I hope the Disney Live Action Remake era is winding down as they're running out of films people want to see (Moana is such a desperate pull).

I REALLY want a book about what this era was like from inside. PLEASE break your NDA, I have to know how most of these are just...SO BAD.

I'm honestly shocked by how dumb people actually are.

The world sucks. I hate everyone and everything, and I am terrified AI is pushing us rapidly toward a post-employment era we are not prepared for. But at least I can still smile watching Flavor Flav yell "Yeah boi!" while careening head first down a refrigerated track.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Claim by Microsoft AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, that "most, if not all, professional tasks" undertaken by white collar workers will be fully automated by AI within the next 12 to 18 months.

megaLOL

we have all suffered through automated phone tree hell for years, shouting "AGENT! AGENT! GDAMMIT!" in hopes of talking to a person & now the world is just begging for that experience to be extended into every realm of our lives, including interactions with physicians, teachers, etc.

Except for the capitol police on duty January 6.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

It's because he always looks and sounds so insufferably smug. Like he's just having a little giggle about how smart he is and how dumb you are for not agreeing with him.

When do we finally stop Republicans from calling themselves fiscal conservatives? Because they clearly don't give a shit about a balanced budget.

FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

What the fresh hell?

I’m Still Your America Hey, patriot. It’s been a week. As ICE spreads terror through the streets, and Teacup Eichmann presided over the murder of yet another innocent civ...

"I forced the shape of English onto resisting tongues and then dared to call it 'broken.'"

As more files from the Epstein case are released, I'm sickened by the extent of his depravity and his connections to so many powerful people. Governments around the globe are being shaken by the mentions of their leaders in the files, and the U.S. should apply the same scrutiny to our leaders.

And then if it's a Dem administration, get blamed for wasteful government on White House renovations.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.

Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

KIM: When Binance founder Zhao pleaded guilty to violating money laundering laws & was sent to prison, Binance injected billions into Trump's business & Zhao was pardoned. Is that a conflict?

BESSENT: I'm unfamiliar with any of that

KIM: Is it a conflict?

BESSENT: Again, I'm not going to respond

GALLEGO: Let's say Trump wins that lawsuit. Where would that $10 billion come from?

BESSENT: It would come from Treasury


GALLEGO: So, taxpayers?

BESSENT: Yes. Part of the 44,000 whose returns were leaked

GALLEGO: They're not suing

A Court of Thorns and Roses is on my shelf waiting for me to get to it!

I haven't read any of these books, but I love the posts.

In the last week before the Super Bowl, Trump supporters are training around the clock to be outraged by Bad Bunny halftime show

Sorry didn't see your mm tag. Uhhhhh don't have a lot of recommendations for that. Red White & Royal Blue?

Funny romantic smutty chaos: I recommend That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming.

The Trump Administration claims the agents who shot Alex Pretti have been put on administrative leave, notwithstanding Greg Bovino’s prior short statement that they were simply reassigned.

There is no reason to credit this assertion as truthful.

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.

“We look brave,” said Frog.
