The martial arts scenes in It’s A Wonderful Life were a key influence on The Matrix

Yeah probably!

I have an idea: expropriate Murdoch properties and disenfranchise Republican voters

It’s amazing to see how America exports itself and be metabolized by local people

I was at her office to participate in some ad taping and it was an extremely professional crew with some expensive equipment

I think it’s cheap and easy to screenshot campaign filings and post them. I think it’s far more interesting to look at how the money is spent, on who, doing what, etc

The political-historical sophistication of Wall Street analysts is on par with sports commentary

I’d never pay for it as it seems like a waste of money. The kid will be as smart as parents allow them to be

The Devil’s Sound A 6 episode immersive audio folk horror experience, set in David Barnett's Withered Hill universe.

three days to go - it seems like we're in need of a minor miracle (plan b starts on Monday afternoon), but if you're minded to add your name to the 'interested' list, it's an offer that won't actually cost you anything right now..

Digital ads are better and more cost effective buyβ€”everybody sees ads on their phones

He instead did an interview with Institutional Investor on how he achieved such an extraordinary Uncorrelated Return. He said that while he avoided Home Bias, he was not immune to charms of an occasional Homer.

Mayor Mamdani holds a box of donuts open for five DSNY employees.

DSNY has been pulling 12-hour shifts since winter storm Fern. I stopped by during shift change today to say thank you.

They deserve more than just donuts, so please: Next time you see a DSNY worker, say thank you. They’ve kept this city moving through the worst of it.

It's funny how when I first played Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time only a year ago I was like "this setting seems hokey" and now I'm like "no that's exactly what's happening"

My grandpas were a Milk truck driver and a long haul truck driver. Then my dad works in sales at a logistics company and my mom works in college administration. Now I work at a bank. Gotta keep climbing the ladder of life!

Sadly I think a war against Iran gives Trump reason to try and cancel elections

prediction: war against Iran scares the shit out of south and East Asian allies, prompting them to lean towards China over time.

The problem with β€œrelationship anarchists” are the people themselves

The point of any relationship is that it should fulfill one on a spiritual and emotional level. I believe this can occur in any form of relationship provided that each person is mature and aligned w/ the other(s)

Basically I think cisgender, heteronormative people are socially conditioned for monogamy and it’s a lot of emotional work to change the way you react to perceived infidelity.

Also I think we as a society have poor mental models for what healthy love and marriage looks like so blaming the practice of polyamory for the selfish behavior of humans seems misplaced

I think it’s fine to β€˜abolish the family’ and explore alternative relationship lifestyles, if the couple is aligned on mission orientation

Pairing off into monogamous marriage is a social practice like any other, meaning it’s informed by contingency.

he genuinely posts about Zohran as if he's his Marxist son

I’ve felt this way since he moved ships against Iran. I’m worried these dipshits will do something to draw in China

At least this time the supply shock is occurring early enough in his presidency that its effect will be felt by election year

However I think we’re at risk of slipping into a recession

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as β€œthe middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

I need to learn more Chinese so my eyes see the difference between Caixin and Caijing
