Turning paperwork into something computers could do broke the social contract, and we can just passively maintain systems that would have been understood as occupation to your great grandfather

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

call her remote code execution the way a single text from her has me doing things i shouldnt

The Thin Red Line. Incidentally, also my answer to xkcd's "can a movie be so good, it's bad?". Every facet of the movie is genuine masterpiece material, but it's a miserable goddamn flick to watch. Also suffers from being the *other* big-budget, star-studded WWII blockbuster of 1998.

TV and not movie, but the best showbiz story of all time is production shutting down for the day because Mr Belvedere sat on his own balls and ‘pulverized them’.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

"average American drinks 2 alcoholic drinks per week" factoid actualy just statistical error. Alcohol Georg, who lives in Milwaukee and drinks 90 beers each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

If you're not familiar with the alcohol consumption by decile chart, it's a real eye opening look at what being a hardcore alcoholic is like

Private Security Contractors Are The Vanguard of Neo-Colonialism In The Sahel, Charlie Brown

Chef Kennedy🐸🏳️‍🌈@kennedy.northsky.social

"Charlie Brown had hoes" used to pass as a peak controversial statement but in 2026 it doesn't even come close. Now you need to say something like "Charlie Brown would have condemned Burkina Faso" to get a rise out of people

1st grade, about age 7. One recess period, I began just walking around the beams bounding the playground reading field guides to North American fish, and was reprimanded for reading it.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

Senate internals must be concerning for Flanagan if she's trotting out the endorsement of arguably the most reviled Democrat of the 21st century.

Peggy Flanagan@peggyflanagan.bsky.social

@hillaryclinton.bsky.social has spent five decades fighting for working families, dedicating her career to making the case that every child in this country deserves a fair shot. I’m honored to have Secretary Clinton’s support, and I’ll proudly carry on her fight in the US Senate.

Regular reminder that TN employs a 1-drug protocol, consisting of pentobarbitol only. Human formulations ceased production in 2020, and TN won't confirm their current source. Drug efficacy is dosgy because stockpiles are past their shelf life, or are grey-market compounded/veterinary formulations.

BREAKING: Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike is receiving life-saving medical care after she survived two doses of lethal injection, according to her attorney, who adds that the execution attempt yesterday was 'was not just inefficient, it was cruel and it was torturous'.

Top Treasury official's message to Americans who are unhappy with the economy: "Maybe change the channel and try to find some of the good news out there"

The Sunbelt Suburbs Occupation Government, like all fascist movements, depends heavily on contrived cultural touchstones. Botted streams of pop-country pablum is part of the plan.

This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.

Not that I trust Democrats to win any close elections at all, but GOP internals must be real lousy if Trump is putting his thumb on the scale for Republicans in *Iowa*, for a boondoggle that will never be built.

The mill is being built by Mesabi Metallics, a Minnesota company owned by India-based Essar Group. Mesabi has hired more than 200 workers so far, out of a planned 350 full-time employees at the mine near Nashwauk.

Regular reminder that at least 5 sitting GOP Senators could be ejected *right now* per reasonable read of "Inhabits" in Article 1, §3 of the Constitution: - Marshall (KS, lives in FL) - Tuberville (AL, lives in FL) - McCormick (PA, lives in CT) - Sheehy (MT, lives in MN) - Hawley (MO, lives in VA)

GTA 6 is going to come out and more than one person is going to play it ask "who is this even for?" every Grand Theft Auto game is made for a twenty four year old stoner in, and this is crucial, 2007
