The wonderful thing about this famous picture is that it was taken as we were all standing in front of Chuck Schumer’s office and it shows Aaron absolutely going OFF on him. Thirteen years ago, and Aaron was right as always. (Thx to @self.agency for capturing the moment!)

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗

Continually annoyed that the AI overloads have made it unfun to just post cool photography that I take online.

Yesterday saw Bottoms; Hilarious queer ultra violence and insanity. Do recommend. Laughed out loud several times.
Tonight saw Oldboy remastered; and once again Park Chan-wook hits me with a film that I will have to take a minute to process.
