Absolutely batshit you can watch on live TV a rotting whale eating, bear corpse vandalizing, brainworm eaten, anti-science sex pest who drove an ex wife to suicide & looks exactly like corrupted Leland Palmer from Twin Peaks & sounds like Megatron auditioning to be head of America’s healthcare.
It's ok to use chatbots for everyday monotony like writing your wedding vows because this frees you up to use your creative energy for what truly matters: making powerpoints for work meetings

RN: “Is this a slavery movie?”
Secretary: “That’s Tom Hanks, he doesn’t do slavery movies”
Nurse: “It’s kinda weird. It’s about a black man in prison with powers”
RN: “does it have slaves? It’s inappropriate”
Nurse: “No slaves; just an execution”
RN: “ok, I’ll leave it on.”
Newark congresswoman says she's pressing for info on an ICE raid in her district, saying it happened without a warrant + swept up citizens including a military vet.
When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”
I really felt that.

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them
I’ve seen a lot lately about the screenwriters outdoing themselves again. But honestly, if you were crafting a fictional treatment of the demise of American democracy, you would have tried to make the characters a lot more plausible.
Inauguration Day.
Imagine still believing that America is the land of the free when they’re doing this to a journalist at a press conference

A page from "Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews, edited byJonathan Cott. It shows an excerpt from a 1965 PLAYBOY interview by Nat Hentoff. It reads: PLAYBOY: Mistake or not, what made you decide to go the rock-'n'-roll route? DYLAN: Carelessness. I lost my one true love. I started drinking. The first thing I know, I'm in a card game. Then I'm in a crap game. I wake up in a pool hall. Then this big Mexican lady drags me off the table, takes me to Philadelphia. She leaves me alone in her house, and it burns down. I wind up in Phoenix. I get a job as a Chinaman. I start working in a dime store, and move in with a 13-year-old girl. Then this big Mexican lady from Philadelphia comes in and burns the house down. I go down to Dallas. I get a job as a "before" in a Charles Atlas "before and after" ad. I move in with a delivery boy who can cook fantastic chili and hot dogs. Then this 13-year-old girl from Phoenix comes and burns the house down. The delivery boy - he ain't so mild: He gives her the knife, and the next thing I know I'm in Omaha. It's so cold there, by this time I'm robbing my own bicycles and frying my own fish. I stumble onto some luck and get a job as a carburetor out at the hot-rod races every Thursday night. I move in with a high school teacher who also does a little plumbing on the side, who ain't much to look at, but who's built a special kind of refrigerator that can turn newspaper into lettuce. Everything's going good until that delivery boy shows up and tries to knife me. Needless to say, he burned the house down, and I hit the road. The first guy that picked me up asked me if I wanted to be a star. What could I say? PLAYBOY: And that's how you became a rock-'n'-roll singer? DYLAN: No, that's how I got tuberculosis."
Reading "Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews," edited by Jonathan Cott. So far, it's 80% Dylan disputing the premise of the questions. Every so often, a little magic like this slips through.
Red Note is genuinely a blast, the cross-cultural exchange going on is one of the most wholesome things I’ve seen in years
One of the richest men in the world went on Joe Rogan's podcast to complain that companies don't have enough "masculine energy" anymore, whatever that means.

This headline is just absolutely perfect, and the rest is a great read too. Glad to have discovered @jphillll.bsky.social
"One man has an unfathomable level of influence over how humans interact with one another, and that one man happens to have not a hint of morality or scruples of any kind."
The 13th Amendment allows for modern day SLAVE LABOR. They risking their lives for pennies.
"Vivir y disfrutar del momento" es un regalo del privilegio (o la ignorancia). Todo se derrumba al pensar en el estado actual y futuro del mundo. La felicidad pesa en estos tiempos.
El 2025 será un año de policrisis, pero con el peor gobierno local y federal posible en tĂ©rminos de capacidad, visiĂłn y filosofĂa para atenderlo.

Real Madrid Champions League #LaDecimoQuinta
Currently on vacation, woke up around 5am, and couldn’t go back to sleep. Thought: Might as well make breakfast, start the day early.
Turned on Real Madrid TV, and the Champions League Final was being replayed.
Perfection.
I don’t know if this is controversial, but a horror movie being a good movie is more important to me than if it’s scary.
it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories
But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project. "I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."
I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...
When your cat walks across your keyboard, changing the settings on something you can't figure out how to change back.
In case you’re interested in the weeds of how bad this is,
this is a redline version of Meta’s formerly Hateful SPEECH now Hateful CONDUCT rule.
