Utterly agree, but at least we’re at the age where we don’t care about it any more.

Anyway, SNAP should be universal. Just like school lunches in NYC. Not everyone needs it to survive but everybody gets it, no means testing.

There should also be a lot fewer regulations on what you can buy with SNAP and discounts, not bans, on hot prepared foods.

It’s better than 4, even with its lower technical qualities, it’s at least trying for something. Watched “New Nightmare” last night, finishing off the 4K boxset and it’s utterly pristine!

Inside you there are two wolves. One wolf wants to start a conversation over lunch that begins "Did you hear what Kim Kardashian fucking said this week?" and the other wolf wants to put a fucking gun in its mouth for even knowing what the fuck Kim Kardashian fucking said this week.

A reminder that the original Hallowe'en jack o' lanterns date back to 18th century Ireland if not earlier, were based on a shady boozy blacksmith called Stingy Jack who cheated the devil & was trapped between 2 worlds, were carved from turnips and looked like this:

It’s a sign of the times that looking at my Letterboxd I literally seem to be watching nothing but horror movies. I find it soothing.

Immortality is a child's answer to death anxiety, not a real thing with which humanity will ever have to contend. No king's alchemist ever granted him eternal life, and it isn't going to start happening now just because of Computer.

I just spent 10 minute trying to convert decimal to binary in a networking exam only to discover the correct answer has a typo.
How? Just, how?

The scary thing is that I'm sure there are AI weirdos who look at this and think "We cracked it!"

This makes my skin want to crawl off my body. It is profoundly wrong. It's so deeply unnatural and unpleasant on a human level.

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

There’s no need to respect someone who constantly engages in bad faith. They’ve given away any validly they had and it only gives them some. Just ignore them like a Boomer parent ignores their children.

The brutal reality is that America is a place where having a job—even two or three jobs—doesn't guarantee that your most essential human needs will be met.

And now it's a place where millions of families are losing food assistance the same month as Thanksgiving.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.
