USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

What I’ve learned so far from the World Cup so far is that the best strategy is to fake an injury and eat up as much of the clock as possible and hope for a tie… how do people like this?

Bruh @KasperMLB the reads were and Burger just homered…

First trailer for the remastered version of ‘GODZILLA DESTORY ALL MONSTERS MELEE’. Releasing on November 3.

If I may- in my estimation- #WidowsBay may very well be the best streaming series in a long time… and hands down one of the most mesmerizing acts of narrative prestidigitation in Horror.

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Every single showtime for Backrooms at my local cinema looks like this. We are so back

Cult leader Jim Jones used to fake assassination attempts so that his cult would worship him harder. Just thought I’d share that history with everyone

Pope declared jihad against AI, we are so fucking back.

Whoever invents an AI blocker is going to create one of the biggest inventions of our time, and I’m ready to pay for it.

You simply cannot be a horror fan and then still hold racist, misogynistic, transphobic, religiously conservatist or anti socialist views. The two aren’t compatible.

The more video games you play the more you feel like Elden Ring truly is the best game ever

yes i'm a patron of the arts i go to da movies

Uneducated voters are more dangerous than illegal immigrants.

“No bro I don't wanna get on the game tn”

We as a society need to stop this thing where we see a new actor in a breakout indie role and immediately think “she should be trapped in a massive franchise that doesn’t require any real acting”

People dumping Trump over gas prices and not child rape is scary.
