A Very Shitty Wizard

an actual gift of the internet age is how relatively easy it has become for non-wealthy people to maintain memory systems. both personal ones (photos, backups, searchable mail) and collective ones (wikis, archives, fan communities)

the glee with which that is being destroyed right now floors me

as a general rule if you are in any kind of situation that might turn into a fight you don't want to pull out any object that is shaped like a gun. this includes those stupid pepperball guns and tasers.

Stephen Miller can fuck all of the way off.

Stephen Miller says DC is like Baghdad or Fallujah.
The only war here is the GOP’s war on truth.

Their plan to intimidate Americans isn’t working. We see through their bullshit.

An executive for The Masked Singer snorts an entire rail in one go and prepares to make the pitch of his life

Anime and manga are "passion industries" until you stunt cast a celebrity, I guess

Well didn't I tell ya? I told ya so I did, I warned ya.

Sick and god damn tired of being the Cassandra in the coalmine, can't tell you how many times I tried to get it across that this was where the anti-trans moral panic was headed, only to dismissed again and again and oh look at where we are.

I suspect a lot of people here think of "marriage" as a religious institution, not literally thousands of years of contract law evolving into what it is today.

If I never see this cone-headed piece of shit again it will be too soon

Elon constantly gets in slap fights on the internet, gets embarrassed by his own chatbot, and then spends a month pestering his employees to tweak it so it doesn't happen anymore. According to the market this is our most productive industrialist

I know I should be pissed at the actual point of the post but I can’t get past the historical nitpick that the Luddites were a labor movement and not an anti-technology movement. The fact that we use the term like that is 200 year old mill owner propaganda.

*watches big tech light tens of billions of dollars on fire yearly*

no one can stop this juggernaut of profit

"When we were creating the initial prototype and had showed it From Software for their feedback, they asked us to make Maria even taller." -Good Smile Company.

I actually always find this X-Files clip really inspiring that way, like yeah I do 100% believe Fox Mulder wants me to stay alive

"They don't get that crime is down" ok let me stop you right there bud. What Republicans mean by "crime" is "non-white people out and about in public."

Okay so if you watched Titanic and you thought it was perfectly reasonable to only save first class passengers and to lock steerage people to die because it would be a shame to ruin such a nice tuxedo maybe you shouldn’t be allowed in government.

lmao we are so fucked

it is really funny that Elon Musk can't even win an argument on the website he owns with the AI he owns as arbitrator

game is off the charts narratively you have to play it

Elon Musk is going to kill Grok.

'Microsoft has no place being accomplice of a genocide:' Arkane union workers demand Xbox maker sever ties with Israel Arkane Studios' STJV section in France has published an open letter in support of the Palestinian-led BDS movement.

The comment section to that one did not disappoint lmao

THATS HER THATS MY GOAT THATS MY QUEEN AND COUNTRY THATS MY ROMAN EMPIRE SHE IS HER AND HER SHE WILL ALWAYS BE TOPH THE BLIND BANDIT, THE GREATEST EARTH BENDER WHO EVERY LIVED GOD DAMN BEIFONG

one of the many great things about being married to your best friend is that you both have a built in permanent complaints department in each other. we are constantly like "babe you wanna hear some stupid bullshit i'm mad about" and the answer is always yes

Trouble in Paradise - Part 14

Now that Werner Herzog is canonically part of the Star Wars universe, I feel like they should make in-universe pro-Imperial documentaries by his character about all the Gulp Shittos and Weird Little Guys.

“But I saw in the ewok’s eyes only bored hunger and the cruel indifference of nature.”

Cargo cult shit. None of these companies know why they're hiring AI talent, they are just throwing money and compute at the problem in the hopes something happens, despite, well, nothing happening for a long time

I think whoever risks death to bring the child into the world, including possibly being gutted like a fish, should get to pick the name, the first name at least, but that’s just me.

oh weird i'm just drawing a venn diagram of people who think we need men patrolling the streets to keep women safe and men who think metoo went too far and you'll never guess how it's turned out

Have you noticed this funny thing where nerds in general disdain literary theory EXCEPT when it comes to Star Wars, and in particular understanding why the newer ones were less good? It's like engineers not carrying about ethics until the atomic bomb forces them to reckon with it.

No they mean black people. There's a reason they say "Baltimore" and "Chicago" instead of "Austin" or "Seattle"
