the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Watching KPop Demon Hunters with my nieces for the first time and here are the reviews from a 6 and 8-year-old respectively of the Saja Boys.

“They skipped legged day.”

“They have too many muscles up top and not enough lower.”

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · Nov 10

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

I think we should completely rearrange society to be more college schedules where you do jobs like different classes.

Monday: Burger King cashier
Tuesday: CEO of Facebook
Wednesday: Roofer
Thursday: EMT
Friday: Off, of course we’re doing four day work weeks

Much respect to the team that made it because I get it but it’s good to know when something just isn’t for you.

I could handle four to five, maybe even six hours of this but I’m not spending more than a full working day on all that.

Tried getting the cup in Baby Steps, looked up that the average completion time is 9.5 hours and decided that was enough for me.

This happened to two of my friends at the NIH except they weren’t even fired; they were told they just couldn’t work while they kept getting paid. The emails saying they were finally going back to work came in while they were visiting us because they had nothing else to do.

Hades released during Covid.

Hades II released during the second Trump administration.

We’ve gotta stop Supergiant from making Hades III.

The worst thing about the rapture happening today is Trump will still be president.

I like that Disney’s PR disaster solution was just a little take backsies.

Siblings teasing each other-ass response.

There’s so many reasons to cancel Disney+ you can really just take your pick.
• BDS Movement
• Removing LGBTQ+ characters from shows
• Complying to fascism in advance by canceling Kimmel

Jeremy Littau @jeremylittau.com · 25d

1/ I tend to be skeptical of boycotts but 👀 this whole story about the internal and external pressure Disney is facing after suspending Kimmel.

I would compare the situation facing Disney to something like what Target has faced this year after ending its DEIA efforts.

Disney Didn't Expect What Happened After Jimmy Kimmel's Cancellation - & Is Scrambling To Fix It

Now it's scrambling.

Need to hear from Ezra Klein before I decide if this is good or bad.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 27d

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Air ‘Indefinitely’

The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.
