I'll say this for AI: It's really made me nostalgic for Bonzi Buddy.

Project 2025 is the real republican platform - anyone saying elsewise is lying, stupid, willfully ignorant, or all of the above.

Magenta over red feels very Ditko-esque and hallucinatory - to me, it's the most evocative. In any event: strong Castle Rat vibe - love it!

On the one hand, I love a Songsterr (which I pay 10/mo for) because it provides me with transcriptions I would otherwise spend hours and hours sounding out. On the other hand, I still spend hours (albeit a slightly reduced number of them) un-fucking transcriptions that are wrong, Wrong, WRONG!

This came up yet again in my feed and so I want to remind every Buffy fan or anyone who's Buffy aware or adjacent: it is too soon to talk about The Body.

My partner is 30 minutes away from giving her capstone presentation, after which (exempting a couple of relatively minor projects) she will have earned her MSW from @fiu.bsky.social - I am so proud of her on this exceptional day!

I rocked bucket hats in the rave days and I loved them, but then I found out I was being called "bucket hat guy" and I didn't yet known how to lean into things, so I stopped. Your post makes me feel like Homer not seeing Mr. T at the mall. Do it, my friend, do it for all of us!

Re: Dolemite The 1970s movie with RRM was one of my favorite things *ever* - I have seen it upwards of 50 times. I saw RRM live back in 1994 or 1995 and it was an *event*! Experiential high water mark for me. The Eddie Murphy movie literally made me tear up - it's that good!

Pretty meh punctuated by a few heck yeahs and a bit of cringe. If you liked BHC 1, it is an interesting if imperfect endcap to the whole thing.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

Just ordered a McDonald's breakfast using an automated kiosk. It is a sysiphean exercise in human misery. Every step is laboriously slow, tediously redundant, and accompanied by saccharine animations. Hell on earth.

fuck man, I don't even know what to say anymore. One political party wants to burn everything to the ground and institute theocratic, kleptocratic autocracy. I think this is bad, just one man's opinion.

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

I think a thing that's poorly understood about American history is that a lot of the progress made through the New Deal was driven by the political elite's fear of the Russian Revolution happening here and not by them having a sudden turn of heart after being visited by multiple ghosts or something.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

It's very hard to make art in a society where it is deeply ingrained that the serious work of your life is making money for other people and taking care of your loved ones, and art is a slightly self-indulgent hobby for yourself.

the fact that we can look at most major problems with our lives and guess "this is the fault of private equity" - and have that actually be correct a shockingly large percentage of the time - is an excellent reason to regulate the industry into the ground

If Biden loses in Nov, well, that’s a disaster for everybody, but not especially for Joe Biden, he’ll be okay (unless revenge indictments start flying) but if Trump loses, that’s 100% absolutely a massive catastrophic personal tragedy for him, and I really hope you all join me in making that happen

Nobody knows that those little cubby looking things on the Enterprise D are actually, in fact, shoe cubbies. Captain Picard is a huge sneakerhead. Picard, firmly: "Damage report, Mr. Worf!" Worf, resolute: "Kick crispness down to 69 percent, Captain" Data, dryly: "Nice."
