I deleted my reddit account a while back, now I just browse with no account. The algorithm just makes wild guesses on me sometimes. Today I was reminded that there are massive clusters of people on that website who are still living in 2009.

Maybe the reason I get so much second-hand embarrassment when I see posts like this (where some guy is willfully misinterpreting media in an attempt to humiliate the author for no good reason) is that, as a former internet funnyman critic, I used to do it all the time, and I really regret that.

English is a strange language.

I think I'm the only person who monitors the Spotify charts closely enough to notice a potentially huge single rising up the charts, it's almost in the top 50 and I'm curious to see how far it can go. Can find nothing about the artist, White Noise Radiance, I don't get how there's so little coverage

No, Google, I did not mean that.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

this is why you should *never* hit someone with an rpg. it’s dangerous, it’s shitty, and it’s wrong

Good to see Billie Eilish finally win one

Something I've noticed about AI LLM casual text that I don't know if anyone else has pointed out: redudnant use of quotations. ChatGPT doesn't quite get metaphors, so it puts quotes around figurative text all the time. Shit like: if the ground looks "wet," it might be black ice

I find it funny that Todd consistently calls it "moonbeam daydream," like his brain is in self defense mode, forcing him to remember a slightly better version of the lyric

Ok some of you guys gotta pick a different hate name than Trumpstein I know it's supposed to be an Epstein thing but it Does Not Hit the Ears Comfortably

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

In case anyone wanted Lewis Capaldi updates, he's doing BetterHelp ads now.

Just realized "you got me kissin' thе ground of your sanctuary" was probably Alex Warren's attempt at a double entendre about eating pussy

2026 music predictions

farther/further is an annoying word because it's got two spellings but neither of them look quite right

I just realized in a call with my girlfriend that "family heirloom" is a tongue twister. Say "family heirloom" 10 times fast.

Okay, Billboard has to do something about its tracking schedule because it keeps creating absurdities like this. No, Golden by Huntrix was not the "25th" biggest hit of 2025, and it most certainly wasn't smaller than Mutt. It's not even a late-in-the-year entry, THE SONG CAME OUT IN JULY

Happy Birthday, Jesus! Everything you say makes waves like a jet ski!

Merry Christmas to all the eldest daughters who were the first lambs to the slaughter so they dressed up as wolves and looked fire

What if Your Way's Better was a 10 minute long song with like 30 choruses at the end, all of which transitioned into each other via upward keychange?

Pro tip: if you ever need to explain a gap on a resume, just say you were on Epstein's island. Technically, your potential employer can't prove your name's not in one of the redacted pages.

Santa Tell Me is dumb. I appreciate approaching "I want a man for Christmas" from a different angle for once, but like... Santa is neither a mind reader nor a fortune teller. He just brings you stuff. You wouldn't ask your therapist to get you new airpods, right?

Mystical Magical gets a lot funnier when you realize it's a song about Benson Boone trying to convince a girl who's on the fence about banging him. "Stick around for more of this, baby!" His whimsical yodeling is a sincere attempt at seduction. And he sounds like he thinks he's nailing it.

I will say, this song did give me one of my favorite music-listening experiences of the year when I showed it to my girlfriend. She thought the opening was kinda cute & sweet... then the beat switched. She stared in horror for like 30 seconds, then turned to me & said "is this their Sicko Mode??"

I saw a trailer for the new SpongeBob movie a few days ago. I'm still thinking about it. They probably wrote that in 2023. In 2023 it was genius. Celebrities disappear so fast nowadays. I swear it used to be different.

Bluesky Discover tab has finally figured out that I want to see pet photos and landscapes. It still seems to think I wanna spice things up every now and then with obese furry porn, unfortunately, but it's only once every few days now. I'll give it credit for the progress.

Mario Kart World is such a sad game. I keep up with new strats and shortcuts occasionally and they're always neither impressive nor easy.

Part 2. Tomorrow. Saturday the 29th. 6pm Eastern Time. Be sure to set a reminder so you don't miss it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVT0...

I usually embrace technicalities, but it annoys me when I say I'm "American" and folks respond with "AmErIcA hAs LoTs Of CoUnTrIes, iT's TwO wHoLe CoNtInents" Man, you know which one. The one with "America" as part of the country name, for which "American" is a common shorthand and colloquialism.

Not that kind of blog, I'm afraid.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

An unironic hot take of mine: Lil Wayne single-handedly made it cool to brag about eating pussy in rap songs, and for that he's a hero

Roughly 12% of Americans going to tell YouGov that they dislike the Kkk but approve of, or have no opinion on, the Aryan Brotherhood

Do you think any football players have ever tried licking the football so the other players are scared to touch it?

Dick Cheney has passed away

I stand by my take that The Fate Of Ophelia would be 3x better if it ditched the 5th measures on each bar. Yes, the lyrics are... clunky, let's say. But the clunkiness is only so overbearing because each bar gives you a whole second and a half to process the clunk before moving onto the next thing.

This is the specific context where "the customer is always right" actually applies. "No one's buying my beautiful hats because people have bad taste," or "gamers won't pay $100 for AAA games because they're whiny babies," are just objectively bad mindsets to have if you wanna make money.

Years later, what I wanna know is why did they make Pim book both the flights AND the hotel? Hardly seems fair.

As it turns out, knowing what "niche" means is, in itself, a pretty niche interest

The cybertruck is a massive men's rights win. Finally a car that she won't take in the divorce.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.
