Liberals just want to go back to how things were … when Black people were under constant threat by police, when women could rarely get restraining orders against abusive men, when the US government signed onto the gcide of a people… gtfo of our humanistic tent. Liberals are the obstacle to change.

Finished the movie. I don’t know whether people are this stupid (some are, most aren’t) or this self-serving (most are, some aren’t).

We’re such a dark, lost species.

Are we really this stupid now? That they get financed is no mystery: it’s white liberal propaganda to the max, pretending to challenge the status quo and inequality while dragging the conversation backward about 15 years.

But critics, other artists: WTF are you doing? Can you not see through this?

I watched the first 5 min of The Substance, a film I avoided b/c it looked so obvious and pedantic. I wasn’t wrong.

This won best screenplay at Cannes. Anora, another so empty and obvious it hurt to watch “female empowerment” film won the Oscar.

I understand perfectly why these get made. Do you?

I had a dream that I changed the title of my film and then after it was made, I was watching it and every time actors would say words that were in it, I was so afraid they’d say the whole thing. This one really got inside my head.

OMG nevermind. How the f did this guy get in my TL?

Babes really? Voting? That’s your solution? I don’t think YOU understand the moment we’re in. Wait how old are you?

Texting my friend how sorry I am that I can’t make it but I can’t untangle the necklace I was going to wear.

The least interesting thing
about Robert Redford is that I met him at Sundance as he was heading to a funeral. He was distracted and I had little to say anyway. Now I’m off to see Devendra, which feels like a wake for a heady, fast moving, exciting and torturous moment in time.
Everything is death.

Airlines Sell 5 Billion Plane Ticket Records to the Government For Warrantless Searching New documents obtained by 404 Media show how a data broker owned by American Airlines, United, Delta, and many other airlines is selling masses of passenger data to the U.S. government.

New from 404 Media: airlines are selling *5 billion* ticketing records to the government for warrantless searching, per new docs we obtained. ARC is a data broker owned by United, American, Delta, etc. Then sells peoples' travel info to ICE, Secret Service, FBI etc www.404media.co/airlines-sel...

The much bigger issue here is clearly that this dumbass completely left out Gen X.

Managed to migrate to Blacksky. Had to use PDS Moover with my browser (Duck Duck go). It took me a long time; it will take you five minutes. If you, like me, mess up and don’t do the comrade option first time, it’s easy to fix: just go into your Blacksky settings and change the handle.

I swear I did. But now I have to go figure out how to fix it.

Yep I messed up (shocked, just shocked) and now I’m lost. I just need things like this to be simple enough for a baby to do.

It’s not, I should have blacksky.comra.de and I don’t know how to fix it.

Thanks, was trying to figure out if I needed to add comra.de to that. Now I’m just in a resolve handle loop. I’ll get there!

What did you put for new URL?

I just got a jury summons. Hahahahahahahahahhaha they really must have loved all my nullification attempts last time.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

I first met Ezra Klein when he was a 19 year old UCSC student. I’ve seen him high in an Adams Morgan rowhouse backyard. I’ve watched him defend Megan McArdle’s honor. I remember JournoList. That op-ed is the most embarrassing thing I have ever seen Ezra Klein say in his entire adult life

Distraught more like.

The big idea The Big Idea: why we should embrace AI doctors People are understandably wary of new technology, but human error is often more lethal

You'd hardly know the Guardian had partnered with an AI company 🙄

If Nintendo wanted to be cool they could release a Mario Kart with Luigi driving a sub.

The pleasures of re-watching classic Johnnie To can’t be underestimated. Exiled (2006) is so iconic. And fun, damnit. The world’s always been fucked up, but there was a time… sorry I just spit out my dentures. Where was I?

No offense but absolutely f**k the NYTimes: do not work for them, do not read them, do not give them clicks. They are genocide propagandists, and doing any of these things is being complicit.

Israelis are mocking American artists who are standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people by writing their names on bombs that will be dropped on people.
These two artists whose names are written here are Billie Eilish and Mark Ruffalo.

“You can go to Gaza.”
