We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Toto releases “Hold the Line” 48 years ago tonight. “.. When I was in high school, all of a sudden the phone started ringing off the hook,” said David Paich. “I had 3 girls all call at the same time, all the lights were flashing. I was kind of juggling girlfriends, and that's how that came about."

LA is a strip mall. Chicago is an open air shopping center. New York is a neighborhood garage sale. I will not be taking questions at this time.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

Glad 60 Minutes is doing a Jacob Wohl story literally nine years after I reported on that guy. One time he was pretending a scam website he was running wasn't his, so I called the number on the website and it went to his mom's voicemail. Jacob is like training wheels for investigative journalists.

I read somewhere once that the joke with Lenny any time he appeared in the Simpsons is just that "he was there", and I think about that a lot. It sounds so counterintuitive but it's so true.

The thing is that there have always been crazy people. The problem with social media is that it allows people to connect with others across the world who share their specific kind of crazy, and it allows those delusional beliefs to get reinforced and grow at speeds we haven't seen before.

I'm reading a book about an Antarctic expedition in which the ship got stuck in the ice and one of the crew turned out daily cartoons for some levity. Here's some of my favourites:
"The terrible fall of the venerable Artocho. 9 May 1898" 
A pencil drawing of his character Artocho, legs akimbo on the ice. Pencil drawing of Artocho on the toilet, captioned "Here's the deal: this isn't moving... I continue" "Belgian Antarctic Expedition Barometric Service" Multiple drawings of a man with varying sizes of butt which demonstrates different weather conditions. Artocho pencil drawing, captioned "Here's the deal: I put alcohol in my water bottle and I don't give a damn about Murray. Down with oceanography! Long live joy!

Will GTA be a commercial success? Absolutely. Will it be good? Nah. They’ve already taken the idea of doing things you can just do in real life to its furthest extent. Plus we hate Real Life Stuff now. Driving? After a long day of DoorDashing? Shooting? I can go to school for that.

America has experienced oligarchy thrice in its brief history. The first was under the slaveholding founders The second, the robber barons, a century later. A third American oligarchy emerged around 1980 — and has only gotten more powerful.

people are kind of pussyfooting around it but it's when america went fascist. you didn't used to see cops with tanks, and they needed warrants for wiretaps. the fbi would investigate neo-nazis instead of trying to honeytrap muslims into doing domestic terrorism. financial crimes were prosecuted.

Their plan is to say as little as possible and win by default, which in their mind is the safest path that doesn't alienate anyone. This misses the opportunity to galvanize the public around important issues, and then they throw up their hands about how the voters are ignorant and apathetic

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
