I like good food, good wine, and really really bad 80's pop music. There are other things about me, but you'd find them even less interesting.

I find it interesting that the surveillance state showed up as a bunch of name brand products and we didn't just welcome it... we paid top dollar for it. Then the stuff we bought turned around and *sold us* to advertisers, the government, and other corporations.

I've been lucky enough to attend two eclupse totalities and one of the weirdest parts was how the wildlife reacted. Birds fell silent and bugs made quite a ruckus. It really added to the bizarreness of the event.

It's like Trump is patterning military deployments against US citizens after Kyle Rittenhouse's misadventures. It's very much a "create your own peril so you can shoot your way out of it" kind of thing. They just need something to react to.

Pecan balls!

Vanilla ice cream rolled in pecans and then topped with hot fudge and Carmel.

Cognition is like strength. Use is required to not just gain, but maintain. The more thinking and cognitive work we offload, the duller we become as a result.

It's like deciding you'll use a mobility scooter without need and then figuring out a year later that you can no longer walk.

I have no idea what you're talking about [opens two additional buttons on shirt].

So capitalism, completely unfettered and unrestrained by regulatory oversight, seems to be working out exactly as one might expect.

The US is really having a normal one, ain't it?

Has anyone mentioned that phonetically, "nooki" is English slang for engaging in sexual activity? Just wanted to make sure you're aware.

The new release date is (optimistically) two years away, which is not "less time."

Sony needs to get their shit together and get production moving or just throw in the towel. What a terrible state for such a great unfinished story.

I see they're slowly building their case for jailing elected democratic mayors for no other reason than it serves their wretched, festering egos. FFS, America.

I wonder if future historians will honestly explain that the Internet survived and flourished in the late 80's and 90's because of teenage boys looking for pictures of boobs or if they'll keep up with the "new age of communication and commerce" horseshit we tell ourselves now.

I think it's safe to say that the male loneliness epidemic is now over.

Congratulations on finding the cure and the eventual Nobel Prize you'll receive for doing so.

There's a whole genre of wisdom devoted to pure truths like that.

"Poke the bear"??? Trump has been kicking every "bear" we thought would protect the nation from him in the crotch for a decade, and they all roll into a fetal position and tap out.

I think you've been snorting too many copium memes of Smith AI slopped to have laser eyes dumped into your TL.

Why would a judge address someone as "Homo sapiens sapiens"?

As running gags go, this certainly was one.
