This thread. The real bubble is “AI” billionaire bullshit bubble.

I cannot rest from discourse. I will see that film again tomorrow. I will drink life to the lees. Again I will enjoy greatly, will suffer greatly, both with those that love me, and in Pleasantville NY. I am become a meme. Film showing: burnsfilmcenter.org/booking/the-...

The oldest book in my personal library was published in 1855. 191 years old. I’ve had it for about 30 of those years. Some of “my” books I’ve had for 50+ years. I hope to pass them on to those who will read, care, keep and pass them on in their turn. I want to shred those who would shred them.

I'm not saying it was hard before, but they just made misinformation, their whole platform now. Are we only to believe physical negatives as photographic proof now? The potential misery they are unleashing is diabolical.

Being mortal creatures with limited time and energy, it is totally natural that human outrage is selective. If you tried to do work on every injustice and horror on this earth, you would collapse into an exhausted ball of trauma it is absolutely fine for you to select a cause that is yours

I loved her translation. I enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed her review. It's weirdly easy to do so.
It's a completely ridiculous demand, that Democrats force the GOP to remove McConnell so they can gain a vote in the Senate. Why the hell would we want that? The only accounts promoting it are bots and people who are so stupid they're effectively about as conscious as bots.
Mitch McConnell isn't dead, but he is dying, and the best possible situation for Democrats is the one we have now, where he's too sick to leave the hospital but too stubborn to resign, and you should be extremely suspicious of people demanding Democrats rescue the GOP from this situation.
The kerfuffle over Nolan's Odyssey motivated me to dust off Fagle's translation, which I bought in 1998; now rereading. Yesterday I bought Wilson's version, and Emily Hauser's Penelope's Bones, largely because of Wilson's witty response to Nolan (plus her tattoos, I confess).
