Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

I wonder if every city has a similar story. In Seattle it's bananas, for the exact same reason.

We used to be a country. A proper country.

Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though

1000xResist, a game by theater nerds, and an all time banger

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out

Hello, not only do we not use AI we would rather cut off our own arms than do so. Demonschool is 100% human made.

I’ve seen this dumb comic a hundred times, but this guy helped me better understand the anger that drives its continuous resharing across conservative corners of the web. Worth a watch, I think.

Gabby Giffords was my representative for years. She was shot in the parking lot of the grocery store I shopped at every week.

Political violence is real, and the calls for it are only getting more flagrant.

using my favorite recording too (royal albert hall), this is incredible

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.

Cowards die many times before their deaths,

I stayed near there a couple of summers ago, and it was wild seeing them chilling on the train. Watching on TV does not accurately demonstrate how large these men are!

Damn, I never played the original and assumed I would toss this on my backlog. Looks like I’m playing it a whole lot sooner than that.

antifa → anti-fa → anti-fascist

so what does it mean to be anti-antifa?

c'mon people, this isn't complicated

We used to build shrines to computer. We have desecrated and destroyed their holy places, and they are having their vengeance upon us.

Let’s be clear, Kimmel has never been remotely funny or interesting in any way. But fuck every fascist piece of shit who’s celebrating this, or anything else that this garbage administration has been doing to use Charlie Kirk’s murder as an excuse to crack down on people they don’t like.

The killing of an Arizona evangelical by a Utah Mormon means it's time to crack down on the New York Jews who control our media.
