just remembered this ancient relic. my old band at one of my favorite dive bars to play in PA back in the day. I love this video because it’s the song where you can hear how I straight up ripped off a Tool riff and you can see me actively looking up to watch the Flyers game youtu.be/uXW1lTZX1m0

it shouldn’t be controversial to say Rapists Don’t Deserve A Future, but instead our society is run by rapists. This should not be the status quo. as men we need to step our shit up to change this in any and every way we can. we need to end how normalized this horrific shit is.

basically when Google announced their AI feature, they also quietly announced Google Web which is basically just like a legacy mode for Google. obviously, legacy mode doesn't make the money AI is ostensibly making by having everyone use it by accident because its on by default so Google buries it

incredible article on how to very easily remove AI garbage from using google. I wish I did this years ago. This basically makes google function the way it did when it didn't suck via the buried and basically hidden "Google Web" feature, which is the pre-AI Google tedium.co/2024/05/17/g...

How I Made Google’s “Web” View My Default Search
Forget AI. Google just created a version of its search engine free of the extra junk it has added over the past decade-plus. You just need one URL parameter.

Having an editorial team of only cis-men in 2026 is a management failure, and we should treat it as such. There's no shortage of highly skilled, overqualified, funny, smart, and direct women, femme, trans, and non-binary people TRYING to work in games media. We just don't get to most of the time.

No Sonic 06 Stream tonight on account of I have a therapy appointment (unrelated to Sonic 06 although maybe it isn’t) and then I’m watching the Flyers home opener. back to that dog shit game tomorrow

call me a pessimist but this feels like something being spun to try and sound positive. “AI will listen to everything you say so that it won’t advertise stuff on your channel that doesn’t line up with your values” vs. “we’re going to demonetize you if our ad partners don’t like what you’re saying”

I’ve been in the IT industry for 15+ years now and it has never felt good for me but it has absolutely never felt worse. this AI shit is a cancer that is designed to spread as fast as possible. I have so many thoughts on it but any time I write something up here I just delete it. I’m tired man

probably great to go all in on this revolutionary technology that is constantly hemorrhaging money but is "valued" at $2T just before it goes public when downdetector looks like this every time AWS has problems. I love Competition and Innovation under Capitalism in the Plagiarism Engine sector
Claude, Gemini and Open AI all spiking on DownDetector at the same time, which lines up completely with an AWS outage

just experiencing the logical conclusion of “Capitalist Innovation.” the only the that gets innovated is bottom up scams

hahahaha nah that’s an all timer episode. I mean the later season one where he becomes a food critic and says everything is great and then gets peer pressured by other critics to be an asshole in his reviews. not a great episode but the message stuck I think

I have known Fanelli for going on 16 years now and I can comfortably say this has been a consistent thing with him. I don’t ever recall a time when he has punched down and has always stood up for what’s right

if the safety concerns aren’t stemming from blighting the earth surrounding the datacenters, they’re full of shit. “our product that’s hemorrhaging billions that we desperately need everyone using constantly to make money off of it is simply too powerful so we gotta delay it” c’mon now

years ago I shook off this inclination that I probably got from Twitter brain poisoning and made a concerted effort to never be like that. even if I HATE something, I try not to yuck yums. I think a big motivator to that end was the episode where Homer becomes a critic.

bad news everyone. I unfortunately have everything I need to stream Sonic 06 on PS3 and just got it set up. so I regret to inform everyone that I will be playing through the Shadow Chapters on stream for the forseeable future thanks to all the generous donations to Malala fund. twitch.tv/karlgerm

just found out about the copyright strikes on MidnightSumo and it genuinely ruined my day. Middy is such a great dude and has brought me so much joy sharing his love and knowledge of sumo with the world. I hope the course can somehow be reversed and he can continue commentating bashos in the future

September was so busy for me and I am finally at a point where all my major obligations are done so I have that cool low burning anxiety of “oh fuck what did I forget to do, is there really nothing going on today?”
