nico seems to really dig schoenberg because he's "silly" and you know what? the kid's right. serialism is incredibly silly. There's a real humor to this work that I never picked up on until the toddler pointed it out. out of the mouths of babes, and all that.

okay so the thing about a poem is that it's more than just "a lot of really rich detail in really rich language"

Crazy that we use "sucks dick" as an insult. Dick sucking is such a cool thing to do for someone, and a cool thing to receive. It should be the highest compliment, really. "Dude you gotta play Corpse Party. It sucks so much dick."

I am a chauvinist about one thing and one thing only: Americans are the only people who can rap good

This drives me insane, and it's part of why chatbots have so little allure for me. I don't want the robot to tell me what it thinks I need, I want to find it myself! Do not interpose another layer between me and the world!

Sorry chatbot lovers but the waning of Boolean operators in most search functions on websites has made my life actively worse. You can't find anything, you can only have things suggested to you.

it's so funny how badly our fascist overlords bungled the semiquincentennial. no better proof that all the "we love america" bullshit is just posturing they do for the hogs. they couldn't even shut off the grifter grindset long enough to throw a proper party.

Orangutans are clearly just guys. You shouldn't be able to keep them in a zoo.

If I were an onlyfans model I'd start a podcast about neuroscience and call it Thot Process

When adults are really seriously into youth sports, that's a form of spiritual pedophilia

You mean to tell me that when we handed the police a nationwide surveillance system, they immediately used it to harass their exes? www.technologyreview.com/2026/08/13/1...

Flock is tightening its rules in response to a growing surveillance backlash

The company is imposing new guardrails on its police tech after reports that officers are abusing it and cities are dropping contracts. But the changes leave glaring loopholes.

Sonny Boy's "Monkey Baseball" episode is criminally underrated. (Whole show is criminally underrated, really.)

A concise 12-13 episodes doesn’t give you any time for the baseball episode. An anime TV series is not complete without a baseball episode. We’ve got to do something about this

You can tell a lot about a person based on how they respond to 4'33''. By which I mean that those who respond negatively are fucking troglodytes.

what's crazy is that beethoven's fifth actually does go hard if you give it a chance

republicans called Joe Biden a communist. every democrat is fucking mao zedong to them. shut up.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3mo ago

The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.

comedy has definitely gotten way worse since the pandemic, and this is because comedians are a very stupid people.

"being outside in these conditions for an extended period of time is the equivalent of smoking 20 cigarettes" oh i used to do that every day. for years. that's nothing. you'll be fine.

i used to have this noble savage view. living in rural ohio for a bit completely disabused me of it. these people aren't "voting against their interests" or "disempowered." ensuring the suffering of the people they don't like is simply more important to them than bettering their own lives.

Jane@jane.meangirls.online · 3mo ago

I think rural red areas should have hospitals and mail and broadband but I want people to be clear eyed about what rural America is and isn’t, and what it definitely emphatically isn’t is a sleeping giant of left wing revolutionaries in waiting or even a reliable source of potential Democrat voters.

oh you're having trouble selling your poetry? well, the first issue is you're trying to sell poetry. so there's your problem right there.

It's bedtime. The toddler is rolling himself all over the bed like a rolling pin. Me: Nico, buddy, it's time to settle down and sleep. What are you doing? Nico, very softly: I'm just trying my tricks.
