It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley
Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
Gerontocracy is bad. It produces bad governance by ancient and out of touch people. It’s hugely disruptive when they all start dropping at the same time. And it diverts what little energy these people have for doing their actual jobs to succession battles.
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 4w agoThe thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters. The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.
I was JUST talking with a friend the other day about the sameness of all the AI (often Canva) posters and logos all over town and how grim and bland it is. Does everything HAVE to look like shit all the time? Can we just go back to handwritten index cards on the community bulletin board?

I do think it significantly diminishes any theological insight a religious position has if it is tied to a belief in a truly-unending Hell for those who reject it Like just… that’s cheating. That’s the ultimate mind virus. If your religion needs that, I get to judge
Former Ohio Congressional candidate Carl Setzer delivered a masterclass testimony against data centers on June 1. A clip:
the campaign ad which is just sex workers praising him would also be incredible. "He took me to the water park, smoked some crack, went down on me, and asked if he could help with my kids' school fees. I still consider him a close personal friend."
Thorne 🌸@ens0.me · 2mo agoHunter Biden would unironically make a great politician, and I'm tired of pretending he wouldn't - fairly progressive liberal - people love a comeback story of someone who triumphed over their demons - feeds desire for political spectacle well - massive name recognition
charlie brown had four women express sincere romantic interest in him over the course of the 'peanuts' comic strip, two of which he even dated, and that's not even counting animated stuff. but i don't know how to express this as a point of discourse without calling a bunch of eight year olds "hos"
they’re trying to build a mountain bike trail at wildcat canyon regional park and a lady on nextdoor says you can’t because of “energies” in the canyon and refuses to elaborate
Man, Alan Jackson respected that woman’s boundaries and he didn’t even complain, he just got a burger and a grape sno-cone and was happy with it.

That’s stupid thing to say. I was clearly mad from the start of this thread. I didn’t suddenly get mad when your dumb ass showed up.
Elmer is obviously attracted to Bugs in a way that Bugs is more aware of than Elmer but I don't think Bugs totally understands the depths of how reciprocal it is on his end. A fascinating relationship.

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power
