Can someone who’s not a chud or a tankie give me a reason to be cynical about Carney’s housing thing he announced today because it seems pretty decent compared to what I would’ve expected from the Libs

How many people who would believe this also know what “hyperbole” means

Most articles written about this pissed me off because they called it “AI” when it was clearly a deepfake

I like when things are brown. Sometimes it means they’re chocolate, or a dog. But then of course there’s poop.

was just on a flight seated next to the current keyboard player for [famous band] and at one point he was Googling the former keyboard player

If you subscribe to some form of homophobia and the song doesn’t immediately reverse all of that I think you should be eaten by bears.

Not topical and I’m not the target demographic here, but if Chappel Roan’s “The Giver” doesn’t make you feel unbounded joy I think you should hit yourself in the face for a million years until you die.

The thing about the Who’s On First routine is that it’s premised on there being a guy whose last name is literally I Don’t Know. An 8-year-old could come up with something better

It’s all subjective tho, BLAM just never completely clicked with me. But when it comes to new music I’m Team Steve.

My opinion on BLAM is perhaps unpopular but it is as follows: “…eh.” There’s some good songs on it but I think overall it was overcooked and undercooked at the same time, if that makes sense. I suspect this was when Steve started checking out and I think the writing suffered. E2E was pretty good tho

Lifelong BNL fan here, the dropoff started a *little* while before Steve left but has been precipitous since 2009.

The film's planned release on Thanksgiving 1994 was delayed due to the monitor that they were using to capture the film's animation having a single dead pixel, forcing them to recapture three-quarters of the film again with a non-defective monitor.

happy 30th birthday to A Goofy Movie which debuted April 7 1995, half a year behind schedule due to a single pixel on a single monitor

Trump's Tariffs and the Conservative Death Drive The tariffs reveal a crucial element of right-wing psychology

I wrote about tariffs and the longstanding conservative desire for conflict and strife, even when it doesn't seem to make any sense.

You will be a happier and more pleasant person if you learn to funnel your anger (righteous as it may be) through something more productive than resentment & condescension.

Let it motivate you to directly combat ignorance & bring ppl out of it, or rant and rave about how everyone’s dumb; yr choice

I think of this whenever some conservative finds some supposedly wacky research topic that government grants pay for
