You can’t own anything physical anymore, everything is digital, you can’t own anything digital now, storage is too expensive, you cant stream anything because they took it off the service once their parent company got bought out, you can’t get a McFlurry because the machine is broken

i'm merely a stone skipping on the surface of éliane's music, confounding it with ripples -- tried to memorialize the eternal for POW

me and @drewdaniel.bsky.social down at the schoolyard talking for @thecreativeindependent.com thecreativeindependent.com/people/music...

After spending all day on Twitter: People are essentially evil. After spending all day in the real world: People are essentially decent. After spending all day on Bluesky: People are essentially 38 years old.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

Your only job is to be a good host for whatever stops by to possess you

whoever invented laying in bed knew what they were doing

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit

setting notification sound to hunter l4d2 scream and posting "robocop is copaganda? and also it's just bad?" then strapping my phone to a high-speed drone and flying it around an elementary school

Iran keeps cooking our ass with these videos

Look. I say: Say it. Get yourself banned. Get the Discord subpoenaed. @ the FBI with a credible threat to a person with the power to do something. All bets are off, brother. When else

As a Democrat I support our brave men and women blowing up dozens or hundreds of people at a time, piece by piece, until it adds up to thousands, but not thousands or tens of thousands all at once. That's not who we are as a nation.

Some very say news just in, but Shozin Fukui, director of Pinocchio 964 and Rubbers Lover, passed away on 2 April. As some might know, in the midst of a resurgence of interest in his work that culminated with a 2025 retrospective at K's Cinema in Shinjuku, he was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.

learning that Jesus Christ conquered death and overcame the grave is a lot less impressive when you realize who his dad is 😕
