this is basically my plan for talking Elon Musk into investing millions if not billions into the anti-woke video game studio I'm definitely going to found that will definitely release a real video game that's better than the Witcher 3 BG3 GTA VI and Cyberpunk combined made entirely with AI
Will Sommer@willsommer.bsky.social · 2d agoTransportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...

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
Been playing Darktide for a minute now and I think it might finally happen, I might go all in on becoming a Warhammer 40k sicko

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

It was inevitable that reactionary centrists would turn against harm reduction and call for a return to mass incarceration

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that.

The left needs a candidate it can unite around in the 2028 primaries and AOC is the only real choice. Nobody else checks all of the boxes. Every other option is worse. If she doesn't run, it's a missed opportunity of historic proportions. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/aoc-must-r...

Yes, we should definitely go with "one of the most destabilizing events of modern history was actually good because I'm not working class and already had all the wealth and privilege I needed" as the counter-reaction to COVID reactionaries, this is exactly why people love leftists and liberals
Hard to express how important a victory it is for the big fat oafs who wear exclusively gym shorts community that John Fetterman is getting absolutely rekt in the polls. We've deserved better representation for so long
After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”
Alvaro M. Bedoya@bedoyausa.bsky.social · last wk.People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...
