Andrew Levine

Thank you for reminding me of the single most deranged interaction that I ever saw from anyone I was (at the time) followinh on Twitter

It’s shocking how perfectly the voices sounded as I read this

Peacemaker S2

Yeah, you absolutely don’t need to have seen any DC movies to enjoy it. What little background info the movies could provide is already clear from context given in the show.

(tom hardy pointing at him) That’s bait

Not everything is a reaction to breaking news. Sometimes people step back and survey what’s been happening.

Houston St in Manhattan

My favorite one of these is that the first human settlement of Polynesia by the Lapita culture happened around the same time that Fleetwood Mac recorded Rumours

Please do not accelerate into the apocalypse over a parody account

Is this guy someone influential? What’s his deal

I ordered Red Plenty Abundance but they shipped me Dark.

Marc Blitzstein, the English translator of Brecht/Weill’s “Mack the Knife”, was an openly gay Communist who refused to name names before HUAC. The version of his song best known to Americans under 50 is the one that was made to sell hamburgers to insomniacs and is now an inside joke among Nazis.

A song by Marxist theater nerds becomes the basis for a gigantic American corporation’s ad campaign which gets appropriated as a a symbol by neo-Nazis. Story of the last 100 years, right there.

No, it predates his tenure at Nick by years.

Too bad the ship arrived too late to save her

She’s not “looking for” anything. She has no agency (in more ways than one).

Passage from the novel RAGTIME

There was a whole subchapter in E.L. Doctorow’s RAGTIME about this. A new life beckoned thanks to interurban streetcar networks. (The time period is earlier though.)

Normally a DA would face a high burden in prosecuting a federal agent: namely that the agent’s conduct wasn’t “necessary and proper” for his duties. Courts have been very deferential to feds on this.

But, uh, getting fired for the conduct makes it more likely the charges would stick.

Now that DHS has called the officer’s conduct “unacceptable”, Alvin Bragg should file criminal assault charges and make the feds either allow them or defend the conduct in court

DA Bragg should file criminal assault charges and make the feds try and dismiss the case against an agent they’ve already decided was in the wrong.

That’s the crazy part; how is some guy (for whom “no race mixing” isn’t a deal-breaker…) supposed to even guess if he’s one of her people or not?

Sold used cars with shot transmissions to his fellow furries.

Indeed!

Had my eyes peeled for the background casting trick ever since Doctor Who did the same thing two seasons ago

Uh… English?

Would be funny if the trans enby who’s running a long-shot primary campaign to unseat him ends up in Congress after all

I’d use the tool. AI is not just LLMs, stuff which just describes text from an image is a-ok to me.

My existence is not a problem, Politico.

I got one signed by the artist last year.
