bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 12hJudging from the faces in the clip, American men do not seem to be facing much discrimination. Although I will concede that American men are accused of rape and sexual abuse out of proportion of their population numbers. So there’s that. 000

bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 27/09/2026She's the only voice of reason in that room. The AG's job should be protecting our rights, not mansplaining to justify a technology that can rob us of them. We're smart enough to figure out the benefits. And, of course, then for no reason blaming the previous administration. 000

Boo-hoo. 000
bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Typical and reprehensible conservative worldview. Everything awful is fine, until it hits close to home. No hint of empathy for the stranger. 000

bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 20/09/2026If your library doesn’t have the DVD buy or rent it from (I’m sorry to say the name) Amazon for about 4 bucks. We couldn’t believe how the 1970 film’s AI sounded like today’s AI oligarchs’ arguments (they would cure disease and bring peace but it might have to kill millions first). 000
bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 20/09/2026AI danger alert! Last night my wife and I watched a 56 year old sci-fi film The Forbin Project (also called Colossus) from 1970. It seemed far-fetched back then, now it is frighteningly prescient (although some of the tech seems clunky) echoing the concerns of pro and anti AI arguments… 100
bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I was floored by the absurd non sequitor of her ad. She says GOP won’t talk about the war, inflation, and what she implies are really important. And then spends the rest of her message on women’s sports, a totally meaningless diversion. Brilliant! /s 000

bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The video makes it clear the problem is that the super wealthy are able to avoid income taxes altogether. But really, what is your point? Bezos himself said his secretary pays more “income” tax than he does. 130

Everyone i have ever talked with about that awful day remembers the details of where they were, who they were with, what was said, their feelings at the time, and so forth.

bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 02/09/2026To my way of thinking, the penalty should at least require the voiding of the contract they broke the rule to get. Analogy (ignore criminal law for this purpose): I steal the Mona Lisa. I'm caught. I have to pay a fine and do some community service, but I GET TO KEEP THE PIC! Is that right? 040
bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Most comments here accuse her of stupidity. I wish that would explain this wretched display. Likely, she knows what she’s saying is a lie, and she’s counting on the stupidity of her audience to buy it. Don’t confuse GOP stupidity (although there’s plenty of it) with evil cupidity. 000

The stories we're reading revealed the depth of goodness and kindness in her, and we can't help but weeping. 020
bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 27/08/2026DJT's 12 yo schoolyard Billy's normal reaction, exactly as I said to my wife when I heard this. Throwing over the checkers board in infantile pique as he loses. 000

bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 24/08/2026That was the inciting incident in Ricky Gervais's masterpiece "After Life" (This is not a spoiler, as it is in the first episode ) At the brink of deliberately drowning himself he sees his dog on the beach and changes his mind. My eyes are watering just recalling it. The show is also very funny! 0110
bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Personal note. This came out when I was at the height of my puritanical, judgmental late adolescence. I was so incensed at the premiss that I refused to see it. I caught up with it about 10 years later, a bit mellowed, and think it is a masterpiece all around. Thanks for reminding me of it. 020
bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 24/08/2026A nearly perfect film, aside from the next door doctor's stereotyped wife. MacLaine at her delightful pixies best, Lemon in a satisfying "worm turns" role, and Fred MacMurray back in dastardly Double Indemnity form. Brilliant script, direction, performances, and as meaningful today as 65 years ago + 130
bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Had the same experience about 10 years ago. Two couples went for a long weekend in Quebec City and Montreal.

bklyn4ever.bsky.social @bklyn4ever.bsky.social · 23/08/2026It always struck me that the two best-known and appreciated of Stephen King's stories were not horror tales: Shawshank and Stand By Me, both of which were published in the same anthology. Stand by Me was a story called The Body, but was changed they were afraid audiences would think it was horror. 2131
