D. R. “Not a Doctor” Blakeman

Whoever is the next Secretary of State is going to have some big shoes to fill.

It's all starting to unravel for Trump, you can feel the tide turning by the day. I'm just kidding, we're super fucked.

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

Little peek into the depths of my process

Dukakis in the tank was the first thing that came to my mind.

Getting a block from me is so embarrassing. It not only means the blockee are an insufferable assbat, but also that they weren’t even interesting enough to watch other people dunk on

So as the USA and Israel continue to bomb civilians, hospitals, schools etc across the middle east, let’s think ahead a bit.

If, heaven forbid, there’s ever another terrorist attack in the USA related to that region, can we please skip the fake-innocent WHY DO THEY HATE US shit this time??

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

There is only one thing Trump could do at that podium tonight that would make me regret not watching.

You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants

I will not watch the old man flatter and debase himself

I want to see the worst SOTU ratings of ALL TIME. Together we can do this

They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me— and I welcome their hatred.

Something I think about often is, if a Democrat said this today, it would've been a hot mic moment and they'd have to apologize and say it was out of context. FDR said it at Madison Square Garden, 3 days before a presidential election

He’s honestly not very good at it.

Windows, on the other hand, seems perfectly happy to waste my entire day of work. I am now officially an entire day behind on where I needed to be for this project, thanks to my fuckin OS. The OS!

That is not, in any way, shape or form, how it is supposed to work.

Garbage by a garbage company.

At least Linux wouldn’t be actively working against me. At least Linux would only be doing what I told it to do. At least Linux would listen to me when I told it not to do a specific thing, even if it’s shadowy corporate overlords REALLY WANTED IT TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

I hate dealing w/ Linux, you wanna talk about counterintuitive, I do not miss the halcyon days of DOS, at all.

But

“but it was an SECURITY update, we don’t have to tell you about SECURITY updates.”

Cool, cool cool, but, can you not restart when I am literally using 99.9% of the CPU at the time? Seems like a shitty, counterintuitive time to update, is all.

Also, the thing I *needed to work on today* isn’t done.

Last night I needed to render out an animation so I could work on it today, but Windows decided it would be a great time to restart itself and update instead. Despite the fact that: I had already told it not to, updates were manually paused by me for two weeks, oh & MY 3D PROGRAM WAS FUCKING RUNNING

This one hits hard.

None of the AI bots can tell you how many Rs are in strawberry, but Grok can tell you how many hard Rs

Dear Greenland

Sorry about old man dipshit. Can you send *us* a hospital boat?

Norms and traditions are dead. Civility theater is dead. Dead dead dead. We may not like that, but it’s indisputable. Norms mean nothing except surrender if only one side honors them! And it makes YOUR voters rightly wonder: are you oblivious? Cowardly? Complicit? Some combination of all three?

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

I don't know how you can honestly look at the last 7 years of thousands of anti-trans bills, a billion in anti-trans spending, laser focus by right wing think tanks, and billionaires personally engaged in the effort and think that all of this is a backlash to some trans people being mean online.

You seem determined to miss the points I’m trying to make, so agreed.

No, Brian from accounting just has to worry about whether or not his trans daughter gets to have literal rights or not. Whether she can go to school, get a job, get a drivers license.

I only feel bad for one of these hypothetical people, and it sure ain’t the asshole running for the White House.

It’s just always amazing when tens if not hundreds of thousands of voters are expected to bend backwards on their morals and basic decency, just so one shithead politician doesn’t have to. Maybe seems a little lopsided.
