I was back home for the holidays from college and went to Transformers: Dark of the Moon. I was so mad I'd picked this for me and my older sister to go see and then it absolutely sucked.

I do think given that he works in Hollywood he is responding explicitly to the heinous genAI video slop that has been making the rounds. I'm completely uninterested in art not made by humans and agree the AI stuff looks like shit.

The text of the post? He seems incredibly proud of his lack of curiosity.

I don't think Mr. Corbett knows or cares about any such distinctions, and I think that's a mistake on his part.

This is becoming less and less true, in my experience. What's your strategy for keeping on top of what it is and isn't capable of?

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

The bit at the end about how much more willing Trump is to talk to the press than Biden was pretty gross, imo

I thought this was fireworks for like a half hour

Gun license like a driver's license would be a decent step.

Feels like psychiatric evaluation would end up like getting a prescription for medical marijuana was. 30 minute zoom call with a money back guarantee.

This is why you can't gerrymander/ungerrymander New England, right?

I had the pleasure of explaining the term "dummymander" to a few friends last night

The Story John Darnielle Lived to Tell When he was a teenager, the Mountain Goats founder never expected to live to 21. He has since become one of this century’s best songwriters. The lessons of his survival, life, and work feel endless.

big ol article about me in GQ, if you go in for that sort of thing www.gq.com/story/john-d...

Seems really unlikely. There's five locks in SGA, Jokic, Giannis, Luka and Wemby, then a couple more likely with Sengun and Siakam, but it falls off after that. They could classify KAT either way

The IRA would've absolutely crushed them

"Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
No matter what they tell you
Raise a glass to the four of us
Tomorrow, there'll be more of us
Telling the story of tonight!"

(I had to! 😆)

It's a pretty good app for sports

Kneejerk hatred of the free market is one of the most goddamn corrosive and self-destructive ideological beliefs in existence, and it exists all over the political spectrum, and it is a disaster wherever it touches.

Brewster's Millions for presidential approval ratings

This is a Dahl villain

I think a lot about Dorfl in Feet of Clay, offering to be ground up in search of his soul, provided a human submits first

PLATNER LOSES: "You should have nominated a moderate."
MILLS WINS: "Good thing we nominated a moderate."
MILLS LOSES: "Imagine how bad Platner would have done."
