"I’m particularly glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age."

I think you need to win for this. For sure.

Have you been to the Sanitary Market in Seattle? Hur!

The Mattress Industry is One Big Rip-Off | Adam Ruins Everything YouTube video by Dropout

There was a tv show called Adam Ruins Everything that talked about this in one segment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvlA...

Did anyone else read Snow Crash and see it as a deeply creepy place with some REALLY fucked up technology? And that's even before seeing what people are doing with it now?

A screenshot reading: “Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society. ” Neal Stephenson – Snow Crash ’92

I like street photography but come the fuck ON!

Once again, people miss the point of Snow Crash and the "gargoyles".

Thank you, that was amazing!

Seriously, read me in to stuff like this and I'll happily join the fray, Gianmarco!

Someone call the Pulitzer.

“Purple Rain” seemed to be overplayed in my childhood. Probably because I spent a lot of time at a roller rink and that was one of THE slow songs. It was fine but it was loooooong. I think eight or nine years ago I bought a greatest hits album and… OH!!! No yeah, I get it!

But he’s spoken about them with such fondness. Especially about grabbing them and how “they pretty much have to let you”.

Excuse me, I need to go bleach my soul…

Well Cook already gave Trump a prize so what else was there for him to do? I mean, realistically…

Well maybe if you shared…?

What? Why. I. Never. I. Can’t. Imagine. How. This. Could.

Line?!?

Not Mr Plug, surely!

Yeah, but conjugating it is a pain in the ass since there’s a significant chunk of the population here with a problem with pronouns. 😂

"Leopards eating my face" is the inverse of "the boy who cried wolf" isn't it?

I wouldn't know, I've never quisled.
[Sorry, not sorry]

You don’t want to make max mad!

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

It sucks to finish a book that absolutely blows you away... and then bouncing off the next two or three because they're just fine? No doubt they'd be amazing but........ meh.

I apologize for being inspired to play in your sandbox...

They want what they want when they want it and if new information actually pierces their frontal cortices, they will pivot on a dime with no memory of what's come before.

But those are their principles, goddammit!

I mean, the Republicans love to talk about how the queers and the drag queens are "grooming" children.

Imagine what they're doing to their children that doesn't involve *coughcoughcough*?

“I’m Gavin Crawford reminding you that when it comes to denouncing Trump’s illegal war: don’t be a Vatican’t, be a Vatican!”
Bloody LOVE “Because News”. Thank you @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social !

Their philanthropy doesn’t negate their rapacious greed. They do get some credit. Far more than I think anyone will give to Elon or Bezos.

Let’s finally learn from the Civil War to neither put the losers on their pedestals or leave them up there.

Take a page from Ancient Egypt.

Oh god, I would be all over whatever version of a Transformers Wiki existed. And then dinosaurs. All of them.

I'd also probably be insufferably tedious, but I'm pretty sure I was back then anyway, so...
