There are nights I still think about a blonde Rickenbacker bass I could have bought in the summer of 1991 and didn’t, and it still fucking breaks my heart. It was a beaut, Clark. #TheOneThatGotAway

I honestly don’t know that she’s gonna run for Governor. Something…strange is afoot.

Look, I'd be impressed if it could just explain the whole 6-7 thing, but otherwise hard pass here.

goddamnit How DARE these jackasses profane the name of the Greatest Kentuckian of All Time. Nuzzi couldn't get to Thompson's neighborhood as a thinker or writer if she lived to 100.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

God has a particularly wicked sense of humor.

“Even business leaders once portrayed as liberal visionaries were swept up in the rising tide of American fascism, becoming some of its most enthusiastic public admirers. Their conversions served as powerful and useful propaganda tools for the regime.”

And now I want to do another watch-through. This show was so overlooked. The cast had insane chemistry.

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

So let me see if I have this straight. Mace was resisting White House pressure to NOT release the Epstein Files because Trump was protecting women and the White House was trying to keep people from knowing this and so she was resisting their pressure because she wanted people to know how good he is?

The real Silicon Valley commentary was having a funder be like "you have all the time and money in the world, go nuts," only to suddenly pull the rug and say "actually, now you have to solve immortality for me personally in two weeks or you're cut off." This is how modern monsters are created.

“Your account has been Temporarily Suspended by Bluesky Trust and Safety for wishing Mythical Harms on a Right-Wing Billionaire who apparently didn’t pay attention in school.”

I would say something about preparing to be entertained by watching Bezos enjoy the mythical Prometheus’ fate, but the mods here have gotten a little overzealous lately.

Presidents do not get to put a special signifier tag on policy. There’s no Franchise Player designation in politics, Scott.

True Story: I once got mugged by a grackle outside an H-E-B in Austin.

holy shit

OMG

AI is a cargo cult for the myth of linear progress.

Just remembering how Dixie Flatline's payment for the Straylight job was to have his sim erased.

This man clearly understands nothing about economics. Holy shit.

Had to stop for a minute and check if this was real, ngl

If you see this, QTP with a sword ⚔️

It just occurred to me: what Bluesky leadership would very much like to happen as a result of their "civility" measures is for the Skyline to look a lot like "Pluribus." Fuck that.

I see a lot of folks on my skyline focusing on what Patton Oswalt said, and Kendzior's sometimes erratic behavior, and subtly justifying Bluesky T&S's actions. This isn't really about what was said or how strange people can be. That comes for all of us eventually. 1/

I have been dreaming of this day for over five years. Proctorio’s lawsuit against me is forever over. I’ve won my life back! linkletter.org/update-33-th...

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

Is…is Bluesky management saying that people who defend pedophiles and justify their actions *shouldn’t* be, you know, placed feet first in a wood chipper? Or just that it’s not “civil” to say so? IOW, do Bluesky’s leaders stand with Megyn Kelly? Seems like that would be important for us to know.

Bluesky “Trust and Safety” out here banning Patton Oswalt, Link, Sarah Kendzior, and on and on while right wingers roam around spouting Horrors free as you please. Bsky mgmt is telling us whose side they’re on. We should listen.

Your periodic reminder that Dazzler of the X-Men was originally designed by John Romita, Sr. to be Black and resemble Grace Jones: unpublishedxmen.blogspot.com/2013/07/dazz...

Inside Higher Ed should be ashamed of itself for publishing this bullshit. Consultant should be embarrassed for publishing Gemini output as an article. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

Anyone surprised by this has no idea much Michael Caine sold out during his career.

This is the perfect movie for our present moment, just as Bugonia is. "I'm not gonna sugar-coat it: you're in for a really weird night." youtu.be/gsNA-pYy9LY?...

College Debate has a lot to answer for.

There will be at least one last Fleetwood Mac mini-tour to rake in the tall dollar. Look, they're a Top 5 band for me, but those guys are all just unapologetic capitalists, despite the hippie vibes. They lost most of their Rumours cash to cocaine. They'll do the tour.

At a certain point, Sydney Sweeney is gonna get a reputation for being box-office poison, which is a shame. I worry she just doesn't have the right agent.

But wait: what if we *put some AI* on it, Rachel. That'll fix everything.

I can hope that one side-effect of the release of those Epstein emails would disabusing the Rubes of the notion that rich people are necessarily smart and worthy of leadership in our society. But I suspect we're too high on techbro Dunning-Kruger AI spliffs to even care at this point.

JFC, does Disney have any idea how much this is going to cost them, and that they can't possibly charge a large enough subscription fee in the current market? Like, young parents are not going to pay $200-300/month for little Jenny to make bad Frozen fanfic. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

Disney is just completely creatively bankrupt at this point.

Mary Shelly lost her virginity on her mom's grave, facilitated a lesbian wedding, and carried her dead husband’s heart around in a bag, so, yeah, I agree, let’s return to traditional values.

Context, per Kendzior

This is a reference to a fucking *Johnny Cash lyric* you jackasses. As bad and as context-ignorant as content creation using LLMs is, moderation using LLMs is going to be 1000x worse.
