How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

“If the car’s gone,”

“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”

“because I love you.”

Happy Columbo’s Day

So round!

I love this image.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Something's not in orbit in the capital of this Galaxy.

I see
and I hear
and I speak no evil;
I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without
wishing
a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted
to hope for the best.

And now for something completely different.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

A light brown little dog with floppy ears and stumpy little legs gives side-eye as he looks up at you from where he lays on the hardwood floor, his head resting on a large gray stuffed hedgehog toy as if it were a pillow

My dog is an Eddie, but it doesn’t really disprove your point as he is also a pretty unserious guy

a card featuring some predictions for 2025: you will eat something weird but transcendent, you are going to see a bird that looks pretty normal but it's gonna be kinda odd, weird plant, you will touch the water, a small bug will land on you long enough for you to look at it closely, you will find something that you thought was lost forever

2025 Predictions

Me: Perhaps that person is mad at me

Person: [is very nice to me]

Me: Ah, perhaps they are secretly mad at me

A hog from a 19th century portrait, expanded and edited so that it stars in the New York City Thanksgiving parade. It is being carried by a group of Ronald McDonalds (which doesn't make sense, but does make sense because the original image was of a Ronald McDonald float).

Happy Thanksgiving
