Leftist (both cultural and economic). Born in Texas and still stuck here. I work in a bookstore and can't believe this is reality. It just gets worse.

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

They don't get talked about much anymore but Roald Dahl hosted two different horror anthologies & they had wildly different tenures.
Way Out (1961) lasted only 14 episodes and 4 of them are lost media. It only survives through bootlegs.
Tales Of The Unexpected (1979-1988) somehow had 112 episodes.

everything is just a money-extraction scheme
my kids and i used to play four players on our own minecraft server until a microsoft update required four software licenses
meanwhile on xbox, we played four players off a disc until they required a monthly subscription to play more than two players 🤬

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

After today I'll have all of Soap and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman cued up. Both shows my parents made me stop watching as I got aged into their humor, or maybe Mary Hartman was just on too late.

I think if I were in a position to pitch TV shows I would just pitch a new version of The Tick every couple of years. It is always uniquely positioned to comment on media, fantasy, and society.

If Democrats are "antifa", if they're "fighting fascism", then why did 86 of them just vote with their Republican friends to "condemn socialism"?
Democrats are not fighting shit, they're actively aiding the rise of fascism in this country.

A piece from Oct 14th 1967’s TV Guide about the upcoming Star Trek episode “I, Mudd”, which would air on Nov 3rd in the USA. The illusion of a planet of 2000 androids created from the cunning use of just 4 pairs of twins, you say?

Denouncing socialism while under the heel of fascism. This is why people say liberals side with fascists against socialists, because they do.

I think the "Work full time and take classes at night" thing don't really work anymore. One shouldn't because you're going to burn out.
But there is no hope for the future, so any big ambitions like that is not as driving as it used to be. And a full time job doesn't always cut it either.

ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event
If you have a medical emergency in ICE custody, there’s a chance you will simply “disappear”
Or you could end up like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel who was deported to Costa Rica in a persistent vegetative state.
He died soon after.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.
