4 cancer patients. Work doesn't matter. Your contribution to humanity does. Remember that.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

perhaps the most cogent installment of the "I'm a famous person/athlete who got ME/CFS from covid" interview I've seen love that he's done the reading, and that he draws the links between fatphobia/exercise supremacy, eugenics, and medical mistreatment of long covid and flomasks! in the guardian!!

"I genuinely believe we will succeed. I look forward to a kinder and more compassionate world that will view people like me as valid and worthy regardless of whatever challenges we are facing. Lastly - whatever your stance on #Covid - don’t ever tell a chronically ill person they should die"

That god-awful BMJ review paper was by far the best example of research bias I have seen in a while @LongCovidAdvoc expertly explains how and why 💙🔥 TLDR: BPS lobby we see you! 🕸️ 🙄

People often talk about how traumatic Covid was & use that trauma as an excuse not to mask Disabled people live with that trauma every day. We are painfully aware the threat hasn’t passed. We have to cope with knowing we would be the first people triaged OUT of healthcare or left by the wayside

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

If you cut the roof off of Baba Yaga’s hut it can still run around for several minutes, but this is only a reflex action of the house’s nerves, not magic (as previously believed)

when the blood sugar drop so low you can't even stomach the idea of eating so you lie on the floor and renounce atheism specifically to wonder why god allowed this to happen

I watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time in decades and as I kid I did not pick up on how hilariously mean Glinda can be!

When elitist pundits claim "No one saw it coming", all that shows is who they consider to be no one. Never let them tell you who you are or what you're worth. From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020):

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to. #film #filmsky #movies #moviesky

AOC just voted for the bill which adopts the IHRA definition of antisemitism btw. She was not one of the 21 who opposed it. She voted for it. The IHRA definition silences all critique of Israel. This isn’t surprising. @aoc.bsky.social is not your progressive friend, never was-nothing but careerism

The only live action adaptation I respect

I’ve been doing my annual Dario Argento rewatches and I know people love him for the vibes but i love him for the little moments like this one where a woman standing in a room of cauldrons asks a warlock doing alchemy where the exit is.

Actual serious countries that are democracies require someone to be a government employee, & confirmed by the parliament, in order to conduct foreign policy. We, however, don’t seem to any longer care about the law, constitution, or democratic accountability, bc we are a deeply unserious country.

This is a new opinion piece by martinmckee.bsky.social, me and Kent Buse on the weaponisation of disinformation in the presidential campaign and why it matters for all of us Here I set out a thread covering the main points. Please share! 1/13

Mahjong voice lines which is funnier: estinien knows nothing about it OR estinien is somehow a mahjong savant? #finalfantasyxiv

And then one of the mice said, “But who will bell the cat?” And the other mice said, “Ugh, Nadine, you’re standing in the way of progress. We need to leverage AI to disrupt the cat-belling industry,” and that’s how three years later iCatbellz had lost $178 million.

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur." I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

Pairing Elon and Vivek is like a buddy comedy written by someone who doesn’t understand buddies or comedy

Covid is still the third leading cause of death in the US behind cancer (which is a whole cluster of diseases) and heart attacks (Covid dramatically increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes). You can tell the CDC you think this is a terrible idea here: open.substack.com/pub/peoplesc...

Good morning, bsky. In 2024, I'd love for people to do the work and learn how fatphobia and BMI are derived from and tools of colonialism and white supremacy. You cannot be antiracist and cling to fatphobia. Let me share some links to help you get started! laidlawscholars.network/posts/why-do...

This is a good take.
