Sharing a screenshot as not to get entangled with this account and any of their discourse, but I personally feel like this is a totally different universe than the one I love in. I find much more apathy to reading than disdain, and I worry this is like "woke scolding."

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Sinatra kind of a great illustration that you can be the kind of 1950s asshole these guys all idolize and just not be a frothing racist
Yup.
I'm telling y'all, these dudes don't know anything.🤡

Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money.

Actions:
Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly.

Words:
Literally wrote an article in Ebony Magazine

My flaming red hot take as not a lawyer is that free speech must be understood in relation to the marginalization of those involved. Which I realize is messy and a terrible idea to inscribe in law. But that's where my gut sits.
free speech discourse does not stand up to the absolute minimum of scrutiny. everything the warriors want is in fact an infringement on the speech of the other people they don’t care about.

is a trans person speech chilled by your *right* to speak transphobia into the world?

obviously yes!

I'm still upset that "manosphere" doesn't refer to men who have been crushed and formed into a perfect orb.

lot of good answers here (and also some terrible riffs if we're being honest) but one I haven't seen that would be very funny imo would be the whispery sauron voice in the last battle yelping "fuck" when the eye of sauron goes wide as it realizes where the ring is/what the plan is
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

More highlights today: "You know Tiny Tim? I don't like him. First of all, he's faking being handicapped, I can tell. Second, when he says 'God bless us, every one' it sounds phony. He doesn't mean it"

Ideas are, no question, the cheap part. I have SPREADSHEETS of ideas, and if I keep up my current production rate, which is already unrealistically high, I will die before I finish using them all. EXECUTION is the important part.

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

The worst part of flying for me is that I basically eat nothing for the day cause I don't want to risk an upset stomach during the flight, plus just general travel malaise.

Unpopular opinion but I think it should be much MUCH harder to obtain a driver's license and at least half of drivers do not have the skills to safely be on the road. And there should be frequent tests to keep a license. Cars are dangerous and we don't take that seriously enough.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
except my 72-year-old mother yelling from the top of the stairs that nobody can use her bathroom because “Santa” is storing presents in there while she wraps gifts
