Why on earth would they think they would get away with this aside from the ample evidence of every administration always getting away with whatever crimes they cared to commit going back to the founding of the country.

The Hector-verse is the wildest verse

"Epic Handshake" meme, a muscular black arm shakes a muscular white arm. One arm is labeled "Bryan Johnson", the other "Qin Shi Huang". Below them, the label "Achieving 'Immortality'".

I think I can totally empathize with 3rd Century BCE Chinese peasants, just sitting there, watching a rich asshole trying to reach Immortality by taking random shit that definitively will fuck him up.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

i think some of us become so excessively kind because we've been treated so cruelly before

Even there Nolan is basically just hitting his hobbyhorse of “what if I try depict nonlinear time in an inherently linear art medium” again and again and again.

IMO the thing that is most interesting about Nolan’s films is how they’re constructed and edited, the actual content is just dross that only exists to give occasion for the editing. But that’s also the part people like because it makes them feel important when tropes are made to feel serious.

They not like us was good and all but no diss track ever went as hard on somebody as when Thurl Ravenscroft told the Grinch that his heart was filled with unwashed socks.

Think about all the evil assholes in this administration.

They *all* expect to die of old age, obscenely wealthy, surrounded by family, because that is how the US has allowed *every single previous evil asshole* to live after doing their atrocities.

They learned they will never be punished.

Yes.

This is exactly the kind of story where the reporter knows the angle is bullshit, but it’s insisted upon by the editor, who usually doesn’t know dick about shit.

Genuinely it rocks that a bunch of dudes whose sole media diet is action thrillers and who have never read an academic nonfiction book have convinced the investor class to bet the entire U.S. economy on a gamble that relies on an untested technology raising productivity more than electricity did

Sam Altman wants to make an artificial general intelligence not because he wants to exalt the machine but because he wants to degrade the human.

It was a bad idea even from the standpoint of the tsar, but if there was one thing tsarist Russia didn’t have a shortage of it was bad ideas.

Which Muppets are in the Epstein Files? Fozzy Bear, obviously, but who else?

in western medicine the burden of proof for calling an illness "psychosomatic" is so low that it's basically free. as long as you don't literally see someone bleeding out the ears you can just say "you're making it up" and it's considered a legitimate explanation with 0 repercussions if you're wrong

I’m very glad that we’ve totally abandoned meeting our carbon reduction goals in favor of building robot that makes wikihow illustrations.

If you look at the state of private debt right now it is shockingly similar to housing in 2008, a lot of really dog shit loans that were only made because they could immediately turn around and sell it as a synthetic derivative, which is then itself packaged up in a nesting doll of bad debt.

I try to mostly drive the speed limit and let me tell you, American drivers do not appreciate this.

Tilikum is tragic hero imo. Kind of a whale Ned Kelly.

These guys are about to have a resurgence.

A screenshot from a recipe website. At the top the text "Lamb and Clams". Below that "Eating in - 03 August 2020". The picture shows a beige bowl with brown broth. There are veggies...chickpeas and red peppers, I think. There are two open clam shells and several slices of lamb meat, cooked somewhat rare.

WHOAAAA BLACK BETTY

This a great album for when you want the music to hurt you in a very specific way.

That’s like a hipster free-range locally sourced artisanal slur.

This is just a thread of early to mid 2000s alt rock…

Anyway, This is How You Remind Me by Nickelback. This song is so good I bought their album without listening to the rest of it and then was like… no… oh no…

Imagine going on the Internet and just telling on yourself like this.

“The enemy is over there!!” *points*

Yeah no shit dude they’re like 2 feet away on the living room floor way to contribute bro.

Yeah and I guess he is probably the richest army man given all the change he probably finds in the course of his duties.
