tapping the sign til my fingers bleed

It’s so funny how true this is and how pissed off the founders are this happened

maybe not the main point but it is wild to be lectured on “culture” by the human avatar of Ready Player One

he has no culture, no interest in anything besides mindlessly saying the names of things he knows are supposed to be cool as some sort of shibboleth

Chariots of Fire unquestionably has the best experimental synth score of any movie about church

Between this and that dude in congress the other day talking about scotch-irish foodways and like everything jd vance says I stg what is happening is these guys are passing around a single used copy of "Albion's Seed"

"Dexter!! What happened to Tyrek Lannister, Dexter!? Is he a man!? Is he a horse!? What has George told you boy!!?!"

people are jumping to point out the examples of people doing creative artsy things with them, but where I know styled subtitles from most is Tom Scotr's videos where they are used to make it clearer who is speaking to the deaf people who actually need them.

What a stupid fucking move from Youtube?

Not to sound like a guy who wants things but I think I would be good at being on Lateral with Tom Scott and I also think I could come up with some good questions to ask Hank Green

The vast majority of people who "detransition" do so as a result of the transphobia they face from a hateful society.

Hillary Cass, who has access to the statistics on this, claiming the opposite in interviews is an open display of how her review was an ideological effort to a predetermined result.

The @bostonglobe.com opinion page this morning is headlined by white supremacist Richard Hanania, whose racist views have been smoothed over in recent months by centrists

Hilary Cass is a crackpot. She is to trans healthcare in Britain what RFJ Jr is to vaccines in the US. She is no better.

Maria Steen, she of the Holy Handbag, argues in the Times that we should introduce a form of marriage with "no possibility of divorce." Maybe she is too young to remember that we already tried this. It ended very badly for some - that's why we introduced divorce.

it’s so cool that the tech world is driving themselves miserable and insane to build apps

Time to dust off a classic

there is an employment crisis among trans women and there always has been, but good luck getting people to see it

At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

Kash Patel going door to door to shock people

Some people are calling it the flag of Woke 2

kid-in-the-brown-hoodie is a whole-ass ideology

Dig for bodies

the more you learn about the antebellum south the more you transform into this

every plantation owner should have been put to death

The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.

HEY

HEY

HEY

the Wii Shop Wednesday Update Day guys made the movie they've been wanting to make for a long time 97% of the tomatoes say it's good and it opens tomorrow. if you've celebrated wii shop wednesday with the song then you owe it to them to buy a ticket even if you won't go to the theater

The inciting problem is that it USED to be an impeachable scandal and just ISN’T now

YouTube video by Alasdair Beckett-King The Crop Duster Scene (With No Crop Duster) - North By Northweird

Five years ago I took the aeroplane out of North by Northwest, so Cary Grant is just running around for no reason. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K26T...

What's amazing is that 'Return of the Jedi"s epic space battle came from real practical models rigged to fly, and tiny mini ship models on rigs, with hand-drawn vistas on giant hand-painted glass backdrops. The VFX team moved them frame-by-frame with stop-motion, and layered shots by hand, incredible techniques that still look bigger than most blockbusters and then ILM account saying "nearly everything in your post is incorrect"

there's so much misinformation and disinformation on how movies are made

the account in this example has over a half a million followers on X, just out there making up stuff
