Donald Trump sucked Metroid’s dick

This is the type of thing I believed in my teenage years. I then spent fifteen years or so thinking it was massively more complex and nuanced and also humdrum than this, and now - having watched this shitshow for about thirty five years - I have concluded that I was correct when I was about 17.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally. And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like: saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3 and a worker tier whose emails are like: Dear Jim, First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

It is so weird that Charles Dance plays Victor Frankenstein’s dad in two separate movie adaptations of Frankenstein ten years apart

They should recast the bald brothers in Selling Sunset with Jim Rash and Anthony Carrigan

i've tried talking to chatgpt a few times (because people are always like "how do you know it sucks if you haven't tried it) and the thought I can never get over is "damn this thing does not know shit"

“parasocial” is short for “parade socialism”, where the workers own the means of production and use that to fund parades

It was crazy when Worf’s brother wanted to die so bad that Worf incapacitated him and changed his face and erased his memory and gave him to a new family

It would be so sick if we got some camel taxis

I think we need to reframe things and refer to any software that intentionally negatively affects user experience to further some ulterior motive as "malicious software"

Standing on the shoulders of giantesses

I can’t wait to see Jeremy Allen sweat over the writing of “Santa Claus is Coming To Town”

Gyrosse Pointe Blank

who called it “watchmen” and not “squid game”? alan moore, probably. he wouldn’t even get that reference back then

“-Zilla” is a suffix that means “lizard with the power of”, so Godzilla: lizard with the power of God FileZilla: lizard with the power of files Bridezilla: lizard with the power of bride Mozilla: lizard with the power of Mo

The idea of Bari as elite media operator is out. The idea of her as Younger Kathy Geiss is in.

Got a sweet tea at Popeyes and they straight up served it hot

No I understood your wavedashing reference but frankly I'm insulted that you would clock me as someone who knows what that is

the only real way to minimize the chances of a knife attacker in your train car is to support policies that grant workers good livelihoods and dignity, and ensure universal access to physical and mental healthcare. healthy happy people don't go around stabbing people. design for health and happiness

If someone can figure out a way for me to listen to music while editing a podcast, you will have created a breakthrough so innovative that you will sit in heaven for eternity at the right hand of the father. Good luck.

Saw a lady on TikTok who sincerely didn’t realize that the bluegrass legend that inspired her to pick up a banjo was once a comedian: Steve Martin

I know this is the idea behind an award-winning blockbuster hit movie, but they were actually pretty mean to the Creature From the Black Lagoon, all things considered

really satisfying to look at a dog and go “dog”. babies tore with that one

Actually Frankenstein was the name of the scientist. I, the person correcting you on this trivial point, am the monster.

mitochondrial eve: we can all relate

Somehow, Mr. Boogedy returned

Electronic Altruism/Effective Arts

i think one of the big lessons i’ve learned as an adult is that being or feeling correct is not actually worth much in most situations

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Somebody needs to say it: if you hire a truck covered in an LED screen of you telling me to vote for you, I will avoid the rest of your campaign and I will not vote for you

Hi there, Discord here. You may have noticed we changed your notification sound without telling you. This is because it's Halloween themed, but it does not sound different enough to communicate that, so instead it just sounds like your computer might be broken. Have fun!

The playbook for the Trump Admin: 1. overreach for weirdly racist or petty reasons that impact trade policy 2. it makes everything more expensive and doesn't fix the stated problem. 3. everyone on like five dedicated hobby forums gets mad

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering
