Bacon Strips #43

That crème brulée is SO good.

99% of my ideas come from doing the work. Happy accidents and experiments during the process are where art/design comes from, not generating brilliance from my designer skull.

The AI bro thinking is “this is exactly like when Macs made typesetting obsolete! Now your imagination is set free — no more drudgery with actually doing work! Just pure magical IDEAS!!”

Which is, obviously, totally bullshit.

“Better yet, avoid wearing. Store alone in a purpose-built armoire, preferably of sustainable peachwood. Maintain constant temperature and a humidity level of 38%.”

This is likely the first song…

I'm completely baffled by folks slobbering this guy's knob while he says stuff like "all rural white Americans are racist and stupid". He's absolutely the next Fetterman.

"Allbirds ditches shoes for AI" has strong Pets.com vibes.

I'm giving it a month before there's a fire sale on used Aeron chairs

Either Clavicular is going to pull a Milo Yiannopolis & get banned soon, or his 'micro dosing' meth will, uh, ban him for life

I did not expect to wake up to news of a Tom Waits & Massive Attack collaboration.

That book was HUGE for me as a kid. I was socially super awkward and had no idea how to make friends, but being “the kid who can make spaceship noises or sound like a trumpet” was a good substitute.

I genuinely expected him to wave it off as a joke. Somehow he made it worse.

Completely coincidental that his buddy Peter Thiel has been hanging around the Vatican giving secret invitation-only lectures about the antichrist.

Also, their lawyers seem to be increasingly frustrated, exhausted, and simply lousy.

Before the election, his hometown newspaper covered the front page with 100 reasons he sucks. Ohioans hate, hate, hate him.

I’ve thought many times that a shoebill stork would be a fantastic suit, they’re already just funny guys in feather costumes

I want someone to make a lesser potoo suit

I haven't checked Twitter in quite awhile -- I wiped my timelines but kept my accounts parked -- and it looks like they've been deleted as well. Maybe for lack of activity?

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

I feel like yesterday he escalated from being an abuser to a terrorist, promising genocide and then pulling a “lol j/k we won” at the last minute. And people don’t handle that well.

It’ll be like the end of Return of the Jedi everywhere

I can testify that they will nearly always agree to waive fees or give you half-off subscriptions (for a limited period of time) if you yell enough at their chat bot or chat support & threaten to quit.

If this series is indeed the last thing he does as Bon Iver, it's a great legacy. I didn't even recognize '666' at first, excellent

I don't think The Hague will see things the same way.

On one hand, I'm utterly tense with dread.

On the other, it's TACO Tuesday.

But first they need to be recalled. Which isn't happening, because Mike Johnson is complicit.

Not so much "imply" but "directly state".

I'm wondering what Peter Thiel thinks about this and whether he's calling his boy Vance to pull a Jaime Lannister over there.
