On the Current Discourse™️, I for one find it very funny how many ostensibly progressive men revealed themselves, jumping to shit on Wilson for her review, only to realize that hating on Nolan because you are racist or transphobic isn't the same as hating on him cause he's sexless and mid.

While I agree with this sentiment, for more than a few conflicts "losing" constitutes "having to exist alongside trans/non-white?non-hetero people" and you know I'm okay with winning 100% against that, no matter how unstable those piss-buggers make it.

it simply is not a thing that is going to happen with positive results for people in a democratic society to demand a resolution to conflicts involving multiple parties wherein one group gets everything they want and another group's concerns are completely dismissed

every time trump is president you gotta wash your groceries

There is 100% a random alien planet out there for whom microwave ovens are the peak of sci-fi.

New York City is the most perfectly "American" place in the nation, just one wave of newcomers after another, gradually building up the culture, one remarkable cultural collision after another. MAGA chuds hate NYC not because it's awful but because it disproves every lie they tell about immigration

The Bengali Knicks poet and the Sikh dholi guys combined forces for a follow-up! Now we just need the sewing machine guy and the ride a bike with stuff on his head guy to meet.

The demented lust for an Edit button is done by people who put “fluent in sarcasm” in their bios and we must not trust in their lies

Giving people the ability to go back and alter what they've already committed to the timeline would fundamentally break the site on a conceptual level

There are lovers you forget and sandwiches that haunt you for the rest of your life.

The more of us that die from the suicide machine, the fewer of us they need to convince to vote for them.

so cool that the canadian government plans to spend billions of dollars to encourage people to use not just a bullshit machine, but a mass death and suicide machine

Walking into the gym and doing a series of movements that defy physics. Barbell hammer curls. Barbell goblet squats. Cable overhead deadlifts. Nobody likes what’s happening and I am in the hospital within hours

It's pretty telling that the only real measure of success for AI is if anyone who isn't already a billionaire tech CEO loses their job. The "starving to death"-part of course comes after.

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

There's a guy in the theater lobby selling Grogu plushies and this is the best business model I've seen in years. That dude is going to make more money selling plushies tonight than OpenAI has ever made.

I think my #1 complaint about US food culture is the way that an enormous % of our population (regardless of economic status, so don't come at me) deliberately and intentionally seeks out gross, bland, unpleasant food because they vaguely remember an ad that said it was "healthier" one time.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

"I'm just using AI for concept art and promo, I'll hire real artists when production gets started " lol no you won't. I don't believe you.

All the Very Serious People™️ telling you how great things are if you have eyes to see will be talking in a several months about how the economy was always going to falter given "The Circumstances."

Reading first-hand accounts of the dead coming back to life to haunt a random village in medieval England and dying over how the accounts all describe how much of a "terrible nuisance" it was.

the same way eliminating car dealers, realtors and other parasitic right-wing industries needs to be a goal of the left for its own survival, eliminating chriorpactors, the supplements industry and other quack medicine needs to be on the agenda too

No exaggeration, I think this is one of the most important stories in US health care. MAHA makes a lot more sense if you see it as a hostile takeover by the quackery industry

Don’t forget their complete failure to read the room with Luigi! They were genuinely horrified *anyone* would celebrate the murder of someone whose entire job it is to kill people indirectly.

And, of course, the attempted martyrdom of Charlie Kirk was another extremely vivid example. The media and political elites trying to drive it seemed to be caught absolutely flat-footed when it didn’t really catch on beyond the already dedicated maga faithful.

John Cena’s kids must have been really fucking confused if they ever caught their parents “wrestling”.

To certain people in my life, “you can’t change anything but how you feel” doesn’t apply to group projects.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘HUNDREDS’ OF TIMES??

oh boy.

To be fair, things didn’t go too well for anybody afterwards. Cicero didn’t even take part and they nailed his hands and head to the Rostra.

If your solution to not understanding something is to use Google or ask AI instead of actual human experts, not only do you lack knowledge you lack principles. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm writing a letter to my local library to see what time world baseball classic starts.

Do you think Roger Ebert got into film critique because he wanted to say "I love Cannes"??

Love to splurge on the good toilet paper only to be so broke it doesn’t fit on the holder

Completely apart from what Leavitt actually said or no, if they’re stupid enough to start a war with Iran they’re stupid enough to bring back the draft for it.

Every economist on here, today in particular: "We're FUCKED and the only thing keeping us from being completely FUCKED is that we haven't yet realized just how FUCKED we really are."
