funny the Hapsburgs were the most powerful dynasty for centuries, had the first truly global empire, acquired untold weath and power and the only thing they’re popularly known for now is inbreeding. Not to do the “Avatar has no memes” take but this is a hilariously shitty legacy

Thank you for making me feel ancient, . “A few weeks ago, during a rare lecture to undergraduates at King’s College, I started to talk about the 2003 Iraq War. I soon realised that all this had happened before most of my audience was born.”

I have not seen the video. Those who love me most have urged me not to. One of the truths playing Kunta Kinte taught me is that the dehumanization of Black people was necessary to the success of our enslavement.

i was wondering how the stunt coordinator in this video ended up with an eyepatch (i figured it was from a stunt gone wrong) so i looked it up and it turns out he lost his eye when he was shot 4 times by a hitman hired by his ex-wife to kill him

the start of the Tyre Nichols video shows a group of police, for no discernable reason, immediately escalating to violence, threatening and hitting a young man while shouting contradictory orders at him
they threaten to tase him if he does not lie down, while he is lying down

OH MY GOD. Manolis Kallistis brutally knocks out Juan Gonzalez with a rolling thunder kick at Fairtex Fight (Muay Thai rules). And it was NOT an illegal blow.
One of the most spectacular KO's you'll see all year.

The queer community should be inherently subversive and instead ended up tone policing other queers and thinking a whole identity can be reduced to labels and that those often western-centric labels mean the same thing for everyone everywhere and are immutable and I'm tired

In 1974, author Ray Bradbury was asked, “What is space travel going to do for man?” In response, he gave the most mystical, mind-blowing, and strangely moving answer I could have imagined.

The way the American built environment is designed to make drinking & driving almost always the path of least resistance is one of those quietly monstrous things you can’t unsee when you realize it. We require bars to build parking lots & act surprised when people die.

They were finally allowed to see the bodycam footage of Tyre Nichols's murder at the hands of Memphis police.
Here is the full press conference from Mr. Crump and Tyre Nichols's legal team in good quality.
The footage sounds like it's as bad as any we have ever seen.

This morning she got multiple Oscar nominations. Please tell me again how cancel culture is real.

I'll permit myself one Oscars 🔥 take: it's a bit surreal that the most visually creative American pic of the year, made by an Oscar-winning director and featuring huge stars, was never even mentioned. But, given what it says about the industry and its history, also unsurprising!

The fact that ChatGPT writes strange and mediocre undergraduate humanities papers but fantastic elite MBA exams suggests it may not have the same implications for every kind of education

Winchell Chung is still alive!
But I've spend the last month or so in the hospital. I just got out.
I would have notified you all earlier, but I had no access to computers and my wife has no computer skills whatsoever.

After a long tenure at Vox, I will not be working there any longer. The decision wasn't mine.
I am furious for my other talented colleagues, worried for myself, and very tired, as I am on maternity leave and am having trouble processing emotions other than "baby."

What are examples in any form of media where a "brilliant song/painting/play/etc" within the story is actually as good as the characters act like it is?
Note: NOT the same as just "I liked it". It needs to actually fully match its fictional reputation
