I don't get why people twist themselves into pretzels to definitively say if someone is "good now" or "bad now" before discussing what they did now, like Gavin Newsom. Just say "what he just did is good" or "what he just did is bad," you don't have to enter a score for him, it's not a required field

Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy.

"BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations

oh hahaha no, I'm sorry apparently a full half of the 3000 settlement per book goes to the publisher, so I think my total share is $3750 for stealing my work in an attempt to replace me

Joseph Fink @planetoffinks.bsky.social · 1d

Assuming there aren't other fees or splits I'm not aware of, I will be paid $7500 for my life's work being fed into The Machine, and also they won't be removing my work from The Machine

Why is this website full of neurotics confidentially predicting doom over every suboptimal incident, I ask myself as If I do not know the answer.

It is SUCH a formative experience the first time your favorite artist releases a bad album. I envy all the kids going through it this week, you’re about to learn so much about the world! You’re learning how to let go!

Cool to think that if this album had come out 15 years ago it might have been about Todd Heap serving dick.

my only comment about the new taylor swift album

it would have been very funny to have a super bowl halftime show that included an ode to an active NFL player's hog

I like a number of songs on the new TS album, but there’s just no getting around the fact that it’s hilarious to fall deeply in love with Travis Kelce. It couldn’t be funnier if you wrote a set of romantic pop-ballads about Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle.

But... the 7 is a gun. Why are we removing the guns from the posters for movies about a guy who solves problems by either fucking them or shooting them? Sometimes both.

Rufus jones @rufeydoof.bsky.social · 5d

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

The cruel contradiction of growing up in the ‘80s was constant “don’t do drugs!” messaging combined with “look at the incredible movies and music and novels we created thanks entirely to cocaine!”

So every time people do "only 80s/90s kids remember" stuff it's always the same things and it feels fake. Here's some real stuff they never use: in the 80s there was a crazy amount of anti-Japan hysteria and in the 90s everyone had to make a joke about Dan Quayle even children's cartoons and Fallout

Saw them at warped tour 2010-2011 ish can’t remember what year. He would do a bit where he’d ask for a cigarette and wait for one to get thrown on stage and he’d eat it. Weird dude. Great album tho

Suspensions aren't about targeting a community or a viewpoint. They happen when an account breaks the rules, and we are taking a hard line against violent and threatening behaviour, because that's not the space we are trying to build.
