Likes words and pictures. Still here (i.e. in academia, thinking about contemporary literature, visual culture, and the politics of aesthetics).
Coined the phrase "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Jeeves," as a [bad] argument against labour exploitation.

I've seen several posts of people saying that Bidens speech was him saying "I cant do anything about this," which is a fundamental misunderstanding of what he said & indictative of a deeply shallow/unserious understanding of politics & the stakes. Biden is *rejecting* this power. Full stop.

I learned at an engineering conference recently that one crypto mine in TX, 100s of MW, makes more money off ERCOT demand response markets than it does off crypto repeat: TX ratepayers pay them more to sometimes stop mining than they make by actual mining just bananas misuse of power markets 🔌💡

The Ford government allows the Science Centre to fall apart, underfunds education, underfunds health care, and wastes money on boondoggles that, oddly, seem to often benefit their lobbyists or friends. And it's not CLOSE to the worst provincial government in the country right now. (I'd say third.)

If I were Christian or had an affinity for Jesus, I’d be super-fucking-pissed about what the right-wingers are doing in His name. If anyone needs saving these days, it’s Him.

The Biden administration has taken anti-monopoly action against: -Amazon -Apple -Google -Facebook -Live Nation -JetBlue -Spirit -Kroger -Albertsons We’ve had years of government forces working on behalf of corporations. This is what it looks like when they work for the people.

My favorite language evolution is "making love." In the past, it used to mean doing couple stuff together, like going for a walk. That's why whenever I'm in a bad mood, I just look at this old Popeye comic and smile.

Like with virtually all tech obsessions of the last decade, the fact that, from a casually observed perspective, there isn’t a *single* enthusiastic female voice to be found is a huge tell, and will be a giant weakness in the development of these companies.

This is fucking preventable and these babies have no choice. They rely on us.

Many of the great films of 1999 were flops, including Bringing Out the Dead, Being John Malkovich, Existenz, Three Kings, The Insider, Magnolia, The Virgin Suicides, The Limey, and Office Space. It is also like box office dollars are a poor indicator of a film's endurance!

Thanks to Tara Moriarty and group for updating these stats. Things are slightly worse in Ontario (and rest of Canada). Last month it was 1 in 76 infected. Now 1 in 63.
Take care folks! Click on link below for all provinces as well as other fascinating data.

Look I have unbridled disdain for libertarians, and for the libertarian party as a whole, but the first major nominee who speaks at their convention getting audibly booed so hard he pivots to a "fuck you speech" is legitimately funny.

People often dismiss Green Day as "not real punk" but those people are discounting the fact that Billie Joe Armstrong is bisexual, and that making music that is half punk, half Broadway musical is in fact PEAK queerpunk 90s theater kid energy.
