Avoid accountability with this one weird trick!

Dan Thiell @danthiell.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Well, as long as it's just the computer that did it, then I guess no crime was committed and no one needs to be held accountable.

I think his plan is just that you don't have health insurance.

When when when is a journalist going to ask about this?

Your friend would be you, but with a different color shirt, I guess.

Hello computer. Please create a business model for a company like Rockstar to spend a decade and a billion dollars developing a video game that no one will buy because we can all just have our chatbots make us our own bespoke version of their game without having to buy it from them.

Would his friends not simply be playing their own bespoke versions of GTA instead? Every one of these AI fantasies relies on the assumption that the person having the fantasy is the only person with access to AI.

Probably all insured for more than it's worth.

I know it's a cliche at this point, but Jesus Christ, imagine if Obama. Imagine if Biden.

The best thing the Social Reckoning has going for it is that it will probably make Mark Zuckerberg very mad.

I'm not seeing this on his Truth Social feed, and there's no way I'm googling "Trump drunken orgy sex."

It'd be cool if there was a major political party that took all those positions.

Makes me wonder about my favorite restaurant, Chaat GPT.

Reminds me of all the problems "solved" with the blockchain that could easily be solved with, like, a spreadsheet.

Dan Thiell @danthiell.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It's absolutely insane that the Vice President can go on TV and push an unhinged conspiracy theory like "the school is giving your kids hormones" and he's not just, like, immediately thrown into the nearest volcano.

Dan Thiell @danthiell.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

In fact, you won't find the word "hormones" anywhere in the Bible. I wonder why.

"Hispanics bounce" is not a racist stereotype I was familiar with.

Has there not been a Democratic majority at any point in the last 50 years? Or do you guys just like keeping bad stuff in place so you can fundraise off of it?

You know, I don't think I would have intentionally subscribed to YT premium. I only ended up with it because I subscribed to Google Play Music years ago because that's where I had already uploaded all my music after my mp3 player got stolen, but boy oh boy, I don't think I could ever go back.

That beautiful moment in every wedding where your datasets are merged and recompiled, and the algorithm generates a new waveform reverse engineered from the personal preferences of this new personality profile, with the modifiers -romantic and -slow, and you whisper, "they're playing our song."

Hey Dan, You are the man, Take a sad song, And make infinite variations of it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over a

Dan Thiell @danthiell.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Exactly. I think a lot of this stuff is driven by envy and resentment for artists, because they receive a level of admiration that tech bros will never get but feel they deserve because they're good at the computer.

Dan Thiell @danthiell.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

These tech bros certainly don't understand the pleasure that comes from playing an instrument and writing a song. It all seems like such a hassle to them. They just want serotonin injected directly into their brains.

If we had AI in 1978, it never would've come up with Eruption. If we had AI in 1966, it never would've come up with Revolver. If we had AI in 1913, it never would've come up with Rite of Spring. If we had AI in 200,000 BC or whatever, it never would've come up with music in the first place.

From the people who brought you Missing the Point of Every Book I've Ever Read and Every Movie I've Ever Seen comes the new listening sensation, Now That's What I Don't Call Music!

If a person couldn't be bothered to write it, why should I bother listening to it?

100%. You don't get to do ethnic cleansing and then just stand off to the side and wait for it to be your turn again. We need a Department of Consequences for these ghouls.

Dan Thiell @danthiell.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Somehow, the culture of white, rural conservatives is the only culture that everyone's supposed to offer this level of deference and default respect. I feel like I read this same op-ed twenty years ago in Newsweek.

Dan Thiell @danthiell.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I have my headphones on in a lot of those situations, listening to podcasts. You think I'm raw-dogging the grocery store?

Dan Thiell @danthiell.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

We need to bring back the thing where celebrities viewed it as shameful to appear in advertising. A Polymarket ad with you in it should be as embarrassing and image-destroying as your mugshot after you got caught soliciting an undercover cop for sex.

Sometimes people sync their Christmas lights to music and you need your radio to hear it.

Even then, in-store music washes right over me unless I already know the song, in which case I think either, "hey, this place is cool," or, "oh god, they're playing Soundgarden in the supermarket, I'm so old."

Reading the phrase "80s/90s oldies" just killed me.
