When the tribunals begin Mark Zuckerberg needs to be tried on a number of charges and one of the lesser ones is training older people on Facebook to think they can comment on anything by anyone on other social media in an overly familiar prescriptive way
I hate commercials that force me, almost completely against my will, to think "wow, nice rack"
Current political reporting is like if you and your coworkers spent all day debating what your boss waa going to think of the work rather than actually doing it
uncommitted withheld their votes for specific and well-founded policy reasons ultimately revealed to have been morally and technically correct. stevens voters are going to withhold their votes out of spite and gutter racism
Look, I'm just saying Logan's Run might have had the right idea

When it comes to music production I've always been a "tools don't matter, only results" guy. If you use pro tools and auto tune or melodyne to make great music, then great. AI music is different though, because it's automated plagiarism. Literally all music you make will be derivative
the richest guy in the world could be building a top-flight studio in space to record the effects of weightlessness on rock, but he isn't, because he's the sort of jackass who puts a car in space instead of a piano. and a leslie rotating speaker, that thing probably gets all squirrelly up there
Contrary to popular reports, I am not fighting a battle you know nothing about. You are hearing about it constantly. I refuse to shut up about it
