“He ripped off Satoshi Kon for years” is such a perfect dipshit anime fan take given that Satoshi didn’t even write Perfect Blue

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

I liked “but I suppose… the codex is open… to interpretation” better when Geoffrey Rush said it in half the time

We should lie to people about what we’re doing and why. They’re really upset and not very well informed about the topic, so they’ll be particularly vulnerable I mean receptive.
maybe an unpopular position on this website but i think the moderate dem focus on ICE training can be, with political pressure, the pathway to more fundamental reforms. rhetorically it is not too hard to move from “more training” to “turns out they’re untrainable and we have to start all over.”

Republicans have done this maneuver successfully with multiple aspects of government but the keystone of that political strategy is that they are manipulative liars
okay since it appears i have to spell this out even more: “training” — a thing that sounds good to sensible moderate voters, who exist and are uncomfortable with sudden change — can, if we make it, be a stalking horse for “moves that effective neuter the agency”

I like Doctorow well enough, but this is what happens when you coin a cutesy neologism for an existing idea in Marxist analysis
Everyone, please, I know of “enshittification”. Which is fine not to assume. But every single gotdamn time it’s 5000 of you and I’m so old and tired.

“You should use AI for extra research” really says it all doesn’t it
Interesting! According to his pinned comment on the now unlisted video, he’s placing the blame on his scriptwriter. However if you look at the job listing he put up looking for scriptwriters, he apparently provides them with a “5000 word research doc” and an intro written by him. Hm! Weird!

“Formerly Warren”
Politics is not fan culture—none of these people are your friends. There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
We can be grateful that MTG is against Trump without liking her or thinking of her as a long-term ally. The anti-Trump coalition must be huge.

TikTok is removing clips of the leaked 60 Minutes segment.
The Ellison family (which acquired Paramount — CBS’s parent company — and The Free Press, making Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS) is set to co-own TikTok through a Trump-backed deal.

I question how useful that habit can be with strangers in any way (and it’s twice as grating), but it is kind of just the zoomer version of recommending a book about a contentious topic. It contains the arguments yes, but also a lot of detail to support them
A personal note about this, by the way: I will never have anything but the deepest contempt for people who respond to a discussion of a film by linking a youtube video about why it's bad, and The Last Jedi brings those people out in fucking droves. Have your own thoughts! Brew your own invective!
And I remember watching that shift happen in real time! For a good long while, you basically could not talk about the film publicly (online or IRL at a party) without someone coming up and regurgitating a youtube video at you about how you were wrong, and it sucked, and had Ruined Star Wars

It’s surprising how much the “boo boo piracy is evil” crowd operates off of mealy mouthed dishonesty. Two dozen weirdos accused me of “just wanting to steal” yesterday and today I’m rallying my cousins to patronize a socialist bookstore which is closing so the owner doesn’t end up in debt
