Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I cannot believe you beat me to this response by four minutes. I had nightmares about this scene for *decades* and didn't even realize it was from some random movie I saw as a child until a few years ago. I thought it was just my own brain.youtu.beThe Hugga Bunch | 1985 | FULL TV MOVIE | *BEST QUALITY* set speed to x1.15 - x1.20 for best resultsYouTube video by Child of the 80s 120
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It's both too good and too dumb to riff off of, and now I'm having an existential crisis. 000
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I assume you're upset because it's uncharacteristically clear and comprehensible compared to the rest of your camera roll? 010

After each group mentioned I pencil in what percentage of the population they are, and if it’s a small number I cross off their names as disposable. Poetry is fine but math wins elections!! 152546621

Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The 401k was already an incredible gift to the markets, a rapid infusion of inattentive normie money funneled through them. They got lauded for boring decisions and bailed out of catastrophic ones. Let this be another lesson: it'll never be enough for them. "Taking" is their religion, honestly. 0257
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Oh no, as someone with Irish Catholic roots, does that mean we're going back to the Kilted and Guilted ages as well? 000
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 05/09/2026"By continuing, you're agreeing to let Google Photos: * Gain a deep understanding of your life * Determine your location * Use your queries to improve" Maybe this is damning with faint praise, but I actually really appreciate the dramatic phrasing. It's a big request and they did frame it as such. 000
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 03/09/2026...and don't get me started on dialogs for these things that only have two options: "Okay", or some version of "Not now"/"Maybe later". How about no. How about *having* to provide a "no" option? 000
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I understand both the personal and business incentives regarding showing a pop-up or a tutorial for a new feature you just delivered. I use few apps. I should not have to close or complete an intrusive "here's what's new!!!" prompt more than once every eleven days IMO. 100
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 01/09/2026In the early 2000s it was a running joke that you couldn't just put ".com" after a concept (e.g. "whitehouse") because it'd probably be porn. Things felt risky, but in a stupid but contained way. Today (absent other information) I'd trust whitehouse dot com over dot gov, and I trust neither. 010

Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Cake: the thing people don't bother making for your birthday anymore.

Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Terrifying. I get that they had to rely on formal diagnoses of CTE and/or dementia and/or neurodegenerative disease as the listed cause of death. But if 98.7% of the studied brains had CTE, many living retired players are probably experiencing serious health impacts that stop short of full dementia. 000

Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Still working on my technical expertise, but is there an equivalent to "abliteration" to identify and/or negate the "You're absolutely right... <fake apology>" behavior of LLMs? 000
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Serious response: the fact that that their jokes are annoyingly limp is the point. They are, all of them*, Biff's cronies from Back to the Future. If they feel safe behind a strong man they like being embarrassing. * Yes, this includes Trump even though alt-1985 Biff was obviously modeled on Trump. 050

Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I love when they're ambitious and embrace the weirdness. Legion ran so WandaVision could jog. 0101
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 14/08/2026All information is partisan! There's the part that you choose to say, and the parts that you didn't, and the parts other people say in response. Disinformation basically only has to worry about that last part, unfortunately, and "that lie was a lie" isn't as interesting as the original lie. 000
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This is how you reminded me how often I loudly sang that song listening to the radio in my car, before I got jaded by every song being How You Remind Me or a cheap knockoff on a 48-minute loop. 020

Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 14/08/2026So much of the world is Newton-ing itself: making genuinely prodigious advances with dubious credit, then getting high on its own supply. We're managing to both figuratively and literally parabolically crash back to the ground, with political and religious weirdos funding both sides of that dynamic. 000
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I honestly would never have believed this phrase was more than 25 years old, let alone almost 2,500. 010
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'm someone who smiles weirdly in photos. That photo is the face I make when I *see* one of my bad photos, and I'm experimenting to figure out what went wrong. 020

Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I'm also just going to say that the "aye" number should be zero. For every Democrat. House and Senate. Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson. NYT, WaPo, even WSJ. Every "reasonable" Republican, every "conservative" (fiscal or social) should've seen these charlatans and their demonic hatred and said no. 010
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Barely more conversation with Warner, but broadly, I don't believe in "smart" and it's certainly not a fixed point for any person. In politics, you are the things you do... including staying, when you should go. Didn't remember it was also @ @jonathancohn.bsky.social, but bsky.app/profile/pier... 010
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I hate adopting terminology from the right, but calling centrists' coverage of trans rights "politics from the cuck chair" is an incredible mic drop for this great episode. I'm very disappointed with the hosts for having positive childhood experiences with sports, though. 000
Pierce @pierced.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I hope some dashboard somewhere has highlighted how crazy it is that I've just uninstalled Google News on my new Pixel. For context, I kept the Google Reader app on my previous phone for *years* after they discontinued the service. On principle. 000
