I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Nowhere to go except my fucking stomach's core
And if it digs, oh, would it be enough
To rid the feelings in my guts?
When you hear me will you see my face?
When you hear me will you see my face or my swan song?
With a rotting heart and with sin
I'll begin

There's just something about December and
The way your eyes seem a little bit brighter at night
We laid on the hillside and watched cars as they drove by
I can still feel you breathing
When I told you that you're all I have
I meant it with everything that I had

If I had to bet on the main thing that has radicalized people against "ai," and I am talking about the way that branding is CURRENTLY BEING USED, not whatever specialized ML utility you may have found for it, it would be in apps and tech they already use being made worse and/or inoperable by it

My 1st semester students had to propose research topics this week and usually they are exactly what you would expect but this semester they were like (paraphrasing) "Billionaires Are Bad, Actually" and "Immigration Policy Is Dumb and Cruel" and "But What If We Just Had A Revolution?"

Last night @kcktho.bsky.social was like "so is yoga your job now" and it's not but it sure feels like it

I just took a long hot bath in my parents' Jacuzzi tub and I feel like a tiny newborn baby. I am a new person

if you make "getting a beer with your friends after work" inaccessible to people who work at the grocery store then what the fuck do you suppose is going to happen

Gentlemen, Valentine's Day is tomorrow, so please be mindful of whether your lady prefers gold or silver. If she only uses silver and you buy her a gold amulet, she'll be forced to recalibrate all her alchemetrics before she can harness its arcane power

me like "oh this new drone track is tight" and it's actually the refrigerator kicking on
Have you ever heard what you thought was the greatest death metal song ever only to discover it was chicken bones stuck in your garbage disposal? That’s what being middle aged is like.

If more people studied history, they'd know that the things present-day rightwing arseholes say about women are just the things the Nazis said about women, which are just the things that a bunch of 18th-century pricks said about women, as soon as modernity started to give them opportunities.

a reporter could get trump to confess to everything by asking him if he just wasnt famous enough to go to the island, just say youve heard he “never had the juice”

Tell me, do you even know what they're made of
All those things that you keep telling me you feel
Can you see all the things that you're afraid of?
Can you look me in my eyes and say they're real
Yeah, sometimes I get loose
Cause I'm too afraid to face it
I don't wanna let go of you

it's funny bc my other male friends complain that this content is relentlessly shoved into their SM feeds no matter how often they click "not interested" or block various creators. more just pop up in their wake.
the minute the fb algorithm clocks you as a straight man it immediately sets about trying to destroy your life & endanger those around you
