This is the vibe of What We Do in the Shadows

The question is moot Reverend Jesse Jackson Saturday night live Dailymotion video by Jesse Jackson Jr.

I know Jesse Jackson spoke so much truth to power for decades, often with memorable turns of phrase. But his most indelible & quotable line for me is "The Question Is Moot" from this 1984 SNL sketch (alas only available via this low-fi copy):

Wow.

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

YouTube video by BraveShoresVEVO Brave Shores - Never Come Down

Impressive that they posted this advanced promotion for the film... in 2014!

You should check out the movie for sure!

This shit rocks and the comment section on the YouTube video is, somehow, extremely funny.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I really want to know - but once I know, I'll regret it

Yes, on the Blu-ray!

Saw Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie yesterday, and I've spent all morning searching for interviews to explain how the hell they made that! Such a great time at the movies (even if some of my core questions are still unanswered) - no background needed to enjoy the ride

But that would require acknowledging that anti-racism is a reaction to racism, which clearly makes no sense

I want every cis person to read the conversation from this post down.

This is the reasonable concern that is robbing trans people of a meaningful life.

It's pure prejudice. Recognise it, and pick a side.

I really wonder how his admin colleagues and Columbia's tech donors react to their Dean for AI Initiatives publishing this!

Glad to see a Columbia administrator speaking the plain sense about AI so many college leaders refuse to contend with. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/o...

This is the perfect line of questioning to reveal that, even to "an expert" who wrote a book on "anti-white racism", defining "white culture" is impossible on its own terms without comparing to Black, Latino, etc. identity.

It was a pretty memorable & vivid metaphor

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

Got it - yes, I thought "fatal flaw" referred to overall impact, not intrinsic functionality. I don't play for social media points!

And in the 1940s, saying "nuclear bombs are fatally flawed and should not exist, so ignore the hype & propaganda and shut down the project" was totally legit and probably the right call. 80 years later, their existence is not up for debate. We're at that earlier stage with AI now.

I agree that anti- folks shouldn't ignore that there are legit uses, but the boosters cannot treat the massive negatives as just "downsides" on a pro/con list - they are potentially catastrophic at both macro & micro scales. How does me saying "sure, it's useful to automate coding" change anything?

My comment (sorry for the conversational sleep break) was focused on "fatal flaw" as the negative characterization for anti-AI, as I believe there are fatal flaws, while also understanding there are legit uses. The comparative impact of those seem so weighed toward anti- that legit uses become moot.

Good faith. I do think the potential economic & environmental risks outweigh the "things it's good at" potential, and which we lived in a world that there were brakes or guardrails on runaway techno-capitalist hype

Does destroying the economy and/or environment count as a "fatal flaw"?

AG Pam Bondi brought a portfolio of degrading insults before the House Judiciary Committee today, but failed to bring evidence, answers, or accountability.

Today’s hearing confirmed that this DOJ protects pedophiles and sex offenders in power, not the American people.

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.

US Rep. Balint after reviewing unredacted Epstein files:

"They are a bunch of sick fucks. So many people knew." She confirmed Trump lied about kicking Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. Other files show the relationship continued for years.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
