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.

Every demographic wants places to hang out IRL and their own culture to discuss there. We had this once and we can have it again.

Dollars to donuts those edgelords have never organized an actual protest consisting of more than like five edgelord friends

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

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.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

It’s important to understand that the demonization of ‘Antifa’ isn’t just about kneecapping the enemies of MAGA. It’s about creating an opportunity to bring down the law-enforcement apparatus on anyone who dares dissent.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

My 80 year old mother (a lifelong registered Republican until 2018 and, by god, is not one for protesting) is making her voice heard on our small-town New England town green.

Picture of my mom holding a sign saying if some of us are unsafe none of us are SOLIDARITY. My stepdad holding a a sign titled Slashing ICE. And my mother does not look even close to 80.

We have the timidity of countless corporate and university GCs to thank for the fact DEI is treated as though it were illegal.

lol gentle reminder that DEI is not illegal. Supporting marginalized groups is not illegal. Anyone reneging on support is making a CHOICE to do so.

A majority of people here have peeled off, some still watching the lot and the cement barricades have now been moved to entirely block crosswalk across it.

We're headed out.

Quick update on what we just saw here—*before curfew*, ISP troopers, Broadview PD and CCSO deputies began menacing demonstrators outside the ICE facility. Several arrests.

Pepper ball guns at the ready, a bit of a standoff going with remaining protesters. All people are doing is playing music.

More violent arrests for seemingly no reason. Seeing at least two, sorry don't have exact total.

The crowd here has kept moving backward/everyone is following orders. This is absurd.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.
