If AI is good enough to impress you, read you, or do your work, you might just be a lowest common denominator ass bitch.

Hey white Millennials, I am living proof that it's possible to go to Chicago, IL and not go see the big chrome bean for social media selfies. I just want you to know it's possible.

Kinda wild how many professional artists are just one person and a mic doing karaoke for money. Still more integrity than AI, though.

I was just thinking The Misfits being upset at the Dead Kennedys for also doing a Halloween song would make them good cartoon villains. And then I remembered a different Misfits are the nemesis of Jem and the Holograms.

I've been going over WW2 stock and war crime footage for a video. My fucking face hurts from frowning. Even more so because the descendants of the victims are doing the same to Palestinians and everyone around them.

Talking to a punk band backstage: "So yeah, the state fair just started. Vanilla ice is headlining, but he can't play any of his hits because of lawsuits." Well, he's an artist. He can just write new hits, right? ... *everyone bursts into laughter*

I'm kinda glad the mask is off the USA's corruption and power games. Unfortunately, the mainstream opposition is either so useless or vested in it, that they've basically normalized the corruption.

It's debatable whether it's good to feel like a gifted child in early life. Most of us settle in to a broader average or burn out for our adulthood. I didn't expect the world to elevate me again by lowering the bar everywhere. But I refuse to let my brain atrophy by using AI, so here we are

My wife is on multiple small doses of opioid daily. She wanted extended release so she could do things like not get up from a dead sleep to take more because the pain woke her. This is a small dose of why people celebrate Luigi Mangione.

It's so weird to find out someone's a lifelong Republican. Like, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Bush, Trump. Those are your guys? The party the Klan and Nazis vote with? Goldwater, Buchanan, Limbaugh, Alex Jones, and Joe McCarthy? Those guys? And you don't have the sense to be fucking embarrassed?

My Facebook feed is a constant influx of people wanting MySpace to come back. MySpace was developed from day 1 to sell ads. Remember when Instagram didn't have ads? Now my adblocker bricks the Instagram app, because every 3rd post is an ad. Don't believe the hype.

When you think about it, AIPAC is the closest to US public campaign finance that we get. It's just laundered through a genocidal ethnostate towards the worst politicians in the USA.

There are two kinds of AI enthusiasts I've seen: "I can't tell what's good and bad, and y'all are stealing my joy from a first attempt at creativity since I found coloring with crayons and sticker placement too challenging" & "Yeah, I know it's slop. But other people are stupider than me..."

What a time to be alive, when Performative Masculinity has horshoe'd around into such misogyny that it's into sucking dick. Nothing these guys do was from asking women what they want. It's unironically: "You like women? Gaaaaaaaay" If you all want to emerge from the closet and embrace it, then 👍 🏳️‍🌈

The Postal Service and Lumineers are the official soundtrack for the angst for conspicuous MacBook zombies hoarding a table at your local elitist café with a chart of the flavor profiles of every country and sub-region for coffee roasting.

I think it's an underrated fact that The Stooges were doing experimental, confrontational, psychedelic proto-punk while squatting in an abandoned house right when The Beatles were running from pop and going weird. It's like finding out The Archies were topping the charts over Dark Side of the moon.

Maybe leftists come across as angry and humorless because their opposition tries to frame all their hatreds as humor. Maybe emphasizing a hierarchy over other human beings and dehumanizing them with cruel jokes is a sign of a bad person.

Funny that if our politicians wanted to fight communism, it would be done best by fighting the capitalists without mercy. None of us are far from the type of desperation that led the French to solve their problems with mass decapitation. But they're too afraid to do anything but pollute for money.

Look, I also agree that modern buildings would benefit from more Gargoyles. But you should also know that you're probably thinking of Grotesques. (Gargoyles are ornate waterspouts and you just want more monsters on buildings. Which, agreed.)

A lot of our mythical personifications are from ancient and medieval conceptions and symbolism. But now?

Random thing I learned: China in WW2 didn't have much good steel. The Japanese were big on banzai charges with swords and bayonets. So, the Chinese army was issued swords and spears from the Quing dynasty. This when the war two decades before was defined by machine guns, poison gas, mortars etc

Bizarre adventure, yes. But I can't say I expected Jojo's Bizarre Adventure to start as a Regency novel with psychedelic colors and EPIIIIC PUUUUNCHES. Followed shortly by a vampire Jack the Ripper and a guy named REO Speedwagon...

Life is full of humbling facts that seem so obvious in retrospect. Leonard Cohen being a smoker. The B-52s being a queer band. The Democratic Party being conservatives. It's important to learn, grow, and keep the capacity for change.

I remember seeing one of Henry VIII'S castles as a kid. Seemed very alien and decadent. Gilted decoration on every surface, from half a millennium ago. A religion destroyed for a libido. A bloated and ill-tempered tyrant, whose closest man had to wipe his ass. July 4th 2026 and it seems too real.

Seal: "I won't lower my artistic integrity by publishing lyrics. This comes from an experiment in pure creativity and medieval song forms. It's very meaningful to me, but 'Kiss From A Rose' can mean whatever you want it to mean to you." The 90s: "It means campy Batman, now."

We're still being heated by the first coal fires of the industrial revolution. Every year, we set records for carbon output. Increased temperatures lead to more fires, releasing carbon. The melting permafrost releases methane, a greenhouse gas 4x worse than carbon in duration and effect. Carpe diem.
