evergreen, I fear

Everything is bad now because kids get their taste in music from algorithms instead of from trying to impress the older girl you know who looks like the Bombchu Bowling Alley Operator

A promotional image for a game bundle / mutual aid request titled : " my wife broke her foot so i'm having a flash sale" 8 bone crushing games for $16 by DNGN CLUB. featuring a blue and black xray image of a foot

My wife broke the metatarsal that connects to her pinky toe and we are uninsured. I'm trying to get the money together to visit an orthopedic specialist (and lyft rides) -- so I'm having a flash sale of my most BONE-CRUSHING games.

Damon Lindelof Reveals Why He Signed Anti-Paramount-WBD Merger Letter "Hollywood, believe it or not, is a blue-collar town," Damon Lindelof said Monday on why he signed an anti-Paramount-WBD merger letter.

“Hollywood, believe it or not, is a blue-collar town...“It’s thousands and thousands of Grips and Gaffers. Drivers and Decorators. Builders and Boom operators. Camera teams and Caterers... And they’re all about to get f*cked”

Damon Lindelof Reveals Reason He Signed Anti-Paramount-WBD Merger Missive

A hero whose heroism consists of killing people is uninteresting to me, and I detest the hormonal war orgies of our visual media, the mechanical slaughter of endless battalions of black-clad, yellow-toothed, red-eyed demons.

Yeah this is literally the purpose of these products. I don't mean this in a "kids these days" kind of way. EdTech companies, and the feckless education bosses who team up with them, want education to be a credential-generating machine in which learners act like customers and teachers act like cops

The Corpus Christi Water Crisis Isn't Exceptional. It's Early. When drought cycles outpace infrastructure planning, a water emergency is not a surprise—it’s a forecast.

Last week: It's not that the drought was unpredictable. It is that the drought was predicted, and that the planning systems in place were calibrated to conditions that are no longer stable.

This is so, so well-articulated.

i've yet to see evidence that this man is anything other than the fucking coolest to ever do it

things change:
authors and wizards are not always to be trusted:
nobody can explain a dragon.

Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part.

Integrating a chat bot into an online game so that you don't have to talk to players if you get lost is so deeply anti-social I don't understand why they even made an online game to begin with.

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

Senate Dems probe personal email use in endangerment finding repeal Court documents show members of a Department of Energy working group used personal email addresses.

Trump appointees at the Dept. of Energy used their personal email accounts to evade transparency laws in their efforts to make it easier to pollute, and EPA was in on it.  

We are demanding answers and accountability for this blatant disregard for the law.

the average business traveler has never encountered an ICE agent in the flesh. if anyone in the administration had half the sense god gave a goat, they’d be desperate to keep it that way.

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

I would say I’m fairly knowledgeable about the corruption, violence, coercive authority, and brutal imperial power that pervades extractive sectors and yet I am still in shock at this Trump admin move to secure Zambian minerals

But seriously we are on the precipice of the demise of the USPS and too overwhelmed with crises to give it proper attention. The Constitution will not save it, the admin wants it dead, and Republicans in Congress are on permanent vacation. No one is coming to save it unless we show them it matters.

NAL, but I was always told that you could only do some of it

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin.

Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating.

Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business.

The list goes on.

We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose.

Let me tell you, the way my jaw dropped when I read the adventure timeline. Incredibly fun and alien scenario.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Melissa Hortman was known for reaching across the aisle in the MN House. Mike Lee (R UT) said she deserved to be assassinated by a wannabe SA dude. There is no amount of nice that will save you or your neighbors from fascist violence. Do not be nice.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

DO NOT USE CHAT GPT.

When empathy is present and cherished, evil cannot grow. When empathy is absent, it flourishes.
