BEN SHAPIRO: "There. Is. No. Cool. Ranch. It's all branding. The left insists on propping up these false realities. This isn't even a fair question to ask."

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Funniest detail to me re: Thom Yorke's weird relationship to Israel is that it's the first place Creep really took off so Israel kinda launched Radiohead's career. Israeli music fans could not get enough of a song that asks "what the hell am I doing here" and answers with "I don't belong here."

You just KNOW that Dedra forced the ISB tactical team to delay arresting Luthen so she could have the glory of making the arrest. The Imperials lost Axis because of her. Keep failing upwards facist barbie!

The irony of DOGE/Trump is that the only way that America engaging in sustained deficit spending would become a problem is if someone intentionally tanked the American economy and place in the global order, and the only people dumb enough to do that are currently in power and doing it
never seen someone sound so fundamentally insane as this person, who has elon's ear on layoffs and cuts

Today's the big day! "The Day The Earth Blew Up" is finally out in theaters in the US & Canada! I hope you all go see the film and appreciate all the hard work each and every one put into this little film that could! It's rare to see a film like this make it on the big screen, so go and support it!

@madelineashby.bsky.social's Glass Houses is a glorious combination of if Elon Musk tried to win at therapy and a Hitchcockian start-up drama. It has some of the best background world building I've read from a 5 mins in the future book I've read. Recommend for mystery fans and 'The Dropout' fans!

I just read @nghivo.bsky.social's The City in Glass and it's such a unique story on grief, memory, and history. Azril jumps off the page thanks to Nghi's economical but hard-hitting character descriptions. It reminded me of Disco Elysium in the best possible ways! A must read!

I finished @aptshadow.bsky.social's Alien Clay a few days ago and it's an early contender for one of my favourite books of the year. If you enjoy shows like Scavenger's Reign mixed with Andor's Narkina 5 arc, it's the book for you!

For no particular reason I'm thinking about Maurice Sendak's plan to suicide-bomb George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, because who would suspect beloved children's writer Maurice Sendak?

It’s fucked up that some of you are starting accounts on that Chinese social media place. For one, that website might steal your information. For another, it might be owned by a terrible person trying to undermine American democracy. For a third thing, the owner might keep lying about going to mars.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Throughout 2024, I have thoroughly enjoyed @aptshadow.bsky.social's Tyrant Philosophers series! City of Last Chances reads like a chimerical combi of Casablanca, the Wire, and Les Mis and House of Open Wounds reads like your favorite episode of MASH if it was written by Tolkien and Joseph Heller!
