I have a hunch that FaceTime and the high quality of iPhone speakers/mics are at least partially to blame for teaching people to hold the phone away from their faces while speaking

I remember in the early 1990s when I was already at the limit of Tom Robbins tolerance and he came out with a whole novel written in second fucking person, like an asshole

You can complete all the missions. You can earn all the upgrades. But it’s so frustrating that you, the director of the FBC, can never actually clear the Hiss out of the Oldest House

I emailed top USA Today editors on Friday, in the hopes that there was some misunderstanding. No response. Unilaterally feeding entire interviews into an AI slop machine is not OK. It has to stop.

Econ 101
Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

A round Earth takes up most of the video. The dayside and nightside are visible. A swirling, moving aurora is visible surrounding Earth's North Pole. There are some bright objects that speckle the background.

We're repeatedly told that the killer app for pervert glasses - Meta's AI-enabled camera glasses and their imitators - is that they will remind you of someone's name and spare you the social awkwardness of not recognizing them.
Medieval peasants working the fields in front of a walled city. Their overseer rides a horse; his head has been replaced with a robotic camera. From all sides, gory, anatomical eyeballs intrude upon the scene, each one with a different colored iris.

The whole boomer fantasy of “exposing them by going to the press and letting the world decide” has been totally shattered by real-life cable news at this point, so we really should start [redacted] the villains. Putting them on TV just makes them stronger

Last spring, we went to visit my stepmom in Arkansas; my MAGA sister and her husband flew in, and mostly spent their time vaping and storming out of the house if anyone criticized Trump. So yeah, haven’t tried having “the talk” with her

The thing I learned most during Me Too and Woke 1 is that there seem to be A LOT of stand up comics who are disgusting pieces of shit. More than just actors generally, stand up comics seem to be the worst.

Anyway once every couple weeks my daughter brings up Guy Branum’s joke where he says the only reason a trans girl would have an advantage at swimming is because “YOU WON’T LET HER TAKE THE PILLS THAT MAKE HER BAD AT SWIMMING.” 😆

A few chuckles does not make a comedy. By saying this is a comedy you’re actually mocking the point of the movie, I think. I’m not watching this to laugh and have fun. That’s what you do with comedies. I know we’re being led around by humorless pricks, but that doesn’t mean our art needs to be.
