You know, it's kind of a marvel that after a half century on this earth I'm still finding novel ways to injure myself. Just continually unlocking new dangers

Just got it from seeing COYOTE VS ACME, and I know movies hit people in different ways, but this one pressed all my buttons. Surprisingly emotional, and thematically resonant... which are two things i never expected to say about a Looney Tunes movie. You should go see it.

I'm buying a new computer for the 1st time in 16 yrs(!), the longest I've gone between computers. Bought my current machine in 2010 at the liquidation of a local video game developer and it was a beast. But age gets us all. Now I feel like a boomer who last moved in the 70s, dazed at market prices.

I have no idea why people think AI brings innovation. It just crystallizes the status quo into something harder, which gets used as an excuse to distort and hurt.

I'm a picky moviegoer, so I wanted to see THE ODYSSEY in the opening week, but only in IMAX 70mm, and only in decent seats. It took time but I managed both. Pleased with myself, until the sound cut out at the halfway point. During a tense scene. They paused and fixed it but we lost 10 mins of story.

the core mission of the fascist right's culture war metapolitics is to sow the idea that morality is a lie and ethics are just another predation strategy, that good people are mere status-seeking opportunists and bad people are refreshingly honest players in the inescapable, zero-sum game of power

While there's still a few hours left in Father's Day, I wanted to sneak in my favourite movie dad: Jefferson Davis.
Image of the character Jefferson Davis from the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The image is a still of Davis, in his police cruiser, as he looks at the camera and uses the car's loudspeaker to ask his son to say, "I love you" back to him.

It's likely because I've seen the movie a dozen times, but I read this synopsis and thought, "Seems straightforward to me. 🤷🏾‍♂️"

It is harder to explain to young kids that you don’t think some people should be allowed to kiss or get married than it is to explain to young kids that everyone gets to choose who they kiss or marry.

This puts me in mind of the LAPD defense lawyers' strategy during the Rodney King trial in 1992. They replayed the tape of the beating over and over, often going through frame-by-frame, in an effort to desensitize the jury and make the overall effect less visceral and shocking. Similar tactics here.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).
Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Normally when I hear about something like this happening in a far off city, I think, "Oh, that'd be nice," but with this one I'm kind of losing my mind with jealousy for anyone who gets to go. Great movie, with one of the greatest soundtracks. I'd kill to be at this.

This time last year, I bought some Lone Wolf & Cub books online and when I went to get them, the person was wearing a Hulkamania shirt. If it'd been a week earlier, I'd have said, "Cool shirt," but in that moment my thought was, "Is she being retro-kitschy? Or is it because he spoke at the RNC?"

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good
Reggie Watts statement, 1 of 2:

“I was disappointed to see that Thom's statement centers his hurt feelings and frames his fans' demands for him to speak up as a "social media witch hunt," instead of recognizing the urgency of their call for him to speak out against the world-historical humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I hope Thom will reflect and decenter himself from the public outcry against the genocide, because if he and his artistic legacy stand for love and humanity as he asserts, he can come to see his fans' actions as an act of loving solidarity with suffering people-a needed affirmation of our humanity in these dark times.”Reggie Watts statement 2 of 2:

“I also want to address Thom's repetition of a common rhetorical tactic of those who are devoted to maintaining the status quo, that one cannot speak up or demand an end to the genocide unless they fully understand the deep
"complexity" of this historical conflict. I urge Thom's fans to reject this conviction-neutralizing, demobilizing sentiment and trust their hearts. You don't need to be a geopolitics scholar to know that starving children and slaughtering families is wrong. Your membership in the human family gives you authority and, indeed, responsibility to speak up. All positive change starts with conscious and loving people raising their voices and working together to bring a better world into existence. Please keep fighting until our sisters and brothers in Palestine are free.”
