Jeffrey Epstein, a great, great guy. Very innocent and perhaps more innocent than anyone knows. And I had nothing to do with him. But he died like a dog and nobody thought we could do it but we did. They said sir the video will cut out for a few minutes and I said wow. And we'll see what happens

Taxing billionaires out of existence may be the most critical domestic policy fight of our lifetimes.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Children trapped in Texas immigration facility recount nightmares, inedible food, no school A photo of Liam Conejo Ramos, a scared 5-year-old, drew attention to a detention center in Dilley, Texas. Advocates say his experience reflects what hundreds of children have endured out of public vie...

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.

just idly remembering when i was assembling my dissertation for final submission in 2017 i was chided by one lovely professor at a conference, who felt my use of the phrase "the return of fascism" to describe the present moment was "alarmist"

if you spend any significant amount of time on X the everything app, your brain is being cooked

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Fox using this image when (if you can bear to watch it) the video upthread shows who actually kicked the dog is such slimy racism

Jim Henson would have built a practical eyeball-cannon housed inside the Beaker puppet is all i am saying

Henson’s whole thing is to do a magic trick so well that you forget a magic trick is being done at all - as when on talk shows he pointed out there is no need to conceal his lips moving when Kermit talks because Kermit is so convincingly alive we don’t need him to

the whole Henson thing is to get the audience to go “wait how are they doing this” (cf Kermit “drinking” his milk in the very first episode way back, turning to the camera, and saying “think about this for a sec folks”). you can’t just CGI it!

i liked the new muppets with two notes: 1) let’s tighten the writing for next time - this was cute but we can go snappier! i am free to do this 2) the CGI eyeballs for Beaker was CHEATING this is the Muppets we gotta do the tricks in-camera or classic film techniques that the whole assignment!!

i had plans but alas

Catherine O'Hara on Jiminy Glick. She's just firing stuff at him left and right. She makes up a negative review he wrote about her!

There... aren't any trans characters on any current Netflix shows. The number is already zero.

today has been an amazing day for refreshing webpages

worst version of this engagement farming was final rounds of Twitter - the game there has now become to create completely opaque, senseless vids/posts designed to trigger a fleet of morons to ask grok “context?”

no clearer illustration to me of Arendt’s point - fascism unstitches meaning itself.

i am experiencing like a low-key spiritual crisis at this feeling that life has just become broken forms and endless logistics that accomplish nothing at all

i feel like Ian McKellen crying on the set of THE HOBBIT bc life has become nothing but green screens

please stop making me fill out forms and fill out forms to access forms to fill out

i would rather eat my own face
