Signs should be copies of the Constitution & everyone should sing the preamble from Schoolhouse Rock.

Wish I'd kept that audio clip i had on a previous phone of Charlton Heston yelling at the end of the movie.
"SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!!!!"

That was a fantastic soundtrack. And the only Let It Go song I think of when folks talk about disney musical toons.

Who else besides me is infringing on Mr. Blake's copyright by using his Tiger Tiger art as a screensaver? And commiserates with the botched stripes in the middle? Watercolors can be tricky.

So generous of her to make a video to reassure us when she's not feeling her best. And still grieving.

I've got a theory: THE BEEKEEPER became a hit because it was the only piece of media to acknowledge the nonstop scam calls and grift emails we're inundated with. And since no one in power is doing anything about it, we put our hopes in Statham.

They're making a sequel to 'The Beekeeper'
When you can’t get the government to do anything about scams, turn to Jason Statham.

The Yankees are on the brink of going home. I am tumescent. I cannot be a tormented but loyal fan of the Baltimore Orioles and be anything less.

Also, Canada deserves something nice. We've been assholes to them for a while now.

Can you find out how many of our tax dollars are being spent on the J01N 1CE ad campaign?

Back on April 2, Speaker Johnson swore in 2 House Republicans - during a pro forma session - who were elected the day before. Anyone who says Adelita Grijalva D-AZ can only be sworn in when the House is back and voting is lying to you.

Oh yes...all the books. All the movies. Might have to watch Hitchcock's Rope for the umpteenth time.

Reminds me of old logo for UK TV production company, Thames below. But MUCH prettier.

It's not nitpicking. I am so tired of ignorant folks just gibbering. Now some other idiot is gonna say it...and another. Then we literate few will be told we're wrong about the f'n English language again by a passle of knuckleheads.

The "AI" responses that Google gives about me and my work are consistently error-prone, which I know because I am me. If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.

I’m surprised you don’t use ai answer engines in research you currently do with Google

Because I am currently in a nice sterile room having my spine rebuilt so I can punt again, I ask you to think healing thoughts. Not for me, but for this sad and turmoil-pressed world. And if you are so moved, to do one thing that makes life better for someone.
See you on the other side.

Tell me that's not AI? Last time a human said a sentence like that was in a Dickens novel.

Article. I can read faster than any YouTuber can speak, even with the playback speed cranked up to comical levels.

THAT SAID, article writers these days need fucking EDITORS they spend whole paragraphs FAFFING ABOUT before they get to the point IT'S CALLED THE INVERTED FUCKING PYRAMID MY DUDES

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

@scalzi.com @tkingfisher.com @theauthorguy.bsky.social So David Bottoms won the Walt Whitman award in 1980 for his book "Shooting Rats at the Bibb County Dump." Is this inflation? 1/2

We named one in our yard Spotify. Cuz he's got all those spots on his breast & sings 8 kajillion different songs. Oddly in only 2 (sometimes 3) reps each before moving on. Astounding mimics. And out state bird!

I sent my husband flowers at work once. Let's just say there are better ways to say you're sorry about an argument than having your spouse mercilessly ribbed for a good long while.
