Musician, ADHD, high social anxiety. We have a great time. Played viola in Quiet Quiet Band, listened to way too much metal. (He/they)
i try to brighten my friends’ days by sharing good news whenever i see it, but this now being the third time i’ve seen very positive climate news lately, i’m gonna get a lil mean: climate doomerism is misinformation and spreading it, even just in jest, is antithetical to the values you espouse.

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

This is all about branding and the fact that the far right are upset that people are wise to the game. The original Nazis branded themselves as left wing (socialists) for a reason, and thankfully that same trick doesn't work twice

Thats not a horse, thats a house. A brickhouse. Mighty, mighty. Just lettin’ it all hang out.

So I flubbed with autocomplete on an order address, and didn't realise until it was too late. Shipper couldn't do anything, Royal Mail couldn't do anything, and so delivery was attempted at the incorrect address and someone SIGNED FOR IT AS ME. So that's a great time all around I guess.
The thing about economists is that they say they're really interested in numbers but what they really love is just saying any old bullshit without anything to back it up
Robin Brooks@robin-j-brooks.bsky.social · 6d agoYou can't really talked about migration and deportations in Germany. That gets you cancelled. So people don't talk about it and vote AfD instead. That's the basic issue and goes far beyond Sachsen-Anhalt, which is why yesterday's AfD win is so important... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/why-is-ger...
People thought storms were an angry sky bloke and the tides were an angry sea bloke if a thing exists people will think there's a soul in it
tunes to make you run away@whippoorwont.bsky.social · 5d ago"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.
How can y’all say that when Forbidden Solitaire is right there!?

I have a great need for a Slayerfest '98 shirt but alas all the available options online are a bit meh
Older generations will never understand that some people fucking hate the taste of alcohol and maybe we don't need to feel out of control to feel better about our shitty lives
Mic Wright@brokenbottleboy.bsky.social · 2w agoYeah, those young idiots without drinking problems.
Yes, I'm sure that's why Americans pronounce all these words that way
Merriam-Webster@merriam-webster.com · 2w agomacabre = “muh-KAHB” Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer” omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt” reticent = “RET-uh-sunt” epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee” myriad = "MEER-ee-ud" Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.
If you use AI and you purport to be a real artist, suck a massive dick
jess m. ☕🍂@jametc.bsky.social · 2w agoPlease be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made
Looked at Paris completely reinventing it's public transport/cycle network and said fuck that noise we want more pollution
Leo Murray@crisortunity.bsky.social · 2w agoPleased to see Tories are still incapable of learning the lesson that “ending the war on motorists” is not an election winning stance in London, which has the highest walking & cycling rates, lowest car ownership & best public transport of anywhere in Britain. It’s like they don’t know any of this
Literally never seen anyone more balanced and thoughtful than Jon Ronson.
Elizabeth Taylor@elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · 2w agoLOL
Literally lived my entire life feeling like I was one mistake away from horrific collapse
Sarah Kurchak@fodderfigure.bsky.social · 2w ago“If you’re smart and attractive, they let you raw dog AHDH and autism until your life falls apart.” Oh really? And what if I told you that the rest of us less desirable wretches were also raw dogging until things fell apart, that moment just came a lot sooner for some of us?
Each year, I track the the health of the games industry by the one true objective metric available: how big is the Gamescom tractor? I'm afraid it's bad news this year After a notable increase from '24 to '25 (see quotes), the 2026 tractor is back to 2024 sizes, indicating an industry in decline

Having spent years learning French I have discovered that basically every trait the French are proud of and think is innately French is one that the English think is innately English, and this is presumably why they fight
🎺🌊Harrison In Hoenn 🌊🎺@harrisoninhoenn.bsky.social · 2w agoSimilar to how everyone who speaks English thinks saying “no, yeah” and “yeah, no” is a linguistic quirk of wherever they live.
If all your songs have the verse chorus verse chorus breakdown chorus structure and you're playing festivals of over 100k people you are playing pop music and metal fans just need to accept that
Spent all his money on shitty ass hair implants
Dr Dean Burnett@drdeanburnett.bsky.social · 2w agoMy next book has a whole section on the psychology behind "People becoming successful by simply lying about already being successful then charging other people to learn their 'secrets' about how to become successful". This would make a perfect case study, but I doubt the legal team will go with it.
I have been reading Nemesis and Shakara recently and I can confirm they are absolutely bananas

one of the things that infuriates me about peter thiel's crackpot interpretation of WATCHMEN is that it gets this line exactly backwards
