Captioned stills from Episode 27 of Twin Peaks. In the first image, Windom Earle asks "Garland, what do you fear most in the world?". In the second, the captive Garland Briggs responds "The possibility that love is not enough."

I do not trust anything in this article on the sources of Jeffrey Epstein’s wealth. My former boss Bob Gold was apparently a major source. Bob Gold is a fabulist to the extreme. I heard him retell stories where I was at the underlying event. His tales almost never matched reality.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true
THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I'm not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history. He doesn't care about the life of the mind OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper. He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There's nothing he would die for - not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or young son. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; Trump has no fairness or piety. He's not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, "the common man"" veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war. He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn't care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he's not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them — and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn't - in a more secular key - even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Doesn't even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn't live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he's very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other people, living or dead, like him?

Generative A.I. is a product used almost entirely for fraud and porn, and they can't say that in the ads.

It's like we all have to pretend the crack pipes they sell at gas stations with the little fake flower in them aren't actually crack pipes because they're *propping up the entire stock market.*

Not only do I not want to use your new A.I. mode, I want you to stop telling me about your new A.I. mode, this is like the waiter trying to tell me the specials, but what makes them special is that the chef is blindfolded and we've started keeping roach poison in salt shakers

I have to say: football posts suck. Not funny. Just always exasperated. Hate when I get tricked into reading one. Makes me glad I don’t watch football because no one can even complain about it in a funny way.

In conclusion: PEE YEW

streaming is a reality. but truly – just moving those streams from spotify to literally any other platform? like, it actually matters

WRAP THAT, IT'S REAL

screenshot of a body of text. the text reads "The post includes information about payments from the different streaming services. Most of the streams of All Hell came through Spotify, which pays less than its competitors. Gareth writes, "If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more." Elsewhere, he says, "There are many reasons, unrelated to artist reimbursement, why Spotify is the dirt worst of the streaming platforms. I trust by now you are aware of these.""

Here’s a Spotify Wrapped for ya:

If we had received 100,00 Spotify streams this year it would have netted us $300.
