Wow, and here I spent all day with people I love, mostly cooking. Guess that's why I'm a hater and loser
President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public
Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.
Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day
"I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off.
There's silence for a second.
"Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."

Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.

one thing that is important to know is that BIRTH OF A NATION is so racist that people at the *time*, in 1915, were like, “holy shit this is racist”
When the slightest bit of research shows he was consistently racist and a daddy issues Confederate fanboy.
People try to paint BIRTH OF A NATION as a masterpiece with some unfortunate racism. The whole movie is racist, the “masterpiece “ thing was backfilled to excuse it.

I like to check in on the New York Times podcast now and then, because I like to cause myself pain, and hearing them say today that Congress is "deadlocked" on ACA subsidies blows my fucking mind.
It's not a deadlock. Trump's party doesn't want to do them. They're against it. WHAT DO YOU MEAN

YES. i bristle at language i see used to describe what LLMs do, like “thinking” or “analyzing” or “hallucinating,” because all of these verbs imply that LLMs are in any way cognizant and capable of human-like behavior. there is no behavior! it’s just algorithmic dice-rolling with words, that’s it.

Amazing how when you tell people about the fucked up shit the president is doing, people tend not to like it. I wonder when this cutting edge technology will break through to party leadership

The post-Kirk purge was never about decency. Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder proves it.
