Rest in power, legendary Oneida First Nations actor Graham Greene. I got shivers hearing you tell Echo that her enemies should know ‘a Choctaw warrior is coming for them’.

Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy. They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.

Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)

I genuinely think part of the current political dynamic is that a lot of Dems -- especially your typical educated, affluent city-dwellers -- simply can't believe what's going on. Even though it's right there on the TV, right there in the streets, it's hard to shake the feeling of unreality.

Just had an absolute blast chatting with @heathlambert78.bsky.social for the That’s So Random live watch of Winter Soldier, the jewel in the MCU’s crown.

I hear both transphobes and normal folk talking about Testosterone as a performance enhancing drug and Estrogen as performance decreasing drug, and that's dude centric and not true. T and E are both performance enhancing drugs for sports. They just enhance different aspects. Let's talk powerlifting

it’s basically trite to note at this point but if this were any other president, and certainly a democrat, spending a ton of money to gild the white house would be a legit scandal

All those chuds terrorizing Washington on Jan. 6 lived in the DC area and just drove over on their day off from the white-guys-banging-on-steel-with-hammers factory. They bought their enormous arsenals of expensive assault weapons by working overtime at banging on the metal.

this is a really good example of how "anti-imperialism" and scorn for women and minorities having jobs are in fact the same thing

Freedom to cause offense without being jailed or sued is a thing. Freedom to cause offense without being criticized, shunned, and despised is not. The very concept is incoherent.

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

Michelle was groomed into the Christian Nationalist movement and was a GOP operative by the age of 16. She's ready to tell her story. In this interview, we discuss Heritage Foundation, dangers of home schooling, and more. newsouthernrevolt.substack.com/p/my-intervi...

Hollywood has always had a problem with throwing VFX folks under the bus (Glares at James Corden and Rebel Wilson at the 2020 Oscars) and maliciously underselling their work (Glares at Jon Favreau during the Lion King 2019 PR), but this is a whole other level.

Once again, AI is not a miracle machine mind, it is an additional layer of obfuscation between the product and the people exploited to make it.
