What on earth does “a Reservoir Dogs style show of force” even mean, this is beyond “you missed the point of the movie,” it’s “have you literally not seen the movie”

at one point an ex of mine met some french guys in a bar who were trying to do American accents; it was basically just a French accent with a hard American R, loudly repeating "I love my TRRRUCK. I love to drive my TRRRRUUUUCK." So now I say that out loud, again and again, whenever I drive my truck

watching the first BEVERLY HILLS COP and it is always shocking to remember that eddie murphy was 22 when he filmed this. the guy acts on screen like he’s never not been a movie star. it’s extraordinary.

This semester I’m going to tell my students I don’t care if they use ChatGPT to write their papers, much as I don’t care if they use LSD and a ouija board write their papers. I’ll give fancy-sounding bullshit a failing grade no matter how it’s produced.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Under today’s immunity decision, Biden could order AG Garland to immediately prosecute Thomas and Alito for corruption and insurrection. (Official act). If Garland refuses, Biden can fire him and replace him with someone who will. (Official act) I would suggest Elie Mystal.

I think sites that require emailed 2 factor authentication, and then send an email that doesn't arrive for 10 minutes, and has a 15 minute time limit on the code... deserve to fail. 2FA is good. But, c'mon, get your act together.

you don't become old on your 30th birthday, you become old the first time you scroll past a high school picture of your friend on social media and then realize, with creeping horror, that you are actually looking at a recent photo of their teenage child

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

it's one thing to admit that your political party has structural problems with producing desirable and viable candidates, it's quite another to suggest that the time to fix these problems is in the four months leading up to an extremely high stakes election

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

one fun thing is to fill in "as it was programmed to do by Waymo" after every boneheaded or awful thing an AV does. "The Waymo drove into the emergency scene, as it was programmed to do by Waymo, and prevented the ambulance from leaving the scene, as it was programmed to do by Waymo" it's fun!
