Sorry but it’s very funny that as Republican support is in freefall they’re just pivoting to bilking the last loyalists while also turning them into bankrupt hikikomori who won’t even stop pressing the AI orgasm button to go vote for them.

The 90s and beyond playlists were my favs to put together bc they even enlightened ME to how much great stuff there was in his later years

Arrogant to toot my own horn but looking back over these I’m just like damn these are fire.

For so many reasons, including that they both prob held in the most perfect balance a deep religious conviction AND absolute vulgarity

It’s easy to not get blocked by me and yet some can’t help it

I also pulled this up for the first time in years the other day and was utterly staggered to see it now has *13* seasons.

Oh nice, I still have my track lists in my Google Drive. Some of the rare cuts have since been officially released but this is how I had them at the time

Hegseth using AI to summarize the Order of Saint Lazarus and saying “sounds badass” when it spits out “leper crusaders”

When he died I made some custom playlists for my friends who didn’t really know him and I mixed hits, deep cuts, and various bootleg vault tracks/live performances, divided by major eras of his career. Each one ended up 3+ hours long even after aggressive whittling down.

9th September 1988 ~ Dortmund Europe TV YouTube video by The Prince Encyclopedia

Cannot believe it’s already been a decade since Prince’s death. The word “genius” is comically overused in pop culture but he’s one of the few who unimpeachably warrants the term. youtu.be/5AyoxNQiVDg?...

You can actually see the moment Ed Miliband thinks, what's the point burning through whatever political credibility I've got left energetically defending a man who's going to be gone in a matter of weeks.

I’m always interested to read film criticism from the ‘40s like Agee or Farber to see them really unpacking documentaries and newsreels as they became such a prominent genre during the war. Treating things like Desert Victory and San Pietro on aesthetic as much as communication grounds.

Up until the last 6-8 months few internet behaviors annoyed me more than “everyone I disagree with is a bot” but spiritually I’ve adopted that attitude to the shrinking Aral Sea of blue no matter who types who now represent about 5% of the Dem base with everyone else being FURIOUS.

It’s kind of hilarious that this is coming to a head with a new Avengers in direct competition with an adaptation of Dune Messiah that of the two is the least ponderously imposing in terms of what you need to know going in.

Trump Library Saga Takes Dark Turn: Where Did Millions in Funding Go? Four huge media conglomerates forked over $63 million in “settlements” earmarked for Trump’s presidential library. Democrats are trying to track that money—and the latest developments don’t inspire co...

Celebrating 4/20 in your 20’s vs celebrating 4/20 in your 30’s

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Anyone arguing that some flavor of AI literacy will protect women from AI deep fake porn is at best unserious and at worst desperate to protect their automated goon generator. This is prima facie not a literacy problem.

Both of those things are also prescient of how 21st century culture would be

This sounds like one of those mawkish predictions of what happens in heaven.

Prob the closest I ever came to truly offending some of my current friends is when I pointed out that My Favorite Murder was disgustingly conservative and pro-cop even when it detailed how cops are willfully negligent in stopping killers/usually are the killers themselves
