This is my absolute favorite things. FWIW he was very kind to the crowd of the 12-15-year-old poseurs in the crowd at Roseland Ballroom in 1999

Thank you! Just looked her up and followed her!

Yes the “know your place” of it all, where we’re being scolded for not taking this iteration’s proponents seriously — so well put

I read the "Biden was old" book and the most heart breaking, infuriating revelation was that, in her refusal to appear disloyal (in large part bc the Biden team never trusted her) Harris swallowed her greatest differentiation from him:

That she vehemently opposed the handling of the Gazan siege.

Willow meets her doppelgänger is solid season 3 and we don’t even meet spike until season 2! 😂

Was dying at that scene, and really the whole movie

Please go see movies like this so there are more movies like this. It's such a good theater experience in a way that we don't always get to have these days. It's a crowd movie. Everyone was going nuts. And it's short, if that helps. In and out, best hour and a half of your life.

Poster for the movie I enjoyed, "The Naked Gun." The star of the picture, a mister Liam Neeson is in the foreground of the poster doing a split (in a suit; he's wearing a suit with a red or brown tie) with both legs splayed out to the edges of the poster. Behind him are the words - in big pink letters - THE NAKED GUN. Beneath it says, "The Law's Reach Never Streched This Far. Coming Soon" and underneath that is the skyline for Los Angeles, the city of dreams! Anyway, you have a good night.

They did it. They pulled it off. The Naked Gun is easily one of my favorite films of the year. It just machine-guns jokes in a way that I missed so much. It is stupid. It is nonsense. It broke me and remade me. I'm a better man for having witnessed this movie. Go see it in a theater with a crowd.

for many of the worst people in our politics, the only real belief they have is that it should be illegal for us not to like them

There is just no reason for an event space seating 650 at the White House. Especially not one that looks like a mid-tier Westchester wedding rental

US Senator / Congressperson. I’m always right (natch) but very excited and interested in it when I learn that I’m actually wrong, extremely intense about the things I care about, and very fun to have a beer with

Totally agree. Even so it’s definitely going to be pointed to as reasons to force the humanities into a pretty fascistic information ecosystem.

That’s exactly what I said. I was like “somebody really misunderstood something somewhere”

Fascinating that coding isn’t on this list! When so many people are already using LLMs to “vibe code.” Huh! I wonder why! 🤪

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

Hey, hey, British folks! My book, "Good Game, No Rematch" is now officially available in the UK online and in local bookstores.

You can get it here or wherever books are sold!

Zohran Mamdani scores 17-point lead with Jewish voters in NYC mayoral race Mamdani's support among Jewish voters comes after accusations from opponents and some community leaders that his criticism of Israel represents antisemitism.

it’s almost like all the attacks calling Mamdani antisemitic were vapid bad faith bullshit created by politicians with no policy plan other than smashing the “scary muslim” button

Every blue-haired they/them liberal arts grad living in NYC is tougher than this sad little bitch.

Also the game discussed here, Mouthwashing, fucking rules

A lot going on in this one 😂

if you call and they hang up on you, call back and immediately say you want to escalate to a supervisor because you were just hung up on. you don't even need to say any other details, just that you were hung up on and need to escalate

The game without sexual content of any type, the game about sexual assault, too adult for visa or mastercard too stomach. Because Visa and Mastercard and payment processors consider discussing the impacts of sexual assault to be tantamount to pornography, which is a loaded fucking implication.

This starts in an hour and a half and I’ll be in that first portion at 8 pm. But the whole stream is going to be great and it’s raising money for a great cause.

WCK can use your donations. They are on the ground in Gaza, doing what they can in the face of a staggering and ongoing crime against humanity.
