I don’t quite understand how elections work in Parliamentary countries but in America, we just have the same people run over and over again forever every four years on the same date but, and this is important, the campaigning and discussion never ends and is nonstop and impossible to avoid anyway.

I just heard that the NYT @nytimes.com has mentioned Biden’s age 192 times in the last week and Project 2025 6 times. If that doesn’t tell you the Grey Lady has gone fascist I don’t know what does.

TIL that Kurosawa (rightfully) sued Sergio Leone for stealing the plot of “Yojimbo” to make “A Fistful of Dollars”

The New York Times Crisis of Confidence: badly shaken in the wake of bad editorial decisions, many are calling for the paper to resign.

If you can't do this local protests at your state capitol are also good. DC is really far away from most of the country's population tbh. Reverse Jan 6 (they did some bs here in Sacramento that day I don't see why we can't give it back to em 🤷🏾)
July 24th, at the US Capitol. Let Netanyahu know how you feel about the genocide he is spearheading.

it's disability pride month so I'd better not see you fuckers being casually ableist for a short primer, this includes words like "stupid" "lame" "insane" "crazy" and phrases like "are you blind?!" and "falling on deaf ears" real quick solution, use accurate language. or just shut your mouth

I have about 50 hours in Elden Ring. Never beat the original, and I generally really suck at the game but I have fun exploring around with my cheesy Astrologer. But I find the story so inscrutable that every time I read a “spoiler” I have no idea what or whom they are talking about.

How did I never realize (until The Acolyte) that Manny Jacinto is hot as fuck

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

“BREAKING: the President has a cold” and “The President isn’t as cognitively aware after 4PM” has to be some of the most tragicomic damage control in the history of political science.

Time to watch this week’s episode of “House of Horrible Assholes Being Horrible to Each Other”. For those who don’t know that’s a spinoff of “Game of Assholes”.

Edgy Gen Z remake of “Juice” called “Rizz” and in the end (spoilers) someone yells “you got the RIZZ now”. Starring Kendrick and Drake (the behind the scenes drama will provide free marketing).

Not that this will change anything but we as a society should never let John Roberts (or history) forget that he presides over the most corrupt, untrusted, garbage, dogshit court in the history of the United States and this should absolutely be remembered as his legacy.

I think the last good tech story was the people of Philadelphia murdering Hitchbot and leaving his body as a warning for other robots

❌ And he piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the rage and hate of his entire race from Adam down. If his chest had been a mortar, he’d have shot his hot heart’s shell upon it. ✅ Angry man hit fish
❌ It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. ✅ A guy with money needs to get married. Everybody knows this.

It occurred to me that tech CEOs don’t realize that “AI hallucinations” are not fixable. They think this is a typical “break now and fix later” thing. This isn’t fixable. And that’s patently obvious to many of us. How do these “leaders” get and keep their jobs?

I have survived this awful week, barely. Only one thing left to do…

This week has defeated me. You win, this week. I lost a pet I loved (way, way too soon), I’ve had a migraine for days, deeper anxiety than usual, and all this has triggered a depression episode. I don’t usually like to post “personal” stuff like this but I feel so lost and empty and tired.

Watched Furiosa last night and loved it. Most of the movie I was like “Chris Hemsworth has such a fake Australian accent, it’s hilarious”. Then I looked him up and apparently he’s Australian.

An hour into “Still Wakes the Deep” and loving it. “Oil rig in 1975 off the coast of Scotland” is a great setting for horror.
