In today's news, everything is bad and expected to get worse. Stay tuned for more.

What if we took this timeline and moved it somewhere else

The Untold Reality of Political Violence YouTube video by DarkMatter2525

Idk how many of you like long-form, political content, but this guy is pretty solid

And the story I watched on screen were two different things. I kept hearing about how Walter White was some badass, but he mostly just cries, whines, and acts pathetic whenever anything doesn't go his way. Plus, he's a terrible liar. My wife would've sussed the truth from him on day 1, no doubt.

Unpopular Opinion: Breaking Bad is crazy overrated. Maybe it's because I watched it years after it came out so I absorbed too much of it from cultural context (for example, the way people talked about Skyler White, I thought she'd be straight up villainous) that the story represented by others

The training of LLMs on pirated, copyrighted material proves one thing to me: in our society, if you steal from one person, you're a thief; but if you steal from billions, you're a billionaire.

Nothing wrong with being a casual viewer, that's all I am too. My wife is more anime obsessed. She's both the devil and angel on my shoulders, and they're both recommending too much anime for a single human to watch in a lifetime

On that note, I started re-reading LOTR a few months ago and was shocked at how confident the story was in itself to take its time. It didn't demand your attention like modern storytelling. It was content to tell the story it wanted to tell the way it wanted to tell it. Sadly, it would be DOA today.

It's so cozy and warm, and so many of the characters are like chicken soup for the soul. I can't wait for season 2! I've been trying to find other shows with a vibe like this, do you have any recommendations?

Idk why but this feels so on brand for Ultron that it makes me chuckle every time I see it

They're so focused on you because they're afraid of you. Keep up the good work! I don’t live in Texas, but I support you from over here in AZ.

that's the main thing you connect to in a story, and that's okay. Not every story has to be life changing, or have some deep wisdom to impart, or even be all that memorable, to be an enjoyable experience. I don't know, man. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Like what media you like unapologetically.

films like Spiderman 3, The Rise of Skywalker, or Man of Steel? I honestly think all 3 are flawed but overall good movies, and i could talk about why, but ultimately I'm realizing I don't have to justify liking a piece of media or disliking it. The vibes of a story are super important, and sometimes

That they're imperfect or highly flawed. My favorite Star Wars movie from the prequels is The Phantom Menace. Is it a good movie? Who cares, I enjoy the hell out of it. Spiderman 3 is my favorite from the Raimi trilogy. On that same note, it's also okay to like things for no reason. Why do I enjoy

It is okay to like things that aren't good, and it's okay to dislike things that aren't bad. We try to justify our likes/dislikes (I must have good taste, so everything I like is good and things I dont like is bad) so our taste is 'correct.' I think it's okay to like things while acknowledging

becoming a parody of John Wick style action heroes).

Finally getting back into Anime and I'm really enjoying the more low key, slice of life stories much more than the big epic dramas. Apothecary Diaries and Frieren are so awesome, and I'm getting into Sakamoto Days too (though that one seems to have left its slice of life elements behind in favor of

Macklemore is alright, but listening to his music, sometimes I wish he was a little Mackleless

@damiengwalter.com I watched your video on Modernity and whether Science Fiction can tell a better story, and I have some thoughts I would love to share if you have the time, from the perspective of a Science fiction writer still trying to make a name for themselves.

Andor Season 3: Re-Andor

Andor Season 2 was pretty good, but i am disappointed there was no Glup Shitto cameo.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a bad person. Not morally, like I'm bad at being a person.

Everything is marketing speak now and it drives me crazy. I'm not a brand, I'm a person.

Our culture is eating itself. Hence the plethora of reboots, remakes, retellings, and sequels. Not sure how to break the death spiral.

There are two political parties in America: The Capitalist Party (D) and the Hyper-Capitalist Party (R). Currently, the Hyper-Capitalist Party is mad that the Capitalist Party isn't Capitalist enough.

Part of my personal growth is believing myself and my opinions matter. So I'm gonna try to express myself more online and project what I think more. So if you suddenly see a lot of my stuff that's why

I kinda want to move to another country. The US of A has been going downhill for a long time but Trump and his cronies have accelerated the downfall with their anti-humanist policies
