I’ve never punched anyone in my life but if a morally dessicated non-Jew like Pam Bondi told me I was being antisemitic, the Capitol police would have to intervene.
BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein
BALINT: Weak sauce
BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution--
BALINT: You want to go there! Really? Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust! *storms off*

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ writer Rhett Reese reacts to viral AI video of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting:

I think we might be on the same page, it’s just that I actually rarely read the AI boosters and I’m always reading the AI skeptics, so I think I have a distorted view. Because I am aware that the AI boosting is so much more of a serious issue overall.
