Still proud of all the work we did with the Adult Swim Festival over the five years or so we did it. My favorite might actually be 2021, where we worked with all the artists to create a virtual festival. This set by The Armed is an all timer. What a band. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WI3...

The poll in the WSJ that kicked off the entire "Joe is too old" narrative was conducted by a guy who works for a Trump Super Pac that paid him $567,000 in 2023, with close ties to Paul Manafort. Oh and he’s a former Trump 2016 Campaign staffer. newrepublic.com/post/175387/...

That Big Poll Showing Trump and Biden Are Evenly Matched? Trump Helped Pay for It.newrepublic.com The Wall Street Journal poll is being cited in all the mainstream media outlets, with no caveat that Donald Trump’s Super PAC paid one of the pollsters.

Scavengers Reign is the best science fiction that I have seen in years, and it was cancelled after its first season. It has just been nominated for an Emmy. Hopefully that will help it get a season 2. If you haven't seen it yet, it's streaming on Netflix. #scavengersreign #scifi #animation #emmy

Yup. I worked with people who had to mitigate Y2K. They were rightfully bitter about the fact that people acted like it was stupid bullshit, because they worked around the clock for months to ensure what could have come to pass... didn't. The Crowdstrike shit is exactly what they fought to prevent.

it’s exhausting to have to point this out every time the Y2K bug is brought up, but hey: it didn’t do as much damage as was feared because *lots of people worked very hard to raise awareness, prepare, and fix it*

When Gretchen Whitmer campaigned for governor, she took aim at the bottled water industry — and its unfettered access to free water. Little has changed. "She’s basically kind of ignored us for the last six years. Which is sad. I mean, she didn’t ignore us before the election.”

Michigan Bottlers Still Get Free Water, Despite Governor’s Tough Talkwww.propublica.org Tough talk followed a public outcry six years ago, but the push for policy reforms and monetary compensation has petered out.
