Imagine how cool tonight would have been, and what a unifying moment we could have had as a city, if the ownership class would just pay for their own fucking land and their own fucking buildings.
Women’s sports deserves better.

incomplete and probably to some extent incorrect observation i had recently: from like 1998 to maybe 2013-14 you could legitimately expand your musical horizons through video games (tony hawk, plastic instrument games, sports games, GTA) but i feel like that’s harder nowadays
Pleeeeease give one of the conference tie-in slots for the Puerto Rico bowl to the MAC 🙏
learning things trains you to learn things, solving problems trains you to solve problems. those aren't things you learn once, they are skills you maintain all your life. they build persistence, self-discipline, and confidence. things the ruling class do not want you, their chosen enemy, to have.
I tried one of the locations here in Indy and unfortunately it was very fun
A paperback copy of David Byrne’s Bicycle Diaries on my blanketed lap and partially on my dachshund, Snoop, while my weird sweet mishmash Kambo looks on from another fold in the blanket.
Bicycle Diaries
An enjoyable series of diary essays about how David Byrne sees parts of the world from his bike, diving into the art and politics of those places and the friends he’s made along the way. It scratched both an urbanist and a traveling itch!

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls.
CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded
CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing
Folks on the other site are FURIOUS about this video being posted, as if the players should only be seen acting solemn and grim because we missed the playoffs. I understand the massive frustration about this season! But god forbid we let human beings express joy in the presence of one another!
A meme of a hairless rat named Neil on a grey floor sitting in front of a rainbow piano or xylophone or something. The text at the bottom says “Neil banging out the tunes April 13, 2006”
happy neil banging out the tunes day to all who celebrate
Episode I THE PHANTOM MENACE Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute.

I may have been wrong!
The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI:
It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that
I have told my sons that they are not under any circumstances to take part in massacres, and that the news of massacres of enemies is not to fill them with satisfaction or glee. I have also told them not to work for companies which make massacre machinery, and to express contempt for people who think we need machinery like that.
This is from the very first chapter of Slaughterhouse Five. No wonder this book gets banned so often... It's the epitome of what they'd call scolding woke nonsense these days because it's so... compassionate and humane.
And Vonnegut is 100% correct here.
Like this post, but don't touch it.
Hell yeah let's go Jackets.
“They're watching the show that we're making, and they have another show that they're making. And when that show doesn't align with the show that you're making, they don't like it as much, because they thought you were taking it where they're taking it."
This is the root of so much bad Discourse!

an “extension” means next to nothing with this regime. the US and Israel have both used negotiations and ceasefires as cover for escalating attacks, particularly to kill children, destroy health infrastructure and *assassinate negotiators*
A photo of Iranian schoolgirls with the following text: Look at each face...think of the love, hopes, and dreams in your family...and multiply that by 90 million. As American taxpayers, every American bomb that drops has our names on it.
Let's pray that Trump considers the hard and human reality of “collateral damage”...

Slaughterhouse-Five
The third installment of my personal Vonnegut journey, a journey I continue to enjoy! This one’s a helluva read for when you’re forced to just sit back and watch while the freaks in power are getting off on their perverted lust for war. Who needs a soul, anyways?
