Look I know a lot of us came up in different scenes with different cultural backgrounds but I think we can all agree that even for the time Good Charlotte was for posers

"Veeps was founded by Good Charlotte’s Billy and Joel Madden and has operated for many years as a ticketed livestream platform."

I don’t care if the line goes up or down. I think the line should go away altogether. You will never convince me with line related arguments.

Everything they're calling "AI" (the generative stuff) could go away tomorrow and I don't think a single thing about my life would get worse. It would be inconsequential to me. I can't fathom being so dependent on a brand new technology that I couldn't do anything without it.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

You call yourself a Star Wars fan and yet I’ve never once heard you mention Marfalump the alien who loves Pepsi

Right at the end he kinda hands it to Stephen Miller and if that's not a disqualifying opinion I don't know what is. Idgaf about this completely abstract notion of Western Civilization and neither should you. Running Harris or Pete or any of these people again is an almost guaranteed loss.

Would a 2028 Harris campaign mean reliving 2024? Pete Buttigieg says no. “This is about bigger things than whether somebody gets their feelings hurt by a page in a book,” he said. “This is about the trajectory of Western civilization.” 🔗 politi.co/3RSLiin

Every couple weeks the entire internet finds a new word to run into the ground. This time it's "immanentize".

Found an archive of some old podcast episodes (8ish years ago). Not sure if I'm proud of my growth or mortified that I ever used to talk like that. A lot of these are inside thoughts.

AOC usually has pretty good instincts about stuff like this but her reaching across the aisle to shake hands with antivaxxers take is a big goose egg. Emma just sat there and nodded along, too. Very strange.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Y'know at a certain point you can't help but notice that every anglophone documentary about Western leaders is called "The Courage To Succeed" and all the ones about the East are called "Darkness: Inside The Twisted Mind of Power"

And I say this as someone who's about fifty pounds up or down at any given time,

He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"

If they don't have a favorite poem, they ain't the one. Doesn't even have to be a good poem, but they've gotta be able to give you at least one.

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Oh I’m sorry is someone tired from throwing toys around all night

If only the idiot consumers with no labor power had just spent more money none of this would have happened, got it

Max Dubler 🏳️‍🌈@maxdubler.com · 3d ago

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

Obsession 👍 cat motif representing Nikki’s agency emerges naturally from the text. Very stylish, pulls off a some solid reveals and gross outs without leering. Navarrette’s performance is Possession-level at several points [positive]. Would recommend if you have the stomach for this sorta thing.

unseal your cards, unseal your comics, take things out of the fucking box. it's all just cardboard and plastic. fuck the resale market

K-pop star Momo is under fire after breaking open a vintage graded Pokémon card to stick it on her face and keep it in her phone case

Scapegoats are emotionally cheaper than systems. Blaming the left asks nothing of you. It feels good and righteous and right. Asking whether your institutions and your party failed you requires dismantling beliefs you have spent your lifetime building. That is emotionally expensive.

I love whenever James Carville climbs out of his bog to say “look here, hoss, that’s just not a party I can be a part of” because unless you are also a strange monster from a folklore tale, you will most likely feel a sense of relief that this hobgoblin is leaving the tent you’re in

You may call it The Odyssey but I call it The Normalcy, that’s just the kind of guy I am

nice joke, lol, reminds me of this unrelated political thing i can’t stop talking about

Lord help me I've mentioned both Lenin and voting in the same post here come the leftcoms

I'm sure there's a less problematic way to say "girls, gays, and theys" but if they're not rocking with it you probably shouldn't waste your time with whatever it is

One of my most immutable axioms is “nothing that only men like is good”

People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit

I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!

Maddy Myers 🏳️‍🌈@midimyers.com · 5d ago

it's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun

It's so frustrating how genuinely educated and informed liberals are about science, medicine, history, etc. until they start talking about existing socialist states like they're the fucking Borg or someting

Usually I try to avoid fed-jacketing but you can see a few of these ACP guys from space

Man what a movie

Listened to some demos from a couple years ago and unfortunately for everyone I think we're gonna have to finish producing them
