Cold Crash Pictures

This is the real "AI will disrupt work" angle. They're going to lie about its capabilities, tank companies to buy cheap, increase precarity of work. When the bubble pops, they'll still be well placed to come out on top. Another cycle in the decades long upwards transfer of wealth.

WB (freshly acquired by Paramount) is gonna hold this set hostage for *at least* $80 so be a good citizen and consider pirating 🙏

Gone with the Wind 4K Blu-ray

Honestly thought they were gonna wait for the 90th anniversary (2029) at this point. share.google/QqbJPFwHaXWF...

NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran.

In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack.

So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera].

The US has just committed a war crime.

I remember when I was a kid, family members would say "if you tip 10% the waiter will just assume you're a jerk, but if you tip 18% they'll spend the rest of the day wondering what they did wrong!" and in hindsight that is just an extremely weird fuckin thing to say.

In my lifetime, the median position on service-industry jobs has somehow gone from "they need to EARN their tips" to "they're SUPPOSED to be poor" to "they're supposed to be MISERABLE."

WHAT—and I can't stress this enough—ARE WE FUCKIN DOIN HERE MAN

i am not willing to compromise on basic human rights to win over mythical shithead voters

it is my job to go out in the world and virtue signal my full throated support of marginalized people under attack.

you try to come for trans people, you gotta come through me, motherfucker

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

May you never experience finding out you lost your basic human rights on a social media app.

so fun fact: recently during the fraud investigations being redone by this season’s feds, MN’s rate of medicaid/medicare fraud was well below the national average

nationally, it’s ≈ 6% each year; in minnesota it’s like ≈ 2.5%

we know this is vindictive at this point

Now that I've lived in 3 major American cities I catch myself thinking things like "Minneapolis needs the Asian food of Seattle, Chicago needs the coffee of Minneapolis, and Seattle needs the donuts of Chicago."

this is indeed one of the underlying values of conservativism - and one that's produced a lot of micro-level success for adherents.

it's been a fantastic last 40 years for being a pathetic little worm who spends all day trying to meet and flatter wealthy dipshits.

Think it’s time for billionaires to learn that their wealth being taxed is in fact the most moderate solution to society’s billionaire problem.

It's so weird (but so effective) that I really think it's easier just to watch than explain. So glad the @movieoubliette.bsky.social crew loved it so much!

Monster in the Closet is one of the most unique horror-spoofs I've ever seen. Its tone is firmly tongue-in-cheek, but it doesn't go around telegraphing exactly what it's satirizing, so it has to work as a comedy on its own merits—and it does! It's just a very weird shaggy-dog-style sense of humor.

Carve Hollywood out of your vision for the future of cinema and it gets a whole lot brighter, lemme tell ya.

Seattle has a really "liberal" reputation but this was their one and only strategy for "mitigating" homelessness in the 3 years that I lived there. They refuse to SOLVE the problem, so they just treat the homeless so cruelly that they forget they're dealing with actual people.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Are there any initiatives that Meta is working on which *aren't* ontologically evil?

Insanity btw

Just going to note again, because somehow we've all completely retconned this and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, that pound-for-pound Biden had one of the most draconian border security regimes of any U.S. president ever, second only to Trump, *many of whose policies he inherited and kept*

It's just so demoralizing to be fighting for a spot on a lifeboat and someone who's already sitting in one says "I don't think I'll survive the row over to the Carpathia."

Producers: if you watch an AI-generated fight-scene like this and wonder how you could ever do better, FEAR FUCKIN NOT! Send me a DM and I'll show you the way.

If you can't do better than this then you need to give up your spot for the THOUSANDS of people who CAN.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

A reminder that their lies aren't meant to drive you crazy (although they might certainly feel like that). They're loyalty-tests. They wanna know who will side with their lie over plain reality. They want the boot lickers to self-select, and this is the fastest way to do it.
