Cheap chocolate is the only reason to celebrate Valentine's Day, regardless of relationship status.
I think it was the Strange Magic episode of @musicalhell.bsky.social that taught me not to take Valentine’s Day as a single too seriously, with a joke about discount chocolates on February 15th being desperate. Truly dispelled the despair for me, that gag.

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

my cousin's father and grandfather both died of colon cancer, and his doctor had to lie to help him get a colonoscopy covered at age 40
you know a system is working well when its most trusted members have to lie to get the right thing done

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Believe that they're really ending the surge in Minnesota when people on the ground say it's happened but also *even* if this is nothing but more face saving, it's a huge acknowledgement that they know they're losing and that the people of Minnesota are never going to stop protecting their neighbors

Regardless if the withdrawal next week happens or not, the brave people of Minnesota have shown us the blueprint for resisting occupation.
Other cities MUST take note. If they do leave MN, the paramilitaries will undoubtably just be moving to terrorize another community.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

I have so many thoughts, but my first one is to ask why something AI generated is edited in a way you do when actors can't convincingly do more than one fight move in a single take.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ writer Rhett Reese reacts to viral AI video of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting:
“I hate to say it. It’s likely over for us.”

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Rockwell would have painted this.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

There are so many threads to pull here but the absolute intellectual bankruptcy of the richest men on the planet is impossible to ignore. It can't just be that they personally got lucky, or leveraged some edge at the right time; they have to be undeniably superior to others at a foundational level.
I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com.

In the latest files, the trafficker gives it a Silicon Valley–pilled name: "genetic altruism."

The young'uns that were hired for the previous MST3K reboot were all very talented, and did a great job, but this time around the concept is, "What if we gave the old farts from the original show a shot?" Why not, right? I think it's gonna be fun.
We're SO excited to announce Trace Beaulieu and Frank Conniff will be the guest bad guys on the fourth and final show of this run. In addition to that, Trace and Frank will be cowriting this episode along with the RiffTrax gang. We're over the moon!

Finding out that top execs from both LifeTouch and Chuck E. Cheese are in the Epstein files has pissed me off in a way that I didn’t think was still possible.

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.
