Looks we love

i would really like people to get over the idea that comedy is particularly dangerous to authoritarians. if it was we wouldn't be here.

It's a nice thought, but the evidence ain't there.

"Guys. Ugg know that Ugg's caveKIDS are using wheel every DAY. So Ugg getting with program. You want learn wheel with Ugg?"

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

What Games Teach Us About Life with C. Thi Nguyen YouTube video by Adam Conover

Speaking with @adamconover.net, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen ( @add-hawk.bsky.social ) discusses how indie #TTRPGs create spaces of art & play opposed to the dehumanizing forces of capitalism & bureaucracy. His thesis is profoundly subversive in the best way:

Fifty research lab shuttered. Countless decades-old experiments and scientific records lost. Thousands of forest scientists and experts essentially forced into retirement. The destruction of science on a massive scale.

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the ...

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲

“One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.”

Sora was DOA. AI video is fiendishly expensive to generate and has no use case when human-created videos are better AND cheaper. The only surprising thing is that anyone was gullible enough to buy Altman's bullshit in the first place! Anyway here's the video I made about it

If Disney/Fox was a calculated land grab, the Paramount/WBD merger is a mutual suicide pact. We’re watching two "drowning men" zip-tie themselves together and calling it "synergy." 🌊⚓️ #MediaConsolidation #ParamountWBD

Bottom line: This $110B "megadeal" is a desperate defensive crouch against Netflix and Apple. We’re trading a century of film history for a debt-ridden monopoly that’s more interested in spreadsheets than storytelling. RIP to the "Golden Age." 🪦🎬
