all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

what was great about the era of chatrooms was that the mods could smell them out and boot them. But now everything is the same three websites

It's cool how the tech people who rule us think they have very deep insightful thoughts but are actually dumber than dogshit

Eric Horwitz @ericsandwich.bsky.social · 4d

Yes the machine has an intelligence. The intelligence is that of the tech oligarchs who are salivating at the opportunity to surveil, propagandize, and anesthetize you. These are not neutral machines, they are tools of control.

Unless you think billionaires should be a protected class?

I am re-publishing my novel "Faster on My Own" on my Patreon for paid members, which previously ran in my now-deleted Substack. It's about a leftist of non-specific ideology who decides that he needs to actively make the world worse so the revolution will come. Check out the first chapter for free!

wow I would watch that musical

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 7d

Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” hits #1 today in 1983

It was originally “a vampire love song,” said writer Jim Steinman, “for a musical version of ‘Nosferatu’ .. When Bonnie came along, it was the perfect match .. her voice had that haunted, gothic quality .. pleading and defiant ..”

Nobody actually liked him and his life had no real impact. If he was someone who anyone missed it'd be different.

OMG! Mychal did it. Anyone who first caught this wonderful human gaining an audience on TikTok knew there was something special happening. What an incredible journey and story. Promoting reading and libraries is so damn important right now, and I can't think of a better ambassador.

Gene Wolfe sounds like a Hideo Kojima villain but he actually wrote some books about a topless dude and invented Pringles

in this golden age of corruption and bad governance it's wild that anyone could stand out but Eric Adams managed it. Here's to a future where this odious cretin gets jailtime, and all his credulous cheerleaders four years ago also get humbled.

Bye-bye Mayor Cop, a piece of shit loser who sacrificed your neighbors to ICE so he could spare himself the prison term he deserves. He leaves behind a legacy of closed libraries, escalating unaffordability, off-the-charts police corruption. An oleaginous creep only liberal pundits could respect.
