It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

tim robinson and zack kanin have both done a splendid job of mining awkward american masculinity for comedy, and now they're starting to play it darker and darker until I think they inevitably start breaching into outright horror in the not too distant future

an I Think You Should Leave sketch is Tim Robinson losing his mind over three minutes. the Chair Company and Friendship are both him losing his mind over a much longer runtime and it really makes your skin crawl.

One of the things the chair company really nails is that a 40 something in the process of going insane would be leaving comments on youtube videos of sappy oldies songs.

Journalists, please ask more questions about how this tech could ever in a million years make a profit?

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

You are out of your mind if you think young republicans in the early aughts weren’t bigots. They were saying the n-word all the time, too, they just didn’t have group chats to get leaked.

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 3h

My parents' generation was super racist, but they took pains to hide it from us. So a lot of young conservatives in the 90s and early aughts were earnest small government and/or evangelical types.

As I said, the overt racists and radicals had to form their own orgs.

This reminds me of quarterly training when they would force soldiers to watch a bunch of slide shows, fall asleep, and then give us the answers to the test we'd have to take afterwards. Something that Hegseth himself absolutely did when he was in.

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 12h

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

the current government is what zionism has always been, to the Palestinians that they've driven from their lands from day one, to the Holocaust survivors that they called weak-willed diaspora, to the Jews who've seen these people for filth from the start.

they might try to whitewash their support by distancing themselves from the extremists who run Israel's government (and a lot of people have dodged due scrutiny by saying that it's all Netanyahu/Smotrich/Ben-Gvir's fault) but really, those extremists are just the inevitable end product of zionism.

liberal zionists are in a total state of denial that they support a fascist project in the end because it shatters their worldview whenever people that are smarter than them like Coates compare it to past fascist projects like Jim Crow and apartheid South Africa

Ta Nehisi Coates went to a country that imposed a military dictatorship onto five million people on the arbitrary basis of race and came away thinking that that's bad and some people are still angry with him because of that
