CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right?

IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. Ifβ€”

CHOTINER: And the β€œrobot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother?

IKARI: Look, let me answer the question.

CHOTINER: Sure.

if i ever find out that any of the videos and pictures of the little monkey in japan were generated by AI, I'm taking a long trip down the east river on a raft made of ice

it's very weird to write a critique concerning the "lack of seriousness in leftist AI criticism" and then simply refuse to engage with actual, serious leftist criticisms of AI

Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat forever. Steal a fish from one man, give it to another, and tell the second man that he needs to pay you a subscription fee every month if he wants to keep getting fish, then you’ve successfully disrupted the fish market.

Catherine O'Hara's walk in Best in Show still makes me laugh! Here's a clip.

Devastating that she's gone but grateful for all that she gave and left us.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

and the crazy thing is it doesn't really change anything! I make video content for the newsroom I'm in and had to make a video involving suicide the other day without euphemisms and it was one of our best performing videos of the past month

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to β€œthe opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

i do genuinely think we need to jail every single person currently working for ICE

MAGA wants you to believe there’s only one angle The clip of the shooting MAGA wants you to see

MAGA and the Trump admin will no doubt comb through video of another ICE killing to find the one clip that they can use to justify shooting someone at point blank range. They’ll try to use video to sow doubt about what you see with your own eyes. Don’t fall for it.

I’m so sick of people throwing their hands up and saying abolishing ICE isn’t possible right now. Abolishing ICE is extremely popular and calls to do so will only continue to grow, meanwhile conservatives manage to do incredibly unpopular things all the time because nobody stops them
