Aka Big Blue Man (from Little Big Man).

I don’t know anyone who can even remember what the story part of Cameron’s Avatar actually was, let alone anyone who liked the story part. The part about the regular human’s consciousness taking over the artificial blue critter is completely forgotten, and that’s the whole reason the movie was called Avatar in the first place.

Fun fact: Cleveland OH was all set to become North America’s hub for continental and transatlantic airship traffic. The problem was that airships fundamentally suck, something that the Hindenburg disaster merely highlighted.

TBF it’s a bit uncommon to berate someone for their sexuality and then insist that they and their partner join you for dinner.

Maybe name the merged country after some sort of footstool?

Aha, that’s what Cy Porter is doing wrong – he’s trying to fix broken tubs and showers with a sharpie.

Could be just barely a boomer. She looks maybe 8 or 9 years old and that car in the background is early '70s. If this was 1973 and she was born in 1964, she’s a boomer.

I can take “skibidi”. “Chicken jockey” is what’s getting me right now.

Weirdest, most dangerous shit I’ve ever seen on a bicycle.

Where I live (Philadelphia suburb) it’s become common to see people (adults who should know better as well as children) riding on the wrong side of the road, against traffic. On narrow streets with high curbs and no shoulders. Around completely blind turns. Wearing noise-cancelling headphones.

They don’t seem like people who want to commit suicide, and yet there they are.

Yeah, if we’re going to assume that an entire age cohort is some sort of philosophical and political monoblock, we should at least get the cohort right.

Debatable.

once they’re completely entrenched in the workflows and thought processes of millions of people, they can charge whatever they want

Except that those people won’t have jobs or money to pay for AI.

“Employees will use AI to do their jobs!” AI enthusiasts don’t seem to grasp that if AI can do your job, you’re not going to have a job any more.

“What do ‘left’ and ‘right’ mean again?”

your labor was stolen

TBF we mitigated that to some extent by getting high a lot and knocking off at 3:30 to drink beers.

I used to work for an organization in Atlanta that was somewhat similar to Habitat for Humanity. We existed ostensibly to build and renovate low-cost housing for homeless people. Our basic course of action was 1) buy an abandoned house that numerous homeless people were squatting in; 2) roust the homeless people out so we could do the renovation (they literally had us carpenters doing this rousting, which was an interesting experience for a liberal college boy on a co-op like myself); 3) leave the house empty because we couldn’t find anyone who could both afford the mortgage and wanted to live in these neighborhoods. Like, it was crazy how much worse we were making the homeless problem.

Looking back on it decades later, I’m pretty sure this was a giant charity scam. We raised large amounts of donor money and very little of that went into actual renovations of anything. I’m not saying Habitat is or was like this, but we sure seemed to be.

The GOP is working hard to fix this … by greatly increasing the number of homeless people.

His father was an S-tier douchebag as well. And he started his douchebaggery in fucking WWI!
