It's 2025 and I still have to force-quit the file browser whenever a remote share goes away. This will still be true after the singularity.

Nothing feels quite so demeaning as listening to an absolute banger hard rock tune while patiently waiting to make a left turn into never-ending traffic.

Generally speaking when an awful roommate starts ruining the apartment, it's the good roommates that leave and let the awful roommate take over the place. This may or may not describe where I'm at with the state of the US.

It just occurred to me that we should spend a lot less time in school studying the classics and what made them great, and spend a lot more time studying garbage sensationalist propaganda and what makes it terrible yet compelling.

It’s like Godzilla vs. Hedorah — you’re not rooting for either one, you just hope they destroy each other without taking the rest of us down with them.

I just realized - the fawning ChatGPT behavior we find distasteful is exactly what the c-suite royalty get from their subordinates… but they like it and believe it.

I wonder the last time anyone in the McDonald’s executive team had a hamburger. I mean the basic $2.69 (!) burger. It’s funny how not good it is.

Netflix pulling Bandersnatch got me to finally play last night -- I grew up a huge fan of Choose Your Own Adventure books, and Bandersnatch was absolutely great. A shame they're dropping interactive film. I still think it's a cool and interesting medium.

Just remember, anyone that comments positively on finally having a pope from America is talking about DEI.

Putin has announced an Easter cease-fire. Nothing demonstrates the completely fake, performative nature of modern Christianity than pausing your genocidal invasion for religious points, and then resuming the killing of Ukrainian children the next day.

Hey, I just remembered that Pete Hegseth and Mike Waltz leaked classified battle plans through their raging incompetence and we've already moved on with no consequences. If that doesn't make clear that the US is in failed-state territory, I don't know what will.

After Trump & supporters spent the past week praising his tariffs, he backs down. "Spine of Steel" my ass. Must be nice to manipulate the market without consequences.

Went to the Las Vegas protests today - looking good LV. Keep it up. Grow the resistance. We’re just getting started.

What bothers me even more than these nonsensical tariffs is that when the damage is done he’ll blame everyone else and a whole lot of people will believe it.

I know Kilmer had far more iconic roles, but little me will always remember his swashbuckling Madmartigan in Willow. RIP, Val.

And Booker wasn't phoning it in. I tuned in now and then and didn't hear any filler. Just real talk and passion for America. Can we get a few hundred more like him?

So proud of Booker -- I didn't realize the symbolism of his speech: breaking the record set in 1957 by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. Wow. Well done.

No April Fools - Cory Booker has been on the Senate floor speaking for 19 hours straight against Trump and his awful policies. Yet not a single mention on Google News’s front page. Our media has utterly failed. AP and CSPAN have coverage, but you have to go directly.

Apparently "majuscule" is a word. It's the opposite of "miniscule". Both words are from typesetting. Sadly only made the jump to regular usage.

The goal of taxing the rich isn’t to generate revenue. It’s to make hoarding wealth so inefficient that they’re better off letting that money go towards employee wages, price competition, and R&D, like it did 50 years ago.

FDR and Churchill didn’t defeat the Nazis, public sector employees did. What’s your point, Elon? That leadership matters? Couldn’t agree more.

Ever notice how Trump never stands up to anyone with any power? He just goes after the vulnerable. Over and over. And some people see this as strength. It's cowardice. Pure, unadulterated cowardice. Strength is standing up for the vulnerable against those with power.

Today Marco Rubio said, in berating an ally "And say thank you because without Starlink Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now." -- so there goes any BS that they don't see the danger. And yet they continue to appease Putin. Cowards.
