I have a theory that the awfulness of SNL is what finally purged that last of New York's relevance in the entertainment industry, and sent every meaningful dreg to Los Angeles

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.” “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

You can't make this up.

Going back through old memes yields some true gems

This clip should be everywhere Democrats can get it. This is how we need to learn to speak to the press.

Is it immoral that I see all of these apps/games that charge ridiculous yearly subscriptions (with ads) to use now, and I desperately want to undercut each of them with a one-time $0.99 app that does the same thing?

Like, I'm not looking to make bank here, I just want people to have good software

The entire Eastern seaboard going blue would be so tasty omg

It really is a weirdly consistent trend in this country that Democrats poll worse and worse the closer to an election - if they're not like 15 points up a year beforehand, they're doomed

As in, a schism between the absolute freaks and just kind-of-freaks like Sliwa, with the latter hopefully winning out

I wonder if there's some very early foreshadowing here of what Republicans will be like once Trump is finally gone

One of these two things is capable of writing The Winds of Winter, and it's not the one wasting its time on a jealous lawsuit

What if we invented a model... for language... and made it really large...?

That's a great interpretation of how it works, although I feel like we might be giving far too much credit to the writers of that game in assuming they meant it that way LMAO

(I love Shadow though, so overhated)

This + a healthy helping of the effect nobody ever acknowledges: "red and blue both pretty colors, I like to switch it up every time"

It is continuously demonstrated that fans of the New Yorker do not think the same way as the rest of our species

I suppose you could read that he finally (*slightly*) resumed listening to whatever heart he had left after the shock of getting Hank killed, but even that ends up feeling unearned

I mostly see that in the last episode, where his exact motivations are kept vague (like when he hands Jesse the gun), but I do agree that it's weird - he struck me as a monstrous control freak in hiding ever since the first episode, but it's weird that lots of fans thought he "eventually" went bad

Apparently the Tea Party really refers to the fact that Bilbo should have been allowed the peace to sit there in his hole and eat tea cakes until he was dead as fuck

Ahh okay! Let me be helpful by downloading all of your art, erasing the watermarks, and training an AI image model on it so that even a stupid damaged idiot like me can see your wonderful works without ever having to bother you again - after all I'd hate for you to have to subtweet anyone else

Fuck me, I honestly thought Season 5 was (ever so slightly) weakened by catering to that kind of fanservice if anything

I never learn from my eternal cycle: watch a show, think it was wonderful, browse its online communities, realize I absolutely detest every last person who says they're a fan of it because they don't get it at all

Reading average comments about Breaking Bad/BCS after watching them melted my brain

Maybe you gotta screenshot, crop, and post for here

Fucking hell I thought this wasn't about baseball for a second, you had me so excited

Border Patrol Chief Bovino exited the federal courthouse in Chicago today, facing questions over his use of tear gas in communities despite a federal ban without justification. Before leaving, he stood in the truck doorway, fist-pumped, and then placed a CS grenade on the dashboard.

Your parents are your negative first cousins once removed

The ideal robot brain will have a temperature slider that turns it into Salvador Dali at high levels

Wild that we've done a full 180°, and people will now refuse to believe that a real robot isn't a Mechanical Turk lmao

I've already seen that with people assuming that complex AI web apps are somehow just a rando behind a keyboard

My State Banned Vaccine Mandates. Here’s How I Covered It as an Idaho Journalist. The Idaho Medical Freedom Act, which makes it illegal to require almost anyone to take a vaccine, test or other “medical intervention,” comes amid a national measles outbreak larger than the U.S. has ...

NEW: The Idaho Medical Freedom Act, which makes it illegal to require almost anyone to take a vaccine, test or other “medical intervention,” comes amid a national measles outbreak larger than the U.S. has seen in decades.

And the best part is that the town board is always comprised of the most powerful local land+business owners!!

A recognizable last name because the local shopping center/tourist attraction has your family name, and unfair tactics are barely even necessary because you'll win on name recognition

American community politics are HILARIOUSLY corrupt and undemocratic as well - every town/city board is packed with people who pass endless unconstitutional ordinances, accept massive bribes to allow any development or permits, own the police department and make friends with the county judge, etc

I feel like people have a weird blind spot in this country where we all hate police overreach/surveillance, but when it comes to traffic cameras, suddenly they can do no wrong and it's authoritarian to ban them
