also not the point but there’s a 12-year-old in some middle school somewhere right now getting absolutely scorched by his friends for still saying “girls for the win!”

Not important, but back in the Twitter days I posted about seeing (my true love) Huey Lewis shred on harmonica live & added some dumb joke like, “So suck it, John Popper!” Did not tag him or follow him. Within like, 2 MINUTES he sent me some wild reply, so he must have name-searched himself NONSTOP?

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

My own mother told me *I* was a paid protestor; she’d call after a protest & say something about Soros & I’d be like, “How’s that work? Will I get the check in the mail? Is he writing all these checks by hand & licking the stamps?” She’d scoff & still not believe me that I hadn’t been paid to go.

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert, and a picture of the band/ artist. Savannah Civic Center, Hank Williams Jr. I was like, 6. My uncle took me; don't know if it was because no one could babysit me or what. I remember my tiny mind being blown by Hank playing every instrument.

I think about this in how the guy who ran MySpace sold his company and then traveled the world doing photography, while the guy who runs Facebook never let it go and has gone out of his way to destroy democracy in order to gain more power.

My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I gotta pin my formerly pinned tweet here because I genuinely think about it a lot; I wrote this down as soon as he said it at the Pulp doc premiere in L.A., and still try to keep it in mind when making anything.

As a child, I was told by many cartoons & comics that we would have future robots to do the boring-ass chores like dishes & laundry so we could spend that time reading & writing & watching movies & listening to/making music & thinking & pondering INSTEAD. It sucks so much we got the OPPOSITE of that

Everyone I know who deals with this isn't the "snubber." (Rare) phone calls w/ my mom always go like this: Me: Hello? Her: Hi. Me: How's it going? Her: *immediately launches into how I'm going to hell for not supporting Trump, who is going to heaven* But it's a "snub" to not want to hear that shit?

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.
