this kind of bad faith wokeslop is downstream of takes like "being anti-Shein is fatphobic" and "it's ableist to ask writers to read"

my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

JOHNNY CARSON: Now I have to ask, you often get mentioned in the same breath as Peepee... POOPOO: Oh boy JOHNNY: ...but you aren't a fan of that comparison, are you? POOPOO: Well, haha, no JOHNNY: Do you want to talk about it? POOPOO: I just don't see it, Johnny

Sorry libs, prison is hell and shouldn't exist. Doubt his sincerity, argue that he only ever would extend this grace to someone like Holmes, but don't act like it's brainless to oppose prisons.

I feel like Tyler Cowen was wrong all the time but his brain wasn't always literal soup?

It's almost election day, which means it's the perfect time for me to start posting about how much smarter I am than the average person, who I hold in the utmost contempt. Please vote for my cand

Double feature of Poltergeist and Videodrome about the prescient fears of how mass media would alter our relationships with our families, societies, and ourselves

Poltergeist is a film about a nice white family whose daughter has the knowledge of America's crimes revealed to her by "the people in the TV" Is this the first film about the fear of Woke?

It's funny that these pre-internet filmmakers were able to predict the social changes that would come from it ("one day we will all have special names") but the actual films made post-internet *about* the Internet are all sludge with nothing interesting to say

lol "neoliberals believe in open borders" is a good bit

destinationrights.bsky.social@destinationrights.bsky.social

I have a feeling you saw a Democrat talking about border security and you wanted to paint yourself as more left than them as an attempt to sabotage them even though you might believe open borders are Koch brothers scheme or maybe you do indeed agree with neoliberals

"Are we all just gonna not understand accounting?" Yes, we are not going to understand accounting. Get back in your cage.

Are we gonna do this, Bluesky? Are we all just gonna not understand accounting? 72B$ of the 80B$ is convertible notes. They became greater liabilities because the company's valuation skyrocketed. They don't have an 80B$ loss in the sense that almost everyone here is imagining.

FATHER PIERRE BARRE: Confess! Confess, you devil! ME: I cannot confess to what I have not done. FATHER PIERRE BARRE: Bring more wood! [The BARBER places another chunk of wood in the contraption around my legs] FATHER PIERRE BARRE: Confess! You took the plums from the icebox, which I had been

Instagram is a fundamentally different kind of media platform than MSNow. Flattening these two scenarios into "editorial decisions" is silly.

Mike Masnick@masnick.com

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

Matt Darling may not be related to the Darling family of Peter Pan, but he does share a common interest: hanging out with a scad of minors who he says "will never grow up"

It rocks that these people view themselves as the serious systems understanders and then say toddler-level stuff like this

Kill Tim Faust 💀@tbone.malware-virus.biz

i think these guys should be thrown off a 10-story building. it's not a big deal because the average american will walk up thousands of steps in their lives.

It's always a pleasure to see a post like this and then click into the profile and see that they're an editor at a major publication

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.social

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

"Flying car" is one of the stupidest ideas imaginable. It solves no problems at all and creates a myriad of new ones. An entire generation had their brains cooked by a cartoon.

This kind of granular criticism of the fascist project isn't just childish, it's offensive. That the administration is only jettisoning its Madam Goerings is entirely predictable and beside the point that they are all regressive mutants who belong in a lunar prison.

Cory Booker is such a craven loser. His favorite scary movie is Frozen. He can't pee without the lights on. The doctors say he could literally die of fright if he ever hears Monster Mash.

Curb Your Malthusiasm@manuclearb0mb.bsky.social

Cory Booker’s statement didn’t even *name* Ilhan Omar. So why do I think they will jail the Trump admin when they won’t even tepidly defend their own

ALISON: Our Star Baker this week is... Kimmy! [Applause] KIMMY: I can't believe it! Stah Baker! Goodness me. NOEL, cocking the hammer: And that means I have the terrible job this week

THE RULER OF LEFTISTS: This is displeasing. I would like to see this... Brooks. HEAD OF THE DSA FLUNKY CAUCUS: But my loxd, he... he isn't on Bluesky. THE RULER OF LEFTISTS: Bring him to me.

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

*leaning over to my date in 1988* that's the rain man actually it's dustin hoffman, who won an academy award for his performance his character is based on real-life savant kim peek who had a preternatural gift for memorization and recall, particularly of dates and events the move grossed over
