Skinny, young Michael B. Jordan sitting on that nasty orange couch in the yard behind the apartments on THE WIRE.

Wild to remember what he looked like when I first saw him on TV.

to be clear this was already wildly fucking illegal by any standard employment regulation of ethical service

Jesus Christ, why are these guys such LOSERS?!

I love the salon idea. I'll hang onto that thought in case I ever get stupid rich, which is unlikely considering my current status as a hundredaire.

Everything is so grim these days.

Yeah, I don't know if they've said anything about it in recent years. I haven't seen the show, or even clips, in forever. It's definitely stalled out The Roots as band though.

Questlove had kind of a dismissive response to a question about it in 2016, but I don't remember the exact question or context.

the only mcu movies I'll consider rewatching in the cinema are THOR RAGNAROK and BLACK PANTHER, but only if they promise not to add new footage

or maybe ternapple

my email bombardment took out tim cook and dick durbin in the last year

surely it's not a coincidence they both announce their retirement just as I ramp up to ludicrous levels of annoyance

tim cook finally retires so he doesn't have to read any more irate emails from me

you're welcome

Why is no one hair on fire that half a million children have died in the year since USAID was gutted?
Why don’t these kids deserve the same outrage as others dying in war or genocide?
Is it because these children’s deaths aren’t politically advantageous to those running in primaries for Congress?

#180. Reese Witherspoon and You Hi everyone, Having been home for nearly a week straight for the first time in a month, I think I've regained a handle on my own life. I've powered through my unread emails, getting back to Inbox (86...

"The rise of allegedly job-eliminating technology is an extraordinary chance to do something tangible for women – or workers of any gender really – instead of suggesting that they cozy up to our new dumbass robot overlords." www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/180-reese-wi...

tax policy isn't enough, we need guillotine and soylent green policy

one reason I don't trust developers who use ai is because they often say things like, "we only use ai to code, there is no generative ai involved"

yet...

effectively 0% of them actively try to stop gen ai from taking over every corner of the world, digital AND physical

they still empower the slop

I really wish more people had paid attention when several observers tried to warn about the technofascist and eugenicist tendencies of thiel and karp and that group, for rolling up on two decades, now.

And i *Really* wish the media & political actors would take the threat of them seriously, today 😕

These are dark times for people who have empathy. It can feel futile trying to find meaning. I keep trying. As trite as it seems sometimes, I keep writing and trying to find joy in making art.

Why don’t they just rent a forklift?

Once that's done, you can declare war on phrases that no one uses to your heart's content.

Bro, @govandybeshear.bsky.social: If you want to be a party for the people, you've got to get out your guillotines, behead all billionaires, and feed their billions back to the people. I don't give a damn what you call Headless Bezos, just burn down his warehouses and give his money to the people.

Jon Bois @jonbois.bsky.social holy shit. i was just watching the cavs-raptors game and the ball fell out of the bottom of the basket. it was with 4:04 left in the second quarter if you can get your hands on a replay. the guy shot the ball, it went through the hoop, and then it straight up fell out of the net and onto the floor 2:11 PM • Apr 18, 2026 Everybody can reply v 57 reposts 6 quotes 6 quotes 814 likes 4 saves

i'm deleting this post. since posting it i watched some more basketball and it turns out this is pretty much always what happens

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

scientific research offers hope for millions
rfk jr offers deliberate mass murder of millions

it's weird to me that anyone other than diehard atletí fans feel bad for diego simeone

sure he can be entertaining at times but he's always been a dirty cheat, going back to his playing days

that's not subjective it's just what he is

he's never been an ethical or moral chap as a player or a coach

“This clown. Witherspoon sold a majority stake in her production company, Hello Sunshine, to the Blackstone-backed Candle Media for $900 million in 2021. Blackstone is currently a massive investor in AI infrastructure, including a $25 billion project for AI data centers.”

Estos disgustos le van a costar a Simeone la melena.

We also get rap music back and partial custody of wrestling.

As far as the Basque clubs go, Athletic Club is my favorite, but I'm happy to see La Real win the Copa del Rey. And I'm even happier for a Madrid club with a couple Simeones to miss out on a trophy.
