only mine’s broke down now I’ve no one to love

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

first day back at work ever see that scene in scanners where that dude’s head blew up

thinking of this exchange again for no reason

Dead Ringers (1988) Director David Cronenberg

why tf am I awake

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

It’s interesting how Grok’s “Apology” was covered uncritically by the press while Grok saying the nude images it produces are “just pure, unfiltered fun” is shrugged off. Literally the exact same source.

I’m writing poetry and reading more about Bowie

This poem by Gwendolyn Brooks continues to be an anchor on hard days.

I didn’t get to watch any movies this whole two week break besides the five hour Kill Bill thing I went to

how are we coping with an existential case of the Sunday scaries, fam

the year of the horse

Ah, the progress of history

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

“we are each other’s harvest”

god this hits hard “A world fades as he sings… What was it like, he asks on behalf of the lost kids at the Marquee, to have lived in such a place? And what will be there when it's gone?”

Some, peradventure, have on them the guilt of premeditated and contriv’d murder; some, of beguiling virgins with the broken seals of perjury; some, making the wars their bulwark, that have before gor’d the gentle bosom of peace with pillage and robbery.

OpenAI is now facing a total of 8 wrongful death lawsuits from grieving families....who claim that ChatGPT, in particular, the GPT-4o version, drove their loved ones to suicide. Soelberg’s complaint also alleges that company executives knew the chatbot was defective before it pushed it to the public

"I'm not scared of Israel. I'm scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. Greta thunberg

This looks like something Maj. Garland Briggs has an extensive file on

today I might just read about late period Bowie and experience the crashing forever of now

yesterday I felt like I spiraled out. tomorrow I go back to work. I feel like a ghost, someone who can’t help anyone, who can’t affect any kind of meaningful change for anyone, not co-workers, not friends, not family, not society. I just say the words, I make characters dance, nobody really cares.

"You're just in this crashing now place... trapped in this terrible little rowboat on this sea of chaos and anxiety and terror."

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

The Trump regime repeatedly lied to Congress about their intention to pursue regime change in Venezuela. They didn’t get Congressional approval for regime change, but did it anyway. Demanding a briefing in response is both pathetic and nonsensical. Calling for impeachment is the obvious response.

Whenever I correctly point out that there is no opposition party in US politics, the usual suspects swarm to screech about Dems having no power. If these folks are correct (they are not), then they should BUILD POWER. They aren't doing that.

I don't think you should be able to bet on war crimes. That's just my opinion.

Oh look the thing all Democrats should be saying and aren't.

This insane asshole has been doing nothing but crimes since the day he took office, you're the only branch of government with the power to remove him and you're not even going to try because it might not work? Why are you even there? To feel important and do insider trading?

ain’t no “bringing them democracy” to it, never has been, never will be

We cannot stop an illegal war against Venezuela

Trying to distract myself with story research and brainstorming. It’s only partially working. It involves looking at ye olde canterbury tales, the very roots of thee english canon

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

There's your Nobel Peace Prize winner, btw. Hats off to everyone involved. Great job.

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

pupdate: let’s join sweet lady Riley for her reaction

happy fuckin new year
