We were watching NEAGLY (the new REACHER spin-off) yday and this kid was sent to investigate a farm then did the Partridge “big sheds” bit almost verbatim. Looking forward to the next episode when we meet the chickens who are scared because they don’t know why they’re so big.

I am not joking when I say this.
Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
Al music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.
Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

The CEO of General Mills should receive the title “General Mills.” It should be like becoming the Dalai Lama. Everyone who works there should have a military rank.

Michael Tracey is actively attempting to dox Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 rape case
Michael Tracey : If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is, get in touch and I would be happy to publish her name and identifying information. And yes -- this is 100% permitted under the First Amendment, whatever threats or emotional blackmail people might want to deploy"Report" me for what, exactly? Save your breath, scumbag. Sorry you hate the First Amendment so much. Her identity is obviously newsworthy at this point, and I will take extreme pleasure in reporting it. (Not "doxing" -- that's a total canard)

It’s inevitable that the people my friends and I hunt for sport would disagree with us on some small issues, but never before have these relations been so strained. This is what happens when, instead of engaging in meaningful debate, the less-evolved party adopts an attitude of “c’est la guerre.”

I mean I think he might have been expressing some regret about that, it's not really a contrary read of the poem to suggest that it was perhaps a mistake for him to have supported those prior steps - in many ways its fully in line with what the poem is saying, when you think about it.

People read this person's comment and assumed they were trying to argue with the original poster, but this person is a fan that was just asking a question. "It's hard to read tone on the internet" means take your fucking time to understand what someone's intentions are before you dogpile them.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Last few weeks I’ve kept smelling toast, randomly, at home but out and about too, and I remember the myth that this might be a sign of a stroke so I go and check and every time it turns out someone’s actually making toast. There’s like an inordinate amount of toast being made, just to freak me out.
