A day of remembrance and celebration Happy Fade In The Water day

I hope this guy just drives around town cheering everyone on.

Someone in the work slack is selling a good pair of headphones and I'm there pondering if they are in *that* world. Do they know Zeos

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

This really animates a lot of people in power right now. Like a LOT.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

The Beach Boys are definitely starting to resonate with me as I get older: Beaches, cars, cool girls, debilitating mental breakdown

yes we are gatekeeping how people get dopamine. We have done this since society began. For instance, we arrested John Wayne Gacy for chasing dopamine his preferred way

So now we are gatekeeping how one obtains dopamine? The big takeaway from posts like yours and the rest comes down to: Questioning his claim because it is not your experience, so therefore something is amiss.

billy woods rapped "The English language is violence, I hotwired it / I got a hold of the master's tools and got dialed in," and those lines are not lost on me as I edit stories

Any movie studio not making a movie about Eric Adams is leaving money on the table

"You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts. "You're here to steal our water!" yells another. Hell Gate spoke with activists in Wisconsin fighting a proposed data center....and Eric Adams?

A lot of people and places have debased themselves over AI slop and we aren't gonna forget that.

Catching an episode of the first season of Trailer Park Boys on a random Sunday night in 2001 with no idea what the show was and thinking it was real >>>>>>>>>>

today's youth will never have the experience of scrolling the 40 or so channels you had at 1 AM on a friday night looking for something interesting or horny and catching the back half of eXistenZ without having any idea what it was

I remember seeing this clip years ago and the way Charles says "WELLLL" has remained on my mind for like a decade at this point

Until Shani’s mention of it, I hadn’t seen this 1999 Ray Charles interview. Now I have, and I’m a better person for it.

It's a tough job, but literally no one has to do it

In the last year I've really seen the light about how time speeds the hell up as you get older, no matter if you're doing or not doing things.

I wish I could talk about the job but rest assured, a lot of cool shit happens here and I'm excited about this upcoming thing happening next week. If you followed me way back when you'd see me crashing out daily from that big time news gig I was in, and I am grateful this has been the opposite 🙂‍↕️

Got the full collection of stories, lfg

Jazz.@jl3001.blacksky.app · 4mo ago

Wanting to read Flannery O'Connor now because I just found out a 30+ year old Simpsons joke obliquely references her story "A Good Man is Hard to Find"

Hey, can you do one thing for me and look up media literacy real quick before you make that thread and/or youtube video
