For no reason at all I am thinking of the time I tweeted at matt taibbi about alex jones, saying I'd be more receptive to the "free speech" position if they were presenting any solution for the sandy hook families, and he jumped into my dms to tell me that everyone should simply take it to court

They'll never admit it and generally lack the self-awareness to realize it but these folks' actual grievance is that they aren't being constantly praised and congratulated. It's not enough that their racism is tolerated (which it generally is), they need constant affirmation
whenever a conservative says like “i won’t apologize for being white” i’m kind of like where were you hanging out that people were asking that of you

Read an article by an industry expert which argued the premise here isn't even true. AI didn't result in more code being shipped, still hasn't. All it's done is made a lot of shipped code worse
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

Roger Ebert said more or less this in his review of willy wonka and the chocolate factory, which he thought was an excellent kid's movie
People who argue "who cares it's just for kids" all I can say is fuck right off. Kids deserve thoughtful, well-made movies that challenge them just as much as adults do. Kids aren't stupid, and they remember how movies affect them basically forever.

Saw Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade at the best theater in town in like 2017 and when Indy turns around and says "Nazis. I HATE these guys" the entire room cheered. A bright moment in a dark time
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Not for the first time I'm reminded of how many pedophiles I heard when I worked transcribing utterances into Microsoft devices. These people are very, very stupid. That they aren't getting caught is an indication that the cops aren't trying.
Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Nobody knows how to use a computer but us and people who've been ass deep in code since 1983.

"...and you can trust me, an FBI agent." Anyway one of MY pet peeves is when someone says "yeah they did all this stuff, and lied about it for decades, and nobody experienced any consequences, so we can assume they're not doing it anymore smile"
Just a general FYI: I get that the CIA and FBI did some shady and crappy things in the 50s-80s. But if you are using those examples as referents for their (legal) powers *now,* you are showing your ignorance of some major constraints that were placed on them by Congress*

this is like how sometimes you try and explain why something sucked but accidentally make it sound dope.
it happens with David Lynch's Dune.
"...so instead of being good at knives they have guns they scream into, and Sting is there for no reason anyone can explain."

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm@jpeg)
