incredibly funny side note that in the midst of all this one guy was actually exonerated via the horse’s mouth and it was this guy

There's a tendency among a certain type of poster to assume everything they hate about politics and the state can be blamed on avarice, and I'm here to tell you it's actually worse than that.
I continue to disagree with this. The goal of mass detention is mass deportations. A private prison company leasing 100 beds to ICE gets paid the same if the beds are filled by 100 people for a year each or 1,000 people for a few days each. They don't earn more with long-term detention.
It's not about deporting them. It's about detaining them indefinitely and enriching Prisons for Profiteers and the grift the Convict in the Oval Office collects per detainee.

genuinely not saying this simply because I dislike his politics, but he's gotta hang it up. he's not in the shape it takes to represent a state.

the power of internet clout is pretty amazing, because like, if there’s one guy who, in ordinary circumstances, would NOT want to gas up the idea that a close relationship with a sex pest meant that you either knew about it or were in on it…

most of the stuff from emails hasn’t really changed my most basic read on the Epstein situation, which is that he kept close company with a long, diverse roster of public figures and that the actual Lolita Express stuff was scoped to a pretty small group of already-established sex monsters

just to be absolutely clear, this is about a three-day suspension. she will have the account back in completely regular working order before the weekend.

Remake of the kings speech but with prince Andrew
guy overcoming the imposter syndrome that’s stopping him from being an international sex criminal when he learns that Epstein could barely spell his own name

I missed the chance to screenshot it but saxophonist Maria Grand had a really good response to someone asking her if she uses generative AI which was something to the effect of “the tediousness is integral to the process”
A pretty bleak thing that GenAI is revealing is that a significant percentage of the population seems to have no interest in actually learning or doing anything. They want to ChatGPT their way out of hobbies, art making, everything... www.thecut.com/article/woul...

ftr, I still believe basically every amount of involvement in the original crimes people have alleged, but that a Tom Clancy-esque inside job is just not something he's capable of and that dude probably did take himself out

there’s a kind of slacktivism that’s basically like “all you have to do is be the exact same type of mean you already are online but about something important” and once you recognize it, you’ll see it all the time

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:
1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people
2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

overthinking from a parent who watches Monsters Inc every day: it’s weird that the company apparently has a board of directors but completely folds when Waternoose gets arrested — like, it’s not like their core operations are illegal, he was running a scheme, couldn’t they just appoint someone new

having platforms that offer short-term dopamine rewards for making bold predictions, particularly to spite people you don’t like, of which the comeuppance for being wrong relies on whether enough people are dedicated to remembering them, seems, idk, corrosive to the social fabric, to me

you can't just bring back austin powers. the franchise wrote itself into a corner after he volunteered to stay behind forever in the shagadelic dimension to save foxxy and vanessa. they already brought him back once without explaining how he escaped from fembot island, the audience won't buy it

The character of Jar-Jar Binks, found in several of the Infant Vader texts, is clearly a trickster figure of the sort common in pre-Jedi cultures and suggests an element of syncretism among the early adherents.

my parents told me they were watching the news about Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding when they were in the hospital with my sister, which is always really funny to me because that’s what a movie would do if it were like “we have to show that it’s January 1994”

just want to add, as a side note, that I find the “; &” to be a weirdly inspired punctuation combo. it has more of a musical value than a grammatical one.

reminded of a guy a few years ago who did “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” at karaoke on this exact day at Montero, which is a Brooklyn mariner-themed bar, and that the vibe was perfect except that the song is like seven minutes long and doesn’t have a chorus

this isn’t even the right stereotype about Bluesky! the actual legit criticism is that the core user base *only* talks about things like Senate inside baseball and not, like, movies or pop culture
