2030: Chad, no longer able to produce an original thought or significant emotion, asks Chat GTP to come up with prompts that will elicit meaningful Chat GTP responses to infill content for his podcast. And lunch.

Ralph Bakshi's gorgeous, rotoscoped, and incredibly dark animated version of THE LORD OF THE RINGS (1978) was, at times, like a nightmare to my 9 year-old self. I had particular problems with the creepy Nazgûl, especially during this famous scene...

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

I'm bothered by Trump's gilding bronze statues, not entirely because it's gaudy, but because when bronze patinas it lightens & darkens to accentuate the forms, allowing for highlight & shadow. The gold simply reflects rendering the statue an illegible lumpy blob.

It continues to fuck me up that we stay thinking about 9/11 but want to memory hole Covid so bad we're destroying the entire concept of public health in the US.

In the United States, there have been 103,436,829[3] confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 1,238,563[3] confirmed deaths, the most of any country, and the 17th highest per capita worldwide.[43] The COVID-19 pandemic ranks as the deadliest disaster in the country's history.[44] It was the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer.[45] From 2019 to 2020, U.S. life expectancy dropped by three years for Hispanic and Latino Americans, 2.9 years for African Americans, and 1.2 years for White Americans.[46] In 2021, U.S. deaths due to COVID-19 rose,[47] and life expectancy fell.[48]

My nonsense conspiracy theory: Bedminster pays it's senior members a couple hundred bucks each to show up and throw a tourney once a year. And that Trump knows and doesn't care.
