It's not that AI is useless. It's that AI is useful like asbestos was useful.

The only positive thing about an open office plan is the ability to aggressively eavesdrop.

Thank you to @kavehmd.bsky.social and @arghavansallesmd.medsky.social for sharing a great discussion on House of Pod. It's been hard to find Iranian voices this weekend and I was happy to hear yours today.

So, removing tyrannical governments by force is all good now? Interesting.

This is all so fucking deranged.

Eight seasons of Drive to Survive and I still hate that they overdub a fake announcer guy. Nothing personal to him, but we know you weren't really there, my dude.

solidarity with all marginalized people in Kansas. you are not alone. together we are going to build the better world we all deserve.

Inshallah

Maybe it'll happen on live TV.

The players who brought their stuffies to the team picture have good vibes.

this is the saddest a bunch of people have ever looked while receiving a free stoat plushie

if Canada wins I am going to poke barely perceptible holes in your bags of milk. I am going to befriend the dog from The Littlest Hobo and give him a good home. I am going to interview various CFL executives and casually mention that I think going to 4 downs is a good idea

Megan Keller broke their ankles and ripped their hearts out so it's pretty nice that they can go to the doctor for free

Hm, so it is possible to hold people accountable for their crimes. Interesting concept.

Yet another house issue this week that I didn't want to deal with/pay for but here we are. I'm lucky to own my home, but being the only one responsible for everything sucks. I realized my house is over 70 years old. How? The 70s were like 25 years ago. Aren't old houses supposed to be charming?

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

Love to see 23XI get the big win after last year's nonsense. I really like Reddick. Good for him!

A driver absolutely dog cussing the team plan during this race is funny. The extremely timid "10-4" in reply is even funnier. So much time in this race (and season) for nonsense to happen. Chill, Bubba 😂.

The anhedonia and depression have been tough lately. The weather is nice, the big race is on, and I have one more day off work. I played Stellaris for the first time this week and it scratches the obsessive itch, but I don't know if that's a good thing. 30 hours in 2+ days says bad. 🙃

An expensive cocktail and sick seats at a show are a nice cap to an otherwise disappointing Vegas trip. Still a good time.

Awake at an unpleasant hour on vacay. Now obsessed with the El Paso NOTAM. Why can't anything be normal anymore?

I've been so immersed (obsessed) with Fallout: New Vegas over the past year (playing and watching ManyATrueNerd streams) that I geeked out seeing Nellis from the plane. New Vegas is such a lived in place and I want to visit all the inspirations.

Vegas is an amazing place for second breakfast.

For someone who doesn't like to be around crowds (or just people), it's weird that I spend my vacations in airports and casinos.

Second straight year a Drake has gotten absolutely humiliated at the Super Bowl

oh that Ring ad is diabolical

Did he give the Grammy to Liam??

Let's go

Sunday morning feel-good movie: Sisu

The yearly Vegas pilgrimage is almost here. That city is so damn weird and I love it. My favorite things are drinking whiskey at inappropriate times and spreading the #UglyDogs good word by sharing stories about the sled dogs on my t-shirts. Coming home with money is ideal, too.

My birthday gift to myself. A nice stack of odd cards to rip. Allen & Ginter is always fun. The fact there was a Dune hobby box was something I couldn't pass up. The Game of Thrones one has guaranteed relics. And I'll always support Indycar.

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

I'm living the "When you accidentally become important at work" meme. Spending the whole day prepping for, participating in, or recovering from meetings might grind me into dust. I would like to do my actual work, please.

I know posting something from a god damn Star Wars show may strike you as unspeakably asinine at a time like this, but it really is insane just how well this one piece of prose captures the reality of the moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQd4...

If the state can label a law-abiding citizen doing nothing but exercising their rights as a domestic terrorist – in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary – then no one (regardless of political persuasion) is safe.

Sunday morning movie(s) this week: The Hunger Games. Brilliant, fucked up dystopian sci-fi. No matter how bad it gets, and it will get extremely bad, the fascists always get what's coming to them.

"look to the helpers" THEY'RE MURDERING THE HELPERS

Love and respect to the heroes chucking the fascist's tear gas back at them.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

I never understand why people who tout their moderate and centrist credentials aren't directly asked about this.

I hope the Pope is watching live.

Seeing these Guardian Helmets makes me want a new version of NFL Blitz.

Continuing my "Watch gory nonsense in the morning" trend with 28 Weeks Later. I liked the first half of 28 Days, but the back half was a skip. I may have liked it differently on another day, but it was too much yesterday. Also, why do streamed early 2000s movies look like they're from the 70s?
