Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

In much the same way that COVID was the epidemiological event of the decade.
HBO Max’s highly anticipated Harry Potter series, coming to the streamer in 2027, will be “the streaming event of the decade,” JB Perrette, CEO and president of global streaming & games at Warner Bros. Discovery said in London on Monday. At least that!

Our two responses to white supremacists should be “we WILL replace you” and, as outlined here, “stay mad.”
Well, okay, three if you count “fix your heart or die.”

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

One day when I really want to burn it all down, I might write about the affect of this certain type of intellectual who engages with AI/LLMs/whatever like this. I’ve seen it up close and in person. They all have a empty eyed, hyper focused gaze — so far up their own asses they could shit a cough.

I finally watched the half-show everybody was talking about and my hot take is…. Isn’t it deceptive advertising? I was promised a rabbit getting up to all kinds of mischief but instead it was just… a singing guy? I mean he was extremely good but, where was the bunny?

This is a pretty fun story.
404 Media just had an ad during the #SuperBowl! We Googled "smallest TV markets in the United States" and bought an ad for $2,550 that only ran in Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. That still counts

“We’re giving them too many edges.”
Hoo boy.

I turned on the big game in advance of Bad Bunny and the first thing I heard was “it’s amazing how deep inside the hole he can get and still be bouncing around outside,” so this is already a big win on the homoerotic innuendo front.

I would think if you wanted to reach a large audience with your message condemning the pervasiveness of antisemitism, you might want some sort of guarantee it won’t end with a smash cut to a bunch of toilets singing an ‘80s soft rock classic.

If anyone is selling you the opportunity to make money, *you* are how *they* make money and the 'secret' they have is convincing people like you to pay them.
There will be a lot of smoke & mirrors to make it look like you have agency, but the product is your gullibility.

It's hilarious that Fox News treats these things as deeply scandalous, in between segments where a bunch of adults are sitting around saying stuff like, well, you know, fourteen-year-olds *are* pretty sexy these days ...

There are some scenes in THE ALABAMA SOLUTION 📽️ which are right on the edge of what a documentary can responsibly show, but I tend to think that if someone can live it, I can at least watch it once. It's very painful and very good movieswetextedabout.com/the-alabama-...

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

I should ask the Bulwark guy his thoughts on people who don’t think Carville is problematic, because “problematic” would indicate a degree of relevance Carville hasn’t had since you had to know who Billy Bob was supposed to be in Primary Colors.
Saw a Bulwark guy say that anybody who thinks James Carville is a problematic figure can't win Texas and my only reaction is that I straight up don't know who that is
