“I am the hero of my own story,” says the unreliable narrator in my head.

A lot of exciting data center jobs coming down the pike.

Do you have army tanks ready to go in your biceps?

I wish a mothafucka would go back to living their life of quiet desperation more quietly. Like, Bro, shut up.

My audiobook just used “nonplussed” incorrectly—backwards, like Bizzaro Superman—and I had to pause and collect myself. Not with a bang, not with a whimper, but with this shit!

You can completely skip Nihilism Thursday on Bluesky. No one takes attendance.

Replicable is impossible because it was unique. Relevant, high-concept, for adults, absolutely. I don’t know who the next Karen Berger is, but that’s the key hire. Giving the right person enough room to fail a couple at bats and know their job is semi-safe is tough in media. But fingers crossed

A good friend of mine from high-school is his wife, and a life-long best friend is (one of?) his lawyer. I’ve never met him. But, on a twitter thread, I asked him to pass a hello along to his wife. He responded, she said “Jay! No way, he was a punker!” And lots of people had comments.

She’s an EXCELLENT writer on film. Her long-form work is always a good read.

‘Just a tiny sip won’t hurt,’ he says, and reposts.

Trying to social media less, he posts with a frightening level of cognitive dissonance.

So happy for you. It’s a dream of mine too. (I don’t even know how to submit.) Can you share which jokes are yours, or is that a no-no?

Finally watched Netflix’s The Sandman standalone Episode: Death: The High Cost of Living. Kirby Howell-Bapiste is wonderfully charming as Death. It wasn’t exactly the version I knew, but it left me in a good place—as the story always has—and I’m glad I‘m alive to see it.

‘They can do it, Molly,“ Jay says with hope in his heart. “We will look back at the Shohei era as Baseball’s greatest.”

Hope you’re well.

A professor on bluesky made a great point about this. We speak of the end of the Roman Empire, but no one can say exactly that ended. The Roman Republic, however, ended with Julius Ceaser.
(See: Benjamin Franklin “if you can keep it” quote.)

Now trying to think of a country that might not be. Iceland and Greenland could be adjectives? Great Britain, maybe only Britain is the noun… That’s all I got.

Re: that waffles bullshit. Huzzah, Mr. Parker!

Parker @jeffparker.bsky.social · 6d

I get that they just want to be tech nerds, I just want to be a story teller. But the time demands much more of us and our plans have already been nuked, everyone has to step up

I thought of Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies. There’s got to be a bot for that, right? Search Bluesky; there is. Added Oblique to my feed to fend off fascist doom brain. The world is upside down, if you want it.

Nice fit.

Wow, my ridiculous brain. Can’t remember my neighbor’s name. Pulled that out of thin air.

Mohammad deep fakes on Sora…wow. Expecting a fatwa on Sam Altman in 3..2..

I heard it as a child but now know it today from British crime films. Most recently heard on Slow Horses, I believe.

Read a quote attributed to Joseph Heller. Someone said of his later work that he never wrote anything better than Catch-22. His response, “Who has?”

Stephen Miller wants a Civil War and I've got fruit in my kitchen that gives off fumes trying to kill other fruit in my kitchen. Fucking Nazis
