Someone let Crypt Keeper Carver out of his lair, and now he's babbling about Hasan Piker and leaving the Dem party ('cause they're not fascist enough I guess). "It's the economy stupid" - yeah, we figured that out decades ago. Turns out the economy is stupid, not us. Go back to sleep dude.
It's okay to think Beastmaster isn't a good movie, but the story is pretty wonderful. It's the kind of half serious mashup of genres and tones that makes great b-movie entertainment
Holy shit this is like the list of Browns starting QBs since 1999 but for sex criminals.

It's important folks understand that ICE isn't exceptional or unprecedented in its brutality. The police, CPB, the military, private security, sheriffs, state police, surveillance agencies, prison guards, are also and always have been abusive and horrific. Abolish ICE should be the start not the end
Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed from the west bank as we speak.
Over 100 years and corporations, rich people, and their political sock puppets are still trotting out anti-communist messaging. It's so tired.
Saying "the US is a third world country" is an insult to developing countries. People take science, education, healthcare and vaccines seriously in developing countries. Most of the problems in developing countries are due to so-called first world countries and corporations.
Finally saw Backrooms and I loved it. It's a film you can understand intuitively but will.have a hard time articulating to anyone else.
This week's read is the wildest book I've picked up in a while: Dengue Boy, by Michel Nieva. The main character is a giant mutant human-mosquito hybrid living in 2273 in a post climate change slum in Argentina, which is now mostly a chain of islands thanks to sea level rise. Then it gets weird.

Dozens of immigrants at Miami’s Federal Detention Facility are trapped in brutal heat with no AC, sleeping in underwear, and finding roaches in their food. When one spoke out, he was thrown into solitary. Total abuse. We demand an immediate investigation and human rights NOW! 🎥 tomaskenn
Everyone is grieving - rightfully so - over losing Sam Neill. But please pour one out for Wai Ching Ho, wonderful Hong Kong actress who did it all - stage, film, tv - and also passed away this weekend. Go watch Greg Pak's "Robot Stories" to see some of her work.

Three egg producers will pay $3.3 million and donate 53 million eggs to food banks and nonprofits to settle a price-fixing lawsuit with the DOJ. None of the producers have to admit any wrongdoing. Is this really justice? Or just the cost of doing business?

It's Disability Pride Month! Time for corporations to spend money on ad campaigns showing smiling people at their offices. Of course those offices are inaccessible, they forced everyone to go back to said office without improving HVAC, & their data centers are driving up asthma rates
Corporations, please note that Pride Month is over, you may now stop pretending to care about LGBTQIA people and go back to your regularly scheduled programming of sociopathy
Birthright citizenship should have been a 9-0 decision.
My extremely hot take: Old-style boom boxes on subways back then > screeching train wheels > sounds of teenagers vomiting > Tinny JBL speakers on subway now > someone playing music on their phone speakers If you're going to play your music on the subway, play it properly with real speakers
