How many more bombs does Jared Leto have to make before he goes away, or is this a situation like The Rock where they'll keep trying to make a franchise for him?

I know it's a real tragedy with real people involved, but they were reporting on the explosion at the explosives factory saying authorities were investigating the cause, and I might have a vague idea of what might have happened.

You don't really see many videos on here and when you do it's by people being duped by AI videos.

TikTok is supposed to be about Chinese men buying rocks in the hopes they contain jade.

TikTok is about 80% AI now. There's no incentive to create anything. No one is getting anything out of this either aside from views.

Black Ops 7 briefly tried saying they wouldn't be doing crazy skins like in Black Ops 6, but it's launching with two robots.

In Battlefield 6 (and every Battlefield) you're either immediately killed while spawning on your squad or you won't see an enemy for 20 minutes while holding an objective. I thought I'd play one quick match before heading out and it took like 40 minutes for a round.

If I was one of Trump's handlers feeding him AI slop I would try and convince him the US was being attacked by Doctor Doom all the time. Then I would stand behind him and nod as he talks about how Doom stole the Baxter Building, and how Doctor Strange was a much better Sorcerer Supreme.

It's like if he was in the Statue of Liberty scene in Planet of the Apes he started screaming about the M&M's store in Times Square being gone.

It's impossible to know what he's talking about, or what he's been shown, but in his reality Portland is constantly being burnt down like a post-apocalyptic hellscape and the main thing he's concerned about is fictitious boarded-up stores.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I'd really appreciate if writers these days took a look at their characters doing therapyspeak and whether that's appropriate for their work and their world.

By "therapyspeak" I mean speaking like this: "This is the emotion I'm feeling, and feeling that emotion makes me want to act in a way"

America: "Since we're, 'allies,' we're going to build a base in your country."

Qatar needs an airbase on US soil to protect itself against its enemies, like the US.

It just so happens that America has wanted to do a coup in Venezuela for years and seize control of its oil industry, and it just so happens that her goals perfectly align with America's, but that's not suspicious at all! That's just Democracy, baby! Can you smell the Capitalism?

Instead of giving the award to Trump, who has been murdering Venezuelans, they gave it to a Venezuelan CIA asset who's accomplished nothing. That's been the state of the world in the past year.
