It's been well noted and is real shit.
"A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands ...became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-female electronic voices."
This is *essential* reading from Tim.
Leaving Neverland has been deleted from HBO, but no one who has seen it can ever think about Jackson the same way again - no matter how much his estate wishes otherwise.
Quote from George Carlin: Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.
Used to borrow this from the school library like crazy bc it was an Avengers style team up of 80s cartoons. I still have a vhs copy of it.

ON SATURDAY STAND UP TO DOUG THE GRIFTER
Doug Ford used $28 million in taxpayers money on a jet and then complained there was a "double standard" when people got upset. Tell that to those with no doctor or kids without school support.

Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.
And the disappearance of the headphone jack. Fuck you, Tim Cook
There was a couple year run of cult comedies that everyone could quote endlessly that I wish we could get another period like that (anchorman, 40 y/o virgin, Superbad, super troopers, etc). Was such an awesome time for comedy and inspiring a generation
I second this!
Highly recommend!
This is a strain of Candida auris cultured in a petri dish at a laboratory at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's a form of yeast that can harm humans — and is resistant to the most common antifungal drugs.

Late stage capitalism really getting gross lately. The Toronto Maple Leafs are charging families a grand to let their kid skate a lap around the ice carrying a flag before games now. Everyone is selling out for the dumbest shit
Universal healthcare turns out to be good for business.
Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

Using a VPN may subject Americans to warrantless government surveillance, and even our lawmakers don’t have the full picture of what data is collected.
It’s therefore crucial that the public knows how our intelligence community monitors our VPN traffic.
Another reminder to get off as many Google services as possible.

In a just world, charges for criminal negligence would already be pending against infection control leaders who shoved scientific experts aside, grabbed for power, and committed the worst medical error in history.
But we live in a world where medical leaders normalize and protect that behaviour.
“Findings indicate an association between acute COVID-19 rates and increased car crashes … comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol at legal limits or driving with a seizure disorder.”

This headline obscures the true brutality of this piece - there are vast numbers of men who are drugging and raping their own partners and wives, mothers of their children, filming and sharing it. The extent of hatefulness and betrayal in this violent abuse is hard to fathom.
