She/Her - mostly posting about food, entertainment, and my dog. Have I mentioned my dog?!? Opinions are my own.
Counter question: how old are you? But seriously, it makes me sad to read something like this because it reinforces that this software is meant to be addictive. It's meant to make you feel like you're better with it when it's actively making work worse.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
I mean... Relatable.
in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
I think linkedin might be where the most unhinged online rants live now.
There are fewer folks braver, I think, than those that are "going after the money" of the rich and powerful.
I think there's a case to be made that we should care whether people in power are, in fact, total jerks. In today's video, I muse about exactly that: why isn't empathy treated as a prerequisite to shape public opinion or policy? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Bah! Classic elder millennial. I always find out things like "you could have used your exposure to r-rated films from infancy to get into a good school" too late!

is there some future competitive advantage with college admissions if you deafened your child to Ludwig Göransson
It's a big deal to accuse a writer of using AI to write. It's a big deal to spread disinfo that there is software that can detect whether a piece of writing was AI generated. It's rediculous to assume emdash = AI. Osbourne should apologize for this and make the apology as loud as the accusation.
So, Jack Osbourne has yet to delete or clarify his videos that falsely claim I used AI to write an article. Lots of people have encouraged me to sue him, which as I explain here, isn’t realistic. But I greatly appreciate the support for me and @spitfirenews.com. spitfirenews.com/p/jack-osbou...
If this makes you mad, wait till you find out how much the tax payers give to billionaires for nothing!
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Say what you will about Tom Cruise (and you can say a lot), but he's actually at his best when he's playing villian roles. He'd HAVE a damn Oscar by now if he would just lean in.
This Odyssey stuff...you guys are thinking too hard! Just eat your ridiculously big popcorn in the dark air conditioned room and relax! It's supposed to be fun!

Enjoying the last day of a long weekend. Starting with revisiting old music videos. This Primus video for Mr.Krinkle was considered controversial when it came out, but watching now...I don't know. It's just weird, not offensive. Song still slaps.

All the cool kids in Jr.High had Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Or if not, like me, had recorded all the music videos (which were all incredible) on VHS.
Smashing Pumpkins are the ultimate teenage band, nothing really hits like "and God is empty, just like me" when you're 13
Finally watched The Devil Wears Prada 2. Loved it! So glad it was such a solid sequel, and yes, it took 20ish years for us to get it but I'm honestly glad because it actually had a relevant message. It makes sense for a sequel to come out now.
Sally Field in this scene from Steel Magnolias honestly makes me emotional every time

Name a film where someone's heart breaks.
I think Kat puts it pretty perfectly here. Anyone who professes to KNOW something was written by AI just by looking at it is probably talking out their ass using either the faultiest of logic or some snake oil software that is the equivalent of asking a magic 8 ball.
So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.

Aestheticlly cool, yes! but if I am the one that has to clean it, I don't want it. Too many crevices.

I thought Nickleback was saying "Little women must have damn near killed you" when How You Remind Me came out in the early oughts.
Anybody have a favorite misheard lyric? When I was a kid I thought "werewolves of london" was "where was the thunder".
Watching the Alice in Chains MTV unplugged from 1996. Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell's vocal harmonies are so good. Even though Layne is in poor health due to his drug addiction and Cantrell was apparently sick from food poisoning they still give one of the most beautiful performances.
I know it might be too on the nose (though no more than Louis calling himself Thomas Pitt), but I wish Lestat sang a cover of Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting in the show just once. Maybe next season.

We are going to find out that it was Nic Cage that stole his own film as part of another movie he was filming where he plays himself stealing his own movie from netflix. It'll be a hit.
Cage's new film Fortitude was allegedly sitting on an unencrypted drive in Netflix's offices when someone walked off with it.
Kids will never experience the screaming arguments and days of fighting in the pre-internet days that came with SWEARING to your siblings that it was "so and so" in older movie or TV show and NOT "other so and so" goddammit! And having no way to concretely prove either way who is right.
"I'M GOING WITH YOU, RIGHT?!" My guy every office day. And yes bud, you are!
