Somewhere a three-star general, 15 full-bird colonels and several Naval officers of various ranks are THIS CLOSE chucking their sobriety chips out the window and breaking out the Cutty Sark over this guy.

Dear @dischord.com , Y'all having a kick-ass year; new Bed Maker and Shudder music rips. You know what would rule? A clutch LP reissue (remaster?) of FUNERAL AT THE MOVIES (with "Crosstown Traffic") and putting the Funeral/TenSpot CD back in print. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. Very truly yours, Big Fan

Dear Democrats/Social Ds/etc., Have you considered running on Mr. Smith's comments and "aren't you tired of the endless corruption?" against quite literally EVERY SINGLE GOP CANDIDATE from dogcatcher to governor and Congress for the next month? Be a lot cooler if you did. Thanks!

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

This question is impossible. When you think what Jim Henson created. That these puppets can be so real, so representive of both innocence and anarchy; that for generations they have upheld and championed inclusivity and tolerance and all that is right in the face of so much wrong. Unparalleled...
Kermit the Frog stares at a black and white photo of Jim Henson smiling as he performs Kermit, holding him high in the air.

As he looks at the photo, Kermit touches Henson's free hand.

Spike Lee, I have worshiped you as a tiny, somewhat controversial God since SCHOOL DAZE. DO THE RIGHT THING and BAMBOOZLED have to be on any serious list of the most important movies of the past 40 years. You changed my life. Why are you doing ads for polymarket?

how did this happen? well we forgot to tell them not to do that
"Al agents can make decisions at machine speed and, unless they have been created with explicit instructions not to do something, anything is fair game. Many of these routes to completion would normally be seen as malicious, but the problem is guardrails that specifically tell agents not to break into organisations have not been baked into the algorithms."

Guardian article on ADHD and autism. - six instances of 'boys' - zero instances of 'girls', 'men', 'women' For a brief time, people were shocked and appalled when I said that my GP told me (in 2014) that autism was "what 9 year old boys have", but we're going back there huh.

Lots of good polling for Democrats right now. Keep in mind, however, that polling in the last few cycles has been significantly off (~4 points in big races), generally to the benefit of Republicans. My sense is that this is because voting for Trump drives shame. So respondents simply lie.

Robbing us of a more diverse cinema landscape is exactly what the Paramount/WB merger will do. Who cares if they make 30 films a year if they’re all films curated by studio heads like the Ellisons?
