As I recall, we were using the term "fake news" to legitimately call out literal fictitious articles written about Hillary Clinton. He flipped the term on it's head and bastardized the term to refer to news about him he did not like.

Well ok but people also say that about vegans and bicyclists and it’s not as true as those of us who are not those things like to think I’ve been trying to remember as a cishet vanilla white dude that people like to talk about their interests and that’s ok even when they’re not my interests
and like, that’s not even really an issue with poly per se. More with relationships in general. It’s more that if you’re lying to your partner and I know about it I’m gonna judge you.
Since poly is all over the timeline today I’m not poly myself but also I don’t want to give the impression that I have an issue with poly relationships *Provided everyone involved is on the same page re: levels of commitment and communication*
as far as i can tell all this means is "i have a partner who has obligations to me, but whom i have no obligations to."
Maybe I’m mistaken or missing something here but weren’t several married dudes cancelled on early Bluesky when it turned out they were doing this
important to realize that Greenwald explicitly wants to kill any site that isn't controlled by oligarchs and tyrants because his project requires trapping people in a propaganda-supported alternate reality
This is a thing I’ve thought around the edges of before, and the thing I still can’t understand is how on just an *aesthetic* level he doesn’t repulse elites. The baseball caps, the fake gold appliqué shit, just everything about him is tacky as fuck.
Hello, ChatGPT I want you to write a book for me Make it interesting, with a major plot twist in the third act Proofread it Edit it for me Publish it for me Read and review it for me Enjoy it for me Find love, and get married for me Have children, grow old, and die for me Now put a dog on the cover
Thinking about how cell phones trivialize a lot of common problems in storytelling, so fairly often TV and movie writers will come up with reasons why the characters can’t have them. Or they can have flip-phones but not smartphones. Nothing with easily-accessible GPS, for example.
do not listen to people like this. image manipulation is a fake image. there is no 2005 scifi movie "computer: enhance" extra zoom on an image that was blurry to begin with, that's made up, this shit is fake
What is happening is you told the bullshit machine to draw you a picture and now you’re trying to analyze it as if it’s real
Boromir, meanwhile, brings home a Harad girl and Denethor makes a whole lot of shitty comments until she finally leaves
If this sounds familiar to GenXennials that’s because it’s the same move Madonna used to pull every time she had a new album coming out
If you don’t want to go digging through your poop like some kind of German, there’s always a burn test: www.gistyarn.com/blogs/how-to...
What's next? Book burnings? "The Handmaid's Tale among more than 200 books to be pulled at Edmonton public schools" www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Its very clear that the next pandemic is going to require the cdc provide free child care to all journalists if we want any hope of our response succeeding
Tell me they’re doing call-and-response MOO WHO MOO WHO MOO WHO
Every time discussion of Aella comes up I spend about ten seconds thinking they mean the King of Northumbria who had Ragnar Lothbrok killed.
I do this all the time and I choose to believe it’s autocorrect playing silly buggers
Never mind, I forgot the judge pulled some stupid shit so he doesn’t face any penalties even after he leaves office But the felonies remain on his record, big fucking whoop 🙄
Rock Island Dam! Love that stretch of road.
Don’t the New York felonies come back into play the minute he leaves office?
Of course they had a black guy write it
When Gary Met Sally
Certain media types hate this place because, while they of course also get treated like shit on twitter, only like 1% of people on twitter even know who the fuck they are. But on here every single user knows them and despises them
hey man I don't give a shit what Nate Silver says
As soon as they didn’t pull up to the curb behind the red car I knew it had to be staged. Still hilarious though.
Robot Renfields
seriously?
Forgot to add the 🧶 for easy future searches
My compromise is we bring back the family desktop that’s in a place where everyone can see what you’re doing
Even -then- it’s just mostly true
It is baffling how Labour thinks they’re going to beat Refourm and the Touries at their own game
I think this is only true in basketball, and even it’s just mostly true.
Why is Starbucks selling personal seat licenses I thought that was just for new stadiums
It’s a little weird to demand people vote for a candidate as a necessary lesser evil three years before you even know if they’re going to be the candidate
Half a dozen guys trying to be Mark Anthony after Caesar got ganked. Except none of them have the juice to make it work.
does Drew Ensign go home to his wife every night and say “hi honey, I had a great day lying to the court so that the US government could murder children”? I mean how exactly do you even begin to live with yourself
Go Hawks
How nice of them to provide free road barriers Once people replace the signs anyway
Stepdad is watching some Billy Bob Thornton oilman show Even without looking it up this shit has Taylor Sheridan’s hack-ass fingerprints all over it.
What if you made a chatbot trained only on shitposts and theology textbooks
I am fervently against censoring the internet myself but I really do not think that stopping actual children from watching YouTube Let’s Plays in school has much to do with that one way or another
Look, the right wing complaints about leftists in academia are all in bad faith, but to the extent they are based in reality, every school has one or two professors who play exactly to type, and from there the right wing outrage machine takes over. Picture unrelated
They call him porky for a reason
OK, Hear Me Out...A 'LORD OF THE RINGS' Remake, but with These Two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
Tallow is disgusting and most places don’t use it for good reason I don’t believe him that he wasn’t trying to be political
I keep waiting for one of them to eat shit halfway down and cause a pileup
sorry but the clemson bus ride and running down the little hill is the dumbest thing
Taylor Lorenz spending yesterday evening saying a number of racist and anti-semitic things to Black and Jewish people challenging her new Wired piece, even while Wired publishes retractions on that piece, should be a real “blinders off” for those of you who still think she’s a credible reporter.
Something I always find funny about Iowa and their stupid 100 counties thing If Iowa was in the West they’d have 30 or so.
Ok on further review they just tore out the lawn and replaced it with that fuck-ugly marble patio
So they’re still calling it the Rose Garden after they ripped out all the roses, huh?
All about those rates Bout those rates Low deductible
My basic thing to do when I’m not just putting them on crackers is to toss them with some pasta and maybe an herb or three. Also a bit of oil if I feel like what was in the can isn’t enough.
I have no insider knowledge but my suspicion is it’s wildly popular with business and marketing majors, and probably some others related to those fields which I can’t think of at the moment
Mike Flynn getting ready to pull an Alexander Haig move
don't want to let it slip under the radar that racist law prof amy wax lost her discrimination suit against penn and will be suspended from teaching this year
Who else thinks Stilgar and Jessica started secretly banging after she and Paul were welcomed into Sietch Tabr
long weekend at bernie's
Trump is NOT dead And if he were it certainly wouldn’t be from driving his golf cart into a gator nest
I’d be very curious to find out why Yellowknife and environs are apparently Raiders country
It is common for these searches to take days or weeks for lower priority requests. It’s a virtual certainty that there are murders walking around free who would be locked up if a gun found at a crime scene was able to be run through some kind of computerized database. www.gq.com/story/inside...
Yes you will live 4 hours longer if you abstain, but on the other hand aren’t 7 hotdogs worth 4 hours?
I later realized it had to be the free mail thing
WTF are they talking about?
When will these courts grow a spine and stand by their decisions
One of the weakest things a court can do is make a ruling but then turn around and say “oh this ruling isn’t in effect so nothing will substantially change” Yes this is about the tariff ruling.
Also she’s dunking on him for relying some extremely basic information that you don’t even need to be a gun nerd to know
This is verbatim what Republicans in the PNW and Rocky Mountain West have been saying about wolves and grizzlies for at least 30 years. First time I’ve seen it applied to humans though.
Just got done watching Better Call Saul and Mike is a great example of this. it’s like half of what his character is for, telling people not to do a thing and then having to clean up the mess when they ignore him.
Suddenly remembering the wasp nest rejuvenation thing from like 2016-17
This saying fuckin sucks dude
Love seeing accounts here trying to talk knowledgeably about American politics and they’re like “I am a membre of the Demoucratic Party!”
I was hit by a lorry whilst on holiday and spent a week in hospital. Can someone please recommend a solicitor?
If they didn't approuve of what Joe Manchin was doing why did they not withhold the whip? Hakeem Jeffries could call a vote of no-confidence but he refuses!
“a friend of mine just married Mencius Moldbug” * is the most pathetic flex *online handle of Curtis Yarvin, the white supremacist dipshit and alleged philosopher
Finished my brioche knit hat I made so many mistakes but I still think it looks great Also a market bag, which I would have done differently from the start if I’d known what it would be (these were all mystery knits)
The wrong rock strikes again!
Onomatopoeia baby What’s that sound like to you-oo-hoo? Onomatopoeia honey The sheep goes baa and the cow goes moo-oo-oo
Ashlii Babbitt got what she deserved, and giving her a military funeral insults those service members who served honorably and did not try to murder Members of Congress.
For what it’s worth I knew a couple paramedics who adored MOTHER, JUGGS, AND SPEED (1976)
An uncharitable read on that Lorenz piece is that she’s a Republican deep operative and her effusive praise of Republicans’ own building of an “independent media infrastructure” is the mask slipping I do not believe that this is unlikely
I could not fucking care less if my actual life depended on it
Nobody: Still Nobody: Prestige TV directors: ok so this character needs to make an important decision. They’re at a metaphorical crossroads. So obviously we’ll need an establishing shot of them sitting at an actual crossroads, the more desolate a location the better. Desert, snowy farmland, etc.
What is he gonna do, send a fleet up the Potomac?
Impossible to put into writing what should happen to the agents whose job is taking fathers from daughters, but you can certainly think it.
I could be wrong but it seems like nobody ever brings up the fact that the whole reason for the casino planet excursion was to meet a contact they never actually met. But hey, they met another guy who just happened to have the exact skill set they needed! I’m sorry that’s just sloppy.
“You hate rural people without knowing them.” Oh, no. I know them very well.
Any of the Lils except for Kim
The insistence among a certain set that ceasefire means “permanent end to hostilities” is still baffling I remember at the time a lot of us made the observation that a ceasefire is temporary by definition, and what they really wanted was an armistice that probably wasn’t going to happen
ChatGPT talking a kid through killing himself isn't a First Amendment issue at all.
It’s mainly fiction that gets rotated out, because it’s a very small library and fiction takes most of the shelf space Local/regional authors and books tend to get kept around longer as well
i’m ready to stop seeing the murder weapon. all these sick little freaks scribble references to other mass killers on their guns and it typically isn’t more than an in-group signal to their fellow mass-murder enthusiasts. there’s no need to engage with it on social media.
I don’t think so but they’ve got to track it somehow
If you’re pushing bipartisanship you are not meeting the moment If you’re worrying about silly stuff like this you are not meeting the moment Retire and get someone in there who understands the situation we are in
I was mostly trying to avoid the big systemic stuff that everyone always wishes for. The genie isn’t particularly important other than as a means to get the wishes.
Having to hide a lot of posts because you people won’t stop posting pics of the murder weapon.
