upon rewatching the sopranos i think part of why everyone hates AJ is bc by the end of the show he most directly implicates most people watching (lots of lip service re: caring about the world but endlessly bought off from doing anything by the comforts of empire)

Democrat: Donald Trump is flushing this country down the toilet! (Bluecheck Rando Materializes) Coastal elites need to realize that most real Americans live in their toilets and to them that is a compliment

In our local Jersey elections, this bagel shop owner who's constantly posting about politics put up a bunch of signs for a mayoral candidate & when they kept disappearing he put AirTags on them & claimed to trace the stolen signs to a rival candidate's car and police are now involved

NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG SAYS HE BELIEVES MOST PEOPLE IN GERMANY WILL MOSTLY WORK INSIDE A DIGITAL TWIN OF THEIR COMPANY, BUILDING DIGITAL CARS WITH DIGITAL BRAINS, WITH AI ROBOTS BUILDING ROBOTIC CARS INSIDE ROBOTIC FACTORIES

Did my annual "hey why not, it's Fall" mistake and ordered some seasonal Salted Maple Cold Brew that tasted like turbo ass & gulped it down so I could get back to regular coffee. Looking forward to doing this with some peppermint bullshit in the Winter!

You Can See Everything is way too hyped right now, need to let the inevitable backlash cycle play out then I’ll see it in a few weeks and come away with the only correct opinion

I was one of those Times Square "do you like comedy?" ticket sellers for ONE day. Sold 3, quit, asked for my money, and it was somehow only commission (no hourly wage, so you could work all day for nothing) and you had to work 2 weeks minimum to get that commission. So I never got my $27

The job is basically lying to foreign tourists that Chris Rock or Jerry Seinfeld MIGHT show up at The Improv tonight (I’m not stopping em!!) and therefore they should buy a pack of 20 tickets for their 3 day stay in New York City, a place with not much else to do

Showed my kid the 80s My Little Pony and one of the ponies is unmistakably Nancy Cartwright doing an early version of the Bart Simpson voice

The kids gym hosting a 2 year old’s birthday party was playing a soundtrack of Elmo songs and stuff like Who Let The Dogs Out then randomly threw on Running Up That Hill ??

At a “cool” restaurant and there was a lull in conversation noise for exactly enough time for me to hear a middle-aged lady at the bar say what I choose to believe was “Palpatine”

Pretty funny that after years of people saying “errm actually any team could spend like the Dodgers, how bout you direct your anger at your own cheap owner??” we learned they may be an actual criminal enterprise

Extremely serene to watch Sunday football after your team already lost on Thursday. I keep thinking there’s some errand hanging over my head then remembering I already knocked it out

thinking about how on my first day in LA I went to a coffee shop and saw a girl reading a book on acting. I thought “wow LA is pretty charming” and then she had a panic attack so bad they had to call her an ambulance

Applied for some random job, got a boilerplate rejection email, then a followup survey saying "We'd love feedback on your application journey!" JOURNEY might be UNDERselling it!!!

My mom sends me 4 Facebook videos a day about motherhood or being a grandma that are ten trillion times more earnest than any emotional exchange we have ever had

(acting in American Psycho but I forgot my lines) wow... business card.... a perfect rectangle... white, with words on it... All the key information is on here Jared Leto: (also forgot his lines) Plus it has Dope Handfeel as well

Re: that Sunday Ticket commercial, I’d be pretty pissed if I invited friends over, they insisted on watching other games, and I had to watch a four-way splitscreen for 3 hours

I recently resigned from my role at Anthropic, as I can no longer condone the company's decision to develop the weird amphibious military drone from the Robin Williams movie "Toys" - the company seems to know it's pointless but fear OpenAI will beat them to it (1/?)

That Vivek batting video was eerily similar to an old family VHS of kid-me in a batting cage telling the camera which various A’s sluggers were batting as I whiffed at pitch after pitch, once dropping the bat while 4 pitches sailed by

Saw a road worker with a vest that said “Working like CRAZY to support the LAZY” - Can anyone do anything anymore without fucking bitching about it?

TONY SCOTT: I need you to punch up the dialogue for this script, Crimson Tide - just don't make it TOO obvious you worked on it QUENTIN TARANTINO: You got it [FINAL PRODUCT] GENE HACKMAN: Who do you think you are, sailor, SONNY CHIBA in 1975’s criminally underrated THE BULLET TRAIN??
