happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

I don't care if it's trending at #2 on Bluesky right now; I seriously doubt RadarOnline is a credible enough source to believe that CBS wants to hire Joe Rogan for 60 Minutes. That's supermarket tabloid bullshit right there.

Life changing #booksky

CBS cancelled Colbert; NBC is cancelling 8 shows... At this point, I'm wondering if the major networks should just go the MeTV route and show reruns of their best shows instead. It'd have the same cultural impact. Maybe slightly better.

Statements like this (from Rosenbaum) are intentional propaganda. There are no working writers today who do not know how much the majority of their peers are revolted by the use of this technology. The goal of stating things like this is to convince the general populace that it is normalized.

I like watching videos about folks 3D printing practical things they need for their desk or around the house, but why do so many of them have the personality of a cybertruck?

When I speak about AI the bros think I am coming from a place of not knowing what I am talking about. I unfortunately do. It's gotten much better at the details but it's bland af. If you think it's good I am sorry to break it to you but you have absolute middle of the road normie taste (derogatory)

I posted something about the joy of doing creative work, how the time spent is often of real value, and an AI bro said "You're just saying that to make a point." No, my friend, I've lived my entire adult life that way and I am older than VCRs.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

I've been wanting to try streaming for fun for a while now, and I think I should just plan ahead a schedule and just do it. I don't even really want to be a professional streamer; I think it'd just be nice as a hobby. Learn about how to manage live productions and all that on the fly.

I’m not financially qualified to give this advice but I think you should quit your job and just come read all day.

So, I'm making a pot roast, and I like to include red wine with the beef broth. I couldn't find the little bottles of merlot I normally use, so I got this cheapo can of Pinot noir to use. I'm not a big fan of drinking dry reds straight up, so I gave it a taste. Didn't like it. 😖

Stupid DbD compilation ideas: - A clip show of gameplay featuring Detective Tapp set to "Super Snooper" by the Oceans. - A short collection of clips featuring an all-Bill survivor roster for 2v8 with an extended version of the "Coach" theme playing. Lots of L4D sound bytes included.

I'm not very good at collating the data I already know, so I do not know just how much I know. I'm always constantly learning, and the more I learn, the less I know. So I've decided that the truth is that I know nothing, and I am content with knowing nothing as long as I keep learning everything.

In researching how to bookbind, I discovered that I can make my own bookbinding cloth with any fabric, double-sided adhesive sheets, and mulberry paper. Ten years ago I could easily snag some mulberry paper. Now nobody has the right sized sheets I need.

Gen 1 Starters in formline!! #pkmn #formline #indigenousart #telekitneticart

"The experience stunned Ms. Ross-Mahé, who previously considered herself a supporter of President Trump and so admired his policy to deport illegal immigrants that she thought it should be adopted in France."

It's weird going into a 5 Below and seeing a Beetlejuice figurine for Lydia Deetz, but the design is based on the old cartoon that hasn't been on the air in 35 years.

This applies to so much, right now.

I would love to celebrate the 35th birthday of a man who's given me so much joy, hope, and love over the time I've known him. Happy Birthday, @catarsisol.satan.social! I'll be sure to pick up a cheesecake for later! 🐻💚🦊

So, Bondi doesn't look like she's nervous at her hearing. To me she looks annoyed, like being asked a slew of intense questions about Epstein is an inconvenience. Hell, every time I see her she's bald faced lying with a straighter face than anybody I've ever seen. So I ask: is she a psychopath?

Lost my favorite uncle in the 'sota. He did three tours in theater. Went back even after a girl with blue hair was mean to him at a Dairy Queen. Got taken out by an IEHD on his last patrol.

Superficial charm also helps a narcissist lower the defenses of the people with whom they interact. Every criminal narcissist over the age of 35 that I have known (dozens over my >30 year career in criminal law) is personally charming. By 35, non-charming narcissists are either dead or in jail.

I was watching an instructional video at x1.5 speed because it helps to absorb information easier, and afterwards I selected my next video: a clip from Hell's Kitchen. Good LORD x1.5 speed makes reality TV feel positively breakneck, like I've lost control of my car on the highway.

I loved Urkel as a kid. I felt like his sci-fi hijinks improved what to me was a really boring show, and I'd tune in every Friday because of it. So as an adult, it stings a LOT realizing that so many people hate him because he essentially ruined "Family Matters". I mean, I agree. It's just... damn.

I need to read "Dracula". TikTok has piqued my interest in the mere existence of Quincy Morris and I have to see this shit for myself.

My husband, @catarsisol.satan.social, designed a cyclical calendar for me to follow to help me organize my year and keep track of what's happening. I love it so much!

Is it crazy to shop around for a new voice actress to fandub out Nicki's voice for Sugilite? Or would that be considered historical erasure?

People love public services & love taxing the rich to pay for them

Generative AI has filled me with such loathing I don't know if I can even appreciate CGI as much as I used to. The Luddite in me wants to go back to the days of movies having practical effects; things with true artistry that look like you can actually interact with them, because they ARE real.

I know there are a lot of different Peak edits out there that feature "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. This one, however, brought legitimate tears to my eyes.

I love vaporwave; it's a lot of the music I listen to. But sometimes I wonder if listening primarily to vaporwave is affecting how I view life in general. I've always thought of it as an intensely sarcastic genre of music, and considering the firm anti-capitalist stance I've been taking -

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

tapping the sign

Finding another "AI" artist on Instagram (who is lying), with more than 80k followers. How to verify this is AI? - post every day and sometimes the same illustration with three propositions (midjourney) - incoherences in the background - differents art style in the past - account created after 2022

I'm so tired of looking up organizational techniques for my AuDHD and getting recommended videos by business majors with undiagnosed depression and the personality of a cybertruck. "Dopamine detox" my ass...

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

I've nearly hit the 5000 video limit to my "Watch Later" list. I figured I'd try to delete as many videos as I can to start "culling the herd", but I'm interested in too many damn things. So I've got a slew of instructions/video essays I wanna watch and I have no idea how to trim it down!

Normally I'm nervous about cis-gendered white dudes who decide to make tech-related ideas their personality, but this particular video looks at least mildly interesting to me.

Anyways about that USAID funding, Mr. Foreword to AIDS in America Writer:

remember this Alan Moore wisdom: “…you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. You have to do these things completely and purely without fear, without desire. Because things that we do without lust of result are the purest actions we shall ever take.”

To the man who has driven me absolutely insane in more ways than one, I hope to experience many, many, MANY more years of bliss and chaos than the 11 we've already shared together. Happy anniversary, @catarsisol.satan.social! 🐻💚🦊
