I don’t usually get involved in political stuff, but some things need to be said.

Spider-Man and Stan Lee would never support ICE.

Not now. Not ever.

Fuck ICE. 🖕

SOMEONE VIBE CODED A VIDEO STREAM THAT IS SECRETLY 100% TEXT SO IT CANT BE BLOCKED

it plays 360p video at 30fps, but theres no actual video on the page. every frame is just colored text characters being repainted on a canvas

to the browser its not media at all, its javascript updating some text

its called asciline, and here's the trick:

> the server decodes the real video and streams it as binary packed text over websockets
> the browser paints thousands of colored block characters fast enough to look like 360p
> ad blockers and autoplay blockers cant catch it because theres no video element to catch
> it streams in kilobytes since its just strings, so it runs on trash internet

since the video is literally text, you can apply css glows to it, let people copy paste a moving frame, or feed it straight to a local llm

however, an unblockable stream is also an unblockable ad as well

NEW: Astronaut Reid Wiseman shares a video of ‘Earthset’ that was taken with his iPhone

“This is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye…” Wiseman said.

This has to be the greatest iPhone video of all time.

“Testing positive for pregnancy” is an in interesting way to say “being raped and impregnated by ICE agents”

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

Max & Ruby has released photos from Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.

[CaseOh Updates @CaseOhUpdates0]

CaseOh speaks on the Super Bowl game and Bad Bunny's performance 😭 😭

"it was an absolute snooze fest... gotta say though, Bad Bunny is a good guy for letting them play Football at his concert because that was the only lit part about the whole thing" 👀

The more discussion I see around Iron Lung, the more that tweet rings true.

People complaining that the eldritch elements are “confusing” feels like this:

“I see the food is labeled spicy.
I eat the spicy food.
Then I ask why it’s spicy.”

That’s the genre.

Eldritch horror is supposed to be confusing. It’s built around the idea that there are things so vast, alien, and incomprehensible that the human brain literally cannot process them cleanly. If everything is neatly explained and wrapped up with a bow, then it stops being eldritch horror and just becomes sci-fi with a creepier coat of paint.

What Iron Lung does really well is refuse to over explain itself. It trusts the audience to sit with discomfort and uncertainty. The horror comes from not knowing, from piecing things together. That’s the point.

But the general audience increasingly needs everything to be explainable and spoon-fed to them. If the movie doesn’t pause to spell out exactly what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how they should feel about it, they reject it outright.

It’s like they need a Subway Surfers clip playing in the corner while big flashing text and text-to-speech narrates every plot beat, otherwise the hamster on the wheel in their brain stalls out and dies.

This guy magnificently used sarcasm to explain the Republican and MAGA hypocrisy in regards to the Alex Pretti murder.

👇👇👇

[Bricktop_NAFO @Bricktop_NAFO]

When asked about the Alex Pretti assassination, Trump explained he felt worse for Renee Good because her parents were Trump Supporters.

This is the third time he has done this.

He now measures the value of life depending on how much it can be associated with himself.
