A friend told me he compulsively checks his phone because he wants to know when It Happens, as if anyone’s gonna need to check their phones to find that out. As if it isn’t gonna be written across the sky. We live in L.A., there will be so many fireworks going off
Charlie Kirk spent his entire life disparaging immigrants, disrespecting women and blaming black folks, only to be shot by a white guy in the whitest place on earth. I don't support what happened to Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk supported what happened to Charlie Kirk

Yayoi Kusama is one of the two great kinds of fine artist: she found Her Thing and did it over and over and over with absolute precision, in as many ways as she could, on bigger and bigger canvases and stages and statements, and was always recognizably herself at all times
Unironically and with my whole chest, if you think using “clanker” to refer to LLMs is problematic, you are absolutely dumb as shit. I know this applies to least one mutual because likes are public
Tim Curry was constitutionally incapable of phoning it in. RIP to a toxic one youtu.be/hr4knvNNgtU?...

Guys. Where are the posts reminding us not to speak ill of the dead? I'm not seeing them for some reason.
It took me way too long to find out that Dolly Parton was basically Fred Rogers if he had directed his creative energies somewhat differently, and if he had been as hot as twelve supernovas
Dolly Parton with Keith Haring in 1985, incredible woman and supporter of LGBTQ people for decades going back to a time when few others dared.
Oh dear lord our God in Heaven, please, please don’t tell me SpiritHoods are back. Please. I cannot handle one more fucking thing right now

Some truly wild, how shall I put this, theory-of-mind stuff going on in these letters written to a guy who, for starters, can’t read

They should invent a bed you don’t immediately wanna go back to
Watching The Rocketeer and doing my usual thing of "how did this flop? It's the exact kind of thing that appeals to me, one guy who was two at the time!"
Maybe if the AI people yell at me for the 5 millionth time about how I’m not using their dogshit technology that has made everyone’s lives worse I’ll finally start liking it for no conceivable reason.
I cannot express this any better.... the frustration is real
