Oh white noise makes my brain go haywire, it starts making up voices to make the sound into something. Mostly if I have one ear covered. Never quite made sense of it

Yeah one source of words at a time. Music I can let wash over my brain a bit because I grew up with a radio always on. But I'm rarely taking in the actual words as words if reading.

the inverse of this is how much of politics is now just accepting that you have to vote for people who hate you, so your best option is to vote for people who hate other people more than they hate you

I think the main refreshing thing about Mamdani, for me, is that he actually likes New York City and wants to see it thrive for everyone.

I don't understand how people put on movies or TV while doing other things. I'm either watching or I'm not and it's just noise. Music is different, and podcasts are hit or miss.

Thought too long about how bulk amounts of things are made in the hope that there is enough demand to move them all

And even that's not good enough because most people seem fed up with it and too many have a sharp eye for trash. So it's being coupled with increasing overt censorship and surveillance. I think they really hoped we'd sink quietly into digital slop forever lmao

Seems to me like the only achievement of ai is flooding the zone with garbage to tower of Babel the most effective international solidarity tool we've maybe ever had

I think maybe you could fuck up the captain? It is a rotating position. Altho the first person to be eliminated was an older guy who wore his like pope shirt when he wasn't supposed to? But he was replaced. There was a lot of people laying in the mud for some reason. Like it was a TV show also

Bad a dream about a cooperative competitive group crossword game. You're given the letters, and a few pre-filled spots. Team captain places letters. Team shouts out choices for what goes where and iirc the captain is obliged to choose one. I don't remember how elimination worked

Yeah everyone brought their A game. Early roles for Fraser, Judd and Mortensen, to boot

I watch a lot of junk food movies so it's really nice when a movie comes along that plays with time, light, symbols, and the spaces between words. Just really something overall

6. The Passion of Darkly Noon (dir. Philip Ridley, 1995).

Somewhere between a satire on American evangelism, a fairy tale for adults, a romance soap opera in the woods, and an arthouse slasher, this is as close to "what if David Lynch directed Friday the 13th" as we're ever going to get.
