I never workshop any of my dumb posts. That’s the Elliot Blake™️ social media guarantee.
i'm generally pretty live and let live about social media as long as no one is actively being harmed, but i am never gonna be able to take "collectively workshopped and artisanally-crafted shitposting for cloutmaxing purposes" seriously, i'm sorry
This just seems like the right thing to keep pinned to my profile.

Everyone in Puerto Rico (an American territory with American citizens) and the entire Spanish-speaking world understood what Bad Bunny was saying, and even if the words were unfamiliar, you could still get the gist of it buy watching the visuals. Trump and conservatives are absurdly fragile.

President Babyman Pieceofshit has crapped his pants again. Bad Bunny’s show absolutely represented success, creativity, and excellence, but he can’t see that because in his mind, those things are exclusively represented by a case of moldy Cheetos stuffed into a Brioni suit.

That was a hell of a halftime show. I admit I don’t know Bad Bunny’s music all that well, but it felt like we got to see an artist working at the height of his powers there. Great, meaningful stuff.

What a great analogy. I’m going to use this next time some asks me why I’m against generative AI (y’know, besides the theft and environmental degradation).
people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Fuck you, Don. You’re a loser for being so thin-skinned you can’t handle any criticism. Petulant little clown.
The president is now attacking a US Olympian as a “Loser” and misrepresenting his words for his mild unspecified criticisms about things going on in the US right now.

Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

I don’t get how you can run a news organization that has some responsibility to cover nearby events and not have a single photographer on staff.
What will the Post do if, say, there’s a terror attack at the Mall? Pull screengrabs from social media? And if so, who verifies those?

Jeff Bezos laid off all of the photographers at The Washington Post. Any good reporter will tell you that working closely with a photographer always, always, always makes the story better. When I was at the Post, I got to work with Carol Guzy and Dana Smith, and I’ll always be grateful.

Everyone involved with this, everyone who signed off on allowing this, straight on up to the top, meaning Homan, Noem, Miller, and Trump, needs to be prosecuted and jailed.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Absolutely right. Democrats backed a national ban on gerrymandering while Republicans pushed their advantage in key states. This evens things up but also draws us closer to real reform.
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

He never apologizes for anything he does. He’s incapable. He might blame someone else, but he’ll never take responsibility for anything bad, ever. And in this case, I’m sure he doesn’t regret it. He hates the Obamas and he’d do it again.
BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.
Q: "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"
Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."
He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

It wasn’t an accident, the racist president thought it was funny and posted it because he hates the Obamas almost as much as he loves money.
