Remember this image every time someone tells you that protesters are "hurting their cause."

Those people are the red bars. In 40 years, we'll look back at them the same way.

I thought this was viral marketing for a new Resident Evil, but no it's a real third-party nootropics wholesaler running with the Umbrella branding.

You notice all the directors/etc saying they're fine with AI are saying exactly the same things about it? Sometimes word for word.

Yeah. Those are talking points.

in his defense, he might not know what it is. He might think it’s an actual football inside of the case that he has to throw if he wants to do nukes.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Bible quote, Leviticus 19:33-35: "Do not mistreat foreigners living in your country, but treat them just as you treat your own citizens. Love oreigners as you love yourselves, because you were foreigners one time in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."

Have you watched our #iHunt short film? You should go vote for it. I'm about this close to talking my co-producer @szmatheson.bsky.social to go to Metatopia with me so we can have film brainstorming sessions and play House of the Dead 3.

Oh sure if it’s a fully owned community that makes more sense. I don’t really see that in my circles. I kinda only see blow over.

I have never wanted to be able to wish something into reality more than I am wishing, right now, Cats: The Royal Rumble into existence.

Danielle Radford @danielleradford.bsky.social · 13h

I unironically think this is the best way to stage Cats. It the only way that Cats makes any sense

Okay this sounds great and I agree but what we're GOING to get is "throw trans people under the bus, medical expenses keep going up, food keeps going up, but if you start a tech startup in a black neighborhood and it stays profitable for five years you will be eligible for a 2.5% tax rebate."

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.
