It's kind of impressive how the way we regulate financial markets and corporations means there's never consequences for the people who make decisions, so the same scams get run repeatedly just by different companies, but when it collapses, the companies get bailed out while the rest of us suffer.

Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

I think similarly. The man has nothing but image, and a “heroic” assassination attempt “survival” certainly already worked once…

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews

We need more things made from people’s deep personal feelings, not less. We need less committee, less algorithm. The good stuff comes from people souls without being heavily tampered with by rich businessmen who know nothing about art or story. People want to connect with that gem inside.

As a sub over dub sicko I am infuriated with the state of labeling movies both online and at movie theaters. Just clearly state which one is the sub and which is the dub. You don't understand, if I hear an American voice my throat will close up and I will have to be rushed to the hospital

they're going to scale back all their investments and shit, and then pretend it's because they're being diligent and responsible and cautious and try to look good, instead of them just simply knowing their investments will not return anything. do not fucking buy this heel turn for a second

I see the sprouts of intergenerational hostility in the replies here and I won't entertain it. I believe in the XYZ Coalition.

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

Millennials: we have got to start talking up the Financial Crisis. The Greatest Generation dined out on the Great Depression for 80 years. If we’re not all out there talking about how we had to have five roommates and sell our plasma to buy ringtones I’m worried we’ll be missing our shot

After Trump succeeds in silencing every comedian on network TV, shifting the algorithm and AI moderation to silence every critic on the Internet will be nothing, an afterthought. Remember, every social media billionaire was at the inauguration.

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.
