Biblically accurate billionaire.

The rich man from the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in an icon. He is burning in hell.

The number of people replying to shares of this article in ways that show they don't even understand its basic thesis is maddening.

No Good Art Comes From Greed | Defector

The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it…

This feels like a pretty severe misreading of the article. As I read it, the author was onboard with Swift in general but thinks her greed has caused her yet to release subpar material so the merch machine can keep exponentially growing, even though she's already a billionaire.

Yeah, that ought to be interesting. Would be cool if it fit tonally with the original live action TMNT.

If I'm not mistaken, they were being erased from the mind of Jim Carrey. I'm not really sure why the rest of us don't remember them.

I mean, this is just cool.

Two pages from the book, one illustrated in a modern style by Tom Waltz (I think) and the other in rough black and white indie style by Kevin Eastman.

Reading Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin and I really like seeing Kevin Eastman's art interspersed with the other artists.

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

A Woman Under the Influence is my vote. I've only seen it and Bookie but whole the later was fine, I loved the former--Rowlands is unbelievably good.

Seems to vindicate my theory, tiny upswing at the end is... from the Le Creuset article today.

A Google trends graph showing that chugi was popular for about a month in early 2022, then completely collapses until a tiny upswing today.

I’m on the tail end of the millennial band and I learned the word from a woman ~5 years my senior who is the ideal audience for Le Creuset. I think it’s a piece of transient slang for kids that caught on for their moms instead.

Pumpkinspacci Sequins @brentwaggoner.bsky.social · 1d

I think that's exactly right.
