I sure do hate when a documentary leaves me asking challenging questions with no simple answers or resolution. They should just tell me what to think.

As a homebrew club president I'm disappointed to see all these stereotypes about supposed dangers of home distilling and the demographic wishing to engaging in it. I'd love if I could discuss the matter with any of you over a cocktail.

That chatgpt commercial with the elderly woman renting the sailboat and not knowing how to operate it feels like it has a chance of actually happening and ending tragically. And no one will face a consequence.

Android has gotten so shitty these days that the only thing keeping me using it is the fact that Firefox on iOS doesn't allow extensions and I need ublock to make sketchy sports stream sites viable.

Maven is the name of, like, the strongest mountain bike brakes currently on the market and Anduril is the name of the firmware on my favorite flashlights. Wish these murderous fucks would stop copying the good names.

Covid took from me: Om at Garfield Park Conservatory on 3/13/20, Sturgill with Tyler Childers, Kuma's block party with Anthrax and Converge, Baroness/Against Me! tour, among other tours I'm forgetting. Almost saw George Carlin but thought I'll catch him next time, then he died like 5 months later.

How about this? Best concerts that you ALMOST got to see but DIDN’T. Include reasons if you like: Rolling Stones (play rehearsal) Johnny Cash (I dallied) R.E.M. (play performance) Nirvana (canceled, college declined to pay requested $500 appearance fee)

Preseason football brings out the weirdest local commercials. The ad spot rate must be way cheaper than regular season games. The other night I saw one for a metal fab company run by a guy I remember punching holes in walls and telling me that mids don't exist, it's just bomb-ass schwag.

i hadn't watched local TV in years, but last night i watched football on a local station and there was a fully AI commercial for a construction business. come onnnnn

You're going to think this is a reach but I think that trypophobia burrito is a good example of a kind of subtle dehumanization that's hiding inside of a lot of ragebait. The image is disgusting. It is bad to look at. Doesn't seem good to share. Why share it? The reason is that it is dehumanizing.

It's honestly pretty awesome that Phoebe Bridgers got JK Broadrick to play on her new record. He played on Napalm Death's iconic album Scum and that's not even really a thing he's known for. Godflesh owns, jesu owns. Legend of heavy music.
