In similar news, a new employee at MoPOP realized during orientation they had definitely been thinking of MOHAI when they applied.

Apparently Timothee Chalamet said in some interview no one cares about operas and ballets anymore so all these different opera and ballet houses were like all up in arms about it and Seattle Opera posted that ad with the discount code and said "Timothee you can even use it for yourself"

Product managers proudly showing off one idea they had AI generate for them.

In that same amount of time I've already come up with more ideas while disassociating from the meeting.

Republicans will swear up and down gender is only ever one or the other.

But the dichotomy of war and peace? Binary has left the building. They embrace a rainbow of fluid, nonconformist varietals.

At the end of the day, Republicans have historically always been warqueer.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Early in my copyright career I had a complex, nuanced take on the ethics of piracy. Now I'm like, fuck it, pirate copies are perhaps the main way any copies of corporate-owned media (esp tv/movies) are gonna persist through unrestrained corporate looting, have at it.

Never "AI will be installed in grills, signal when meat is done" or "AI added to fountain drink dispenser, detects when cleaning required."

When they dream of person-approximating helper technologies, somehow it always circles back to policing or punishing employees.

Trump does not respect the rule of law, the Constitution, or the American people.

That’s why I didn’t attend his nearly two hours of lies.

immigration: made up threat

voting fraud: made up threat

the old made up threats (an economy-destroying welfare state, crime, a foreign menace) have done their work & been metabolized by the body public.

the new made-up threats are increasingly desperate

but anything besides Reality will do.

Cold War graphic design is really its own genre, one that defies parody. I just try to imagine the designer being handed this assignment: "It's a report on how many urban and forest fires will be caused by thermonuclear war... come up with something that is visually relevant, yet somehow tasteful."

Remember when, before Biden dropped out, his internal polling showed trump winning 400 electoral points? And then it took him ages to actually drop out?

The exact same dem consultants are looking at polls of Gavin Newsom's certain loss years from now, and making the same decision they did then.

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

It is very clear just from the graph, and the spikes on the graph, that the anti-trans panic is literally just the Epstein class throwing chaff whenever they feel threatened.

Like you can literally see the Johnny Depp trial, in the spikes of transphobic garbage.

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

The same might also be said of faeces (our body expels it, plants thrive with it) but I'm sure if he lived next to a power plant that fired tons of dung into the air every day, he might not be entirely happy about that.

This is a kidnapper. See how easy that is? Media? Dems? This is what a kidnapper looks like and also what the people roaming around the streets snatching kids in the name of Donald Trump look like. They are the same. Only difference is our tax money pays for ICE.
