SEE HOW THE WOLF SUCCEEDS

It is very striking to me the commonality between "refusing not to spend money on video games or newspaper puzzles made by transphobes" and "becoming convinced that Fauci was forcing us all to take unnecessary precautions." In both cases, these positions start with "my comfort is at risk."

Why should *I* shelter, they’re the ones who suck!

Obviously box office is still box office and so the Spider-Man returns and whatever happens in December will have an impact on this, but in terms of the MCU's cultural dominance this feels like a significant fuck-up.

Google's complete 180 flip to becoming a dedicated misinformation tool will be studied for decades. If we're lucky.

The first time I experienced it being hot as hell but also grey and rainy was 30 years and on the other side of the world. It is still incredibly weird to me.

I dunno, I just feel like if I shat my pants as explosively as Ken has on here today, someone I respect would have said “hey man, you gotta walk this back TODAY.” Are all his trans friends busy telling him he did no wrong? Really?

This like a Chris Fleming bit, amazing.

It is kind of unbelievable how American and British culture both have a simultaneous puritanism about pleasure and also an obsession with leisure and comfort at the expense of all else.

Just realized what the Ken Jennings thing reminded me of and it was Bluesky's own CTO Paul Frazee saying "I still hang out with the dolls" to defend his company's consistently transphobic moderation decisions. Do these guys' alleged friends know they're used as bargaining chips like this?

those with "good faith concerns" should get third degree burns

Plus it generates moments of unexpected brilliance like Riz Ahmed explaining how there’s no such thing as British tea. “It’s all Indian tea!” In a bit supposedly about comparing snack foods.
