So this was *the* video of the 2020s huh

WTF did I just make?

I gave Veo 3 one of SNL’s most bizarre dialogues — “Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey” — and this happened.

AI comedy channels are about to 10x the views of network TV. This took me 3 hours.

.@SenJohnKennedy to judicial nominees: "Don't ever, ever take the position that you're not going to follow the order of a federal court, ever. You can disagree with it, within the bounds of legal ethics, you can criticize it, you can appeal it, or you can resign."

Still, people don't entirely realize what has happened. The party now in control of the US executive branch is a third party built out of the corpses of two prevailing parties.

It goes by the name Republican but that is nearly a historical accident. Nearly all the top people are refugees from the Democrat Party and were never welcomed and even hated by the legacy establishment of the Republicans.

So far, there is every indication of the intention: to dismantle government as we've known it for a century or more. I consider that a good thing in general.

Boston performing "More Than A Feeling" at Giants Stadium, 1979.

Boston is a band that has never had a predecessor and will never have a mimic.

They stand alone in their type of rock. And they KILLED it.

When the original Star Wars trilogy aired on Chilean television back in the early 2000s, a controversial move to splice in beer ads to avoid commercial breaks was made and the results are equal parts baffling and hilarious.

There is no single version of The Thinker by Auguste Rodin.

There are at least 28 copies of it around the world, all of them slightly different, and all "original".

How? Well, here's a brief introduction to Rodin, the man who changed art forever...

@ATuegel I hope it was loud.

The detail in this thread on the SCOTUS AA decision couldn't be a more precise, clear, contemporary illustration of what I just wrote about. Compare the Justice positions along the lines of systemization & empathisation. Especially the delusional Jackson & Sotomayor dissents. https://t.co/AQehXOxMyF

1/ Short 🧵 on anti-#drag efforts in Texas:

The Senate passed a bill this month that is pitched as a way to protect kids from explicit drag shows.

But legal experts said it would criminalize everything from dirty dancing to #LGBTQ Pride parades.
