Supreme Intelligence? Just... sometimes I think... he's gotta be in on the joke, right? Like he says shit like this and I think "ok... that motherfucker is trolling me specifically right?" (Yes... he did actually "truth" this)

if someone complained after Kamala's loss about needed a "Joe Rogan for the left" and is now complaining about Hasan Piker... then maybe it wasn't about "the left" after all.

Look, as a cultural theorist and a technologist by trade I see all sides of the AI issue. I’m not even gonna say it’s all good or bad… it’s just… sometimes I see something like this and I think “ok… let’s let it cook and see what it does next. You know… for science!” futurism.com/future-socie...

In a perfect world I'm on every podcast all the time. When I'm not, sometimes I'm being in a magazine. SO… after you download this week's @voxpopcast.bsky.social check out my being interview in @Tré Magazine on cultural expectations of beauty by Mariya Dempsey. www.thetremag.com/the-mold-of-...

Dear SnyderBros, Posting "hot takes" that DC should fire Gunn and have Snyder de-woke the movies is dumb. Zack Snyder is like one of the "wokest" MFs in Hollywood. ALL of his superhero movies are about how much he fucking hates your politics! You're just too dumb to understand the movie you love.

Exactly. That’s ultimately what I think I want to look at. The difference between the explicit song and the obvious innuendo song.

Like “hips don’t lie” COULD just be about the dancing….

Mav @chrismaverick.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Exactly. I’ve been thinking of this since yesterday. I do have examples. But I’m realizing that the unsubtle but plausibly deniable allegory feels WAY more common than the explicit reference.

Mav @chrismaverick.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

As opposed to "Macarena", "Hips don't Lie", "Take Me to Church" or "Pour Some Sugar on Me" which are all about sex but *COULD* be something else (which is sort of a different list). (3/3)

Mav @chrismaverick.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

For instance: Sabrina's "Taste", Prince's "Erotic City", Donna Summer's "Love to Love you Baby", R. Kelly's "Ignition(remix)" all make it 100% clear what they're talking about. (2/3)

Mav @chrismaverick.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Ok everyone... help me out... I'm working on a random idea for an academic article in my head. What are some popular mainstream songs that are explicitly and unequivocally about sex and can't be anything else? (1/3)

thanks. honestly, the cat blinds are about the easiest thing I've never built in the house. it's just smart blinds with a targeted MM presence sensor. It's not "cheap" but it's trivial to do.

Mav @chrismaverick.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

since I'm a total press whore: the school newspaper ran a whole story about… uh, me being me, I guess… come read about me being a professor, designer, comic fan, and a prowrestler. (never thought an article about me in academia would so heavily feature the Gambino Bros, but here we are).

Ok. After my last 3 loaves I’ve verified that whoever is in charge of store brand sliced bread at @gianteagle.bsky.social has the machine set to an odd number of slices. This person is a fucking monster and should be drawn a quartered.

Wow! Ok, Because I'm me, I had a tab open to the TPGriftBowl halftime show too. 4.75M people. Not great, but not a bust. It dropped to 4.3M the second BadBunny started at the real show. They lost 10% of the MAGA audience to BadBunny! Damn!

Claiming you have the best box office of a documentary in 10yrs* with an (* excluding music and nature docs) is just saying you don’t have the best box office. I’m the tallest man in America* (*excluding men over 5’8”)

There’s also a lot more artwork and stuff.

Yeah, they’re rewritten. For the entries that are in common you can tell they started with the 1st edition as a first draft, but it’s definitely much different. For one, the 1st edition everything is 1-page. Deluxe Edition is like an encyclopedia. Each entry is as long as it needs to be.

Mav @chrismaverick.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

I have some of the at fun but I never completed it I preferred the deluxe edition follow up (which I thought all of)

I just read a troll chastising a lesbian couple for "sinning" before an all-seeing, all-powerful God. But if you think he's omniscient & omnipotent AND specifically watching homosexual acts but not stopping them… doesn't that just mean he LIKES to watch?

If you really think I’m only saying you're racist because you're a republican that means you're so ok with racism that *YOU* think I think being republican is worst...

Sometimes I want to escape from the world of ice and ICE and just talk silliness for an hour. This week's episode of VoxPopcast is all about the #Oscars. Check it out! I'll get back to criticizing Trump right after. voxpopcast.com/wp/2026/01/2...

Look dumbasses. We're like 10 years into Trumpland here. If your argument is still "this is just negotiations, I don't think he really means it" I don't trust you to tie your shoes, use a stove, or cut with grownup scissors. You don't belong on TV!

It suddenly occurs to me that maybe we should have waited until episode 412 to talk about this... oh well.

what if Netflix… a company who books their decisions solely based on ROI algorithms decided to secretly create a hidden episode of the most popular show they’ve ever had… and like not promote it. You know... as a goof! You people are morons! #StrangerThings

Mav @chrismaverick.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

I talk about it on the episode I'm sure. I like Badger fine on some other stuff and I appreciate that he was trying to do something different in the era he was in. The story is garbage though. it's about the most pointless and badly written comic arcs I've ever read. I hate it.

No. Just no. I refuse to believe this many motherfuckers spent 5 seasons over 9 years not knowing they were watching a queer coming-out allegory. They're lying. Dipshits aren't THAT dumb!

I think my favorite MAGA take on Trump’s ballroom has “Obama didn’t ask permission to build his Bball court”. Thats actually true. He didn’t ask before hanging a $200 hoop on the fence of the tennis court that was already there. Temporarily! Damn! You got him!
