Looked at his playlist now that he's done and it's all Juice WRLD and someone named Zaybang

Went to letterboxd just to read fan-made Avatar reviews and it didn't disappoint. "If you're too INTIMIDATED to sit through OVER THREE HOURS of James Cameron ART, then stay home and scroll on your little SOCIAL MEDIA 👊💥🎸 The Ash People, a violent and power-hungry tribe led by the ruthless Varang–"

Teen kid next door doing yardwork, I let him borrow my earbuds and he is going OFF in every key except the right one. Mood boost.

Everything is so dumb

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

How do you “get rid” of social security without robbing everyone who paid into it? Kill them! Kill whoever will need it! Cancer is wonderful because–true story–SS can wait out whoever has it until they’re dead, then it’s moot!

I explained this excruciating trap to my friend who enjoys games but then:

No but this sucks, because despite avoiding game nights I will still get roped into a game against my will, and when I win I have to pile much grace on top of how much I did not enjoy that.

And they’ll fuckin do it again

People still kicking third party voters because they can’t productively blame the empty shell party that nuked their last load-bearing principles and couldn’t cobble a platform to beat the “oh my god that is the worst possible answer” guy. 3rd party didn’t get you those electoral college results.

Going to once again attempt Dimension 20 with the new season since it has all of our favorite people on there, but what we really need is another season of Breaking News, specifically with a lot of Amy Vorpahl.

Boulet Brothers holiday special is fine fun but the last skit really stole the show. Kate Siegel!

Tired of this surreal rhetorical assault by Paid Thought Havers muddying the water on two issues of terrible clarity: What Putin is doing is an imperialist invasion of a sovereign country. Reject and prosecute! What Zionists have *been* doing is a genocide of Palestinians. Reject and prosecute!

Made myself laugh out of desperation and now I'm moderately more awake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=he4j... I don't do podcasts but I saw this bit once before and never forgot it.

Good morning. My throat is dry and that's why the sleep part of my brain turned off at 4am and wouldn't come back. I feel and look dead. I went to take a selfie but the misery isn't even funny. my only hope to get any work done today is to do it all as early as I can.

Uncles doing rare text outreach. In-laws doing apology tours in their family chats. The goblin slayer torrents are not good and it’s getting weird.

Anyone else noticing Trump flags evaporating from the neighborhoods over the last couple of months?

True regret requires remorse -and- tangible works to right the wrongs you caused. Buyers remorse is not true remorse, you just regret that you got sold a shitty product, but you could and would buy another version of it if you can, and a lot of these voters would gladly vote for the next fascist.

As an avid observer of algorithms I think I’ve figured out part of what happened here. FB now explicitly looks for and directs posts you’re opposed to into your feed, to rage-bait engagement. So now my posts are being actively boosted into people’s feeds of who reject climate. Ha! 😄😵‍💫

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

In my 20s I took limited-run obscurebaiting techno to be part of some continuum that tests people: backpackers are the ones to pay upwards of $150 on Discogs if they miss out. Today, 40, seeing a very good album that insists on remaining difficult to get even though a vinyl rip is all over slsk:

Erika Kirk said “stop” like one of those overbullied youtube kids who don’t know how to log off. Gotta look tuff. Project strong. Might growl like a werewolf.

Giggling my fucking ass off at this silly ass shit

Correction: it’s papa bear, which is 100% more bleak as he spends the rest of the episode in agonizing fremdschamen for Father’s Day.

My wife went out–looking positively lethal–to a sapphic event where everyone huddled around whatever clique they arrived with for the whole night. Came back with her girls and said “fuck it, let’s drink” I know COVID blew apart a lot of social languages but… I dunno.

WHAT IS BABY BEAR DOING WITH THE KINSEY REPORT

I had some time to myself recently, and a stack of movies to revisit during that. I did none of it, opting instead to touch grass. Why wasn’t I even partway in the mood for films I ostensibly loved? Days later, my wife put on a Donald Duck xmas cartoon, and I understood: all I want is Looney Tunes

If Liam Neeson is gonna narrate some quack documentary we should pay Jesse Plemons 30 billion dollars to read things for two hours like “the earth is clearly round” “you should eat a healthy diet of a variety of foods and not just wet beef” & “do not suntan your butthole, it does not need that”

Just a reminder that Shaw Bros. is sharing a lot of movies in excellent transfers that have been hard to find in the US and Canada. They're all free and you can find them here: www.youtube.com/@ShawBrosCin... #cinejanes

Everyone’s trying to clown on the street fighter movie trailer but it looks like it immediately recognizes the dumb fun within and will surprise folks. I will be seeing that shit for free though.

New HEALTH goes 100mph early on, then spins its wheels after a small break. Seems like one of those "you knew this ticket before you bought it" deals.

Conservatives being shocked at the logical endpoint of their ideological commitments would be funny if it wasn't so costly to everyone who cares about democracy, equal rights, common decency, etc.

It’s a weird thing because people also project everything they hate about establishment Dems on the Black electeds as well so they’re always discussed in something like a quantum state.

Met my new supervisor and almost immediately had to admit that I’m not aware of any AI integration project, nor will I help with any such project, then talked shit about AI for the next 45 seconds.

Go one earlier and put fall of the Berlin Wall first, otherwise basically this. MMMMaybe replace Diana with the “Information Superhighway”

Possible goal if I live to retire: show up at comedy nights in the same club for decades and be the nut to crack.

You’re going to tell me that the most technologically agile demographic are going to know about the social media they’re banned from, and somehow not find an “open secret” way to not only crack in but outmaneuver everyone with the same niche subcultures they ALWAYS have??

I simply reject that Othering is a fundamental human need, as opposed to a base impulse and demonic temptation that must be resisted with all the tools of civilization

Lawmakers and bible thumpers don't want you to understand the people they're demonizing are doing more good for society than they ever would

I am fed up with the simultaneous bouts of arrogance and ineptitude coming from the tech sector, which is full of chronic bullshitters who ragebuild an hierarchy of confused wants, and will turn the world to static for it.

Finally saw the Dragula finale, and: the safe option turned out to be the correct option, weirdly enough. I had my “what if”, I had my “wouldn’t it be amazing”, but really: it was just their time.

Friend grief is so elliptical.

getting my ass beat because I yawned a little too irritably at that pussy palace song.

Palantir guy grinding his jaw sideways trying to think of that shitty fucking woke fucking shit fucking WORD that "everyone likes to use."

Soon as the drama starts on any episode of Dragula

Look at that glue job on the bottom. They said “Typeface? You get DIN”

They're going to find a way. It's right there in the fucking text, but they're going to find a way.

-Who are you? I'm the enchanting Wizard of Rhythm.
