I've been thinking a lot lately is that if/when the AI bubble bursts the economy that will collapse is not representative of reality, it is the circular economy of billionaires investing in each other so their valuations go up even though that cash doesn't actually exist so like, let's go already.

From all accounts, the Grinch deserved his diss track meticulously crafted by my man Thurl, but I still don’t know what Parson Brown did to deserve that drive-by (i.e. making fun of his snowman-like appearance) in a song about a winter wonderland.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Very strange to show a Kill Bill double feature and tack on a 10 minute Fortnite commercial after the credits designed to ruin your theatre experience.

The day after Thanksgiving really is ‘The Purge’ of meals.
“My breakfast? Why it was a cup of coffee, a slice of pumpkin pie, kale salad, inexplicably a handful of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, a spoonful of some sort of potato, and it was all legal to do so.”

If scientists have some new computer code that makes their specific work more efficient then great. I don’t give a shit but go for it man. But that’s not what this is all about at all. It’s a supposed culture changing force we’re all being pressured into genuflecting in front of and paying for.

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.
