Loving others is the easiest fucking thing in the world. Hate is hard. Hate eats you up inside. Hate hollows you out. Love recharges you. Love can get you through anything. And loving a complete stranger is a lot easier than you think. It may sound corny as hell, but choose love.

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning
The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

Is denying people healthcare, kidnapping people from their jobs to be sent to detention camps, targeting minorities with legislation and hate speech campaigns not political violence?

Thinking about the family of Representative Melissa Hortman & her husband who were assassinated at the hands of a radical MAGA shooter in June.
Melissa was doing such important work for the state of Minnesota & this country-we grieve her loss & demand strict gun reform legislation.

Sinners. I saw it last Monday and I’m still thinking about it. I love when a genre movie overachieves and Coolger created a masterpiece with so many layers. Amazing performances, every department delivered, and the cinematography/editing were exceptional.

I love Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney. Tonight on the show, with Conan & Ayo Edebiri they’ve taken calls from & talked to the famous paleontologist Dr Jack Horner, who was the technical advisor on the Jurassic Park movies, & @chucktingle.bsky.social but they had no clue & were so confused 😂😂😂

OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait.
Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to them tech has won.

OpenAI's Studio Ghibli meme factory is an insult to art itself
Sam Altman is promoting his new image generator by appropriating the work of one of the greatest living animators—who is "disgusted" by AI.

A great example of how tech bros don’t understand human psychology. AI will absolutely gut a number of industries, but saying AI will replace teachers and doctors is like saying books and home testing kits will replace teachers and doctors. Literally two jobs we won’t cede for very human reasons.
It’s patently false, but notice that “humans won’t be needed” to these people is identified as the desired future rather than the deeply dystopian vision that it actually is.
Bill Gates: Within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers—humans won't be needed ‘for most things'
Over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence will mean that humans will no longer be needed "for most things" in the world, says Bill Gates.
