“I said that the ‘extreme left’ has suppressed the art of comedy. I did say that. That’s not true,” he said. “It’s not true. If you’re a champion skier, you can put the gates anywhere you want on the mountain and you’re going to make the gate. That’s comedy. Whatever the culture is, we make the gate. You don’t make the gate, you’re out of the game. The game is, ‘where is the gate, how do I make the gate and get down the hill the way I want to?’”

“Does culture change? And are there things that I used to say that I can’t say because people are always moving [the gate]? Yes, but that’s the biggest, easiest target,” he added. “You can’t say certain words, whatever they are, about groups. So what? The accuracy of your observation has to be 100 times finer than that, to just be a comedian … so I don’t think, as I said, the ‘extreme left’ has done anything to inhibit the art of comedy. I’m taking that back now, officially. They have not.”

Well done Jerry! You finally figured it out! 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄

Mutuals will understand why I find this both annoying and deeply ironic

Look.This keeps crossing my dash and ok, I'm not gonna be that person who goes "Do A Deep Background Check on Everyone You Reblog From Or You're Problematic TM" and I'm not blaming anyone but...

But fucking Brendanicus? Really? Just let that blog die forever already.

It's not even like the point they make is original, there's plenty of other people who you can reblog this from.Most of them will even be able to clear the "knows genocide is bad" bar.

God what really gets me about Taylor Swift is that her music isn't even good. Like it's literally just not. She has a very pretty voice but her lyrics are incredibly dull, she's artistically mean-spirited, her melodies and instrumentation are hollow and predictable. I cannot for the life of me understand the gorilla grip this woman has on people. What does she have on you?

@ihatethewest is a radfem who has a huge terf following and often interacts with other radfem blogs (if you search "feminism" on their blog, it's all from radfems)

You sound like the sort of person who would stop believing that the US has crumbling medical infrastructure if a Republican were to say it.

Also, for everyone: don’t send me this shit on anon.

y'all netflix's one piece was SO good

bill seacaster was right exactly two times and those times were 1) telling the bad kids to protect their poor squishy wizard and 2) killing gilear to put a stop to gillariel. if we had let him cook on these two specific occasions and these two specific occasions alone we would live in a much better world today

ppl genuinely praising the iranian government the way they're doing in the trending page is so insane to me isreal is committing active genocide the solution isn't to praise a government that is committed to violating as many human rights laws as possible against its own people. you should not feel comfortable. iran did not heroically save a nation. you can acknowledge armed defence is beneficial to/necessary for liberating palestine without suddenly becoming an iranian government fan i promise there is a secret third way

What is hilarious about this is that until I saw the "on Darth Vader" at the end, I thought Hayden Christensen was talking about George Lucas himself.

As in:

"The prequels humanized [George Lucas], made him a real person. Almost somewhat of a pathetic person in a lot of ways..." / GL seemed more human because we could clearly see he had his flaws and, like any human, the potential to screw up big-time.

“Don’t get your hopes up. You’re just gonna be disappointed when it doesn’t happen 🙄”

Have you considered,

A.)Maybe it’s fun to theorize and be silly about our favorite show

B.) Maybe, just, maybe we might have reason to get our hopes up?

100% rambling here but tbh i've known about cara for a while. atm i respect the platform enough, and the space it's trying to build for artists, but with all the chatter given the recent meta/ig AI bs-- idk. i don't like people treating it as the ai-free safe haven for Actual Artists when i'm seeing these 2 points on the site's FAQs. i feel like it's either being overlooked or there's a big game of telephone where people are urging each other to join b/c "oh finally! a space free of ai!!"

it's run by a creative for creatives and is supposed to be a space more hospitable towards artists' needs, but based on what i'm seeing it's still open to normalizing genAI ('ai art') to some extent. the language/attitude below seems contradictory or misleading at worst, and conveniently vague/noncommittal at best.*

overall disappointing because i personally don't think giving genai leeway -- even if there are filters or 'ethically sourced' datasets in place - should be normalized at all. i see it mention portfolios, but this type of approach is also putting the bar on the ground when employers are already undercutting artists and writers in favor of genai. someone can still gain momentum even if they're posting genai as regular posts.

i already see so many IG accounts that are nothing but genAi, but people don't know/don't care, and those posts get circulated here on tumblr. posting genai for discussion is one thing, but still providing some type of genuine platform is still feeding into the machines that are hurting artists (and, honestly, consumers, too!).

like okay, can't post genai in a portfolio, but i can still attract people and normalize genai use by treating my posts as a portfolio, instead. ik filters exist but i don't think that should be normalized (and we see how poorly they're moderated on artstation).

genuinely not trying to be a contrarian/split hairs, i'd like to see this platform succeed, but i'd like to see more of a hardline rule/statement on how genai would be moderated if posts including genai are just to be for reporting/discussion purposes.

*[insert obligatory ethical ai tools developed by and for studios to make their workflows more efficient are distinct from genAI content and media disclaimer here]

the decked out guest list is kinda giving “they’re everything. he’s just hbomb” and i mean this in the best way possible. he’s the mcc sands of time vault hunters guy they picked up a few years back and he’s been slowly befriending more and more of the hermits and now he’s gonna be on the server! once upon a time he wistfully watched the world tour and now he’s gonna be on it!

reread a bit of lodestar and lady gisela signing her note to keefe with “love, mom” right before lord cassius asks sophie to tell keefe he can always come home is giving me a complex. you can love your son but only from afar.

the dynamic between the sencens is so endlessly fascinating to me — especially with the idea that they do love each other. like they are three people who are forever tied together even though they cannot stand each other and underneath that they care about each other so much they despise it. lord cassius is the cruelest and most callous man in the lost cities and when you look into his subconscious it’s filled with love for gisela and keefe. keefe hates his parents and still grieved when he thought gisela died. gisela did nothing but use her son and husband relentlessly for her own gain and still was upset when they discovered her identity bc it meant losing the pretense of family. your family are the worst people you know but also the ones you can’t let go of.

on my flight back from copenhagen yesterday there was a very limited movie selection so at one point I literally ended up watching captain america the winter solider bc half of the offerings were marvel and it’s the only marvel movie that doesn’t cause within me visceral hatred and tbh shocked that it’s mostly held up…it’s got good fight choreography. Minimal stupid quips. Relevant surveillance state intrigue plot, tragic homoerotic best friends, the implication that the us govnt is infiltrated by nazis and needs to be burned down..also an emo boy with long hair. Good stuff! The other movie I watched was in the heart of the sea which was extremely bad but had my very good friend Herman Melville my best friend Herman. Perhaps you’ve heard of him

142 days later and I am STILL thinking about:

"Those who shine brightest require the aid of the deepest darkness."

Irreversible damage was done to me that day. It's crazy because Shigeki has NO idea the implications that statement has.

The minute Shigeki mentions Kazuki's name, Rei is so quick to remove him from the situation. He situates any and all failures as solely his own and tries to separate Kazuki from the himself as much as possible. I think he tries to separate himself from Kazuki even more so after the incident with his mentor because the events of the night confirm that Kazuki is something Rei is not and that is a good person.
