Say the words "portland" or "san francisco" to an autoplay-infected boomer and they will tell you this lurid tale of mad max post-apocalypse. They're convinced every city is a warzone.

Everyone *else* is trying to live their lives and these freaks think they're in mad max.

Growing up in an early white flight suburb, it took me a LONG time to understand that when people said they "didn't feel safe walking", they didn't mean the cars or the sidewalk conditions in winter. (Which they shoulda been more afraid of! None of y'all can drive! And yet you all want me to?!)

Much of what Trump is doing has roots in the Biden presidency. Biden expanded Trump's China tariffs and didn't re-enter the Iran deal. He pushed for the hiring of 100K police officers. He deported 684K people in 2024 & illegally barred asylum seeking. He backed militarized raids of college campuses.

Is the current government putting more effort into enforcing it, or repealing it?

(I also think American Democrats are mostly reactionary collaborators, if that helps)

Scientology? Oh, you mean Temu Gnosticism with midcentury sci-fi reskin?

American Republicans *wish* they could enforce ignorance and prudery as effectively as UK's "Labour" government does.

Mark Cuban is just another evil soulless number-go-up NPC. Don't be fooled just because he devotes a fraction of a percentage point of his efforts to PR, even if most billionaires can't be bothered to do that anymore.

A meme with a bunch of drawings of people with Samus Aran arm cannons with the trans flags that says “Repost this is trans people should have Samus Arm Cannons.”

I take issue with this argument.

Public support for COVID mitigation was always stronger than our policies reflected.

More importantly, that support was remarkably robust despite a coordinated, right-wing dark money fueled campaign to undermine it (which did radicalize a vocal minority).

Pete is a loser-ass coward, one of those useless collaborationists whose opposition to Trump is no deeper than a sports rivalry; principles and beliefs don't even enter into it.

Once you finish those movies, there are 817,000 TV shows waiting for you.

There's no market for AI generated films! The only market is for selling "how to prompt your way to fame" guides - which, if any of that shit worked, people would keep to themselves as trade secrets.

When a single person can jingle keys in front of my infantile brain, what does the entire concept of human creativity and craftsmanship still represent?

The purpose of a system is what it does. ChatGPT exists to prevent students from learning.

What a ride! Gave me some ideas for a story if been blocked on too.

Whenever I get sad, I always watch this and cheer up because when was the last time you saw something charge up a attack 🤣

I was wondering what I was gonna do with my free evening... Now I know!

Here’s a question: who is the artist with politics you disagree strongly with, whose politics *do* (in your view) influence their art, that you still think is talented and whose work you enjoy?

This post will make a good reaction image I think

I am infamously the worst roller at my table. If they have to suffer from that when I'm a character alongside them, why shouldn't they also benefit from that when I'm the one running something?

10. I'm less likely to want to run an "only the players roll dice" game. Rolling dice is fun and I wanna do it too.

I think its mainly how they are bonus way to bring emotion and character to the face. A bushy handlebar is basically a second pair of eyebrows!

If Trump is this scared about Epstein stuff while he controls all three branches of the Federal Government, imagine how screwed he'd have been if this had been brought up when he didn't!

The Truth Is Paywalled But The Lies Are Free The political economy of bullshit.

Scientific knowledge is in a terminally advanced state of what was described by that old Current Affairs article: the truth is paywalled but the lies are free. And due to a paradox, this fact is rendered less visible *to scientists*, who themselves typically have access and don’t know how bad it is

Proud of my state and governor! Also telling my wife about this news is how she learned AI therapy exists, and she's horrified

Oh boy can't wait to see Gollum eat a fucking baby. Because that's what he canonically was up to.

Between police unions endorsing Trump en masse last year, significant cooperation through 287g agreements, and police reforms being used to reify their unaccountability, it’s far past time for centrist Dems to admit their strategy for addressing policing has been a total failure.

If you can’t see that the richest woman in Britain, bullying a retail employee she’s never met for the crime of existing and having a job, is a monster, I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe don’t watch the tv show she’s only producing because the previous cast of the show came out against bullying.
