Shakespeare wrote that life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.. which may be true, but it's perfect for us "sound and fury" heads

After the AI bubble I hope the next bubble is Laser Tag. Laser tag arenas on every street corner. Blacklight lit battlefields propping up every sector of the economy. A one story building by the side of the highway called “Blast Zone: Pizza & Arcade” valued at $2.7 trillion

Horrendous 👍
Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).
When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

There's that. But also: Platner, as I understand it, is a business owner who went to an elite college, whose parents were a lawyer and a restaurant owner, and whose grandfather is a successful and famous architect. So it's interesting to ask what "authentic working-class" means in this context.
Fuck this. If “Nazi tattoo” doesn’t cross the line, you have no line.

My dad had only one 1/4" reel in his not-extensive music collection: a dub of the piece "Fractured Mirror," which he dubbed at work from a new LP. He didn't have an open reel machine to listen off of at home. I think he just loved it enough to preserve it on principle

![On May 27, the last day of filming, Criss and tour manager Fritz Postlethwaite were involved in a serious car accident. Postlethwaite suffered burns but soon returned to work for Kiss. Criss's injuries were minor.[8] On a few occasions, Frehley left the set during filming due to arguments with the film's director. In one scene that Frehley abandoned, his stunt double — African American Alan Oliney, who would later go on to stunt double for Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes, among others — can clearly be seen instead.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vgwy2b3rrcewfdazrkanjbg4/bafkreidjmzurq6vyzerdp7ssgzw73fb2gpnofp32bbmetymkhnlfdyel2a@jpeg)

I "get" the fascist appeals to nostalgia that are about what if you were successful with a beautiful family. And there were no more obstacles in your life. But I see they're going with the less powerful "I sawr a fish at the store"
This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.
