Dr Neal M Goldsmith (paraphrase):
We're awash in adaptations we developed as children to cope with immature parents. We didn’t shed them as adults. Instead we decided, "This is my personality, this is who I am," rather than acknowledge them as obsolete defensive mechanisms designed to earn love.

Question for you (please reply):
How much politics do you want on my Bsky? I used to scream in the wind on Twitter (knowing nobody would read or care.) My '26 New Years' Resolution is to completely ditch Twitter. Should I post those political takes here? Or should that character retire?

Still recovering from surgery so I had @samrosenthal.bsky.social make me the viral brownie pudding and it was so worth it. Turned out very yummy! Will absolutely be making it again. He also made my favorite garlic soup last night and I’m still all warm a fuzzy from it. 😍

Nice one. I'm going with the archaic definition:
"intoxicated; drunk."

Spending some time at obeygiant.com/prints/ checking out Shepard Fairey's work. He's best known for the "André the Giant Has a Posse (Obey Giant)" campaign and the Obama Hope image. There's lots more. Here are two really nice Joe Strummer posters. @obeygiant.bsky.social

“We have a minimum wage – why not a maximum wage?” Jello Biafra of The Dead Kennedys asked (in 2003). He suggested no taxes on the first $100,000 of income, and heavy taxes on the rest. “Wealth addiction is way worse than crack addiction."

Comment on a youTube video on how to retcon Dr Who to memory-hole the Jodi + Ncuti seasons:
" They should have Capaldi wake up suddenly, shake his head, say 'what a nightmare' and then regenerate properly!!!!!! Then we can go back before doc who storyline was ruined! "
For me, the problem was RTD!

This is a world destruction. Your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
The rich get richer.
The poor are getting poorer.
Fascist, chauvinistic government fools.

Cloudy future for bourbon has Jim Beam closing Kentucky distillery for a year
Jim Beam is pausing production at a Kentucky distillery for at least a year starting in 2026. The decision comes as the whiskey industry faces tariffs and declining demand.

Look at all that Blacktape vinyl!!! 👀
It took a minute, but I finally picked up Black Tape For A Blue Girl: As One A Flame Laid Bare By Desire. Now I have every major vinyl release (except The Rope which is getting a anniversary edition)
I’m pretty sure I bought all but one of these directly from the band.

I think the most illustrative example of why AI is so terrible are those fake animal videos. Sure, let's drain the fucking oceans to create videos of animals being funny, something you can easily experience by being near any given animal for 5 seconds
