to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be
I'm the dude in charge of ordering stock for manga shops.
I'm the guy who's like "Gimme three copies of Vol.2, a single copy of Vol.8, and nineteen copies of Vol.10".
I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic
"Do not forget it, i can remove you from this transaction" goes so hard
Hard same, I know it's a marketing gimmick (I hope like most marketing gimmicks all this booktok shit evaporates in the cleansing light of day) but the "tropes checklist" is one of the worst things to happen to the public's relationship to books, every time I see it I feel the call of violence
i know it's not the most important thing going on right now but it's insane car alarms are legal
Labour act like strategy is hard but right now you could become PM just with the slogan "I legitimately have never met nor spoken to Peter Mandleson"

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.
Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?
If Glasgow City Council are going to continue to allow everything of any cultural value to be destroyed anyway then maybe AI bald eagle tenement mural was actually exactly what the place deserves.
A weird but important reminder that there is no such thing as neutral surveillance and you should be unhappy with people putting Ring cameras around your neighbourhood
I do not give a fuck what you think about the current Iranian regime! If your condemnation of the attack starts with “well the Iranian regime is clearly bad and it must go” then you have aligned yourself with empire full stop. I can’t fucking believe how many people are doing this still!!!
all else being equal it was really funny that a president actually said this
i have a lot - a LOT of critiqiues of the greens. more, on paper, than i do of corbyn's positions. but they are all overashadowed by the most important factor of all: zack polanski and his staff have absolutely zero connection to the PLP
myrient shutting down
Starmer adding an incredibly unpopular, unjust war on the side of the most detested country in the world and the second most detested is surely going to turn his numbers around, just you wait and see.
I think that when the regime that has ordered airstrikes on a girls primary school asks if it can use your military bases to launch more missiles you should say no
If a fetish is just what makes a person experience arousal/attraction, then practically everything you've ever read or watched involved the creator's "fetish". Fetishistic attraction is not automatically morally different from normative modes of attraction.
fundamentally a party that gave the slightest shit about either drug addiction or violence against women and girls just wouldn’t be posting trivialising nonsense like this
Truly the most stupid timeline. At a point in time where renewable energy has tipped into genuine widespread viability, capital invents whole new ways to fabricate waste and scarcity.
Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years
Reminder that for about 4 years the entirety of the British media and a larger chunk of the British Establishment insisted that Jeremy Corbyn was entirely personally responsible for whatever anyone claiming to be a supporter of his posted on social media.
This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it
the democrats deliberately boosted the candidacy of donald trump and ran status-quo empty suits against him and those brilliant strategies got the US two trump terms. a few oddly still have the audacity to blame the left for their lack of enthusiasm in cheering on these obviously awful plans
Tweet from @TheOmegaVirus Mgs4 boss: *Tries to give Snake a lapdance and dies* Drebin: "That was Angry Armadillo, she was forced to eat cement as a child"
With more people getting the opportunity to play Metal Gear Solid 4, it means more people will understand one of my favorite posts online

the thing that’s insane about ring cameras to me is they almost entirely surveil amazon workers. you’re paying them to be their security contractor
why do you need to observe your house if you're not in it. you are giving yourself an opt-in mental illness. no one has to live like this
every single journalist knew all of this decades ago. every single politician knew all of this decades ago. to pretend otherwise is to act like suddenly they just discovered gravity this week and yet thats the farce we have to all go through apparently
mandelson downfall has the same feeling of the weinstein one where he was so famous for Being Like This that it was part of his widely known public persona so the entire media theatre around it makes you feel completely insane
