Do you think, in his heart of hearts, he knows that while his death will certainly be covered by TV news & breaking alerts, people will learn about it when they see neighbors spontaneously celebrating, hooting and hollering in the streets, spreading good cheer and pouring each other popped champagne

Every time I think he can’t be worse and I’m finally numb to it, he finds a way to shock me

You know. One thing about our dear leader is that you can never become jaded when it comes to the depths of his cruelty.

This is absolutely correct. Almost every artist I know is DROWNING in ideas. The issue is in executing the ideas.
& this nonsense that whomever has “the most ideas the fastest” is “the most creative” is ridic. There’s ppl with 1,000 ideas for paintings yet will never paint The Starry Night. An idea and $2.90 will get you a ride on the subway in NYC.
Artistry isn’t solely manufacturing ideas. It’s the process.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Was reading a mystery before bed but fell asleep before the murder happened. My brain dreamed the whole murder scene?! I woke up genuinely unsure which part was the book and which part the dream

It's time for slower art. The constant churn and grind pushed by techno capitalism has reached its inevitable conclusion with AI slop. Let's make our best work and be patient with our process. Let's release art that's worth stopping for and savoring. Let's show each other what humans can do

how much water does it take to disrupt the careers of millions of people? how much water does it take to make deepfakes of underage kids? how much water does it take to exacerbate people's mental health crises? is there a good number? is there an acceptable number?

i do wish more people understood that what makes writing "poetic" has much less to do with the word choice and much more to do with the pacing and structure of sentences and paragraphs. the rhythm of the language is absolutely vital to the feel of the text.

actually quite lucky bc I was working right near a pile of fabric I'd cut out for a different craft yesterday, and somehow I seem to not have gotten blood on it? It was one of those things where the metal sliced a little chunk of skin into a flap and I didn't even feel it.

We cannot turn whole universities into AI development centers. This is a commercial and political obsession, not education or skill-development.

It's hard to overstate how impossible this demand is from Purdue's administration to implement these AI requirements by next fall. We are nowhere close to understanding what AI proficiency means or what it looks like in education.

I feel like Wake Up Dead Man was one of a string of movies/shows I’ve seen in the last 3-5 years that purport to be about the Catholic Church but feel super Protestant. It’s a vibe.

funny enough, I stopped at the Metairie one yesterday bc I had an errand in the area, and for once there were spots! I am attributing that to the downtown NOLA TJs opening.
I don't want to divert the main thread too badly so starting a new one. Everyone post your comically shitty and small local Trader Joe's parking lot and argue about why its The Worst In America in the replies.
I know everyone thinks this about the parking lot at whatever Trader Joe's they shop at, but I would like to nominate Bressi Ranch's Trader Joe's as the most comically undersized, badly designed and psychotic TJ's parking lot in America. A real exemplar

In case you were wondering who the asshole was in the Trader Joe’s parking lot with the windows down still knowing every single lyric to Barenaked Ladies One Week, it was me.

It’s so wild that “a random online leftist said something I found annoying once” is legitimately a huge driver of modern politics in a way that “online right-wingers with significant sway over powerful people say literal Nazi things” isn’t and likely never will be
Literally nobody has ever referred to her as a "birthing person," yet the existence of the term was enough to turn her into a full-on anti-trans crusader.
Ana Kasparian claims the left turned on her over her opposition to being called a "birthing person".
Ana Kasparian: "I don't have kids, I don't want to have kids, and I don't want to be called a 'birthing person', I find it super insulting."
