Should I already understand why he's wearing a safety vest? Because I definitely do not.

One cool way to solve homelessness that isn’t an authoritarian take over of a city is to give everyone homes

Can't it explain it but this was a great combo:

This is Spinal Tap (1984)
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

imagine fleeing the Vietnam War and in your arms you're carrying a baby who will one day grow up to correct the US Secretary of Defense on his jeans. like bringing a football into the end zone

I laugh shit off but this is absolutely enraging. Working food service is one of the hardest jobs in the universe and the kitchen is one place where it's a level playing field. Everyone gets a chance. No matter how you look or where you're from or what you did, you're in the trenches together.

That is pretty brave, you're right.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social look what popped up in my YT recs lololll (I did not click it)

earlier today there was a group of 10 year olds on the train saying stuff to each other like "i am 31 years old" and "i just turned 34" and laughing harder and harder each time

It's understandable we all mostly take it as a given that Trump doesn't bother to adhere to Constitution or the laws passed by Congress, but it is still both (a) absolutely necessary for our democracy and (b) good political strategy for Dems to file articles of impeachment over this.

I cannot overstate how much I do not want ADHD representation in a book's main character. Writing a list and then losing the list? Forgetting everything you're supposed to do at all times? No ability to track the passage of time? 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘥𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦
NO FUCKING THANK YOU

HATERS WE OUT HERE THIS IS OUR YEAR

One of my beliefs that is hard to put into words is that most of the so-called obesity epidemic in America isn’t about food, but is instead about the fact that we work too much and are hopped up on cortisol.

What are the mediocrities going to do when they find out that “DEI” isn’t their problem? I’m curious.

Ok I’m gonna spell the plot out. It has nothing to do with TikTok as a platform and everything to do with major corporations ignoring a national security law passed by Congress and upheld by SCOTUS because a man who isn’t even president yet told them to.

That’s the plot!!!

No way, this is what he wants too.

There's no cultural hegemony on YouTube. Your feed is too customizable to your preferences! Plus, the ux makes Shorts easy to ignore.

Reels is just ads.

Good luck out there!

soo prettyyy

As far as I'm concerned, if keeping your vision for your film under budget requires A.I., you're admitting to the world that you suck at creative problem-solving.

The "radicalization in any direction" comment sounds like a cry for help. We are understandably frustrated, but apparently have absolutely lost the plot!

I also have YouTube Premium. I even spend a lot of time on Shorts! Never once has YT tried to push me rightward. If anything, I've been sent more and more leftist stuff. Idk what's happening! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yaasss
more dudes need that

Ebert’s Mulholland Drive review is one of my favorite reviews he did

these people really are the biggest piss babies on the planet

As the normiest fucking norm in the world, it’s taken me 40 odd years to internalize that LGBT folks are the canaries in the coal mine of America politics, and pretty much have an unblemished record of warning the rest of us about stuff several years before it hits.
