I guess we’re gonna find out once and for all right at the start of this new year whether or not the USA has a Constitution and / or a legislative branch.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

It’s high time for the entire world to stand up to the maniacs who wield power in the US, as our own institutions and legislators won’t.

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics.
It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

I sincerely believe the real cultural impact of Avatar is pretty fucked up and poignant: for most people on Earth, its computer generated imagery of an imagined planet made by artists is the only affordable way to connect to an immersive experience of natural habitats we’ve already destroyed here.

As Adam Curtis tried to desperately warn us for years, there was never a Russian ‘conspiracy’, instead the oligarchs with actual power in the West are trying to reshape our politics to be just like theirs.
Iowa-based journalist Laura Belin compares Bari Weiss' adventures at CBS to Putin's makeover of supposedly independent Russian media, which she covered for RFE-RL twenty years ago. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/12/25/o...
On "fair" reporting and what happened at "60 Minutes"
Laura Belin: I was alarmed (though not surprised) when CBS News boss Bari Weiss intervened to stop “60 Minutes” from airing a segment.

Guys they combined burrito taxi discourse with AI discourse.

Will never understand why people ever devote a single neuron or pixel to someone like Noah Smith, a total nobody. Just live like he doesn’t exist, it’s so easy.
oh brother, another bad post from political influencer beltway brian. i am furious at beltway brian all of the time. i share screencaps of beltway brian's posts with people who have no idea who he is. i hate all of beltway brian's posts and i read all of them every single day, including weekends

I've spent the money to scuba dive reefs in Australia and yeah,
experience of a lifetime, but you see the diminishment, warmed ocean temperatures, and ecosystem ruin.
Weirdly, tragically, $25 to see the reef in Avatar in a movie theater in 3D is sensorily closest we'll ever get to what it once was.

My first dive was in 1999. When I came back that same spot 15 years later I was heartbroken. All of the colors I remembered were gone.

A fascinating thing to me about ‘Avatar has no cultural impact’ is it’s just reinforcing a toxic miasma infesting Hollywood’s exec mindset: only pre-existing ‘IP’ has cultural value, instead of how crucially something new needs time. Plus that episode of How to With John Wilson about Avatar fans 😭.

I see you, bro, and in the words of recom Quaritch in Avatar 3, “I’ll blow your grandma’s skinny shit straight through the hooch”, a line far better than anything Aaron Sorkin ever wrote

Never seen Gen Z so horny for movie characters as they are for Oona Chaplin’s Varang and Jacob Elordi’s Frankenstein’s creature. The shot of Timmy Chalamet’s butt in Marty Supreme didn’t do anything. The age of monster fuckers is upon us.

Xmas in America fucking makes me sick
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
