It's a bit theatrical, but the closest thing feels like cupping a hand to the side of your mouth like you're saying something sotto voce. It only really works if you have a reason to downplay what you're saying rather than just any random aside though.

For body language more generally, you could just take a half step to the side with a bit of a head tilt or wave of the hand (feels more natural for something like a monologue though).

Until Google neglects to update Google Earth and your entire system update gets hung on a no-digest error so you have to either uninstall Google Earth or run a custom update command that skips it every single time. 😩

Not only that, but the director is a huge fan of the book and is also the CEO of Laika, so there should be no issues with creative differences!

I just hope they survive long enough to release Piranesi.

They pulled out BECAUSE he was turning it into a MAGA rally. Bait and switch.

It's just Xitter's image viewer cropping it automatically; the original upload has it.

For a Roman emperor, Julian was pretty decent. He was a philosopher-king, reformer, and his suppression of Christians didn't reach the bloody excesses of his predecessors. Definitely doesn't deserve to be compared to Trump.

Fuck off with this shit. Normalizing political violence of any kind is not okay. It's all fun and games until they start shooting at the people you support, and that's a ratchet that tends to go only one way.

Sounds more like a roflsprinkler tbh.

More like cement shoes, in this case.

This place really has a lot of Facebook-tier memes. If not AOL-tier.

I see a lot of these types of photos shared around as a gotcha, but it makes me genuinely wonder: is there any reason to believe that everyone who visited the island was involved with sex trafficking minors, or even "just" skeevy barely-18s in bikinis type stuff? Obviously people like Prince Andrew (and likely Trump) were implicated in some heinous shit, and plenty of others willingly associated with Epstein even after his original conviction, which is disgusting even if they didn't do anything criminal themselves. But it seems like he and Maxwell would logically keep the worst aspects of their operation under wraps and only "initiate" people that they wanted to blackmail. At least, as long as it's plausible that they used the island for regular rich-people-hobnobbing in addition to the criminal stuff, it feels bad to use a photo of them with someone as evidence that person is guilty (absent corroborating evidence of at least the fact that the photo was dated after Epstein's first conviction).

That's assuming the photo is real/accurate of course. I tried searching this one to see if it was before or after the conviction, and the only provenance I found linked it to some alt-right/4chan sites years ago.

Where did I say that was a good thing?

My point was that saying that "everyone hates this" and "nobody wants this" (what the shirt in the post says) is flatly untrue. Whether ChatGPT has a billion daily active users or 500 million weekly active users or whatever is just trivia that doesn't really change the gist of what I'm saying. Lots and lots and lots of people really like AI tools and use them every single day. Ignoring that fact and pretending like everyone agrees with you is dumb.

Can you share specific credible reports? The stuff I've seen has been anonymous tips to the FBI tipline that were included in the files. Salacious and maybe even true, but little more than "trust me bro." Heck, even witnesses that come forward can have questionable credibility -- remember Biden accuser Tara Reade, who has since defected to Russia? I want to see persuasive evidence (though again, I kind of dread it).
