Wait, you can do that?! Just... tax rich people more?! And cut unnecessary police overtime? And then you get to have libraries and schools and parks? And record low crime? And city services that work?

More early visdev from The Day the Earth Blew Up (in theaters now!) The bittersweet, sentimental "Days of Heaven" vibe on the first one has never stopped being funny to me.

Incredible to think how hard Merrick Garland worked for four years to avoid even the remotest appearance of partisanship or ideological commitments, and literally on her first day as AG Pam Bondi is like "Diversity is now illegal, we will be putting all the libs in prison"

AI is such a perfect distillation of capitalism: a massive dedication of resources to make and maintain a product that no one needs, prompting companies to desperately try to create demand they can then supply, ultimately deteriorating our ability to think, create, or explore.

Gen ai is poisoning our power grid, stealing intellectual property, using precious water, and ruining the internet with unreliable information and garbage imagery. Don't use it, and don't normalize it, even for laughs.

Oh hey look at that, the government knew all about the use of GenAi for this project. Awesome. Thanks for engaging in the exploitation of artists, the public and the environment, while displacing artists just so the US can be* checks notes* a prosperous nation… 💀 ow.ly/iU9L50UgZ9w
