There is no way you can answer the questions people have around the lost footage by using AI to construct what can ultimately never be experienced. This is so ghoulish, anti-art, and ultimately, anti-human to me. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
The true purpose of Bluesky has been revealed and it's Michael Stipe telling us the lyrics to It's The End Of The World As We Know It
Aww, apparently, I can't get the post game show on Prime.
A'ja better get MVP. That's all I'm saying. #WNBA
Yeah, it wasn't tactful. And I imagine it doesn't feel good to see your name in the Chicago Tribune as someone who's not measuring up. But all of this "Angel torches her teammates!" and making the team's situation Angel's fault for not being a leader? That's a constructed narrative.

Not another subscription I need to watch women's soccer, I beg of you.
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world.
william shakespeare: tell me, where is fancy bred? in the heart, or in the head? average bluesky replier: fancy bred comes from the bakery you stupid dumbass, imagine not knowing that. idiot
Share this instead of that Annie article. #WNBA
She probably should have been more tactful, especially knowing how the media likes to turn her into the villain, but "badmouthing" is an overstatement.
The "badmouthing" was "We shouldn't build next year's team around a 36 year old player coming back from an ACL tear" and "Banham (who was only playing point guard because she was slotted in by necessity) and Van Lith (a rookie) can't replace a veteran point guard." All of which is true.
Bruce Springsteen is releasing the Electric Nebraska album to fortify his Omaha stronghold in the event that Sufjan Stevens restarts his fifty states project. You want Nebraska, you've got to go through The Boss to get it.
Are they... stupid? Does she want to leave THAT bad?
the whole point of disney money is that it's eff you money. they told a governor eff you. so when chelsea offers just 1m for your best player, your homegrown face of the franchise who made her uswnt debut at 17, there is only one possible answer.
A real renaissance man.
And it's unavoidably true that you should not build your team around a 36 year old who just recovered from an ACL tear.
Banham wasn't even meant to be a point guard. She got slotted into the role after Sloot went down. And Hailey was supposed to be learning all season from Sloot's play. Sloot getting injured like that was awful, and of course these players can't replace her.
Well, you got your clicks, and the Angel haters got their slop, so well done all around.
look i don’t love wondering daily if the mad emperor is planning on flooding the yangtze but on the bright side, we’ll never spend our way to a tight labor market again
If only the tsar knew!
Mentally @ing every single one of you
This Adrienne Rich poem about artificial intelligence from 1961 deserves another look in 2025: www.autodidactproject.org/other/Artifi...
Look, yes, sure, Bari Weiss is a sociopath and an incompetent writer, and she lacks the basic mental equipment to know what an idea or a principle might be, but set that aside and focus on the question of whether she has any idea of what news journalism is or how it works (the answer is no)
And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas
Really want to emphasize the fact that even if that boat was loaded down with the finest of 70s era cocaine that doesn’t justify killing 11 people.
California can keep our NIMBY housing policies and continue losing population to states like Florida where people suffer under crazy right wing governance or we can reform zoning, build homes, and be a refuge from that craziness. The choice is ours.
Out, out
Oh, so I wasn't the only thinking this.
Vancouver Rise can take some satisfaction that they lost to the Spirit less horribly than the Chicago Stars lost to the Pride at the beginning of the season. #ConcacafW
I'm a Rachel Banham fan, but she's only point guard because she was shoved into the after Sloot went down. As for Hailey, well... maybe it wasn't very tactful, but can anyone say she's wrong?
I doubt it's a surprise to her teammates that they're not winning many games. And she's just right. I desperately hope Sloot comes back for another year, but even if she does, she CAN'T be the starting point guard.
this is an actual Bari Weiss column the New York Times actually published. she should still be writing for a middle school newspaper! Yet she keeps getting some of the most important jobs in journalism, because she tells wealthy right-wing elites what they want to hear. archive.is/LiqXa
Why are the Washington Spirit bullying some children? #ConcacafW

How are non-boomers still giving out worthless boomer job advice? It's not "over-intimacy"; it's the current convention of the professional world.
Fair enough. I do feel confident that nothing this woman has done in the last few years is healthy.
Considering she tried to murder a woman, I don't think it was healthy!
It's always the guy you most suspect.
Just a general PSA this artist JIm Musli (that a few professional follow) uses AI in his process and openly admits it as recent as 3 days ago. I’m not sure if he’s in some starter pack but I had no idea who this guy was until now
See, @chicagotribune.com? You don't have to be a bunch of worthless quislings.
It really, really shouldn't be hard to say "Israel is committing a genocide against the Palestinian people and the U.S. should stop providing weapons to help them" without bringing "race science" into it. And yet!
Chicago's traditionally had a strong Irish diaspora. Maybe we can adapt this. youtu.be/NieKfRjgy5U
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
We need cheap rent so idiosyncratic weirdos can make a living pursuing their passions.
Haters will be working overtime 😌🤏🏾 #WNBA
I think this idea is key to so many internet interactions
She never stops working.
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
Ok.
i thought he was in a baby bjorn
also, what do you think people conclude when they hear you say Donald Trump is a "wannabe king" who is "attacking the American people" (both true things Jeffries has said) and also that you want to find common ground with him? Probably that your criticisms are insincere or that you're weak or both
Looks like Robin got tired of being slapped for reminding Batman his parents are dead.
listen i didn't think he was dead either but the jokes were funny and this just makes you look like an asshole
We were never going to know if we could get him through collected will unless we tried. (And you know what they say: If at first you dont succeed, try, try, again.)
Hey, @chicago.suntimes.com, the above is what NOT to be if you want me to keep donating.
Fine, fine, I'll donate to the Sun-Times again, if you insist.
You want class to be THE most important oppression. THE most relevant identity. And that's not always going to be true
And what you don't seem to understand is that who the trans barista has the most in common with isn't a fixed thing. If she's unionizing, the construction worker may be her natural ally. If she's wants to change her legal documents, then she indeed might be in common cause with that evil lawyer.
Or maybe the lawyer works on immigration defending undocumented immigrants, and the construction worker has committed multiple hate crimes. Your job never inherently makes you a good person. Your wealth or lack thereof doesn't make you a good person.
What's bizarre is your belief that "lawyer" means one thing (Union-busting Karen, bad) and construction worker means another (stalwart working-class ally, good), when that's an extreme generalization. Maybe the trans lawyer votes straight Republican. Maybe the construction worker loves his trans kid
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Legitimately surprised to see Pritzker and Johnson side by side considering they hate each other.
vast majority of things currently requiring parental consent are things that the youth should either be liberated from requiring consent for (name changes, abortions, HRT, haircuts) or things that should be unilaterally forbidden (child marriages, signing NDAs on their behalf, TBI-heavy sports)
*take
I thought solo poly was being poly and currently single. I officially don't know what anything means.
Don't kink shame.
I mean, the fuckers tale everything from us.
I refuse to watch or listen to Trump if I can avoid it. Can anybody tell how fucked up he seems?
Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…
I don't think most of them actively want all kids dead, but they dont care if kids die if that means keeping that total control. This is a time when I'm going to say. "It's evil, not stupid" matters.
A lot of folks are calling this stupid, and I hope this isn't obnoxiously pedantic, but the people who made this law weren't confused or foolish. Their goal is total control over children.
Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:
"Children can use smartphones to watch TV and play games during class" is really not an argument for *not* banning them.
Disco Elysium really knew what it was doing when it asked if women are bourgeois.
A standard bit of leftist rhetoric is that you're more likely to become homeless than become a billionaire. This is meant to increase our solidarity with the homeless. But the trans lawyer is also more likely to become homeless than become a billionaire, so why shouldn't I be in solidarity with her?
Have you thought, Matt, that maybe they just don't like you?
Its more of a saxophone solo than a question really
I don't remember who said it, but someone remarked that the Stars are now "fun bad" rather than just bad, and that's hard to argue with.
The fact that fans are so happy with and others are so surprised by ties is certainly... telling, but progress is progress. And importantly, the Stars are fun to watch now, which they very much weren't for most of the season.
This is just us having a little jape online. We must find our joy wherever it comes.
A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.
I'm catching up on @attackingthird.bsky.social, and they're talking about Chicago. They're saying folks shouldn't sleep on us, because while we can't climb the standings, we can drag other teams down. And I love that. Chicago: We can't help ourselves, but we can hurt you. #WithTheStars #NWSL
From "No Kings" to "Yes Kings If I Feel Scared." But, please, if you don't feel safe, there's no need to come to Chicago. Really, there's no need. You won't be missed
They like Trump and are trying to help him
yeah “giving a shit about real problems that are actually occurring” being made into a political liability is just an extraordinarily grim development. you’re incentivized to avoid trying to actually address real things because there’s no upside at all politically.
Look at this cloud that looks like a bird perched over Manhattan

It's very weird that we're being assured the president is alive via golfing photos. Him being alive doesn't make it not weird.
I'm saying, that if there were massive rumors swirling that I was dead and pictures of me were being faked, I'd give a quick hello to some friendly reporters. That would cut off everything but the wildest conspiracies.
I have no idea if It Has Happened yet, but I do think it's weird that he hasn't just... done a press conference.
In this Ohio diner, cancer research is what astrologers do for people born in late June and July. But they do know this: President Trump's landslide 49% of the vote gives him a clear mandate to defund America's scientists.
I don’t think Kamala Harris would have pushed for the U.S. to literally annex Gaza and build a resort town on the rubble
And we know this would work, because, as we know, rich people dont commit crimes.
They have two modes, "Let's talk to the rapist and ask them to agree to a list of boundaries" and, "lynch mobs."
And it's another tie for the Stars! The team that ties! I'm thinking Ludmilla isn't getting enough credit for her defensive work. #WithTheStars #NWSL-live
Good series of passes. I definitely want to know our pass completion percentage for this game. #WithTheStars #NWSL-live
