My cat snuggled with my phone when it was playing this book on Audible. So I couldn't take a picture. Which is sad. I should own a camera.

The reason that all this happened is because too many Americans thinks it’s cool and funny to be ignorant assholes. It’s not funny.

Who put this idea in his head, anyway? The man doesn't read, so somebody had to yell him about this and convince him it was true.

Al Franken, who likes Kennedy personally and used to eat lunch with him talked about how utterly incapable of recognizing irony Kennedy is. He jokingly asked if anyone can be a doctor in LA, and he angrily responded, "No, Al, you gotta go to medical school!'

Dragged nothing. Kennedy could barely contain his arousal while he tripped over himself trying to get into the shot. I would never let him live this down. If we lived in a better timeline, Al Franken would have learned not to pat wommen on the butt at some point and would have been there

I would carry a photo of this around and pull it out anytime that Kennedy said anything ever again.

"Fleet Captain" is an outdated Navy rank that got replaced by Commodore, which then got changed to a newly added Admiral rank. So, technically not an error. The extended fiction has never been sure about what to refer to him as during this time, which must make it super fun for researching.

Look, I told them not to put that on the sign at the edge of town, but they put it on the sign, so here we are. How do you think Fani and her lover feel? Having to meet all those people?

Look at Kennedy's smug, defiant mug. He is downright aroused over this thing that he is about to find out isn't a thing.

I'm Roman Catholic. We play All I want for Christsmas is a Wonderful Whammageddon where we include the Mariah Carry and the Wings song. It's not a religion for wimps.

And yet, either strategy works! The only strategy that works better is not being aware of it and not participating. I feel as though this speaks to something else.

Everyone talks about the two Darrens, but nary a peep on the two Gladyses. Which is, of course, Biden's fault.

I both get what this is parodying and also have not heard the song that this is all about. I'm not sure what this means, except that I have won.

You know how during Whammageddon that people manage to go the whole month of December without hearing Last Christmas despite the fact that you heard it, what 348 times? Also, there are people that have no idea what I am talking about! Ironically, it's a better metaphor if you don't!

I see this more with older edition fans, along with the idea that rules need to be overly complicated or the game is no good. I think it's just nerds trying to feel smart.

Poser using a colon in her article like a real music critic and everything. No one remembers the 90s. Tey to tell is that we have to have heard or seen something and we will stop using entire forms of media in order to get you to stop asking.

This wasn’t just the moment a dog found a home. It was the moment he realized someone had finally chosen him. The way he looks up at his new person says more than any caption ever could. 🥺❤️

I say again, any "pause/pacing/contemplative silence where AI CEOs think about what they've done and promise to be very good boys from now on" that doesn't result in ACTUAL enforcement mechanisms to hold them Several-Hundred-Billion-Dollars accountable any time their product fucks up is nigh useless
Screenshot of posts from me:

Chris, they trained a system to hack & got scared when it hacked. This is on human beings not being able to logically think through what they've built & what they then trained & told it to do; they'll never "solve alignment," because they can't get what human values they're trying to "align" "Al" To.

Hold the HUMANS accountable for what their systems do. The humans' companies and individual humans themselves.

Teenage me reviewing the first @themountaingoats.bsky.social LP, 31 years ago. Nottinghamshire mice ate most of the six issues of my fanzine I put out. The Mountain Goats narrowly survived the killer teeth. Tuscadero were less fortunate.
A review of 'Sweden' by The Mountain Goats, by 19-year-old fanzine editor me, likening it to something "recorded in a field in Eastern Europe".

Some rural Wisconsinites will fly it, though less so than in years past. This passes me off for a plethora of reasons, but I focus my ire on the fact that in the Civil War, the Iron Brigade from WI was badass and basically won Gettysburg for the North. Why stan a bunch of losers?
