Cohost was such a good website

I hadn’t read or heard much about Dune until the movie came out a few years ago, so for most of my life I’ve thought “fear is the mind killer” was just some cool shit my friend Alex said one time

As someone born and raised in the actual southwest (Arizona), I don't think that Dallas or Houston get to say they're in the southwest. El Paso and Amarillo do. San Antonio could. Austin can't.

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

I’ve had plenty of people give me shit over saying that Eminem is and always has been corny and lame but he keeps doing things that prove me right www.detroitnews.com/story/entert...

Eminem is featured on Kid Rock's new Christian album 'Halfway 2 Jesus'

'Halfway 2 Jesus' is Rock's first foray into Christian music.

i have gamer friends that are always confused at why i use a mac when it's easier to game on windows, and i always have to remind them that windows is not in the running for me. it's macos or linux. windows will never run on my main machine ever again. it's a deeply unpleasant OS and i don't want it

one of the best things you can do right now as a queer person is like if another queer person is a dick to you or you don't like them or there's some Shit between you two or u don't like em consider just. Letting it go not all the time. But when you can. Take the load off each other to be perfect

i don't think reality competition shows were ever like, quality tv, but they used to be entertaining because people went on for the show itself. but now everyone knows that the real money is in using the show to kick start an influencer career, making the competition meaningless, and you can tell.

weird brain quirk around writing and software: I like writing long-form stuff in Scrivener. But most of the time, I don't go into something expecting it to be long-form. 90% of what I write is just random scribbles of ideas or scenes, and it feels silly and presumptive to open Scrivener for those.

PSA: the new spicy McNuggets aren’t very good. They do that vague spicy-but-not-flavorful thing that a lot of places do, and I think a standard McNugget with a good sauce is better.

First they had an annoying price hike, but I stayed with them because I figured it was still a good value. Now they’re giving a ton of money to the Linux “distro” run by an outright fascist. Time to drop 1Password. How’s BitWarden? Or Apple Passwords?

so for research reasons, i'm reading what's supposedly *the* textbook on homicide investigation, and this dude straight up says that sometimes you should consult psychics

Psychics
Te professional homicide detective uses many tools in the investigation to assist in the retrieval of information, some of which may be inaccessible through ordinary methods. A somewhat sensational and ofen controversial practice is the use of psychics. The purpose of this section is to provide the investigator with information on the use of a psychic in homicide investigations.
Practically speaking, police ofcers are naturally skeptical of psychics and psychic phenomena. However, from an investigative point of view, anything that has proven to be successful in one investigation should certainly be considered in other cases. It should be noted that information provided by the psychic may not always be accurate and in some instances may have no value to the investigation. However, this should not discourage authorities from using a psychic, especially in homicide cases where information is limited. The use of a psychic can be considered as an additional investigative aid.
