A ★★★★★ review of One Battle After Another (2025)

I will confess, besides Boogie Nights I’m not really a huge PTA fan, so I had some trepidation about a 3 hour Pynchon adaptation. But you shouldn’t. This movie rules at every goddamn level. Perfect ca...

It’s genuinely newsworthy that huge swathes of right wing media are being funded by a schizophrenic racist but this article is being maybe a little too coy about the hook here.

People should ask JD Vance if he agrees with this shit, tho

How do you make it to THIRTY TWO without making a friend or at least watching the film Swingers?

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.

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · 21h

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

I absolutely love informing criminal defendants about collateral immigration consequences of taking a plea vs going to trial in a world where DOJ regularly lies in filings and disobeys court orders

Without the context of understanding that they’re riffing on Call of Duty ads, the Zac Efron/Jimmy Butler Battlefield 6 spot reads as a All Quiet on the Western Front-style commentary on the random pointless violence of war.

Political correctness prevents reporters from pointing out that as there is no anti-Christ this statement is evidence of drug-induced psychosis but I am brave enough to say:

The epistemic bubble’s original coinage was over Republicans who thought Romney was a lock, right?

Blood in the water from high level Republicans getting the real Trump health updates imo

If you think voters are morons who only care about prices / the economy, the takeaway is that Dems should do as much damage to the economy as possible while Trump is in office because voters are too stupid to attribute the damage to Dems with Trump as POTUS

he blocked me, is he still TimeCube posting like the incomprehensible personality test score wall of texts to show that leftists are unhappy and mentally ill? The unpopularity of the ICE crackdowns may have tempered his enthusiasm for that
