"It can only good happen." Truly, the most erudite wordsmith of our time.
It's somewhere between Gunsmith Cats and Alita for me. Both basically changed my life. :p
I love a good long song. Used to use them to sneak off to go to the bathroom when I was DJIng. XD I will go in a different direction this time. :)
This is one of those ones I really need to think through, and make sure my submission isn't duplicated, because reasons. :)
I thought it was nice. :) I think a lot of folks are bent on framing Autistic folk as inherently superior or inferior, but the truth is that it's neither and we just have a different lens of experience, and people are really, really complicated. Far too much so to be described linearly.
Quintessential for me.
It's... hubristic almost? There's obviously no way we can survive this without allies, and a lot of them. We have to have hope in the ability of people to grow and learn or what hope is there?
For all th mockery they get, a lot of Disney adults actually believe in the values of the characters that they love: acceptance, kindness, sacrifice. The stuff most of the stories (with some exceptions) are about. If only the people who own those characters could pay attention to some of that
Says a lot - if they had a competent, modern artist working on this it would look like Tomorrowland, not a high school homecoming.
Life on Mars by David Bowie.
Same. Big same. Every time.
The first step in grief for the world that was before, I think. The unmistakable internal sense that something has changed. And it may change again, but it will never be what it was before.
To get my money back, they would have to at least make changes to rules that prevent further fascist appeasement, or fire the entire board that made this decision. Absent change there's no guarantee they won't just cave to the next threat that comes around too.
That the majority of our current Democratic party has harsher words for Mamdani than they do for Charlie Kirk is a very nice summary of why they may lose my support in the coming election.
While the consequences of his death may in the long run be catastrophic, I am relieved that he has been upgraded from Nazi to Good Nazi.
No lie. It's my first thought when I think "Guillermo Del Toro gets it"
Newsom's cowardly sanewashing of Kirk fully enabled this.
@dropout.tv should consolidate all of late night under one roof run by someone with a spine.
Two characters, but they were glorious.
Janelle Monae can write and deliver one hell of a line. 💜
I'm looking at a thousand versions of myself. And they're all. Fine. As fuck.
He fully contributed to this by sanewashing Kirk's legacy.
Have you not been paying attention this year? The Calvinball courts have already given the answer on this, and it's time to stop expecting them to do the right thing.
While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:
We're about to see all two notches on the DNC's spine, while will stop just before "do anything significant."
I hope so.
Oh I am so sorry
Real talk, if it isn't clear: I'm terrified. It's hard to express the limits of how badly I see this going. You? Are good people. The struggle fucking sucks right now, but I really hope you make it through.
I hope you're doing okay. 💜 You're pretty great.
I think I will just pocket my Disney+ subscription for wherever @jimmykimmel.com pops up next. They obviously aren't using it for anything good.
A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
People need to make Disney lose money for bowing to fascists. Or they will keep doing it, and more, and worse.
This is 100 percent ABC showing its belly just because Trump wants Kimmel gone.
Always Been Collaborators.
Imagine if Thomas Dewey had said Goebbels' Work needed to continue, hung out with all of Goebbels' still living friends, shared Goebbels' views on people nazis hate, and thought Goebbels was a swell guy, but hated Hitler. We'd still say Dewey was a person with nazi ties, right? Re: Gavin Newsom.
Did they think naming themselves after the town that only exists because Harry Reid wanted urban luxury in his rural compound would... like... what... paint them as open to billionaires? More than that it paints them as amenable to corruptiuon.
The way things are going, I fully expect subprime to be back in play, and Google to point solely to predatory lenders.
Conservatives never really got The Boy Who Cried Wolf, eh? Guess it's part and parcel with the whole lack of media literacy thing.
This movie made me want to get good at rollerblades. That didn't happen, but I turned out a pretty decent software engineer.
Monster!
Seems kinda weird that the Vice President is acting like he calls the shots now, and that his first order of business is to repeal 1st Amendment Rights from anyone he can demagogue into a bad guy. That's sorta fucked up, right? Anyone else seeing this?
You are in very rare, and very good company there I think.
CNN does free PR for fascist billionaire.
This really makes me think of how excellent of a use of the trope the knife in Knives Out is. Both exemplifying Chekov's Gun and subverting it at the same time. Tasty. :)
Ah good. With the weekend done the Gavin Newsom evangelists have reinvigorated themselves. It's always good to know who the quislings willing to chide you into obedience are.
Oooo. I love building trilogies around weird themes. Aliens Predator Overlord
Bitten by a radioactive shitpost?
Given the insane regularity with which he advocated for violence against people he deemed undesirable over the years, it's a bit telling that they even had to ask.
Remember when they said that having to bake a cake for gay people was a monstrous threat to free speech www.thedailybeast.com/office-depot...
Remember the “narco terrorist” boat that Trump bombed? Venezuela reports all 11 killed were civilians. 0 gang members. If you think they’re lying, then USA could prove it by showing the evidence used to verify the 11 were terrorists. They’ve offered 0 evidence. This was a criminal act. Murder.
This may be the funniest part of the whole thing. They are so intently targeting people who weren't involved that they're going to miss when their own just walks up and stabs them in the gut.
Office Depot's corporate number is 1-800-463-3768 Option 5. They deserve to be flooded with calls about why they are forcing their employees to engage in nazi propaganda.
Still up @moderation.bsky.app - I think if you no longer care if your platform is safe for trans people, so much so that you are willing to platform obvious disinfo intended to foment violence against us, we deserve a direct answer from you so we can find a less shitty platform.
Absolutely legit comfort film, or at least I hope so because it is one for me too.
Both organizations are run by people with the same political goals, and while it is disgusting, it is by that gross sense logical. We are past the point where the corporate media can be trusted with anything but the most trivial of information, I think. Scary times.
The degree to which this has become *even worse* in the last six hours is a little uncanny and frustrating. It's like every time one of their obviously pulled out of their ass narratives to make a minority they dislike at fault is debunked they pull out another and the corpo media just laps it up.
The Worm and His Kings by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social - My favorite modern horror novella and absolutely just stunningly good. She stretches the potential of the genre like few have. ... I may have gushed about her before. She's really, really good. I may have a slight platonic author-crush 🤣
Hey @moderation.bsky.app - Something seems to be wrong with your reporting functions. I reported this obvious, intentional disinformation using your platform as a host hours ago, and it's still here.
Sorry I should have said *murdering, not euthanizing.
It wasn't a trans person who killed Charlie Kirk, but that didn't stop New York Post from saying it was, and blaming us for other shootings (which were also not trans people). It wasn't an unhoused person who killed Charlie Kirk, but that didn't stop Fox News from advocating for euthanizing them.
SO CIVIL
There are multiple things in this article, including its host, far more toxic than social media.
1) If you don't want come off as a bigot try "gay people." 2) Yes he did. He called the passage for gay stoning "God's perfect law," you disingenuous twit.
They don't care about the accuracy of their claims at all. Anything to get the rage-clicks, even if it ends up costing lives.
When the media tells you that a shooter is trans, without hard evidence, you should assume that to be a lie. It has been. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It always turns out that they are twisting the situation to make the shooter trans, or intentionally misconstruing the facts. They want a Reichstag.
It is the republican line long-running now, I'm afraid, and given their level of power, I don't expect it to change via just voting. Lives of those they deem undesirable do not count.
If any one of us called for Brian Kilmeade to be killed by lethal injection, for any reason, we'd be rightly excoriated. Yet he can go on national television, casually call for the extrajudicial murder of an entire group of people, and it'll be forgotten before the coffee gets cold. Fuck this.
I think most of the corporate media is salivating over the clicks they could get from Reichstag 2: Trans Boogaloo. The idea that there is anybody in any decision-making position there with any attachment to fact, or just not murdering people, is something with evidence pending.
Please enlighten me as to the context that makes advocating for the stoning to death of LGBTQ people 'civil.' (There isn't any. You should be ashamed of yourself)
100 percent. The moral of the story is they are looking for an excuse, and people looking for an excuse will eventually find one.
Fuck I think I just described my type as a movie 😂
The Haunting (1999) has a fantastic cast, is gorgeous, and has an *only mostly* written out queer romance subplot.
I feel that there's a buried lede here, and that's that we're getting the most bisexual of all dead meats next week. ... maybe an implied lede, but still.
I just don't find it to be good within my flavor of code work. It can write blocks well enough but when it comes to keeping a stable reliable system (the thing I consider to be one of the core components of the job) it is hot garbage.
I beg you, in the name of basic human decency (& my mental sanity), STOP calling being anti-LGBTQ+ “a disagreement.” Stop calling racism “a disagreement.” Stop calling being anti-reproductive rights “a disagreement.” Do not normalize these vile views as one equal side of a reasonable debate.
Are we not supposed to celebrate when a fascist gets upgraded to good fascist?
I'm going to be honest. I regard Willis as one among the Reverse Samson actors. Seeing him with a full head of hair is... not okay. That said...
I feel relief, and curiosity where the new public restroom will be.
Fully. The current administration has been actively engaged in daily atrocities for months. The platitudes are gross.
Whether it becomes a "was" or not, Charlie Kirk is a fucking monster with the blood of countless children on his hands. I will celebrate his absence, when and if it comes.
Of course. They get far more money from unvaccinated kids than they do from vaccines, and they are historically nothing if not willing to walk over the corpses of children for profit.
Now the important question: Backwards or forwards?
The only tattoo that AI should be allowed to give is "Poor Impulse Control" in any font. I'm thinking somewhere obvious. Forehead maybe?
Freakazoid is a treasure, and has aged much better than his inferior remake, Chuck.
When the state gives you no other option to defend yourself, violence remains, and at that point it is reasonable, if not obvious to expect violence to occur.
Iiiiiish. Mostly I think. Néscaflorne is fun still too, if you haven't seen it. 😇
Just from context: This edgebro is speaking in defense of the current regime? Dude needs to spend more time reading the constitution and less on kiwifarms or whatever.
100 percent. Not only way ahead of its time, but just freakin FUN.
There are basically two kinds of people telling you that AI can think: 1. Grifters 2. Marks Neither of those is a good thing.
"Hallucinate" to me implies thought, which is fully not the case here. Please do not indulge the grift.
