It honeslty just shows me how much rape culture exists. With James Somerton, we all collectively agreed he didn’t deserve a platform anymore, and he disappeared. I’m sure he’s got some job somewhere, living a life. But an admitted rapist, well, he we must forgive, because some of us liked his stuff.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

Sometimes I'll hear a 80s/90s 'classic,' usually but not always hip-hop or R & B, that never played in my local markets. Didn't have MTV. Different times, different bubble.

I think it also capitalizes on the nostalgia for country music of that era, where there was a lot of pop-country overlap.

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

So far, this goose has laid an egg of pure, solid gold every day. This is terrible, as there is absolutely no potential for growth and our operation has stagnated at 1 gold egg/day. We now have a fiduciary duty to our shareholders to maximize our revenue stream by killing the goose to get more gold.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

I am who I am so I looked up the top Billboard singles the year "Hello It's Me" was released as a single (since that's his biggest chart-topper). Tony Orlando and Dawn's "Tie A Yellow Ribbon ‘Round The Ole Oak Tree" was #1 for the year. Not sure he should be mourning some lost golden era.

Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

Idaho Law Protects Faith Healers. It Wasn’t Always That Way.
From at least the 1880s through the early 1970s, it was illegal for parents in Idaho to choose prayer over medical care when a child’s life was at stake.

Unironically the ruling class are just trying to recreate feudalism using AI. This is just "the peasants don't need to learn how to read or write when in reality the only skill they do need is knowing how to work the field. They have priests to rely on if they for whatever reason ever need to read"

Something I do wanna point out, since it bears repeating again: Do not even pirate this (be it illegal streaming, downloading, etc.), as companies track these numbers, and check for engagements, too. These numbers still matter, as it shows the property is "healthy". So don't do that.
