Jared Leto *is* AI: a tacky thing corporations keep forcing on consumers by putting him in everything even though he’s unprofitable and nobody likes it

The only reason this isn’t considered trafficking via fraud is because crime is something poor people do

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

One of the many things I wish I had been wrong about is saying that back in the nineties, our leaders looked at climate change and said: We can’t do shit about this without measures we find unacceptable, so future generations will just have to deal with it via machine guns, fences and attack dogs.

Given that I'd summarize Peterson's whole deal as "I am a 60 year-old man who has based my entire personality around being mad at Mommy for yelling at me to clean my room when I was eleven," the mold thing is entirely unsurprising.

Never do this to someone reaching out. They probably aren't even expecting you to have a magic wand, they just need an outlet and for some putting stuff out online is sadly all we have.

Help where you can but never blast someone else with depression. It's not a fucking contest.

I remember in the immediate aftermath of the 2019 GE making a post on my Twitter (which was genuinely one of my few outlets) that I was feeling incredibly low, verging on suicidal.

Someone in Remain snapped at me to shut up, that everyone was feeling low and I shouldn't expect them to carry me.

A pedophile's private army is kidnapping your children

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

It truly is a testament to the talent of the rest of the cast and crew that Leto wasn't able to kill Blade Runner.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

Happy to see Jakks putting out Metroid-themed sets for Walmart Collector Con but I'd be happier if there was a single new mold among them. Give us the Dread armors already!

I just said this a few months ago, but it really is wild how little programming there is angled at the teen crowd. Even if it was superficial, there were entire networks and magazines dedicated to teens and counterculture, and that all just evaporated in 15 years.

C. Robert Cargill @crobertcargill.bsky.social · 22h

There's so little for teens at the box office that Netflix released a movie that had been streaming for two months already and it still made $18M in just one weekend. KPOP DEMON HUNTERS is a great example of doing it right in 2025.

Massive escalation at the Portland ICE facility. Worst I’ve ever seen. More pepper balls than I can count. Teargas in the middle of crowd. Violent arrests. Some type of either noise or rubber bullet shotgun fired into the air then later aimed at protesters chests/heads at near point blank range.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

I actually get why, given the current US climate, Ubisoft was not ready to pull the trigger on a Civil War era Assassins Creed game.

But speaking personally I would preorder the deluxe edition of a game that let me knife Klansmen and had a "burn your way to the sea" mini game.

Remember that if the Democrats take power again, they will go into great detail telling you why they can't do things.

You will tell them that Trump did those things, and they will say he broke the law.

You will then ask why he hasn't been arrested, and they will be very quiet.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Apropos of nothing, just been reminded of this and now it hurts to breathe. You're welcome.
#StarTrek #TNG #STTNG #Science

Six panels, in the first a shuttlecraft from Star Trek Next generation is *awfully close* to a star of some kind. Let's call it an F-type, it'll either get the Trekkers nodding in approval or absolutely enraged. But then what doesn't.

Second panel, Beverley Crusher is at the controls of the shuttle, saying "Computer, notify me if external temperature gets too hot"

Third panel, computer text goes " *BEEP BEEP* PLEASE DEFINE "HOT" "

Fourth panel, Beverley Crusher responds "Let's say, 1.9 million Kelvins."

Fifth panel, titled Later: Picard is stood at his replicator, saying "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
The computer responds, as it always does, "*BEEP BEEP*"

Sixth panel, SCREENSHOT FROM TERMINATOR TWO OF PEOPLE BLOWN AWAY BY NUCLEAR BLAST. IT'S JUST A SKELETON AND FLAMES, UNBELIEVABLE HEAT, BURNING, INCANDESCENCE, EVERYTHING IS YELLOW AND ORANGE AND BURNING AND PICARD'S FAVOURITE MUG IS NOW PLASMA. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT ON HIS MIND RIGHT NOW, AS HIS BRAIN IS NOW AEROSOL FORM, AT BEST.
It's all a bit toasty, basically.
