What it feels like when you listen to a song and it's good

Finally there's something else that can get basic facts wildly wrong and repeat the same phrases over and over. And Spotify won't even have to pay 100k for it.

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

Tfw you gotta swap out your key caps for a quieter set because the default ones were too clacky and your sub kept drooling and moaning when you typed anything

My best looks of 2025! It's crazy how hrt will have you enjoying your appearance enough that you'll post pictures of yourself for no other reason than to brag about looking good.

Imagine being made to spend 11 days inside a coffin. Imagine being made to spend more than a day inside a box barely two feet large in any direction. Imagine having to curl up, unable to extend any of your extremities, in the claustrophobic conditions of such a box, for more than a cumulative day. You can see pictures Abu Zubaydah drew of himself in the small box. Now imagine this being done to someone you love. I say all this because the following description appears in an Amnesty International report released Friday into the conditions of confinement for migrants at Alligator Alcatraz:

Figuring out your sexuality before you realize you're trans is like solving one side of a Rubik's cube

The Next One Here's what's going to happen next. Somewhere, right now, a trans person is teaching a class, or coaching a team, or working at a library, or providing healthcare. They're doing their job. They're probably good at it. And at some point, someone is going to have a problem with them. Maybe a parent, maybe a student, maybe a coworker. The problem won't really be about job performance. The problem will be that they're trans. That person, or someone connected to them, will take their grievance to social media. If they're lucky, Libs of TikTok will pick it up. Or Turning Point. Or one of the other accounts that have built massive followings by turning trans people into content. The post will frame the trans person as a predator, or a groomer, or a bully, or a tyrant. It won't matter what actually happened. The framing is the point. Then the calls will start. To the school board, to the administration, to the HR department. Local news will cover the "controversy." A state legislator will demand an investigation. The institution, desperate to make the problem go away, will put the trans person on leave. Maybe they'll be fired outright. Maybe they'll resign because the harassment makes it impossible to do their job. Either way they're gone. And then the person who started it all will go on Fox News. They'll get a GoFundMe. Maybe a speaking gig at a conservative conference. If the story is big enough, if it goes viral enough, they might get something more. A podcast. A book deal. A center with their name on it. This is not a guess. This is a pattern. We've watched it happen over and over again, and we will keep watching it happen until the institutions that capitulate to these campaigns start recognizing them for what they are: coordinated attempts to purge trans people from public life, dressed up as individual controversies.

Alex says "I think I'm a rabbit or maybe a deer." Another woman asks "what happened in your childhood such that you excluively associate with prey animals." We flash back in time. A gang of bullies eye a child version of Alex. One of them says "c'mon gang! let's descend on the faggy kid!" One of them breaks a twig with a SNAP. Alex, doe-eyed, manifest gigantic ears. The pop up with the sound effect "PERK."

Preliminary reports indicate a strong possibility that she did that*

*that = drew one good eyeliner wing and had to tell the people
Photo taken in a mirror of the right side of ash bell's face. She's got on green and gold eyeshadow and black eyeliner with a pretty goddamn good wing if she does say so herself.

in the mid 20th century, there was a small industry for creating "song-poems". people would send in their awful poems and the house band would have to figure out how to set them to music. here is my favorite example of the form: "human breakdown of absurdity"
