It isn't even the sensibilities I'm talking about (but you aren't wrong at all). Its more the entertainment factor. I saw another reply to this question basically say "Bond needs to appeal to 13 year olds if its gonna survive", and that was Brosnan Bond to me
Fwiw, I was born in '86 and wasnt really allowed to play videogames. The first Bond movie I saw was Goldeneye. After my dad saw how much I loved it, he tried to show me some Connery movies. (As a kid) I hated them all
This movie f*cked me up, up to and including the ending
The Pierce Brosnan era is the easiest to get kids to watch; the Sean Connery era is the hardest
When I tried to teach my dad Cascadia, one of the simplest games I could think of, he all but scoffed and grumbled his entire way through
This might sound demented, but Mysterium Kids would probably fit these criteria quite well!
I usually just think "the dead don't care. Because they're dead"
Someday this will be true
Exactly 1.5 of these movies deserves to be on this list
I was a very solid VHS kid, born smack in the middle of the Millenial demographic. Our first computer had a blue screen and ran 5 1/4 floppies. First videogame system was the Genesis. Fav entertainment is probably audiobooks at the moment. Fav non-entertaining media? Prestige drama tv lol
The rise of a fascist leader in Germany led to genocide and a disastrous war that killed millions of Germans, but only 25 years later, Germany had regained its standing as a prosperous industrial power. Could the same thing happen here?
Jays fans be like
We have to put *something* in our KD
I have to apologize, due to the pictures I read it the other way around. I thought the left was the new logo and the right was the old, and people were begging to make it simple again lol
I'm just a moron Canadian who doesn't really get why Cracker Barrel is such a big deal in the first place, but ... what? *That* is what caused Conservatice America to melt down??
Don't let that pic fool you. He's a wolverine. He will attack *anything*. I love him so much
Gotta love the mid-length furry kitties! My Tadpole is the same way
As someone who has adored so much of his career, I'm nonetheless blown away by how amazing he is in this show. This would be career-defining work from anyone else
And while the right wing story was constantly changing, the police report and the story from the teenagers both remained consistent. The teenagers say that big balls was harassing and trying to pick up the 15-year-old girl, and when he wouldn't leave her alone the boy jumped in to defend her.
Still can't order to Canada! But remain undeterred; this is my #1 "game I can't currently get but absolutely need"
White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
Col. Mustard in the library with a candlestick??
Every now and then I feel like the only reason we aren't all charred husks on a nuclear desert is because Trump is just *that* desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize so he can "nah nah" at Obama one last time
You know that meme "this is how photos look when a white guy kills his family" and it's always the whole family smiling? I feel like you could do the same sort of thing for TERFs
"And I want to be someone important. Like a person who is famous for hiding themselves behind invented personas"
This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent www.instagram.com/reel/DMVGMIC...
There's a *very* narrow strip of Millenials who had their minds blown by this movie, and they're usually the ones who go "what do you mean people hate it?!?"
If they could foresee AR15s, then why not cloning?
This happened to me after I finished my undergrad. Didn't pick up a book for almost a decade. Got back into it when I discovered audiobooks and haven't looked back
(Waking up in the morning to look at the news) *deep breath* "You don't live in America. You don't live in America. You don't live in America. You don't live in America. You don't live in America. You don't live in America. You don't live in America. You don't live in America. You don't live in.."
Brain worms. Wearing human skin
On this Chairteenth, we celebrate the good folks of Montgomery, especially our guy AquaMayne. Special shout out to the folks who, within 72 hours, recreated this in their apartment complex. A COMMUNITY!! 💀
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.
This is incredible
"You must have been the tallest in your class"
8 years ago yes, never since
I think there's an arguement to be made that its one of the most successful smear campaigns in all human history
Get his ass
"Well what if I'm a fucking talentless moron, huh? What if I suck and have nothing to say and no ability to say it? What if I follow the neighborhood dogs around and eat their succulent poops, does that make me some kind of doodoo-eater? Check and mate."
The editors who published this should go straight to The Hague. I mean literally, according to the terms of international law such as it exists.
A lot of Weird Al songs are better than the original, but I feel like Word Crimes is extra special because of how rancid the original song was
Most of my favs have already been mentioned so I'll toss in The White Stuff
My wife is in Vogue shitting on your AI-generated "art" 💜 www.vogue.com/article/matt...
![Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:obalt57atoxc2zooldtuur75/bafkreifnjtvupzmkqg7cggiv2z5nckzpp5yd2sm7h5gg2kq3plbwv2btuy@jpeg "Click to view full size")

I posted to Twitter for what looks like the fifth time this year yesterday. Checked back today and the post has 39,000 likes, 3.2k retweets — and 9 replies, and 4 quote tweets. I'm sorry folks those numbers ain't real. Bordering on a statistical impossibility. It's gotta be almost entirely fake.

Currently on the phone with Visa Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch (cont)
All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.
Yall will NEVER guess how this storytime ends. We are doomed.
i CANNOT stop watching this
Interesting to see how they've shifted tones. The first trailer was advertising an almost Coen Bros style action comedy. They've dialed that all the way back. Test audiences must have said something
I was pretty much in the same boat!
Scott Pilgrim had a pretty iconic twist youtu.be/tT6UH9DGqgc?...
Alan Cumming on bathroom bills: "Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."

"Canada is celebrating its 20th year" means I was legally old enough to drink when gay people could get married. Please excuse me while I cry and watch my bones turn to dust
So there's someone arguing about using people's requested pronouns with the sentence, "no one can compel or coerce me to use or not use certain words. I decide what I say and how I say it." Which... fine. That's a stance a person can take. I could even see there being some merit to it as a policy.
Being able to cross the US/Canadian border with just a driver's license or birth certificate
Solid joke, 10/10, would buy that joke a drink and ask for its number
If you really were an LBGTQ ally, you'd understand why this is funny
In a time when GOP politicians routinely post on social media about how much they would love to see minorities dead, a Dem politician making a (solid) joke about tops and bottoms should be so far down the list of your concerns that you could only find it with sonar and spelunking equipment
As far as I'm concerned, this show has the definitive Batman v Superman
The great Dylan Moran had a routine where he talked about stuff like this being men "outsourcing" their masculinity, and he was *not* wrong. To paraphrase: "Go on Alan, break his other collar bone! I got a parking ticket this morning!"
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.
There are at least four people whom I would very much like to follow because I enjoy their knowledge and expertise, but simply cannot because of *how* they post. Reading their skeets is like dragging my brain across sandpaper
I'm sorry, you're imparting honest to gods wisdom and it's one of the reasons I follow you, but I couldn't read that without seeing this
This isn't the point, but I can't believe that only one other person in the comments noticed that this is Inigo Montoya's sword
Model?
Hearing the best golfer in the world say "I do this because I'm good at it, not because it makes me happy, and in fact I'm kinda miserable all the time" hit a note with me. This shit can happen to *anybody*; doesn't matter what you do
This is how insane people sound when you tell them why A.I. is bad
I live in BC but kept my Ontario number when I moved. This has two major side effects: 1) if I see a call from my area code, I can 100% ignore it as spam 2) when people see *my* area code, they think *I'm* spam lol
Alternatively, and hear me out, you could take a flying fuck at a rolling donut
Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.
Just once, *once in my life*, I'd love to see this be the title of a guest essay and the entire article is just the word "No" followed by a massive blank space

The longer you watch the crazier it gets 😭😭❤️
I've said it once and I'll say it again, American movie theaters seem to be lawless hellholes. I've never *in my life* seen someone do this shit. Or *any* of the shit American filmgoers claim happens at every screening
Very cool that cis people can just access hormones willy nilly but trans people have to jump through a million hoops to get the same exact treatment
If you *dont* do this with your chopsticks, are you even human?
This is the rare video that not only never gets old, but gets better and better every time you watch it. By the fourth viewing in a row I can't breathe
A normal person who doesn't live online: "I don't understand, why does that matter?" Me, a terminally online freak: "aaaaaahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!"

this made me laugh so much

I've needed something to play ever since Timberborn got a little stale! This sounds perfect! Switch from beavers to rats!
My school dream is similar. I'm always behind on assignments, but the kicker is that the amount of time that passes between these dreams IRL also passes in the dream, so I'm even further behind on the same shit!
My stress dream is what I call my "school dream". I'm in school, and I'm late on all my assignments. Pretty standard stuff. But here's the thing. The next time I have that dream, the amount of time passed IRL will have passed in the dream! So I'm even farther behind on the same assignments!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you
In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."
