(4) Buuuuut I feel a lot of very different criticisms and discourses are getting thrown under the umbrella of "this fandom is crazy."

/end of numbers

(3) I'm not on twitter or tiktok (emphatically!) I have no doubt many people are being annoying about this show and perhaps even Wrong. And we'd all be better off with a firmer separation between the Angry Fans and creators/cast/crew.

(1) You should see the Pitt!

(2) IMO s2 had some problems and I'm not loving this backlash to the backlash phase of every white man writing 1000-word thinkpieces about how fans need to Shut Their Traps about it.

...although this hot take seems to not take into account that you DO have to sit in the airport waiting for the next one to take off. 😄

But I guess it's more like "you realize you can cut it closer most of the time if it's not the end of the world."

Same thing happened to me years ago on my way out of Dragon Con, and I don't even think they charged me a fee (maybe just seat/ticket difference) to switch to another flight the same day. But I remain paranoid things have ~changed since then and you can't count on it being so convenient.

It is funny to me that points two and three are “we must rebel against the tyranny of the apps” and “free email is not enough”.

But once those issues are solved Palantir can get into less important things like reinstating the draft and ethnically cleansing the nation

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

New Jersey has a lot of weird quirky laws but “do not walk alongside the interstate and state highways trying to get to Giants Stadium” is not one of them.

The entire selling point of AI is supposed to be low barrier of entry. The idea that anyone!! can Create and Code in minutes with no background or artistic training... but then it vaguely shifts to "well it's a skill issue, you gotta LEARN how to use it" when the output is consistently dogshit.

Matt Bors comic of a medieval peasant saying "We should improve society somewhat" and an internet pissant responding "Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent."

Congrats, you also got the water-guzzling psychosis machine to spit out some text that agrees with you. You've definitely added something here.

Is it cognitive surrender when you didn't use your brain very much to begin with?

I’ve had this in my head all day

“An iceberg? At this time of the year? In this part of the Atlantic? And we’re about to crash into it?”

The "irreversible damage" of minors getting puberty blockers and using pronouns, but delivering a whole ass child is Fine.

Me and my theater friends were the exact right people to lose our shit during "Project Hail Mary" when he was suddenly wearing a CATS shirt.

(vague spoiler) Why did they pack him *that* many stupid shirts?!?

Record breaking franchise and when I type the main (?) character's name into gif search, the first 50 results are just Monsters Inc. and the Tom Hanks plane movie.

I thought of the pilot.

The way they're just tuning him out and having Gravity Fun.

anyone attending the white house correspondents dinner is a fucking traitor

I don't understand why the userbase is doing this kind of handwringing about its own growth or lack thereof. I'm not a stockholder, I could give two shits about how popular this site is?? Ideally I'd be back on LJ and tumblr being Left Alone lol.

That's so grim.

This thread is so funny. 😄

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using, with no explanation.

"Well if she posted bikini pics herself, I wouldn't HAVE to ask grok to do it!" Air tight logic.

This is not a valuable substitute for cameras. This adds nothing and does active harm in a climate of AI disinformation.

J. D. Vance is... bell hooks' Wario?

Didn't expect @dahlialithwick.bsky.social putting vile SCOTUS deepfakes on my feed today.

I'd rather watch poorly synced clips of cartoon dogs acting out the audio than this garbage.
