I’ve been seeing a lot of new characters on billboards in the SweetJames Multiverse and I don’t like it. I want only the original, somewhat unsettling, Sweet James.
The constant Hasan discourse where he's now being called out by world leaders at the fucking UN is so much more deranged once you find out that like 90% of people have literally no idea who he even is, even at this point.
This is all right-wing politics is now, a guy who's killed tens of thousands of children complaining about podcasters

we have control mechanisms for this. it's called The Law. these guys should be held personally liable for these harms. the suicides, the thefts, the intrusions into computer systems. they should be sued and prosecuted as appropriate. problem immediately solved

I've now seen both The Wages Of Fear (1953) and Sorceror (1977) and idk any better example of two movies based on the same book that manage to both be absolute bangers in different ways that really complement each other. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Anyone who wants to understand how policing works in the U.S. needs to read this incredible local investigation about what Minneapolis police did after feds killed Renee Good.
I love being three sheets to the wind at a bar and a stranger wants to chat about something I just talked about on YouTube for an hour or the last decade or whatever
Look at this. The Mona Lisa of fake outrage and boomer AI slop by a conservative influencer who eats banana with an ice tea spoon, over something that literally nobody actually cares about. You don't get this incoherent rage and clickwhoring on Bluesky. It only happens on X.
now I’m thinking about how little biden cared about obama’s cuba reforms everyone except geriatric miami exiles loved. guy just couldn’t be arsed
What really drives this home is that in the corners of the internet ive seen where people are celebrating Macklemore getting the boot, they're STILL mad at Ed Sheeran for hiring him in the first place
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 2w agoEd Sheeran could have easily looked like a hero in this story and built his following and earned worldwide respect by showing just a bit of solidarity. He didn't have to say "Free Palestine" to stand with the artist he calls a friend. Bob Kraft ends up the bad guy, Sheeran stands for free speech
Macklemore: Palestinian children are people. Robert Kraft *actively getting a handjob from a strip mall prostitute he refuses to tip*: We must ban this hate speech from every stadium in America. Let me call up my friends, the Epstein client list. Ed Sheeran: Good point, sir. Both sides, sir.
among many developing reasons to shit on Sheeran, just a huge "what did you think would happen" here
imagine being worth 400 million dollars and blowing up your reputation for the sake of someone worth 15 billion dollars

for the past fifteen years I have tried to explain to people how the president has very little control, especially in the short run, over inflation and gas prices never contemplating that one would be stupid enough to make the kinds of policy decisions that actually could have an impact
Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 2w agoI need younger generations to understand how weird it is that trump is such a unique terrible fuck up that it’s actually correct to blame the president for a demonstrably shittier economy and costs
Worth noting, as Macklemore was banned by NFL owners in what will be dubbed "fighting antisemitism", that Kanye, who - sold merch with swastikas - said on Alex Jones that he idolizes Hitler - tweeted he was "going Defcon 3 on Jewish people" is currently on a multi-city tour of NFL stadiums
Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social · 2w agoNew: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.
Idk if a cabal of ultra wealthy Zionists conspiring to silence anyone who advocates for Palestine is the best way combat antisemitism

need advice. had to retire my gaming mouse and the new normie mouse ain't cutting it. Is there a mouse that has the weight, precision, and tactile feedback of a gaming mouse but without the clown colors? something a 40 year old man will use 99% of the time in google docs and maybe some photoshop?
CNN is doing free publicity work for a company that is never ever going to do any of what they're promising. This is not an actor, and there is never going to be an Oscar for whatever it is.

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.
There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”
