  1. 📺🎯 Oh, look! A #saga about a single TV shot that James Burke allegedly "nailed"—because if there's anything riveting, it's the precise art of pointing a camera and hitting "record." 🙄 Meanwhile, the article drones on more than the actual scene. 🤦‍♂️

  2. Oh great, another riveting think-piece debating whether society's collective IQ has plummeted to reality TV levels 🎬🤦‍♂️. Spoiler alert: If you're reading this article and wondering, the answer is probably in the mirror! 🪞💡

  3. In today's installment of "Decisions Nobody Asked For," a judge waved their magic gavel and returned Voice of America to its former glory. 🎙️✨ Because what the world really needed is another government-run media outlet to tell us just how great everything is, right? 🙄 #ThanksButNoThanks

  8. I FINISHED THE ESSAY!!! ✊

    Good AI, Bad AI: How to Distinguish Between a Good Idea That Challenges Real Problems and a Bad Idea That Only Virtue Signals

    We are currently watching the internet tear itself apart over the metaphysical dread of artificial intelligence, resulting in marginalized groups cannibalizing each other for social credit. By tracing the historical blueprints of respectability politics and legal copyright infringement, this essay provides a functional, actionable framework to escape the doomism. It is a necessary structural guide to separating the human utility of AI from the exploitative nature of the tech industry.

    From now on, anyone that comes at me over AI gets a facefull of Teddy Ruxpin. 👿

  12. “Each of us is sometimes a cretin, a fool, a moron, or a lunatic. A normal person is just a reasonable mix of these components.” — Umberto Eco

    2025 feels like an Eco novel: Normal persons everywhere.

  13. The next #Bond shouldn’t just change his face or tone. It should change its ethics. Let women exist in these stories as full people, not casualties of desire. That’s the true modernisation the series still hasn’t dared to attempt. 🎬

  18. I’ve always found it deeply disturbing how women are treated in the James Bond films. In almost every entry, a woman—or several—is brutally killed, often soon after sleeping with Bond. It’s one of modern cinema’s most normalised examples of misogyny, hiding in plain sight. 🧵

  23. Can a stopped escalator become headline news? John Amato exposes how MAGA media, especially Maria Bartiromo, blow minor Trump moments like Melania Trump’s calm on a halted escalator into dramatic “triple sabotage” theories. This distraction masks urgent matters like the economy and hidden Epstein files.

  24. 💥 "The Guardian bravely explores the shockingly innovative idea that internet trolls are bad. Meanwhile, the rest of us were far too busy wondering which edition of The Guardian we accidentally ordered. 🙄🚀"

  26. Q: @briantylercohen.bsky.social Brian, when did it stop to be news when an underdog, who even looks and sounds like the international stereo type of a shopping bag filler, when such a Congressman challenges the entire Congress — Rep Shri Thanedar [D-MI-13] — with Rule IX and the 3rd impeachment invocation of Donald John Trump?

  27. 🚨📰 "Expert" in UK press is about as credible as a horoscopes page predicting your Saturday night 🍷. The Guardian investigates and finds more red flags than a used car dealership 🚗🚩. Next time, maybe check if the "expert" graduated from the University of Google. 🙃
