Milei handing Musk a chainsaw at CPAC a week after he pulled a crypto rug pull sums up the current conservative project pretty well.

Tip for b-movie fans: if more than one 1940s horror actor is in a movie made after 1949, 90% chance it’s bad. If you have one 1940s horror actor in a movie after 1970, odds go up to 99%.

My cartoon for today’s @guardian books.

Hugh Jackman is like… imagine if Gene Kelly had spent 90% of his career doing cowboy movies. Some of them might have been good, some bad, but geez, what a waste of his talents, overall.

Hey @chatterton.bsky.social Rufo, among many other things, made up evidence that Haitians were eating people's pets. Now some 500,000 Haitians who were here legally are likely going to get deported. Glad he criticized you in "good faith" though. Enjoy staying on a platform run by the administration

The federal budget reconciliation bill could include an unprecedented $175 billion for immigration/border enforcement, 6X the annual budget of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) & Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) combined.

The one piece of legislation this Congress will manage to pass is a bipartisan bill making it a felony to speak to a member of Congress without being invited to do so.

For the record, I do like some egg punk, but I’m also an old head now.

This is how the Tea Party started, after all. They just showed up and talked angry shit for a summer & then they got a lot of money from conservative donors, ran candidates for the next Congress and voila, the groundwork laid for takeover of their party. It is far from impossible to do. Hint. Hint.

Eric Andre asking who killed Hannibal is apparently graphic content, according to BlueSky! Great job, no notes!

Clicked on the Reason article by a trans writer & it’s just this, blaming progressives for what the new administration is doing.

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 is uneven, but Hooper making the Sawyer patriarch a reputable local businessman who hates regulation and lives in a Civil War theme park was very prescient.

This is like a gag from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2.

Normally I'd be like "this is the problem with the washington press corps being made up of tryhard square dorks because they don't understand what people who are taking serious drugs look like" but tbh in 2024 all of those guys should at least know about people who abuse adderall act like

*Stares in Tobe Hooper*

If America (and humanity) is still around in 200 years, the Donald Trump musical is going TO SUUUUUUUUUUCK.

why do i feel like powers boothe will soon be narrating recent events over a campfire, stoking the fire to make a dramatic point in his story

What can you even say. Elon is such a piece of shit

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

I think the last 70 plus years should have taught something about how much even a small proportion of a nation resisting an invader can mess up a technically superior force. And yet the amount of ppl who think we could successfully annex Canada…

So much top to bottom comic gold in this. Statham is a delight!

Watched the original RED DAWN last night & it is fascinating how its production history & various cooks created such an ideologically bizarre film!

Guys, TCW sucks, but the fact he posts shit like that on bsky means there’s a non-zero chance this is a kink.

Three areas where you don't want to hear someone say "OOPS!": 1. The nuclear weapons arsenal 2. National flight traffic control 3. Viral surveillance & safety Starting to think the "exploding rockets and crashing Twitter" guy might not be the right expert to run our government.

BREAKING: Trump has ordered the immediate demolition of the American Football house.

Anyway, here's an example of an AI having been poisoned by memes. This is actually a sketch from I Think You Should Leave

WHAT IF… the Girl in Gold Boots had founded Club Scum?

You ever think about the fact there was a hair metal band with a guy from Dag Nasty/Minor Threat?

Just had the thought after rereading SCP-592 is that you could do a SCP on an LLM/AI that is accidentally exposed to the Natural Language Processor summarizing CHRONICLE OF THE 20th CENTURY.

Every Executive Order these days: youtu.be/r7l0Rq9E8MY?...

It me

The only part I got wrong so far is claiming Collins wouldn’t vote yes.

The current American president will finally answer what the Pinochet coup would have been like if Pinochet had been eventually thrown out of a helicopter by Milton Friedman.

I know things are serious and ppl are stressed, but what would be the funniest knock-on effects of annexing Canada? For me, it’s thinking about the American film industry having to deal with the LES BOYS franchise.

Apologies to Harry Turtledove, having to watch a racist South African take over the U.S. and not even getting royalties for it.
