ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN EVERGREEN SKEET!

The Sharks played a pretty good 58 minutes tonight. What's that, hockey games are 60 minutes long?

You cannot steal a digital asset (unless you steal the physical media it resides on and there are no backups). People who use the term "steal" in such a context are either trying to manipulate you or have themselves been manipulated. It was true back in the Napster days, and it's true now.

This was my PA speaker. Someone said play music. And I'm like fuck yes. And for the first hour it was Bad Bunny. I'm a 55 yo straight white dude. Tonight I got to be a Latin DJ and it was the best night ever.

Another block because someone I like used the term "AI slop". *sigh*. Even if you think AI has problems, "AI slop" just signifies that you prefer to use loaded terms to manipulate others.

How did the generation which grew up with Napster become scolds about copyright?

I feel like I am incapable of being myself in the current climate. Apparently the only options in 2025 are "fascist" or "ignorant luddite".

If you’re an ICE agent (or someone familiar with their upcoming raids) who wants to talk, especially about Broadview, I am mandawritesthings at proton dot me.

I'm doing some work at my computer and, out of nowhere, my Google Home speaker decided to blare this at me: youtu.be/xMo7ugWudCA I feel so threatened right now.

I'm a former season ticket holder, so the Sharks email me with invitations to season openers with free tickets. I almost did it this year, but then I noticed that it's a WWE theme game. WWE involvement in 2025 is a bad look. Also, why no Bluesky presence when the @sjbarracuda.bsky.social do?

1. More of this. 2. It's a little on the nose that a funeral procession drove by as we watched the death of the American Constitution.

Drat. Just got called out by JMS. FML.

When asked what policy he would prescribe in response to AI, @rbreich.bsky.social said Universal Basic Income. That's the 3-word correct answer. It's not the only thing we need, but it's the core. It's the foundation to build on. The more people say the same, the better. Mention UBI over and over.

You can tell a lot about a person by whether they think that "dick wolf" refers to: A. An unfortunate term used in a Penny Arcade strip B. The creator of one of their favorite TV series. C. Their favorite kind of art. For the record, I am A (but I bet you all thought I was C, huh).

Something I am wrestling with is I've never been pursued by someone who wants me. This is true both romantically and professionally - I've always been the one having to chase down something or someone. It's tiring, and it's responsible for why I'm so broken.

@psychopete.bsky.social has started a list to help people out. substack.com/inbox/post/1... If you're in a blocked market, please consider watching for a little bit, noting down who's advertising, and submitting their info here. Let's see if we can get the regressives to divest from our local media!

None can love freedom heartily, but good men: the rest love not freedom, but license: which never hath more scope, or more indulgence than under tyrants. -Milton, The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates (1649)
