Once again, the sportball team from my geographic region has defeated the sportball team from that inferior geographic region, demonstrating that we alone occupy the lucid dreams of the ancient gods.

I, for one, welcome out new Canadian overlords, and look forward to more poutine on the menus of area restaurants.

This is just glorious fuckery. I can't tell where the satire ends and the reality begins, but, at the end of the day, the response to this flood is all of us being our best selves.

I'm super proud of all the people getting out there and doing the work.

Glorious. And I have read too much Cormac McCarthy.
"The mall had once been a bustling outpost of humanity. Now as the man led the boy over the threshold, he perceived how the crowds thinned and order gave way to the entropic pull of the wild."

If only there was not cause, thought the man, for the boy to accompany him here. To this place of commerce. But as the woman reminded him two hours...

I remember, at 12 or something, reading one of Heinlein's "full horndog prose" novel and being so embarrassed. Like Little-Rascals-when-Alfafa-sings embarrassed.
I mean, hashtag NotJustHeinlein, there were a lot of dude scifi authors who went full hornhog prose there in the 70s/80s, it was the era of Playboy and cocaine, I just don't have the ambition to go there, and if I have a horny swinger nudist phase I think we'll all be happy if I keep it to myself
Tbf, Heinlein was always a horny swinger nudist, he just lived long enough for publishers to start letting him put that stuff in his books.

This is kinda related to one of my favorite "Get to know you" questions: When they make a movie of your life, and it's the opening scene where you're walking through the airport, what will the background song be?

Mine is Jungle Boogie.
We need to bring back the 80s-90s thing where films start with the main character realizing they are late for work/school/curfew and bicycling/running through a scenic filming location while an easy-listening pop song plays and the intro credits flash by

That cheese grater is sexier than hell, and we could have a red hot three way with my favorite vegetable, cheddar cheese.

Explain to me again why I want a relationship with ChatGTP?
Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

I'm not really a big podcast guy, but Blue City Blues has some interesting discussions on Seattle politics, which I am far enough away from to listen with bemusement.
