V for Vendetta too... It seemed cringe and overwrought at the time, and on a rewatch it's like... Not so dystopian seeming anymore

Gross, but also, with the fleeting time DJT has left, and the way he works by fiat, why not just say yes, take the money, then scrape the name off the building when the one thing happens soon?

Here is an email that Elon Musk, current world’s richest man and owner of a gigantic social media network that generated child sexual abuse material on demand, sent to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on November 11, 2012: β€œWhat day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”

I dunno... In a vacuum yes, but a lot of the other pages of this paper are ignoring why people might need to know how to make cheaper food go farther, and in fact are covering for it, it just seems too perfectly on the nose to me

@sideways440.bsky.social is back and I'm so happy, I've kept checking his page for years waiting for the return. (I hope a fellow music nerd won't begrudge me a "weLL aKshuALLY" but it's just "confiteor" with one T.) I didn't say that on the YouTube video though, just left love. Y'all should too.

Shorter David Brooks on the @pbsnews.org: Both sides watch the Minneapolis murder videos and see what they want to see. I'm reserving judgement.

What a despicable little fraction of a man.

just a reminder of the initial, in the moment, right wing reaction to jan 6

my favorite is greg gutfeld saying republican condemnation of the jan 6 rioters is an example of their moral superiority over the left

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.

We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

ICE hasn't terrorized St. Louis yet, so I don't know, what's the protocol wrt calling to cops on ICE? It fucking makes sense to me, but does it just make things worse?

FWIW I'm one of the 90%(?) of users who almost never post, I'm just here to read people I like, and I can read what you say and what the thoughtful commenters say and disregard the rest. I'm probably not the only one? But I don't know how you'd know.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Lindsay Ellis is the reason I signed up for Nebula, and she never disappoints

I am very personally called out by this, cause I've taken the time to get my home theater perfect and the people at my Cineplex can't seem to be bothered to spend ten minutes tweaking the goddamn settings on their projector, very dad of me

WTF is elitist about the teacher's lounge? Ours is just big enough to seat 6 people because the copier and fridge are in there. Ate the kindergarten teachers the elites now? News to them.

Art. Subway-style map of the itinerary in The Hobbit. The main journey is show in three different lines: red (Hobbiton to Goblin Town); green (Goblin Town to the Elvenking's Halls); and blue (Elvenking's Halls to Erebor). There are multiple stops on these lines. There is a yellow line going back from Erebor to Hobbiton, making stops at Beorn's Hall, Rivendell, and the Troll's Lair. There is an orange line directly from the Iron Hills on the map's right side to Erebor, and a purple line from Gundabad directly to Erebor.

The map's title reads: "Hobbit Transit Map" and there are directions for both There and Back Again listing the lines and transfer points. Between them, in the middle of the page, is a dragon drawn to resemble the dragon on Thror's Map from The Hobbit.

A key shows the names of each colored line: 
Red: Western Lands Line
Green: Mountains and Forests Line

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like β€œyeah, seems rightβ€”freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control
