trying to have a good time (as long as I don’t think about it too much) they/them

I've been thinking about the idea of "power corrupts" and how I still don't believe it's true. Apparently an unpopular belief, but I think power reveals, that it shows someone for who they are and sometimes that is for the worse.

a gamechanger: Use the “Text Replacement” feature to replace “@@“ with your email address

gf just showed me the thing where you can easily move the text cursor by swiping r-l on the phone keyboard space bar and I am so gd mad rn WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU PEOPLE BEEN KEEPING FROM ME

Can’t stop thinking about the nightmare Supreme Court rulling re: presidential immunity.

If you find this concerning, consider supporting @archive.org which is doing the work today that will be crucial for historians of the future! archive.org

One of the interesting things about the Internet is that we’re actually living through a dark age. Future historians are unlikely to have records of this period. Paper and ink last. Digital storage, less so. variety.com/2024/tv/news...

Do the people & businesses using AI art not understand how ugly it is? How bad it looks for their brand? Are we really approaching a future where we don’t even have nice-looking advertisements?

I miss Twitter. Not the weird ugly thing that replaced it, but the website & community that doesn’t exist any more. The guy who kept air-frying a hotdog? Fucking the Text Man For Texts? Bean Dad?? Will I ever again experience anything like when we all found out Mardoll was a nepo baby at Lockheed?

Make America Better With One Easy Trick

Biden and the Dems will never popularism themselves out of the border bind because MAGA is *right* about Democrats and open borders. Time to stop cringing from this and embrace it. Freedom of movement embodies our deepest values of liberty, democracy, equality, diversity, and justice. #OpenBorders

can the ISO please publish a standard on the cream-cheese/bagel ratio because every time I order it’s either way too much or too little

Albini never compromised his ideals, refused to take royalties from record sales, detested pop music, despised the corporate commodification of art, yet still managed to reckon thoughtfully with the edgelord ignorance of his youth. One of the last true punks.

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

I was reading a book on music marketing and the author destroyed their credibility in one paragraph by hyping up cryptocurrency and NFTs for musicians. At best, dealing with cryptocurrency is extremely risky and fraught with scams with little evidence for upsides beyond hypothetical conjectures.

I got two out of four right

Smashing Pumpkins are accepting public submissions for a third guitarist. My predictions, for posterity! - It will be a woman - She will be relatively unknown - She will be crazy talented - She’ll have a low-key personality

Everything is, obviously, depressing, but it is actually really heartwarming to see all the college kids protesting Israel's genocide. I love them

happy “file for an extension” day for those who celebrate

I love when I’m trying to find an obscure video on YouTube and the search results go from “popular videos related to your search” to “popular videos that have nothing to do with your search”

I encounter this bizarre assumption that, because I’m vegetarian, I substitute meat with green bell peppers 🫑 no, I do not want it on my pizza, no I don’t want it stuffed, no I don’t want them in my stir-fry! “Well then what *do* you like?” as if those are your only options

Bell peppers are gross. Their smell, their texture, their taste. The way they leave their smell on knives, so you can taste them on other food chopped with the same knife. Terrible. They're only acceptable when pulverized and cooked down to particles, like in etouffee.

I gave my Lyft driver 4/5 stars for missing a few turns and Lyft was like “don’t worry, you’ll never ride with this awful, awful man again. We have contacted the police. His license will be suspended. We will take him to court and push for the death penalty.”

While we’re at it, if I die in some remarkably graphic/disturbing way on camera, my ghost will haunt anyone who posts it to social media for attention

This is how I imagine the cybertruck got made

Condé Nast is merging Pitchfork with the men’s magazine GQ and laying off half the staff. Pitchfork used to have a unique POV and was way to find cool indie music; eventually it turned into “new Drake album is a 6/10” so I can’t say I’m surprised or disappointed.
