Having subjected myself to right wing Youtube videos like someone compelled to look at traffic accidents, there's a lot more going on here than just right winger being negatively polarized into finding women unattractive. They think there's a conspiracy to deliberately make video game women ugly.
ae@aelkus.bsky.social · 4d agoi googled “deborah ann woll” after the god of war laufey contremps and i sometimes feel that “we’re getting heterosexuality in the national divorce” is a realistic possibility. x dot com is where right personalities are negatively polarizing themselves against the idea that women are attractive
I think the problem with a “rouge” AI being good at hacking random internet websites proving they’re sentient is this is also something bored teenagers are good at and yet I don’t think they’re sentient.

not only does this feel correct but i also imagine elon musk would hire chris avellone as CEO
10,000 Motivated Rats@bombsfall.bsky.social · 3w agoI subscribe to the @alexnavarro.bsky.social position that Microsoft is looking to sell Xbox to Elon Musk. I don't want this but it all checks out. It even already has an X in the name.
I don't care about History of the World Part 2 or Space Balls 2. When is Mel Brooks going to direct The Little Golden Calf?
Sam Neill insisting on changing the Australian flag in Event Horizon, and the reasoning behind it, speaks to his character so well. For those who don't know, the reason the flag on Weir's costume has the Aboriginal flag, not the Union flag, is because Sam said he hoped by 2047 we'd have changed it.
Mitch McConnell now has enough of Lindsay Graham's organs to run for his senate seat.

Imagining if Mishima didn’t kill himself and just got old and like Morrissey sad and ended up doing a million chat shows instead.
I mean it’s very obvious that any new Democratic candidate would be damaged by being seen as the rapist’s choice. But they don’t care about beating Susan Collins; they care about winning a factional fight so he can claim to be a kingmaker and their cheques will clear
Didn't watch the US-Belgium World Cup game but it sounds like the USMNT did so poorly that people are going to be claiming Trump ordered them to take a dive so he could cheat at sports gambling.
challenging to phrase this exactly right because it'd be in bad taste to use this as a gotcha against all his supporters, but the journalists who very explicitly framed Platner as a rejection of stuff like "HR Lady Politics" or (ugh) "smoothgroins" should take a long, hard, look in the mirror today
baudrillard and debord are in French Hell right now blowing their brains out

If Revolutionary Girl Utena was remade and it was exactly the same except one of the duelists wielded Guts's sword, which character would use Guts's sword?
somebody should make a serial killer hunting movie where three quarters of the way through they get assigned to this instead.

Why isn't the plural of 'analogy' 'alogies'?
I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
You have to keep winning elections You have to keep mowing the lawn You have to keep making dinner You have to keep taking your pills You have to keep cleaning the house You have to keep drinking water
Nied@nied.bsky.social · last mo.There is not a solution to "wait, we just have to keep winning elections?" other than to keep winning elections. There is no win condition to democracy.
When you think you've heard it all. German courts have ruled that a family who entered Germany on German passports in 2020 had never been German citizens, because a 1908 marriage between a German colonial official and a Togolese woman was not legally valid under colonial law.
GLOBALCIT@globalcit.bsky.social · last mo.Citizenship in the News 🇩🇪 DW: A family from Togo has been stripped of their legally obtained German citizenship under a racist colonial law, leaving them stateless.

All the advice I see says "used wax paper when gluing a book back together so that the pages don't stick together" and that's bullshit! All that happens when I try that is the wax paper becomes stuck in the book. I don't know where this lie came from but it has cost me too many repairable books.
