God damn this is amazing. I particularly appreciate how they didn't merely choose a movie where the character's race is part of the story, they made clear with their substitutions the whole idea is racial.

Looking forward to a customized GLORY (1989) where Denzel Washington is replaced by Kid Rock.

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

there's just no longer any pretense whatsoever that there's a difference between "can do this" and "should do this"

if he's allowed to do it - which includes cases where he isn't allowed to do it but nobody can stop him from doing it anyway - it is, ipso facto, fine for him to do

historically the pardon power has in fact been used for a bunch of corrupt shit, which is why I am not a big fan

the difference is timing and scale - presidents would save this shit for the last week before they left office

now? sure, yeah, billion dollar bribes for pardons on a random Thursday

It already cost us the East Wing of the White House...which will have to be replaced when Trump is gone....because that gold monstrosity is coming down first chance we get.

We will not let that crap stand.

We're replacing the Rose Garden too.

I am going to listen to this podcast, but I will say that part of what's happened as this divide has grown is that more people have left rural areas, which are either shrinking or becoming part of MSA's, and so the character of who is left in rural places has changed as they've watched people leave

People keep saying it's privately funded. That's misleading. "Privately funded" is when foundations and wealthy individuals pay for it.

At least half a dozen of these donors are major federal contractors dependent on U.S. taxpayers. This is money laundering.
