Guillermo spared no effort in making this one for the Girlies. Or at least, the Tumblr Girlies. I mean, it's THIRSTY.

shamlessly dropping my review:

TIFF 50: "Mārama" & "Frankenstein". The Gothic Is for The Colonized
Europeans might've made it, but the Global South plays it better.

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

Look, it's a team effort. But between 1994 and 2024, I didn't live in Toronto. And what happens after exactly 6 months and a couple weeks of me living in Toronto? That's right, the Blue Jays go to the World Series. #CorrelationISCausation.

Stealing paintings from a museum? Also absolutely an art form if done correctly. It requires integration of multiple skills, creativity and, funnily enough, proficiency in tech and IT stuff to hack sensors and alarm devices.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

Because he's not a person, he is a bot, a simulacrum, a very limited non-artificial barely-intelligence whose sole function is to rubber stamp the Executive's decisions.

You know how an entire country can feel like the middle child? When the one next door gets $40 Billion dollar to plug the leaking plugs on holes by toxic, abusive daddy, meanwhile, if we wanted measly $2 Billion for a train line that everybody wants and pays for itself...

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

Just as important: Tightening the fine print so that any exceptions for "work cars" apply to actual work cars: Be registered to an actual company, have decals and markings like any plumber's van, modifications for work use. Anything that would dissuade Range Rover driver's from getting clever.

Why is there no one yelling and heckling these fucks in the background? I know people in the US mistake silence for politeness and politeness for civics, but these things can't be allowed to be said without a "FUCK YOU LIAR" as punctuation.

Mock them, humiliate them. If you were unlucky enough to meet or even date one of these failures,.expose every single embarassing secret about them via the platform of your choice.

More seriously, the most repugnant thing about US culture is that they seem to confuse morality, civic sense and right with The Law, even though their very system of laws is a bunch of loopholes written around whatever some old white men felt like at the moment.

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

Early, early, early 90s aesthetic has this thing that it looks like it became dated even at its very own time, but also, it's awesome. Not what one usually associates with camp, but perhaps as campy as camp can camp.

“Can you explain this gap in your resume?”

Me thinking quickly on my feet to explain the period when I worked for ICE: “I was selling drugs… ,uh, to children.”
aricohn.com Ari Cohn @aricohn.com · 13d
Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

But of course! Americans of Italian descent count as white now, at least since the 1990s. Plus, they're, you know... European. Not the optimal Europeans, but those distinctions are left for later...

The thing about this that's worth recalling is that it *wouldn't* even offend most Americans: just the group of reactionary grifters who make money by being professionally offended online.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
