cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing + j.paulmonter 2h + All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. 5 2 361 75 14 1 drrachelbarr 20h Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention to. 220 11 20 2

When you're right, you're right
Photo of an original Usagi Yojimbo action figure from the first animated series of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the 80s-90s, which I've owned since I was a kid. Only one brown plastic katana accessory remains.

The Lincoln Project @lincolnproject.us Dick Cheney was a genuine conservative, a patriotic Republican, and a man who made hard calls in tough times, even when it meant being excommunicated from the GOP. Our thoughts are with his family.

Technically we keep it spooky 24/7 365 in this house
Photo of a fake human skull painted in chrome resting in a glass fish bowl with red ticker tape mimicking blood. It is lit by an eerie green light.

Had a very apropos visitor tonight between trick or treaters!
Photo of the front porch of a house on Halloween night, lit up with purple, green and orange lights. On the roof, in silhouette against the night sky and frames by dark tree branches in the top corners, is a black cat -- its ears perked up and it's tail standing at attention. Seconds later the cat ran off to darken another lucky person's doorstep.

This little bunny frou frou was staring into my kitchen window for about 30 minutes just before sunset. Not sure if it was locked onto Michael Meyers, Sam or the Beetlejuice headstone, but it's nice to see someone in this neighborhood appreciate my Halloween decorations

It's hard to see super clearly because there's so much heavy black ink, but it is clearly the totenkopf and not a generic skull and crossbones
Still image of Maine US Senate candidate Graham Platner without his shirt at his brother's wedding reception, clearly sporting the Nazi totenkopf insignia on his right pectoral muscle. Still image of Maine US Senate candidate Graham Platner without his shirt at his brother's wedding reception, less clearly sporting the Nazi totenkopf insignia on his right pectoral muscle, but the image includes a current picture of Platner and a black and white image of the death's head Nazi symbol, which is definitely what Platner has tattooed on his chest.

And I grew up when Indiana Jones movies were huge, and one of the main villains wore this hat:
Nazi from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade wearing a Nazi hat with the Nazi skull and crossbones insignia, just like what Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner had tattooed on his body while he was in the US military and didn't get altered for more than a decade despite running as a progressive Democrat in 2025.

Trump's desperation to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize is like the final title card after the bloody conclusion of Miami Connection
Screenshot of the end card for Miami Connection, which is a cheap martial arts movie featuring several violent confrontations and concludes with the main characters seeking murderous, bloody revenge against the ninja who nearly killed their friend on his way to meet his long lost father, which he was previously very excited and emotional about while being forced fed grapes. Yes, this is all accurate to the plot of Miami Connection. The end card reads: "Only through the elimination of violence can we achieve world peace" (but it's in all caps)

Image of a character from a Cyanide and Happiness comic making the 😲 face that I cropped from a Cyanide and Happiness comic. The face is a bald "male" with a teal blue shirt and straight black arms hanging off his, um, shoulders. It's a comic character? It's a comic character!

Reposted by Chantal James Moniker42 @moniker42.bsky.social This is racist. Chantal James @chantalalive.blacks... Whatever helps you never have to interrogate benefitting from white supremacy so you can actually be part of the human collective we need to fight for better. It's all about white folks sleeping at night.

The ONE time comic sans would have ever been appropriate
Image of the in-famous birthday card Donald Trump gave to Jeffrey Epstein, with the outline of a "woman's body" with the following "poem"/"script" Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything. Donald Yes, there is, but I won't teil you what it is. Jeffrey Nor will I, since I also know what it is. Donald We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey Yes, we do, come to think of it. Donale Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? Jeffrey As a matter of fact, it was clear to me tire last time i saw you. Donald A pal is a wonderful thing.

Memed 😺🐈😸
Photo of two cats in dueling stages of catitude. One, a gray/black/brown adult kitty, lounges on very comfy looking couch or bean bag, wagging its tail; the second a ginger assassin launching itself off the kitchen counter to attack the lounging one. I've added 🟡 text that reads "My anxiety and depression reminding me that I should probably work this weekend" over the ginger kitty and "Me decompressing into the weekend" over the lounging kitty.
