Honestly, the headline "Neo-Hitler Demands Peace Prize Or Else" actually feels too realistic right now.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Did ... did the Trump Administration get this whole thing about prosecuting people for mortgage fraud from The Wire?

They did, didn't they. Because the show called it "the headshot."

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

When it comes to A.I., all of its ideal use cases are utterly moot until the underlying issues are first resolved.

The dangers is presents must first be tackled with unrestrained gusto and diligence. The power usage, the misinformation, the incentivization of dismantling industries.

A lesson I had to learn in the last couple years is that as long as the tech industry has thrown all its money behind something then laws like copyright don’t matter.

Looking at the world today, it feels like our species is devolving into one with the worst traits of a unrestrained sixteen-year-old boy driven by competing with his mates to see who can be gleefully cruelest.

I am sick at heart.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

Antifa is not an organization. And the fact that this administration can just pretend that it is and then target people and claim they are part of it is both stupid and terrifying.

Also, just proves all the more that the people in this administration are the fascists.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I really don't think this Pikmin short is anything more than just an animated short by Nintendo Pictures. I don't get any vibe there's a tease for a game or bigger announcement.

And animation isn't "pointless" because it isn't trying to sell you a specific product.

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

If you think a game about going after the KKK would be controversial due to the current political climate, it's a good sign you should make a game about going after the KKK.
