Started Netflix's East of Eden and it's perfectly fine so far but I'm still convinced a proper adaptation of the book is basically impossible

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

The AI backlash is completely the fault of the dishonest hype merchants whose only talent is innovating new ways of lying. You pissed people off, now everyone hates you (justified) and your tech (less justified, but again, your fault)

Losing my mind about going decades of my life suffering endless sneezing in the morning only to discover a sinus rinse first thing in the morning pretty much cures it

even when i was 14 and liked RHCP i saw them live on the Californication tour and it was so jarring how locked in the band was and how tone deaf Anthony Kiedis was

gave myself the task of listening to all 500 of the Rolling Stone top albums of all time and I just got to Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Having not listened to RHCP in years it's stunning just how talented Flea/Frusciante/Smith are and just how much Kiedis' annoying presence downgrades the whole experience

Heads up, Israel made their own pro-IDF documentary called Naza and even bought up nazadocumentary.com in a ploy to trick people into watching a documentary whitewashing their crimes. I've seen people on here sharing the link as if it's the real movie.

Update, probably gonna restart my playthrough a second time lol. The long term death spiral in this game even in "normal" difficulty is so brutal and makes XCOM seem quaint

I was gonna put it in an episode earlier this week but after reading so much about it I just didn't have the energy to actually cover it. The stuff about the second account is crazy.

i love playing a game that's a solid 9/10 and the only reason it's not 10/10 is it's a warhammer 40k game and the plot/dialogue/terminology is utterly incomprehensible to me

It's officially pumpkin season, which happens to be a special treat for our ambassador wolves this time of year! 🎃🐺 Although wolves are classified as carnivores, they can sometimes have an omnivorous diet. Along with meat and eggs, wolves may also enjoy fruits like pumpkins. #wolffact

Anyway I literally only use NotebookLM for Ableton Live, about once a month, because the manual is around 1200 pages long at this point. I'd recommend it for anyone trying to learn the program's finer points. I'm sorry.

I’ve been seeing a lot of new characters on billboards in the SweetJames Multiverse and I don’t like it. I want only the original, somewhat unsettling, Sweet James.

it's especially funny how every time he's on a more mainstream podcast or interview show the response is mostly "wow never heard of this guy, he's talking a lot of sense!". he won over the Pod Save audience like a year ago ffs, this ain't gonna work but they can't stop at this point.

he was definitely on their radar but mostly confined to online RW discourse vs Fox News etc. but yeah the centrist zionists backing Cuomo gave the green light and here we are.

The constant Hasan discourse where he's now being called out by world leaders at the fucking UN is so much more deranged once you find out that like 90% of people have literally no idea who he even is, even at this point.

I've now seen both The Wages Of Fear (1953) and Sorceror (1977) and idk any better example of two movies based on the same book that manage to both be absolute bangers in different ways that really complement each other. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

years ago i got a cyst removed from the corner of my jawline (right under my ear!) and the sound of the cutting was so traumatizing. also the smell of my own flesh being cooked when they cauterized it. really any medical procedure involving the head just fucking sucks regardless of pain.

What really drives this home is that in the corners of the internet ive seen where people are celebrating Macklemore getting the boot, they're STILL mad at Ed Sheeran for hiring him in the first place

Macklemore: Palestinian children are people. Robert Kraft *actively getting a handjob from a strip mall prostitute he refuses to tip*: We must ban this hate speech from every stadium in America. Let me call up my friends, the Epstein client list. Ed Sheeran: Good point, sir. Both sides, sir.
