Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

this has become a very important video to me

tfw you’ve got the Wall Street Journal a little worried

I'm just going to point out a couple of things:

1) They've always been like this. They're just getting more bold.

2) There are more of us than there are of them.

This as well as the ones who don't care, but see bending the knee as an easy way to get ahead and/or get away with anything else that they actually want to do

It's like they can't wrap their heads around the fact that some of us actually want all people to be able to have enough to live a reasonable life...

How Trump flipped America's race conversation Language that once was disqualifying is now a fixture of national political discourse.

Here's a better headline for Axios: "How Trump has normalized racism and racist slurs." Why can't some journalists just call a thing what it is? https://loom.ly/hiKWr58

“i asked chatgpt”

yeah, well i asked my kitten, but she was too busy making biscuits to care, and i think her priorities are correct tbh

Stock price chart showing the 64% decline over the last six months for duolingo

Duolingo announced it was going “AI-first” just over six months ago. Since then its stock is down 64%.

dhsgov Deliver justice to criminal illegal aliens. Become a deportation judge. Save your country.

DOJ's newest recruitment ad features Judge Dredd, the comic satire about the dangers of lawless policing and authoritarian power

Apparently a local distillery now makes 152 proof rum. I saw a bottle labeled batch 1, bottle 7.

No, I did not buy it. It smelled a little too strongly of bad decisions lol

Besides, I don't have my burly ex-military friend trying to see just how much rum he can put in my rum and coke right now lol

Yeah. This is going to go well...

Actually, this country was founded for, among other reasons, the purpose of being the ones who decided who was persecuted and so their land could be taken.

Something something "merciless Indian savages"

It's literally right in the Declaration of Independence

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.

That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

What kind of president would say something so disgusting? It’s downright unAmeric—

Oh wait… I forgot that Abraham Lincoln & Thomas Jefferson said the same thing.

Never mind

A billionaire is upset because people didn't lick his boots and decided that was just too much to deal with.

He wanted to be worshiped and didn't get it. This was especially funny after his "the world would end without billionaires" bs (literally said the stock market would fail without them)

lol the new guy lasted four months at Microsoft. VPs aren’t even having any impact at that point.

Sounds like someone needs to be primaried

Oh look. More people going "Gen Z doesn't understand the workplace and will fail"

No, Gen Z understands that the workplace is *broken* (something a lot of us have been saying for decades) and is trying to do something about it.

That scares the people in charge.

Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Yet another college that needs to lose accreditation

…Oh. Oh no. Oh no nonono. …And yet: of course.

"Gen AI" tells you the thing you are statistically most likely to accept so you keep using it— & research shows that most people who like "AI" like it *Because* it sycophantically tells them their ideas are great & should defs be implemented. So… Yeah.

It's like a fan of Ayn Rand heard vaguely about Machiavelli

Actually, that's probably what *did* happen...

I've often wondered how he made it past the rank of 2nd Lt...

When people get a little too into method acting

Sometimes method acting just goes too far...

What a great headline

Honestly, random sales during the year are usually better than black friday sales anymore. I got a few things on my price watch list that legitimately went on sale, but other than that I didn't buy much
