regardless of what happens to the tarrifs, they're doomed from the start bc the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once: — virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — against increasing the minimum wage — buys foreign imports because they're cheap

It's Game of Thrones and it's not really an argument. This show was a cultural juggernaut, every week the whole internet watched together, it was endlessly quoted, children were named after the characters, and no one brings it up anymore because the last season was so awful.
What TV Show had the worst ending?

It's a shame there aren't any consequences for people like this who spent the best part of 2 decades injecting climate denialism into popular media
It looks like this year’s harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

It is impossible to overstate how much you should not do this
Damn, I wasn't ready for how this would feel. We didn't have a camcorder, so there's no video of me with my mom. I dropped one of my favorite photos of us in midjourney as 'starting frame for an AI video' and wow... This is how she hugged me. I've rewatched it 50 times.

When we were little my Mam had a recording on VHS of Goodfellas but instead she labelled it "Goodfellows" 🤣

Nobody asked for Bollywood movie scenes in Ghibli style — but here they are.

i can’t stop thinking about this video. 15 years ago this routine would get you called gay (or “metrosexual”) but is now considered peak alpha male behavior. something weird has shifted

Garron Noone being championed by every far-right clown in Ireland. I'll go through what he said in order to go way, way up in the estimation of bigots. Also some factual counterpoints to his views, which in my opinion could charitably be described as "ignorant shite." /1

Devastated to learn that Garron Noone, the guy who makes videos screaming about what he gets on his chicken fillet roll, has questionable politics. Next you'll be telling me the Two Johnnies aren't Marxist-Lenninists

It's insane that anyone can view this as anything other than the persecution of an oppressed group of people. This is fascism to its core, but too many people have succumbed to the moral panic of transphobia to realize that they're supporting it.
Hunter Schafer reveals that her new passport now lists her sex as male instead of female, following Trump’s instatement: “I’m not making this post to fear-monger, or to create drama, or receive consolation, I don’t need it. But I do think it’s worth posting to sort of note the reality of the situation and that it’s happening. I was shocked. I just didn’t think it was actually going to happen. I want to acknowledge my privilege, not only as a celebrity transwoman who is white […] I pass, and it still happened. […] No one, no matter how wealthy or white or pretty or whatever is excluded. […] I don’t give a f**k that they put an ‘M’ on my passport. It doesn’t change really anything about me or my transness, however, it does make life a little harder. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna come along with having to out myself to border patrol agents […] much more often than I would like to or is really necessary. And thinking about other trans women or other trans people who this might be happening to.”

Incredibly powerful photo by Wahaj Bani Moufleh. The expression on the man's face. One little kid only has one shoe. A baby's bottle in the woman's bag. The face on the little girl following. Armed Israeli soldiers stalking the family - one looks to be pointing a gun at them.
In the West Bank, homes are being emptied and turned into military outposts and sniper positions. This brutal Israeli attack has - killed 29 Palestinians - wounded dozens - detained many - demolished homes - forced entire families out of their homes Israel's war crimes in Gaza are being repeated in flagrant violation of international law without any repercussions. english.wafa.ps/Pages/Detail…

RTE can make a documentary about the storm faster than those still without power are restored. That's the 'Power' of a bailout.

If a billionaire is telling people a 40 hour work week is for losers then it's time to bring back the guillotine.

all of this is downstream from treating "intelligent" and "smart" as meaningful absolute descriptors of a person. no one is smart. take your heart surgeon and ask him to replace the battery in an iphone. take your history professor and ask if he can fix a busted transmission
So much AI hype is due to techies who don't know about anything else suddenly playing literati, social scientists, philosophers, while ignoring centuries of ideas. Certain areas of tech seem to promote a view of tech people as universal intellectuals & they themselves buy it

Elon Musk has been backing neo-Nazi parties around the world, interfering in elections and using his massive platform to attack anyone who doesn’t share his extreme right-wing views.

Since this has been trending, here’s a fun fact: “It insists upon itself” was a criticism my college film history professor used to explain why he didn’t think “The Sound of Music” was a great film. First-rate teacher, but I never quite followed that one.
