- I think a big problem with kids' allegories for racism is it's like "the green people and the purple people hated each other just for being the other color, isn't that silly?" and not "the purple people kidnapped the green people and treated them like livestock for 100s of years"
- Ok but the real challenge, if you're willing to put in the work, is going to be tricking them into releasing Morbius a third time
- Didn't get to see the end of the cool dream I was having. Because of woke
- There's some pretty dark stuff in here
Congressional staffers say an onslaught of calls and emails asking for members to support a cease-fire has caught Dems completely off-guard. "I’ve never seen such a disconnect between where voters and constituents are and where Congress is" huffpost.com/entry/calls-fo… - Seems like he's vacillating wildly between his two strongest self preservation instincts: protecting his ego and protecting his money, and just bouncing back and forth faster and faster unable to accept they're just fundamentally incompatible in this situationthis isn't from a "parody" account. he actually tweeted (then deleted) this
- Replying to @americanwombatA lot of grownups learned about it more or less like that and that's why they think "just ignore color" or "stop having hate in your heart" or "we need examples of opposite-color people being friends" will fix things, because it would, if it was the first kind of situation
- A kids movie that really freaked me out was the GI Joe Movie. Cobra Commander got hit with de-evolution gas and slowly turned into a snake over the movie and a Joe carried him around out of pity til he could only say "I was once a man" over and over again and then nothing
- has anyone made a JS formatter called pettier that doesn't fix any code but just leaves snarky comments like "// 4 nested callbacks, really?" or "// wow just putting it right in the global namespace huh"
- One of the things that pisses me off the most is when people's eyes just glaze over when you explain the mechanics of why all the online content sites imploded, straight from people who tried to keep the sites afloat, and then say "no they went under because they got too woke"My former employer CollegeHumor did this. In order to beat YouTube, Facebook faked incredible viewership numbers, so CH pivoted to FB. So did Funny or Die, many others. The result: A once-thriving online comedy industry was decimated. A $40m fine is laughable; shut Facebook down.
- Replying to @jfruhBut it won't be a problem in this car because the VR will make it feel like you can see out windows whenever it happens to not be malfunctioning
- Replying to @jeremysmilesYou should say "this is very serious" and invite him to a meeting with the 3 of you and just wear different hats when you're being each account
- Apparently there have been huge cuts going on at DreamWorks including my entire former department?? Part of a push to outsource everything and avoid dealing with the union?
- Replying to @drmistercodyI would have thought all these replies were sarcastic if they weren't from people who wouldn't dare be sarcastic to him
