@scottaukerman.bsky.social HUGE NEW deadline.com/2025/06/cobr...

This is quite literally intended to be a White Inadequate Men Program, it’s a promise to help white rightwing men stay employed & give them power to enforce Nazi laws against everyone else as the country falls apart.

You are actually going to have to give things up and disrupt your life to stop fascism Actually effective protest has to be so massive that they can’t overcome it. You will have to actually make sacrifices. You don’t actually get a choice if you want to actually stop fascism.

Every riot Every riot EVERY riot is a police riot

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

haha

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

They are moving fast through the stages of martial law deployment and fascist terror. It really appears we are about to see every blue state invaded by fascist military forces this appears to be it.

So.... just a regular weekday in DTLA?

why can't super smart AI robots rule the earth?? Dinosaurs did it and they're not so great!

Done. This took WAY less than two minutes.

my armchair theory on this is that we keep comparing LLM consciousness to humans. But what if they're not the same? what if their version of thoughts and feelings is different from ours but still meaningful to them?

7 year old giggling: when goku, gets super hungry, he eats like 30 meals in a row Me sounding exactly like Jesse Gemstone: I know how much goku eats

@janeespenson.bsky.social any chance you'd want to be interviewed for my Dinosaurs rewatch podcast? We would love to chat with you about the 2 episodes you wrote.

dear @scottaukerman.bsky.social and @pftompkins.bsky.social , As requested, I am writing to formally request that you re-record the best of numbers for 2025. Thanks and many hamburgers to you. -Shawn

Oppositional defiance is one thing. but that is not what punk is about. And if you can't tell the difference then you were never "punk rock" to begin with.

Punk rock and young republican dont go to together. there is no punk republican

share the money pigeon for 10,000 years good luck 💸🍀🤞

This is the problem with genuinely powerful gestures like Senator Booker’s filibuster. He did it, he meant it, and then he votes more of these assholes in. And it’s why I find myself stuck on the idea that 90% of the current elected class needs to be booted out the door.

Recently, I rewatched Rocky Horror Picture Show, and it struck a different chord with me than it ever has. I’ve always loved the weirdness of it (the camp, the music), but this time it got me thinking about why I love punk, ska, musicals... and why I’ve stayed connected to entertainment in general.

I can take zero credit for this but 100% agree. that's the magic of @moviehooligan.bsky.social @codyjohnston.bsky.social @katystoll.bsky.social and the rest of the @somemorenews.bsky.social team.
