Most people don't know, but Ditka was annoyed at all the attention for the Super Bowl Shuffle, so he commissioned his own music video and VHS tape as well. The Iron Mike Dancers will also teach you how to do the "Touchdown Hustle" (yes, we had a copy of this) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENKW...

While they were eating, Ditka took bread, broke it and gave it to his superfans, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you."
the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Before Time Warner, Warner Bros. was owned by Kinney Services Inc, a holding corporation of funeral homes, parking lots, and industrial cleaning services. (They also bought DC Comics before they bought Warner, this is why Warner owns DC.)
dan sinker@dansinker.com · 5d agoOld enough to remember Warner Communications. Old enough to remember Time Warner. Old enough to remember AOL Time Warner. Old enough to remember WarnerMedia (AT&T), Old enough to remember Warner Bros Discovery… the Ellison acquision sucks but let’s not pretend Warner is some old school indie
Anyway, a movie culture without the possibility of insane overpriced whiffs will be a less healthy movie culture, and I'll eat these words the day that I can say that David Ellison has taken at least three big creative gambles, but I'm not holding my breath. x

the funniest thing about the "we don't trust the media" people is that they will trust literally anyone else. like, if you have an image and text, they'll buy it. shaking keys at babies type logic.
Starfire’s Deranged Neocon Foreign Policy Podcast@irhottakes.bsky.social · 2w agoI don’t trust the mainstream media, but I feel like the primary alternate model, getting the news from the posts of a 14 year-old Romanian schizophrenic shitposter named “G00n3R the Swamp Pervert,” is not necessarily a superior alternative.
there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Return of the Cmonstermacques@cmonmaque.bsky.social · 3w agoIt’s crazy to me that Hollywood is a nearly completely organic machine for American propaganda and it’s currently being destroyed by the dumbest people alive who think they need it so they can REALLY do propaganda. A crown jewel of American global cultural dominance discarded with barely a whimper
