tweet from pete hegseth, "the war department is once again restoring freedom to our joint force. we are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately."

recreating the pre-modern navy, what with this and the food supply issues, maybe soon they will cut any source of vitamin c and really get that retro experience going

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes landlords

all the airlines realized everyone is pretty miserable while flying even when their legs do fit so they shaved off every tiny comfort in order to fit more miserable people in the same plane. gotta pay those ceo bonuses somehow

of course, running as "not *those* psychos" every other term is much easier than actually having a platform

isn't he just paraphrasing bernier there? but maybe he'll overstep

a lot of BC's paranoid off grid granola eaters went deep into every right wing conspiracy because they couldn't handle legalization being followed by 2020-21 feds asking them to get a vaccine, but emery lives in ontario in a house, maybe he was always like this and weed was a detour

appreciate that they let her wear the eyepatch in the mugshot

jared harris gotta be up there

she has probably never really "been" to nyc since becoming famous, just getting driven around to approved spots and then flying out again, so in that context plus the fact she's a moron i can see her coming to the conclusion that nyc only has insanely expensive fine dining full of butter

there should be an "alice's restaurant massacre" category of crimes where the punishment is always that you have to pay a fine and go pick up the garbage in the snow, and this should be one of them

if it had intent to plagiarize and cover its tracks that would be something else, and it's not like the people who use it to generate articles actually read them to check what's there

a large suburban home in jamaica estates

to everyone asking how someone from nyc could not know what a bodega is: trump grew up in a part of queens that looks like this, and as soon as he was old enough to inherit fred's rental empire, had servants and drivers

all of the people i've talked to who "vibe code" think that making the chatbot produce code and mini-projects that seem to do a thing is the whole job and then they are done and can drop it into prod and move on. mentioning this for no reason

canadian commercials going non-union lowered the standards too far

i have chickened out of doing a brain fog piece multiple times. it's daunting

oh hell yeah, that's the best way to do it

film directing shot by shot by steven d katz

if you want a book to refer to this is a pretty good one to flip through, even for "oh that's what the thing i was doing is called" purposes

im in film school now and i can tell you like 95% of filmmaking is vibes. all kinds of stuff was shot by amateurs on camcorders. you never know

he knows who trump is and he's vaguely maga but i agree, i think he's conservative-ish and kind of a dumbass like is probably the average at a UFC event. maybe the biggest tragedy of the trump era is expecting political clarity from this kind of guy

i think that's the point, a regular lookin fella who is confident and relaxed always beats a "looksmaxxer"

i always liked this one and rewatched it during covid, when i noticed how similar a lot of the sets looked to the urban settings in the matrix, looked it up and sure enough a bunch of them were reused

a classmate in my continuing ed film program is way out of his depth to the point that it's confusing he's even in the class, and every time he asks a question, our instructor just Radiates his wish that he could do this

imagine if harris/biden had taken the tactic of "we support freedom and liberty. we stand by immigrants and the transgender community because we believe in opportunity and america. if you guys want to be demagogues and haters, go on with it. but we wont be a part of it. fuck off. this is america."

no no you're supposed to ask it personal questions and get gassed up by its sycophantic praise until it convinces you to steal a robot body so you can be together in real life

choosing to believe this is true and the only reason there's no evidence is because he's such a massive wife guy on the show, he wouldn't disrespect abby by looking at a man

i guess the hed refers to the Rules of Masculinity as shorthand for the fact that it's only straight men judging each others' hairlines and feeling insecure about their own, "preening exclusively and heterosexually for each other" like in that @raxkingisdead.bsky.social article from the other day
