According to my parents, the first words I said were something like, “Mama, Dada, I never asked to be here and now you condemn me to this life of pain.”

If I was a homicide detective any time there was a dead bald guy I would say looks like someone ate his hair too. It’s a sick world

If I caught the scent of a delicious pie cooling on a windowsill I wouldn't float towards it helplessly. I would continue on to whatever business I had that day

It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they hanged jeff epstein, and I had no idea what I was doing in New York

Transformational!

Position #3: it’s a plagiarism machine that wouldn’t exist without mass-scale flagrant theft, potential economic calamity, environmental calamity, and the social concerns (deepfakes, CSAM, spam psychological damage etc) far outweigh whatever “transformational” features users in position #2 see

Golly, how awful for them.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

Why did I see Tim Hortons coffee at the supermarket? They have their tentacles everywhere

The world is so filled with beauty and wonder and I feel very strongly both that it should be a kinder place to live in and that it is within our power to make it as such

Stop walking like that

City streets, a winepress, pulleys, spinning tops, a ray fish, curdled milk: some of the images used by anatomist Andreas Vesalius (who died #onthisday in 1564) to explain the workings of the human body. Marri Lynn explores: https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/vesalius-and-the-body-metaphor #OTD

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

you aren’t “caked up” you have lead poisoning

sometimes i delete a post because i've grown as a person in those 45 seconds

I think this is what frustrates me the most about mask discourse: There's an acceptable middle ground of "wear one when you're sick" that both sides have decided is unacceptable despite being a reasonable position. I did it going to Walgreens yesterday, it's really not a big deal.

I actually liked the book Jack Torrance had been writing out at the Overlook Hotel. I thought it was pretty neat

The people behind the inflated protests are performing a monumental service to democracy & peace in the US. The Regime wants riots, but these animal characters are not only an effective protest, grabbing attention & mocking ICE, they seem to reduce the risk of violent protests. It's perfect.

Master of horror Stephen King has two new movies out about walking and running

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

Whatever happened to a kiss from a regular woman

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment. An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action. A disinformation machine as our journalism fails. A bias machine as fascism takes root. A job killer in a cost of living crisis.
