The biggest crime in this space is how often wine moms get credit for whiskey women despite them being polar opposites (40 to 50 somethings and 30 to 40 somethings). But I guess some people dont respect alcoholic women like me

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

Two announcers, Jason Garrett and Dan Hicks, stand in front of a sign that reads "Big Turd" thanks to how they are blocking it

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

The No Kings crowd here in Cleveland is so large, they had to shut down the street.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Most places just order sysco fries so unless theyre made in house (disappointing half the time tbqh) and the best fry they make are the copycat psoriasis fry, but everyone just goes for the cheap regular or thick cut fries that taste like canola oil

Sometimes theres too much and their non spicy chicken is imo barely above other fast food chicken. But yeah, the waffle fries are probably a top 5 fast food fry

All anyone needs to do to take down chick fil a is go light on the breading instead of making every non-nugget fast food product 60% sysco breading. That and buttered buns is all they got going

Had to go to a mall for the first time in I don’t know how long. The fact that there’s a long line at the food court Chick-fil-A and no one at the Popeye’s is everything that’s wrong with America.

Mall food court. No line at the Popeyes. A long line at the Chick Fil A.

People born on October 9th have good and sincere opinions on art. It happens a lot, actually.

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Its the first like... narrative video game id call "20th century art" besides the early formal gameplay things. A genuine landmark of tone blending, collage and this aesthetic i love but doesn't have a name of psychedelic americana

earthbound is one of those overplayed, overhyped and oversaturated classics that you play and realise it's actually underrated

RaisonDetriment @raisondetriment.bsky.social · 4d

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

My partner and I are rewatching Dead End Paranormal Park, funny considering the recent Nazi backlash about it, and its a smarter show than I first gave it credit for even if its not entirely my vibe
