This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
A huge part of You Can See Everything (though not explicitly stated) is how can you measure or understand the interiority of people who have zero introspection? Like literally how? It's not even "oh it's all selfish scamming", that would be so much easier to understand.
grimm 🎃@mugrimm.bsky.social · 5h agoI am a Nathan Fielder superfan and have maintained that the guiding line of his creative work is his obsession with the horror and unreality of media, especially reality TV, and this just really really cements this lol.
I want to talk about it so much but I also do not want to spoil anything which is insane to say about a documentary on something this well covered.
grimm 🎃@mugrimm.bsky.social · 7h agoReview of You Can See Everything: I was in a small theater at an unimportant showing and the moment it was done there was a ~15 minute discussion with all the other theater patrons, people disagreed entirely on what they just saw but also everyone was genuinely listening and respectful.
You know, you and I may not be this newspaper’s target audience
There are 5 houses in a row on my block with kids under the age of ~7, the number of times “it’s not fair!” is uttered in a single day around here must be inconceivably large

It's insane to me some people don't think Epstein was clearly running an espionage and political blackmail market racket considering everyone who openly ran cover for him in America has been increasingly rewarded years after his death by his disciples. www.dropsitenews.com/p/ashley-moo...

My teenage children, who have never set foot in NYC, go around saying "Help me, Mamdani!" whenever anything goes wrong and/or they can't figure out their homework, just to give everybody a sense of the scale of this man's presence in the culture lol
a16z complains that Claude stole customer data, Anthropic insists they prompted it wrong
In practice it did, albeit not legally. The PLO made the catastrophic decision to sign onto a political process which did not have anything close to the minimum demands of the Palestinian national movement guaranteed and the West was never going to do anything to back-load those guarantees in.
Considering Thornberry blew up her career and still hasn't recovered from something she posted on Twitter 12 years ago shows however this is far from an entirely positive thing.
Jim Waterson@jim.londoncentric.media · 15h agoAt Labour conference I asked Emily Thornberry, who’d just explained she hated Twitter, why she couldn’t quit. “I’m on Twitter because journalists pick it up. If I put it on Twitter they pick it up. If I put it on other platforms, they don’t.” Which is prob true and a challenge for politicians!
Russian official shares a Zerohedge AI slop tweet about tearing Europe up.
it makes my blood boil every time there’s a bullshit tech demo and everyone goes back to “oh that scamp elon has done it again” he’s a vicious monster out to ruin the lives of millions of people who don’t deserve any of it and he should be treated accordingly

😡😡😡 “Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that the Instagram accounts of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were hindered by restrictions during [Brazil’s] election” & that Meta “recommended the profile of challenger…Flavio Bolsonaro” & “his WhatsApp channel…” 1/
never have i been in the hospital visiting a loved one in the icu and thought i could silence alarms just because i am a healthcare worker
Yes no one has ever won power in America after using disparaging language or delineating specific enemies. Now, I've been in cryosleep for 10 years so I need to Google who the president is real quick to get my bearings.
@gonzojeff.bsky.social · 14h agoIm the person who was referenced by this post. Im on your side and vote the same as you. Im telling you calling people the enemy, chucklefucks, or idiots or making fun of the misspelling of a word isnt helping the cause. Its prejudice of a different flavor. Persuasion is the way. Appeal to humanity.
People love grapes. You get them when yr sick in hospital. RAPE is not a grape. IT IS RAPE. TYPE THE WORD RAPE OUT LIKE A GROWNUP FFS.
Ryan@radicalbyte.bsky.social · 17h agoMar-a-lago, Trump Tower, that ranch in Arizona, The White House and Epstein's Island? And by teachers he means billionaires and by "gender-affirming surgeries" he means grape.
"American communism" aka ADA liberalism lmao

wild to remember Capt Hannah Graf got a MBE in 2019 and now there's a de facto ban on trans troops
RDCK98@comradekenobi.bsky.social · 2d agoWe really are back to the 90s in so many ways, de facto ban on trans soldiers
These kinds of "stack-ranking" (forced-distribution) performance reviews were implemented at Microsoft many years ago to disastrous consequences. There was a huge loss in valuable, talented personnel, a dramatic drop in morale, and the company got rid of it in 2013.
Jeremy Berg@jeremymberg.bsky.social · 2d agoBinning comes to HHS performance reviews... The normal scale is 1 (worst) 2 3 4 5 (best). OPM is now mandating only 1, 3, or 5. www.statnews.com/2026/10/16/f... 1/3
This is both *shockingly* racist, and just plain wrong. Very different politics, military service history, they're nothing alike. Dumb take is dumb, prima facie.
grimm 🎃@mugrimm.bsky.social · yesterdayAbdul El-Sayed grew up in post 9/11 America as a teenager. He has endured a wild kind of permissible racism in those exact circumstances that were unique and pervasive. Yet this is probably the meanest thing anyone has ever said about him.

Since there's a lot of people new to Neera, just know that she views the rest of the world outside the US almost identically to Trump, just a resource to be exploited for domestic politics:
Not to get all Phil Greaves but it drives me mad when people go "the right is never represented in media" and there's so much right wing media I'd dare say narrative itself has a huge right wing bent since it's so obsessed with the individual and triumph and big man theory.
grimm 🎃@mugrimm.bsky.social · yesterdayIt's so bonkers lol I wish all of Shapiro's movies were at least as interesting in the same stupid way instead of just being rants.
