It doesn't explain his relationship to the rest of the human race but a big part of RFK Jr.'s broader damage is clearly trying to find out if he can die. I guess if I had lived a life like his and was somehow still around drinking out of puddles at 72 I'd have some questions on that as well.

The ai debate on here is wild. There are a lot of anti-ai people who think it's crazy that anyone could be pro-ai, there are a few pro-ai people who think it's crazy that anyone could be anti-ai, and a middle group trying to realistically assess the situation. All three seem to hate each other

James Van Der Beek saying "It wasn't Pacey, Jen and Joey's Creek"

RIP James Van Der Beek, whose greatest role was, of course, himself. Not for him the cheeky cameo: on Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23" the man turned self-ridicule into a full-time occupation, and did so magnificently.

what if, due to AI, in a couple of years the only people who have jobs are podcasters? that brings us to the obvious question: how are the rest of you going to get the money to pay for my podcasts? that's something you all need to be thinking about because i will not change my lifestyle.

one thing that comes across in these clips is that bondi is totally out of her depth. just an absolute lightweight. barely sentient.

I choose to believe that she released this and immediately disappeared from public life, never to be heard from again.

The actor who plays sweet pea in industry is the best actor in that show by such a huge margin itโ€™s kind of unfair on the rest of the cast

Listening and learning from the bizarre land known as "Britain" in which a scandal may cause a political official to resign rather than post an AI video of them dumping their own feces out of a F/A-18E Super Hornet on social media. Truly an alien culture.

The movie they make about Tulsi Gabbard's infiltration of US intelligence is going to simultaneously be a haunting look at the most damaging intelligence failure in US history and a hilarious romp about the stupidest fucking people alive

โ€˜Home Aloneโ€™ Actor Daniel Sternโ€™s Prostitution Solicitation Case Dismissed Home Alone actor Daniel Stern has been cleared of a misdemeanor prostitution solicitation charge.

Sternโ€™s case was dismissed when his lawyers proved that before he could actually solicit the prostitute he stepped on a wooden board covered in tacks, fell down a flight of stairs, flew through a glass door, and slid down an icy sidewalk chased by pit bulls. deadline.com/2026/02/dani...
