Rush apologists are always like "They only wrote about Ayn Rand libertarian stuff on a couple of '70s albums!" as if Atlas Shrugged isn't about a rapping skeleton.

I'm forming a shofar ensemble for the sole purpose of releasing a covers album called Honkin' on Shofo. Like, imagine a whole band of Gary Oldmans from The Unborn just blasting those huge shofars! Please do not steal this million-dollar idea!!

If you race cars and you ever do pit stops, you're a weak baby who wants to lose. Like, you don't need to pull over mid race and take a wussy little break. Just stay out on the track the whole time, keep going fast, and you'll fully smoke all the other drivers. 🏁 Follow me for more racing tips!! 🏁

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Flock is very serious surveillance technology that cops take very seriously: 404media.co/cops-search-...

Cops Search Thousands of Flock Cameras for Reasons of ‘LMAO,’ ‘IDK,’ ‘Hehe,’ and ‘asdfg’
The EFF found cops writing “idiot,” “WEIRD KID,” "blah," "leave me alone," and button mashing in Flock's 'reason' box.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! is a perfect album even though: - "Penetration in the Centerfold," their best song, was relegated to a b-side on their next album. - The single version of "Jocko Homo" with the "O-HI-O" part is better than the album version. - One song's title is a slur.
