elon musk is the closest thing we have to a real world Jar Jar Binks he talks funny, hes the product of cartoonish racism, plus his main contributions to society are: causing explosions, and propelling us toward fascism via absurdity

when a poor person can't find work, they're "being lazy" when a rich white man refuses to do the job he's paid six figures to do, it's called "being in congress"

Peter Watkins is such an underrated director, and even 60 years later The War Game is utterly terrifying in its candid descriptions of the human cost of nuclear warfare. The film was banned by the BBC at the request of the British government, but they refused to acknowledge government censorship.

The scariest movie film curator Rebecca Fons has ever seen is no Hollywood blockbuster. It's a 47-minute, black-and-white, 1960's pseudo-documentary that almost immediately disappeared—possibly because those who commissioned it thought the result "too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting."

its almost like they love war

Chevron will award employees a special bonus for operational results so far this year, following the U.S. oil producer's record earnings report on Friday that was boosted by high oil prices from the ongoing war in Iran.

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

@fadeinpro.com hey, i love Fade In. minor note on the latest update: i use Custom View Colors to give my app a dark mode look (black bkgd). it used to change the color of the cursor to the same as the text. but after the update, the cursor stays black, so i can't see it on my black background.

Well...

the way Nolan talks about xenia is so weird

some men will do literally anything not to have to talk to their own fucking children

its been a wild ride being alive to see the cultural shift from "the female orgasm does not exist" to ads that are like "your girlfriend is mad that you cant make her cum so buy these dick pills"

how dare you suggest that anti-trans organizations are "anti-rights" simply because they are explicitly against trans people having rights!!!

not sure their political platform of "lets ruin every American's summer vacation" is gonna be a winner for them

Hegseth: "The flyovers will indeed continue until morale improves"

fascinating to watch Red Letter Media talk about Delta Force but have no idea that the opening scene is a dramatization of the failed mission to rescue US citizen hostages in Iran, so theyre just like "lol the movie starts with a helicopter blowing up for no reason"

maybe id be able to take Emily Wilson serious as an expert if her head had the same circumference as Joe Rogan's. like, she's not even trying to get swole

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

What's really bizarre is that despite all this hard data about how terrible the Republicans are at governing, every single Democrat ad I get on YouTube is just "Please give me 5 dollars. I need your money. No, I won't state any of my own positions, or any of my opponent's failures."

The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.

enjoying the Odyssey as Homer intended: having Grok spit out a 30 second summary of it at me while i kick a poor person in the head

don't worry, when the AI bubble pops and takes the entire economy down with it, im sure Trump will respond with tact and concern for everyday Americans

Delighted that the current Jeopardy! super-champion took some time in tonight’s interview to talk about his love of Jet Lag: The Game, which has become an obsession for my wife and me this summer.

my union negotiated an $8,000 lump sum to be put directly into my bank account last week. so far i’ve paid $923 in union dues since starting this job last year. pretty good return on investment.

Buttigieg: We gotta get out there and build that new governing vision, not by preaching to the choir, not by only talking to everyone who already agrees with us, but by finding the people who haven’t always voted our way and changing how they see us by showing that we see them.

yo, when the LAPD claims they cancelled their Flock contract for "civil rights and civil liberties reasons," you can be 100% certain they're lying, and it's for some other, extremely nefarious reason like they're developing their own internal system that will cost way more and be way more evil

christopher columbus--a man whose only remembered "achievement" was contract work paid by, and executed for the glory of Spain, not Italy--is hailed as the greatest Italian ever, by people whose knowledge of the past is drawn entirely from History Channel documentaries about Hitler
