M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 27/09/2026People are weird about music, man. They get offended if people like stuff they never heard of. Can't be true! 010

M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I recently realized the only way to fix my current novel in progress is that I have to read it. The whole thing. I didn't sign up for this. #amwriting 030
M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Your average horror movie is vastly improved by a crotchety old dude snapping 'dadgummit' every few minutes. It's sad the knowledge that's been lost. 130
M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Why do those pictures make them look like crypt-keepers? Bad choice. 000
M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Popeye's actual first appearance was January 17 but I guess it's too much to ask that Comic Kingdom sync things up properly. 000
M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Well blow me down, it's first appearance of Popeye day in the Comics Kingdom subscription. Light up a pipe and celebrate with a dime's worth of longitude! 100

M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I don't know, it's probably me, but whenever I try to use AI, I end up staring at prompt that says "What do you want to do?" And the answer is usually 'go get a cup of coffee' 000
M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It's nice that they trained computers to guess. There really weren't enough guesses out there until the computers put in their efforts. 011

M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Counting time I spent writing this post and doomscrolling literal AI doom cults, AI has wasted a good hour of my morning, and I haven't even used it. No one talks about that cost of AI: the endless whinging about it. 100

M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 13/09/2026So I'm confused... Can I still hike and feel as if I'm rebelling against modernity or not? 021
M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Is there an explanation for what exactly causes this mistake? Like I have never once printed something and had some other page three swapped with mine. Not ever, isn't even possible. 110
M Ramberg @grebmar.bsky.social · 13/09/2026So since AI programmers are too stupid to contain their creations, does that mean AI is now smarter than humans? The singularity is here! 110
