Partial vindication for my new pal Rustem. All good buddy but we can't be glancing at emails instead of reading them and hallucinating what's probably there. Imagine what a shambles that would be. If we did that.

FYI: I let raindrop.io know I wasn't thrilled about their AI bullshit, and minutes later I got a curt email from the dev and my account with all bookmarks was deleted. I didn't ask for it to be deleted, they just nuked it in what I'm forced to assume was a hissy fit. DO NOT USE THIS APP.

Wow, pretty damning stuff

it’s cool that if i attempt to explain any of this to my offline friends i will be branded a lunatic

Musical genre called Grover House.

Musical genre called crimewave.

You know what kind of people I like? People who have little funerals for roadkill. Not in like a weird way but I mean they'll get of their bike to give a lil squirrel some dignity in the end. I don't have that impulse at all and I think it's so sweet that there's people who do. That's nice.

INSANE how every time I decide to check out a random episode of an old British comedy show, the very first thing I see is a man in a dress. Fifth time I think! I'm not mad or anything, I get it, it's panto, but holy shit it sure is a lot.

You Wouldn't Put A Hyperpop Artist In A Jar

telling my adorable daughter i'm not putting the drawing she made on the fridge because it's toddlerslop

Why is he telling it like that? Why are they both chuckling so much? Why is everything creepy and wet? mah-saaaage mehsahge

Not to bring down the vibe but whatever happened to Neil Gaiman? Did we kill him? Because I hear Twitter has a job opening.

X is hiring a “great lothario” at $40 an hour to teach Grok “the pleasures of the flesh”

If you answer “No” you get an invitation to Mar-a-Lago

I can tell you this is a VERY good deal, you should check it out so you can be cool like me.

From an outside perspective, she always seemed to do exactly what she wanted. She quit SNL because she didn't want to live in New York. She had warm, productive collaborative relationships that spanned dozens of years. She bet on herself and her friends. An artistic juggernaut and so, so inspiring.

Six decades

Nothing like breaking in a fresh psychologist to realize your life is genuinely just a fucking nightmare.

I fixed this Navy recruitment poster I found

I'm not like other girls (I'm a guy)

They cannot for the life of them take a picture of this man where he isn't either Revolution Ken or a cheeky little shooty patooty, I love it so much.

Not only did I find plum tea, my neighbor also dropped by to give me a handful of loose weed buds for my birthday, which is in May, so fair to say things are picking up around here.

"HEY WHY WAS I REMOVED FROM THE SECRET GROUP THAT THE FBI SAY THEY WANT TO ARREST MEMBERS OF? THE ONE I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT? WOW. ANOTHER BLUNDER BY THE LEFT"

One horror trope I'm over is decapitated heads perched on top of something that isn't a human body but vaguely resembles one, like maybe an animal or a mannequin. Doesn't even matter anymore how rotten the head is, that's how over it I am.

I watched that Aronofsky AI trailer and I'll say this, it's truly amazing that for the low low price of all our water, electricity and GPUs, genAI can manage to make something that lacks both the craftsmanship and the heart of Tommy Wiseau's "The Room"

there are a lot of good and obvious reasons for “why AI will never be art” but it really just comes down to “the people who would use AI to make their art have nothing worth saying”. you don’t have to listen to them because they didn’t bother listening to themselves there’s nothing to process there

Robert Wun is unmatched. So good.

The immigrant shredder we built as a bipartisan exercise in good governance is unfortunately voice-activated, specifically the voice of anyone saying “don’t shred immigrants.” If non-immigrants don’t want to be shredded, they should avoid making the shredder feel bad. I won’t vote to turn it off btw

This is my favorite show of all time by the way

you ever just type

Bold move for a digital goods distributor to give the thumbs up to stealing digital goods. Lars Ulrich didn't die for this.

One more thing Jack

Some other statements:

Mom: poor Greta, I just don't understand how kids can cut off their own parents the second they move out Me: well she sabotaged her teen daughter's birth control and moved in a new guy every three months and there isn't a cult she hasn't joined and also she's a horrible racist Mom: inexplicable

Freelance writers, learn from my mistakes: Never challenge an elderly, seemingly innocent man to a kung fu fight. Many of them carry guns.

Ooooooooh this looks interesting

They're calling it the most bought and paid for government since Romania went to IKEA.

Y'know, that doesn't bother me. I kind of hope I'm in public and just notice a spreading joy, a wave of shock and elation spreading through a chattering crowd. Maybe I won't know until I start getting texts about it. Just a sort of gentle swell like a sunrise.

The problem with immediately caving under the slightest bit of pressure is that at some point you're going to come across the perfect picture and the stress of captioning it is going to break your spirit on the hobbling wheel.

It's so much easier to buy this book than it is to bake a hotplate into a cake.

(not getting likes because my Posts are bad) they must be preparing to cut over the firehose to a new relay

Monosexuals be like "only one of these people is fuckable lol I'm the default I'm normal 🤪" So unserious.

I just released a novel, and that means for the next few months I will get this question: Where and how should I buy your book in the way that helps you the most? Short version: Wherever you want, however you want. It's most important that you read it. Long version in the thread...

For the last three days my phone company's tech support keeps calling me about that support ticket that said I can't take incoming phone calls and that's the level I imagine most tech geniuses operate on.

Inability to recognize beauty and to see that there’s a component to aesthetics that transcends status signifiers are two key features of fascists and tech bros

Excellent news about my social transition
