Is the irony that Japan just elected a far-right PM?
When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.

GenAI outputs a homogenized statistical average of all the stuff that was stolen to train it.
Think about what that does to the aesthetics of a person raised on it, imagine subversive and erotic and queer art made by a person who has only ever known Mcdonalds ads, muzak, and advertising copy.

NBA is the only professional sports league in the world where a team that is actively trying to lose is beating another team by 40

I understand the step back looks sick - but watching Harden play basketball is such a miserable experience. There's literally no other league in the entire world where touching someone's wrist on a drive is a foul at all

This new Bulls squad is a perfect example of the fucked up American AAU/youth basketball system. All of their guards are so trash at anything except hesi pulls.

Not to be rude but the Heat being this bad and miserable is quite funny. Their best young player is Larsson...

Am I losing it? Hasn't every other municipal govt of a large city given these companies everything they wanted and let them do this?
Corporations will not exploit working people in NYC.
Uber Eats, Fantuan & HungryPanda broke the law — shortchanging workers while raking in profits.
Today, we secured $5M+ in restitution for 49,000 delivery workers.
Let this be a warning: steal wages, face the consequences.

MacDuffie's rule of 3 will always ring in my head. And unless it's Tyler Perry or Tubi, black folks always either get called the hard R or die. I can imagine Coogler asking "does literally everybody need to die" and the producers cackling while saying "yes of course".
Did we watch the same movie?
I got lots of black folklore, a little bit of a power fantasy thing going, and finally putting some respect on the blues in the modern era.
What was the trauma?

Finally saw Sinners. It was fine. I liked that the barn looked real. It wasn't 16 Oscars good but then again Oscars mean nothing. I'm sick of black trauma movies and don't know what vampires had to do with anything. But I'm all for exploring music and the black church all day

i think we often neglect the degree to which nixon’s resignation was a result of him having a mental breakdown over the mounting stress of Watergate and other humiliations

One of my absolute favorite things is how much black folks can't stand Erivo but the yts love her.
With that said, an X-Men musical would be fun. Hugh Jackman would be in heaven

I love Christopher Guest movies and by their design they were always only as good as the comedic actors involved and it’s one of the absolute purest ways to see just how much people like Catherine O’Hara and Fred Willard brought to the job. It sucks to lose them but it’s also just magic to see them

Nah.
Breaking news: Catherine O’Hara, the actress and comedian who delivered deliciously silly performances in movies such as “Beetlejuice” and “Home Alone,” and gained a new generation of fans as Moira Rose on “Schitt’s Creek,” has died.
She was 71.

This essay ended up getting pretty popular (the most popular of Issue 8 so far). People really seem to like interesting philosophizing about mythical creatures often seen in fantasy narratives!
"Dragons have no origin. There is no first dragon, because “dragon” is not a concept. It is a box. A line drawn around a collection of ideas because language sacrifices context at the altar of convenience."

my perhaps puritanical opinion is that this stuff is brain poison and exposing yourself to it makes you stupider. I'm sure there are right-leaning historians and classicists who contribute worthwhile research to the commons but right-wing political theory is ex post facto practically by definition
