David Smith's 'Making Monsters' argued that folks who engage in dehumanization often hold contradictory beliefs. For what it's worth.

To that point: I feel like there's a line in an @adamserwer.bsky.social piece from late last year where he spoke about how the Roberts court thinks that the true crime isn't its interest in reviving the Antebellum constitution, but when its racism is publicly perceived.

Happy anniversary to this sketch.

Well done.

As someone who still thinks about the Kareem v. Dr. J match-up from time to time, I honestly wouldn't mind this.

Confused (and sorry to hear) that you disliked it that much.

But — at the same time — you’re not wrong

I 1000% know what you mean. I think that — personally — I’m still unresolved as to whether or not I like the ending. Because so much of the movie is about Bob’s love (“I’m a fool to do your dirty work for you ”) and the movie as a whole take such big swings in so many spots, I’m open to the cornball

But, hey, ultimately? It's whatever. Glad you saw it/dug Penn.

Because the bit from the intro of Chase Infiniti to Sean Penn walking towards the camera with the flames/cross dissolve/song literally called Perfidia playing in the background felt like one solid thru-line.

I know what you mean, but I'm almost of the mind that -- in his head -- PTA landed on a prologue and epilogue for telling this and just didn't flag 'em as such.

I was just about to ask if we'd had a long rest.

We live in a society. Vaccines help us help each other. A lack of vaccines help us hurt each other.

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

Here are the child vaccine recommendations as of November 2024. Keep them with you, advocate for your kids, get the vaccines they need to stay healthy and promote immunity for the whole community. #Health #CDC #vax

Parent and pediatrician here.

All vaccines are still available & recommended. Talk to your pediatrician for more info.

Know this: Even as our government shifts its recommendation language, I would never forgo the RSV, hepatitis A & B, or meningitis vaccines for my own kids.

Of course!

Part of the tension here is that D leadership (Schumer, Jefferies) are arguably not particularly interested in doing anything, as they're beholden to a donor class who doesn't really want anything to happen.

They did!

I mean -- folks have said things, but what they've said has ultimately been more reflective of who these individual D sub groups view their bases to be, which -- of course -- undercuts unified national responses.

General rule of thumb for folks: when people talk about AI the press, imagine them using that language for Clippy.

Also: AI’s are AI’s because of the work of poorly paid, poorly treated data labelers across the world. Someone should extend a hand of labor solidarity to them.
