All I know is if my parent interrupted my Pokemon game to send me over to a stranger to demand they give me their baseball, I too would be pissed about it.

Dakota Johnson doesn't know who OG Anunoby is, but she knows Black Swan is derived from Perfect Blue and publicly spoke on this, so she's back in my good graces. (Now somebody ask her about Inception and Paprika.)

stating that Israel is engaged in an ongoing genocide against Palestinian people is a basic fact. It's uncontroversial. It's true.

Am I perpetually wound up about everyone who shames women for ordering food instead of cooking from scratch at home, especially when it's criticism from single men and other women who have a partner with extra income? Possibly.

I'm also trying to figure out how to do single servings in an instant pot which requires extra equipment to do the math and I just want to fucking eat. Why does this need to be so complicated?

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

I still remember being given stock options in AOL Time Warner the day the deal went through and by the time the first batch vested a year later, buying shares at the strike price would have lost me thousands of dollars.

I mean, I’ve worked at the company off and on for long enough that I remember when “an AOL Corporation” was added to the logo and everyone thought it’d be there for years.

I saw a European online saying that America has "main character syndrome" because we call ourselves "America". No, we have main character syndrome because we funnel our economic growth into killing other people's children.

Anytime I see the name Skydance, I always think that I learned the company name because that’s where John Lasseter wound up. His sexual harassment of Pixar employees is called “accused” and “alleged” on his Wikipedia page.

To be clear, the human cost of layoffs and stolen work and deepfakes are horrific. I just don't think it's capable of being an active thinking machine that will "kill us all". It's only as effective its smartest human programmer.

Artificial was really good but is anyone else not scared of AI? It reminds me of low flow toilets and 3D movies. It’s trendy, unpopular, foisted on us, and it just doesn’t work. This isn’t going to take over our lives. The economic crash it could cause worries me more.

In the summer of 2025, a small group of women stood silently at Habima Square in Tel Aviv, holding empty pots to protest starvation as a war crime in Gaza. One counterprotester leered at the women close-up, shrieking “you’re all over 80, you’re ugly, you’ll end up in the cemetery soon, enjoy”.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

The reason some Jews are so skeptical of criticism of Israel, (and this is explanation and not defense), is that you start with "the Israeli government is racist" and end with what the Green Party actually adopted, which is, "Individual UK Jews can be punished for attending shuls we deem Zionist."

Hitler stops a Jewish man on the sidewalk. Pointing a gun at him, Hitler says, eat the dogshit off the curb. The man bends over, but then grabs the gun and tells Hitler, “no, you eat the dogshit!” Hitler does, and the man runs. Arriving home he says, “honey, guess who I had lunch with today!”

A central pillar of the liberal worldview is that any deviation from the current order established by our oppressive status quo, regardless of ideological underpinnings is problematic. Passionately want All People to have rights? Basically the same as passionately wanting No People to have rights.
