Too many people talking about Lindsey Graham but I'm more worried about what Lind (Norwegian friend) Sey (Norse pronunciation of "say") to Graham (British friend) in the wake of Norway's loss to England last night

I love that the defense of CLAYFACE is "well, you're not really supposed to trust anything in it" Oh? Is that so? Then why is it being released as a documentary and not a mockumentary or fiction Give me a FUCKING break We live in a SOCIETY

the funniest part is he asked for n64 bomberman, we booted up 64, and then he was like "oh not that one the one with the good song" so he was 100% thinking about redial (but bought 64 and 2nd attack alongside hero anyway)

homer would be an Incel today, but also still have his wife and family as they were in 1989-1998. The only difference is he'd be sort of an 'incel'. And also would have his job, house, community, friendships. Support networks. He might also have a new interesting 'Gene-Breaker' Virus

there was some children's book i had, whose name escapes me, which was about two kids sneaking into an old manor and the girl gradually starts to transform into a huge monster. every page shows her getting sicker & sicker as she follows the oblivious boy around before she becomes a bloodborne enemy

if you believe the future will be better than the present, it is kind of nice that these guys are just saying stuff like this. makes it a lot easier to code AI sycophancy as anticivic, antisocial behavior

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

i considered adding a bunch of evil reality shows (house of carters, kid nation, i wanna marry harry, bam's unholy union) but jackass is a beautiful shining star & i wouldn't bounce it for even the most evil reality show (the two coreys)

Taylor Lorenz is proof that Elon's ideological project at Twitter is working. Yeah, the lady who spends 18 hours a day online suddenly got more right wing after he took over, that was the point.

(prank calling chinese restaurant) Yes I'd like cream of sumyunguy please. (holding back laughter) (guy didn't hear me) No, cream of. Cream. (confusion) No, listen. (annunciating perfectly now) Cream Of Some Young Guy.

unfortunate reality for my brain is that i internalized how many days were in a year and how many pokemon there were at roughly the same time (2003) so i regularly catch myself thinking there are 386 days in a year
