Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

Trump I had a lot more guardrails on Trump's behavior than Trump II does, and one way that's manifesting is that there's nobody to pull him out of the spite spirals he gets into where he becomes obsessed with getting revenge on the people who laugh at him, which leads to them laughing at him more

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

seeing a lot of people get Big Mad at this but Variety's kinda setting him up here. Mann is not talking about generative AI but aging & de-aging tech/machine learning, which a lot of filmmakers have already used, e.g. Fincher and Scorsese

Michael Mann Says He Might Experiment With AI in ‘Heat 2’: ‘Aging and De-Aging May Be Very Important’

Michael Mann said 'Heat 2' will probably tap into AI for de-aging and will be theatrically released.

I would never have clocked this as being a good idea but it has turned out to be an extremely effective strategy. It's hippie shit but it is genuinely disarming

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that

Will anything happen after today's protests? Prob not. But maybe some of these millions of people will perk up the next time their local socialist org is running an event or collecting donations to distribute

Maybe they recognize that as continuation of how they felt today

many conversations I have had with complete normie libs, the kind who have a tote bag from donating to NPR and shop at Whole Foods, involve the kind of rhetoric that under no circumstances should be put on the internet

people are very mad

look i was recently talking to a septuagenarian life long dem (who shall remain nameless) and generic lib, and she was like “i just think there should be firing squads and they should sell tickets.”

CHOTINER: So you're attending a No Kings protest today.

ME: That's right.

CHOTINER: But according to Steam, you've played over 450 hours of Crusader Kings 3.

ME: Okay, well- Now hold on. That's sort of unfair.

CHOTINER: Oh?

ME: Sometimes I play as a duke or a count.

CHOTINER: I see.

this shit is so embarrassing. the government used to have guys who like, built bridges. now it’s just a gaggle of bleary-eyed cave children jacking themselves off to porno deepfakes of AOC while posting “based meme edits” of reaper drone strikes on venezuelan children. quit gooning and fix a pothole

vance has got to be the most cucked vp of all time. absolutely no power, completely subservient to a sundowning blowhard and an unelected nazi sleaze, so bored of waiting around for grandpa to give him something to do that he’s organizing forum raids like goons dropping in on habbo hotel

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.

Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.
