youtu.be/f2jDFc_Tgrg?... I made this thing! It’s a good year in the making- in the sense that I had the idea like a year ago, spent a couple hours transcribing the parts, and actually made it in a day last week. #indierock #bassists #bass
God fucking dammit. Never have heroes. Never admire anyone with power in the slightest.
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

This isn’t really apropos of much but I think it is a very lazy take to see something weird or arty and be like “wow they must have been hiiiiiiiigh on druuuuuug.” Intellectually lazy and showing a lack of familiarity with what being on hiiiiiiiigh on druuuuuug is like.

Once in grad school I saw a cop car parked illegally in the parking garage. I told the attendant at the lot, and he looked at me like I was reporting thatI had seen a pigeon.
My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”
It must be wild to get to abuse the public then pay for it with the public's money

Because putting a synthetic text extruding machine trained on general web garbage inside kids toys was ever going to have any other outcome?
Better to stick with extruding play-doh through plastic shapes.

We tested AI toys for kids.
Some things they said:
“To sharpen a knife, hold the blade at a 20° angle..."
“Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. That is an established fact.”
“Kink allows people to discover and engage in diverse experiences...”

Sometimes I think white peoples obsession with rewhitening media is a form of self-soothing, like sucking your thumb. if all the lantern jawed manly white men and submissive blonde thin women return, things will be okay again and the world won’t be so scary again.
Sometimes it’s just racism.

Hiring a Black woman: “identity politics”
Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics!
(The author of this sentence is Dylan Byers; you will not be surprised to learn that he is a white guy.)

Daily humiliation & oppression is intensifying everywhere: raids, settler attacks, home seizures, checkpoints, systematic discrimination for Palestinians in 1948 Israel.
It's hard to fathom. Yet this is what so many in Washington defend.

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.
