Works in SF. Lives in Berkeley. Hides in trees.
I ❤️ this—it’s obvious that Haus is not attacking economic literacy or objective data, and instead commenting on the glib and dismissive tone of some people in the conversation, and yet those same people feel so called out that they attack it with the same tone they’ve been called out for Brilliant
holy moly @hausofdecline.bsky.social in @inthesetimes.com ???
I love how all three of them are this 🤏 close to breaking the whole time
🚨GLOVES OFF🚨 Tim and his ex duke it out on air. InfoWarriors, it's time to weigh in: who deserves that horse?
@dominos-pizza.bsky.social Every day? Do you think pizza is that important to *anyone*? Why are you being weirdos? (I had to block their email because the unsubscribe link wasn’t working)
Chicago style (mustard, tomatoes, pickle, onions, relish, sport peppers, celery salt, no fucking ketchup)

Maybe Mitch McConnell isn’t dead. Instead, he’s conscious but locked in, feeling every minute stretched out to infinity, spending every second begging for his sweet final release So anyways, I had some scrambled eggs with bell peppers and sausages this morning and they were *fantastic*

AI-generated music and video sounds and looks like shit, and for a long time I didn’t have any worry about it impacting musicians and artists all that much But I found out most people keep the bullshit visual smoothing and sharpening defaults turned on with their TVs and now I’m deeply concerned
Went to “Whose Live Anyway” show for my son’s birthday and it was one of the funniest comedy shows I’ve ever seen. Improv can be super cringe sometimes but there wasn’t a single stinker the whole 90 minutes. Absolute masters of the craft on display tonight.
This is such bullshit I could fit at least eight babies in there
Hey if a man child wants to weaponizes incompetence, I’d rather it’s directed to an AI than a partner

Every state that has Dem control needs to look like this If we’re min-maxing gerrymandering, the GOP has less to gain because they’ve relied more heavily on it for the past few decades, while Dems could probably net 40 or more seats if we focus on making districts shaped like wiggly Fire Islands
During the pandemic, @unwoman.com and I made a couple of bardcore songs, including a cover of “Don’t Stop Believing” (youtu.be/8uFlLXcfMNM) I had sent an early mix that had drums panned too hard and vocals too reverb-heavy, and when I received a note about it, I agreed and replied with this:
Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, dreamworks, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli. Getting more hardcore challenging. GIF

my sister got me hooked on the extremely lesbian crime dramedy “Deadloch” and my two favorite jokes so far are: —sign in an outdoor gear store saying NOW IS THE WINTER OF OUR DISCOUNT TENTS —referring to sex standing up as “portrait mode”
Not sure why Stancil can’t understand that inflation is calculated using the Consumer Price Index, which is doesn’t properly account for housing costs and weighs things like electronic goods too heavily rather than life essentials Working class are absolutely struggling to pay for day-to-day needs
Riddle of the Sphynx except it’s: Had a Boo-Boo -> Ate Shit -> Had a Fall
The thing about AI-generated media is that the more you look at it, the worse it gets, and that makes it the antithesis of real art. Anytime I watch a favorite film or look at a fantastic painting, I notice new details that make me love it more

The funniest thing about OpenAI pivoting to sexbots is that they realized it’s the only way to make real profit Can’t recoup nearly a trillion of investments from writing emails and thank you notes? Maybe get millions and millions of lonely people addicted to a love app for $99/mo

“Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” Alois asked again, more insistently. “Knock knock.” And so it went for years. It wasn’t until his deathbed that Alois realized he was on the outside of the door. (Happy b-day, Franz!)

The new Running Man trailer looks *terrible*. It’s going to be worse than the Total Recall and Robocop remakes Who’s behind these 80s remakes? Jimmy Savile? They keep fucking our childhood #runningman #therunningman
This guy was mentioned in the news and I had to look him up to if I heard it right—his name is so *absurdly* French that it sounds like what you’d get if someone had to quickly make up an alibi who lives in Montreal It’s like a German named Klaus Von Sauerkraut. Or a Brit named Benedict Cumberbatch
So I shouted out “THE CONDIMENT BAR!!” at the top of my lungs
