it keeps going back and forth between being infuriating and funny how much we study this when the answer is always the same and it never matters

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign....

funded by automakers

because their cars were killing pedestrians

So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.

Still thinking about this quote.

OK Tracer Bullet was good but I assume we're all in agreement that this is the all-time BEST Calvin & Hobbes strip, correct

Is it good or bad that an agency that is technically involved in law enforcement is using ideas from the serial killer playbook?

It’s so funny how true this is and how pissed off the founders are this happened

A photo of Frodo speaking with Gandalf in the Mines of Moria: "I wish it had not happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But the Dow is over 50,000."

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files. 1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files." 2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse." 3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."

Thirsty Star Trek The Original Series scene. Ol' pointy ear Spock is "piloting a shuttlecraft" if you know what I mean. He's looking up and concentrating hard. Closed caption reads, "The area of penetration will no doubt be sensitive."

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40.

Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

Crazy that Costco’s we value our customers message is so much more effective than everyone else telling us to fuck off

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company

we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running

"wages have been flat for decades" is an extremely simple, obviously true concept that explains about 80% of all handwringing op-eds and for some reason they just won't say that

Meta’s internal memo said the political tumult in the United States was good timing for the feature’s release. “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

You should still get rid of your fucking ring camera. Even without Flock they still hand over information to various government agencies on request.

I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog).
