I got overlooked for a MacArthur Genius Grant. Yes, again. Sigh.

Hey @justinpurnell.com I just wanted to acknowledge that our 30 year plan of world dominance that we set about in founding The Company is going to plan, with the Emmy Recognition Phase now coming to fruition. It’s all happening. Good things. Indefinitely.

Has anyone else noted that Meta’s most recent “we’re positive about AI” ad campaign is soundtracked by David Bowie’s “Five Years,” a song that is literally about the world ending in, you guessed it, five years?

Is it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?

I’m glad this is being remembered. I don’t think I can emotionally handle seeing this exhibit, but I’m glad it will be there.

Chris Burden’s “Metropolis II” at LACMA did this for me - seeing this interactive sculpture moving gave me a deeper appreciation for my urban existence and how we’re all interconnected

Dolly Parton Was Family
The American legend, who has died at 80, operated in pure joy, empathy, and sincerity. She became as successful as a human being can be by never holding any of it back.

I used to answer phones for a business whose number was very similar to that of the local NBC station, and I would occasionally take a few complaints down (but leave the caller with a handful more). Not my fault they don’t know how to dial!

Explicit & implicit cultural references to St Elsewhere and the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, reveling in an obscure b-side, and maintaining artistic credibility in the face of obscene corporate/governmental pressure: Colbert showed us how Gen X says goodbye. Well done.

BlueSky will never be as fun and interesting as old Twitter because Twitter was born out of whimsy and morphed into a place of concern and import pre-Elon, and BlueSky was immediately forced into a role as a forum in a time of tremendous despair and anxiety, has never been whimsical

The phrase “core memory unlocked” is wildly dumb, as it inherently suggests you have control over your children’s memory. They will remember what they remember. Also, the word “iconic” has lost all meaning.

Tier 6 IS fixable — we've done it before, & we can do it again. 30 years is a career. Retiring at age 55 after working for that long is a good Fix for Tier 6. @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social, @nysenate.bsky.social, reduce the retirement age, let’s get it done!

ABC7 just showed this aerial footage of the neighborhood I grew up in, with my old apartment building just off to the left (cc @questauthority.bsky.social )
Aerial footage of Bainbridge Avenue/210th Street vicinity with Montefiore Hospital and North Central Bronx Hospital in the center. Footage likely taken from drone over Williamsbridge Oval Park.

If an arrest can't stand up to the scrutiny of 50 cameras, then it probably can't stand up to the scrutiny of 1 camera and probably should not be occurring.

as a (virtually) lifelong NYer here's the deal: all pizza is good. deep dish rules. detroit pizza is goated. lunch lady cafeteria pizza was a joy. the only dubious pizza culture is california because it tries too hard but even (most) california pizza is fantastic. grow up

For anyone who needs respite from the news, I highly recommend Taskmaster, an extremely silly long-running UK show in which five comedians compete at absurd tasks. Low-stress, high-pleasure, lots of laughs, utterly disconnected from reality. As your doctor, I hereby prescribe one episode minimum.
