Me seeing people enjoy modern music is like those videos of cats being appalled by their owners being in the shower.

Living my best life and really depressed about it.
Logged onto my old threads acct just to see what’s up and holy shit! The feed is a stream of AI bullshit, engagement bait, and a sprinkling of normal posts inbetween but they are all worded in a weird sort of “please let the algorithm see me” way. Algorithms really are fucking everything up.
The only TNG character I can picture in my head taking a dump is Riker. I have no idea if this is a point in his favor or a scathing indictment.
I haven’t opened Instagram in like 3 years, and in the last week or so I’ve gotten something like 20 password recovery requests. I’d change my password, but why…it seems to be working.
Trump investing in Lockheed Martin and announcing a huge purchase agreement in 5…4…3…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: HGTV could save democracy by handing out one sweetheart home reno TV show deal.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Now we have a big decision to make. Do we take the pavers that are red -- the red, brick pavers -- and do we change them into a granite?"
This movie really is a wonder. I think it interests me less for the actual ideas being expressed than for the sheer audacity of a film showing people meeting for dinner and having an actual meaningful, deep conversation discussing ideas and truths rather than the latest gossip or water-cooler talk.
Michael Warburton@michaelwarburton.bsky.social · 2d agoThis Film often has the piss taken out of it for being a rather sedentary piece about 2 people just talking a lot — BUT — it has one of the most brilliantly prescient monologues in the history of Movies imho. MY DINNER WITH ANDRE (1981) Have a listen.

Hahahaha….pretty sure most people love Donald Trump as much as his wife Melania does (not at all).
Was listening to Hold On by Ian Gomm, and it’s a pretty nondescript pop rock song from the 80s, but at the 25 second mark when the bass comes in Herbie Flowers does a wonderful little riff and I had to rewind it 4 times to hear it again and again. So good!

Trump considers Minnesota a bigger threat than Iran. People, I keep telling you, it is fucking awesome here.
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie, and that I was the STAR of that movie!
GM was bailed out by the obama administration so that they could make some of the worst business decisions in history.
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 5d agoCompanies are all in on selling folks the idea that it’s in your best interest for your products to “know you” as if you are getting a dedicated servant but what you are really getting is a spy.
Historically, those who destroy books have surely always been the good guys….right?
Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm a brain in a vat. Then I remember that Jared Leto keeps getting work, and I realize that couldn't possibly be true because who would make that up?
This is coming from the halls of Congress. The people that Republicans are sending to Congress from their gerrymandered districts are bugfuck insane
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoRep. John McGuire: "I don't know if you heard about the BLT sandwich -- using human fetus baby parts in the vaccine when they could've used ivermectin"
If you want to know why awful, moronic shit like this is happening on the daily in this country, look no further:
Raised this shade this morning and had a visitor in the tree by my bedroom window…

It’s somehow apropos that corporate america went ahead with making Gremlins 3 despite the scathing indictment of corporate america that was Gremlins 2. You tried, Joe Dante. You tried.
CNN had a DSA person on and asked a series of yes or no policy questions like “abolish prisons, abolish the pentagon, abolish borders” to which they said “yes” each time. Ridiculous scaremongering to lay these policy positions on progressive dems who are mostly supporting the DSA for healthcare.
Today’s connections puzzle really put the cart before the horse.
Gotta give props to whoever wrote the MCU style release phases gag for the Spaceballs SDCC presentation. I mean….it’s not often you see a comedic use of the Möbius strip!
