Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.

Everybody’s gonna learn this lesson the hard way: anything even adjacent to this chan culture dogwhistle shit is deeply unpopular. Like the incels they’re catering to, you and your brand develop permanent stench from being around any of it.

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

The Israeli military just killed him.

Ok, Josh. Just one question: Where are all the fucking movies?

Why aren't we suddenly inundated with infinite Hollywood grade movies customized for every imaginable genre and plot? Could it be because the generated films are complete garbage?

If you hate tipping now, wait until you have to tip your online pharmacist at Cost Plus Drugs so he can get up to $24.99 an hour

You’d have to be a rube to believe any rich person would actually follow through on any kind of incentive. They’ll take the lower tax rate and find a workaround that lets them pay their employees *less* than they did before.

Your reward is being rich you’re already incentivized you numbskull

Quick little fact check here: Israel has armed the Burmese military for decades, including during the Rohingya Genocide. Protesting Israel’s genocidal regime directly and materially benefits the people of Myanmar.

Hell yeah

John Swartzwelder and John Ford are the first two that come to mind (though I think Ford’s politics at least are a lot more complicated/muddled than people give him credit for)

Jealousy. Everyone’s mad they live in some jerkwater burg like “New York”

im old enough to remember that ucla is where they let pro-israeli counterprotestors attack student activists with blunt instruments and explosives. and now ucla is being told to pay a billion for antisemitically not doing enough to crack down on those student activists

YouTube video by Kafa Sabit Akira Kurosawa - Dreams Van Gogh

If you want to see what someone with an actual brain does to answer what’s going on beyond the painting, watch the Van Gogh sequence in Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams. That’s an artist building on an artist. That AI shit is a dead body in a river. youtu.be/UmMmHvMsV9w?...

It gets me that they even ask the question in the first place, and bothers me even more that their answer in the end doesn’t even qualify as being half-assed

Who could have imagined a future where we can walk 3 inches down a PS1 render of a dark street? The wonder!

working in the arts means knowing so many people over the years whose talent is undeniable and awe-inspiring, and who spend most of their time working shitty day jobs and struggling to survive

It’s just so interesting when journalists are denied work for having too many conflicts of interest for a story (trans folks) and when they are allowed to consciously tie their lives to their work in a patently unethical way but face no professional challenges (straight people, republicans). Neat!

Balloon boy? You mean yesterday’s top story? Didn’t you hear that was a hoax?

This rocks. It looks like a version of Myst that only Bill Maher can play. It looks like Joe Camel's house if Joe Camel was a real guy.

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

continue to think that one of pritzker’s
political assets is that he is a bit paulie walnuts coded

There is an entire sequence in the film Airplane vs Volcano that hinges on Dean Cain's fingers being too fat to reach an airplane-saving switch.
