Going to start making up novel or movie titles based on words I missed in the NYT Spelling Bee

Yesterday's is "Gangland Adagio," obviously a cringe memoir by a white teacher about working in the hood

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

I regret to say I can totally imagine the SNL sketch where Kavanaugh and Alito and Gorsuch are leaning over Thomas’s shoulder trying to make up rap lyrics for him to include but he’s being as stuffy as possible, while Kagan writes hers solo, spitting fire

KBJ and Sotomayor will find it much funnier to let Kagan write the dissent

Obviously Alito or Kavanaugh would be way more cringe but they're going to let Thomas write it to show they're not racist (also under the assumption he knows more about rap somehow)

I am 100% certain Drake will appeal the dismissal just because we need to get to the stupidest timeline, in which we have to read a Clarence Thomas decision in favor of fucking Drake

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

ohhhh I don’t even like anyone involved in this game but I hate seeing a manager putting his feet up and letting a pitcher struggle

zoya the destroyer @sophiahelix.bsky.social · 1d

sure Dave Roberts, just leave your star pitcher of the era out there to wear a sweaty blowout loss in what might be his final appearance, not like you have a rested bullpen or anything

Reminds me of this excellent sign that I saw at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, Georgia.

Piano, which once belonged to Little Richard, with a sign on it saying "Do not attempt to play Little Richard's piano. He will know."

Hey everyone; I also think that the deliberate occupation of various cities is horrible & disturbing & scary & also what the fuc;k why does everyone keep saying "omg these guys are fat". ??? Maybe don't do that. Fatness does not equal villainy!

Dmitri Shostakovich saw Jesus Christ Superstar! He also liked it so much he considered writing a rock music themed suite (like his earlier Jazz suites) but died soon after.

the other hard thing is my hobbies and interests are either boring, also typical SAHM/domestic stuff, or things I don’t really feel like sharing, so the core problem here is a person who doesn’t know you well/has fallen out of touch shouldn’t be probing past what you say of your own accord

zoya the destroyer @sophiahelix.bsky.social · 3d

after 12 years at home I find that usually people are trying to be nice and ask about you as a person since they assume you’re tired of always being a mom, but it can end up feeling insulting if you actually don’t mind/enjoy your primary thing being parenting! it’s rough to navigate

humans are hardwired to see consciousness in everything and we're right more often than not. There are malicious spirits in printers and there are benevolent ones in 8bit consoles. Only x86 is a soulless abomination.

neongrey @neongrey.bsky.social · 4d

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
