Journalist, sometimes. In Ukraine, living the air raid life.
It sure beats being the guy remembered for getting tasered by Ann Coulter and arm barred by Maxine Waters
Yes, this is what the actor in one of the most popular shows of all time, and director of some of the most popular movies of all time, will be most remembered for.

The fatal flaw of modern fantasy is writers decided to make the wizards and witches their POV characters instead of mysterious figures who did cool shit nobody understands. Once you cross that bridge, it's inevitable that the mechanism of magic must be explained.

NOTICE BARI WEISS! NOTICE HER! NOTICE SHE'S A REAL JOURNALIST WHO DESERVES THE EDITOR IN CHIEF POSITION DOING THINGS AN EDITOR IN CHIEF DOES LIKE BEING ON AIR TALENT! THAT SPEAKS TO HER EXPERIENCE! NOTICE IT! LIKE IT!
The funniest thing about the 30 posts the CBS News Twitter account made is that most of them have like... a couple hundred likes total.

I think the simple reality is you'll also see a (political) bloodbath with the true believers while the never trumpers try to come out of the woodwork and rehabilitate themselves
I do not think the right is remotely prepared for the scale of celebration that we’ll see When It Happens

"No competent doctors come to my illegal death match tournaments! We need our fighters there until they're completely dead, not just some broken arm shit!"

Genius.
"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"

I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

WSJ explains how FBI was able to solve Pipe Bomber case after so many years: an Agent wrote code to access T-Mobile data FBI HAD thought was corrupted.

Story confirms Cole is a Trump supporter and describes Agents are pissed bc Kash and Bongino are claiming credit.

Insulting the Muslim hero who saved lives and the Jewish victims by vandalizing unrelated, incidentally Muslim graves is topline "we're not racist we just hate terror" racism.

Get fucked
“Muslim graves at a Narellan cemetery have been vandalised with decapitated pig heads as Australian leaders plead for calm following the Bondi massacre on Sunday.

Footage uncovered on Monday shows graves at the cemetery in Narellan littered with butchered pig heads and body parts”
This is disgusting. How does it honour those who were murdered? "Footage uncovered on Monday shows graves at the cemetery in Narellan littered with butchered pig heads and body parts following the Bondi massacre." archive.is/C5mkU

If true, absolutely stupid:

1. Insane to do under infrastructure attack
2. Will be taken as evidence it could have happened whenever
3. Any result of a non-acceptable Russian candidate will be rejected

Even with temperamental incompetent baby like Trump you have to say no sometimes.

White genocide is when a neighbor has a weird name.

White genocide is when you hear a new language for the first time and don't understand it.

White genocide is when the girl who ghosted you, after you generously offered to breed her, starts posting Insta pics of her new favorite ethnic cuisine.
This guy is talking about some people who were not white moving to a city because a company located there hired them.

When you're talking about people who have moralized away genocides depending on circumstances, this is not non-euclidean, it's downright platonic.
There must be some non-Euclidean geometric term that may be applied to this
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

I was told the censorship-industrial complex was run by Democrats and Facebook counted as a government institution.
Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organizations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.

How dare democracies vote on things?
Hungarian PM Orban accused Brussels of ending EU rule of law by abolishing unanimity on frozen Russian assets, claiming it establishes a dictatorship to continue an unwinnable Ukraine war, vowing Hungary will restore lawful order.

It ends with her saying "I hope that they know that these words are touching real people -- real people who love this country."

Yeah, they know. That's what they derive pleasure from.

Being a theoretical physicist is overkill.

"Can you power the compute and then cool the power plant and the compute banks as well?" is a question you answer "yes" to if you're Musk or a middle-schooler who hasn't yet had it explained to them that space isn't cold because space isn't anything.
I’m but a simple country theoretical physicist, and I can say, in my professional capacity, “datacenters in space” is so colossally, monumentally stupid that it is difficult to know where to start with which laws of physics the idea is spitting in the face of the most.
“.. Skeptics believe the technical risks are being underestimated and say space-based data centers won’t be competitive on cost, especially if power and other constraints ease on the ground.”

President of Peace

Anyway I wonder when it's going to dawn on Maduro that Putin likely traded him to Trump.

In fact I wonder when Europe is going to realize that and how weak that reveals Russia's position to be.

Far as Musk's concerned the only African immigrant that's allowed to vote.

Or just meddle in German and British politics despite not being a citizen, unlike enfranchised Somali-Americans.

The sooner this dipshit rails too much ket and rolls his eyes back for the last time, the better.
WATCH: Elon Musk is upset that Somalian Americans in Minnesota get to vote.

You can tell European leaders were never kids who defiantly survived abuse.

There gets to be a point where threats of escalation and violence no longer matter.

You grit your teeth and understand there are no negotiations to make. You can no longer 'win'.

You just need to make them lose harder.
Still struggling to wrap my head around the fact that you can just murder people en masse, kidnap children and literally send them to north korea, bomb cities every night.

Yet, simply saying "peace" every now and then writes off like 70% of all of that.

Remember when people shit their pants that Michelle Obama was going to ban hamburgers on the 4th of July because she suggest people should maybe eat some vegetables?
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

It's like that kid in middle school who was a sports star or academic overachiever who just claimed his dad owned Nintendo it invented a spaceship or was a Thursday-night vampire, and no you can't meet him.

It's just profoundly fucking stupid.
This is one of those things that makes me so angry about this stuff. We are at an amazing level of technological progress and we can’t even actually appreciate because almost everything they claim it can do is a lie even though what it can do is amazing.
December 8, 2025 at 7:46 PM
Ah yes. Zelensky made Russia attack Ukraine and then forced them to turn down multiple cease fires to stay in power.

That's how this works.

Imagine being caught out so hard not able to handle your drugs that you have your company try to run soft interference by using said video to launch an autism charity.
“he wasn’t tripping balls, he’s just autistic” is frankly insulting spin

The issue here is Europe thinking that riding out the next three years and hoping the next administration undoes the damage is laughable.

Europe needs to grow a backbone and cut ties with America. Forge new ones with Japan, S Korea, Taiwan, Australia and NZ replacing America in a new NATO-like.
Prime Minister of Poland. 🇵🇱
