Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

It is terrible out so I am making some chili. So far I have refrained from touching my eyes after dicing jalapenos, so I got that goin' for me.

This is a great article that reminds me a bit of "A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear," where the people who are why we can't have nice things in society attempt to form their own.

Also introduced me to the word "caitiff," which describes a lot of these assholes.
White-nationalist homestead communities gather the most antisocial people with the most corrosive beliefs—and, somehow, it all goes wrong. Henry Luzzatto writes on past and present miserable experiments in far-right communal living.

In the classic literary piece Elvis is Everywhere author Mojo Nixon posited that Michael J. Fox was the anti-Elvis, the one human lacking even a particle of the Elvis spirit. In this 50-part essay I will explain how Elon Musk not only has no Elvis in him, he creates negative Elvis particles...

Stop making phones thinner with each generation. Nobody wants that.

But sure, blame the people not buying phones for the economy sucking. Same playbook as the oil industry pinning "carbon footprint" on indviduals instead of their own actions.

Rewatch of all #LowerDecks episodes complete, though I have a few with commentary to rewatch again.

Talk about a show that should have had six seasons and a movie, but I still have hope. Not done hearing about Boimler, Mariner, Tendi, Rutherford, T'Lyn and the rest. And more Olly! We need more Olly

Couldn't figure out why I am so tired today, and then I remembered I had several vaccinations yesterday.

D'oh! And I was even there when it happened!

Anyway this Saturday nap was brought to you by COVID and flu shots. Get yours today!

Oh hey, a live-action Gundam movie! Twenty-something me would be so stoked!

Well, that was a fun ride while it lasted

There is a new update to #Pikmin4 and I have been inspired to pick it up again.

But i started a new game from scratch because I can't remember half of what is going on. Decor Pikmin are great!

Google has decided that you either feed all your data into their plagiarism machine, or you can't have half the stuff that used to differentiate GMail from every other service.

I should have bailed when they got rid of Inbox. It's been entirely downhill from there.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we honor our trans siblings lost to fatal violence and their impact.

We will not stop fighting until trans people are not just able to survive, but thrive and live safe, full, and joyful lives. May our collective grief, reflection, and action lead to a better future.

I would like to share something.

A year ago, Trump won and I was furious and scared so I sent a text to a few of local women I knew and asked them to join me at a meeting and invite like-minded women they knew. A few showed up, then a few more. We became a group called The Salon and we meet monthly

Listened to Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue" on the way home from the gym. Love it, but I am also mad at the people who made that piece of music synonymous with United Airlines.

I just wanna listen to the horn section, not visualize UA planes flying through the air!

The alt text on this is sheer perfection, and the replies have me wheezing.
How do we feel about double mustache. The hot new style? The peak of manhood?

OMG what a deal!

You know you want a Kaiju Soccer League hoodie and a Little Beirut t-shirt. Those two garments are fundamental to my wardrobe now!
