I have what my audiologist now terms "profound" hearing loss. I am basically deaf without my hearing aids. I still play guitar and write music and mix tracks and study every day engineering, and it is immensely fulfilling despite my "disability." I have never wanted or "needed" to use AI. fuck you

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

it is kind of wild that you can just be watching a fuckin hitler pop off and start invading places and snatching heads of state for a second act, but if you say the thing that you want to happen to him in order to stop that, it would be considered violent

"We Beat 'Em Before... (Portland's Version)"
This idea came to me late. I think it fits really well since Portland Frog Brigade literally carries no weapons and yet ICE has no idea how to respond to them. Just feckless incompetent goons all around.
