I don't. Maybe Jamie should get royalties for that slogan but it's Tom Peters who did this to all of us.
vile, wretched, kind of embarrassing tbh, have some dignity
sometimes I feel a little disappointed to miss them but I treasure the mystery of Chuck Tingle too much for it to get me down, there *should* be mystery in the world, there should be knowledge that you can't find on the internet, these things are precious actually
I got a can of kombucha today with "join our cult" as the fucking call to action with the social media qr code (geddit cult, like culture, like a scoby) and I almost pelted it through a closed window
enough already with the cutesy punny slogans and homiies and origin stories and shit, don't pretend your brand is a person let alone my friend, we aren't here to get parasocial, I'm not interested and I don't care, just sell me the product and fuck off
normally I would never give 5 hrs to a video essay by anyone less than hbomberguy himself, but this. I will never be able to praise this highly enough. It took me 3 days to get through, bring snacks, I promise it's worth every minute. Please watch it.
well that looks fucking incredible
BABYLEG
oh, mood
were I not so far away, may I see the trailer please?
if it was a cheapie passive capacitive type it'd just work but if it's paired to the tablet in the first place then it's not one of those and probably would need some bollocks, yeah
If you're uncomfortable with Bluesky owning (and being able to delete) your data but don't want to go the whole way to self-hosted/another service, you should: 1) Register identity recovery keys, which will allow you to point your current identity to a new PDS 2) Backup your PDS periodically
yeah the caffeine started to hit and I remembered you use your phone and I was like well that was just unhelpful of me wasn't it. Would a stylus be any good for you do you think? Or would it come with new and different problems?
obviously that doesn't help on phone/tablet though
doesn't always work but F9 toggles reader view, and if you're quick you can sometimes hit it before the javascript adcuck cryware loads
first social media gave everyone adhd and now large language models are bringing in digitally induced frontal lobe dementia. the future is bright
FYI for anyone who would like to no longer be on the academia dot edu site 👇
Kimmel has more... I want to say substance. You can tell he's made out of meat. Fallon's the one that looks like "what if one of those puppets for raising endangered birds but late night host" and acts like a weird dorkass Marie Antoinette. You wouldn't notice if he was replaced with AI.
I was fully crab raving his death before the wiki editors even "was"-ed about it. And then for six months I couldn't get to bed on time because I was hoping Rupert Murdoch would go next.
I just redid the six Kissinger episodes
went looking for one of those supercuts, poor choice of search string, found what I was looking for but at what cost
fun fact, I have one fewer friend with bipolar than I had a year ago. Because he got rediagnosed. It was c-ptsd all along. I don't know what you're going through and I love you and I will keep loving you. Kitten for your nerves:

Here's a thing that's probably right up your Straße, you big mad oddball.x
The thing about being an artist is that sometimes you’ll have a really silly/cursed image enter your head and spend hours of your life drawing it. Hours you’ll never get back.
rebuilt my website despite that I am busy and didn't want to, basically the same as the old one but with more dropshadow and less goatse
this is just brutal and I'm old enough to know it's true
This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.” It existed yesterday and is gone today.
Oh my god, that's disgusting. Where?!
love you but god damn
afaik the effect tapers off rather than just stopping working after whatever amount of time, so if you can play some tetris after work it should still help 🫂
YIKES ALIVE MOTHERFUCKER
I mean, could you blame them, really?
was hard to keep the outside out in a lot of places I lived so I had to make a lot of peace accords with wildlife over the years. Better to have wasps, geckos, hunstmans, and cellar spiders, than redbacks, cockroaches, mosquitos, and the rest. Ecosystems baybee!
at this stage in the season they'll be looking for sugar, they get hangry. Could try a little saucer of Jarritos/fruit juice/mashed or overripe fruit/whatev outside away from doors/windows, with a little routine they'll quickly default to looking for that instead of coming in bc it's just easier
Toilet Wasps does sound alarming, I once had a wasp get all the way up my skirt and in my underpants and somehow neither of us was harmed in the encounter but cmon guys personal space
the only choice is to shred
I love wasps, befriending them is up there with befriending crows for "earn loyal allegiance of a terrifying army and cement reputation as a witch"
can you lure them out with fruity soda? possible side effects include that they may remember you and be your friends for many wasp-generations to come
the important part is she's perked up, now she's had a few days to get used to being stoned out of her tiny brain all the time she's out from under the bed, playful and snuggly, bathing herself and scratching the post, the quality of life is there
miracles have been worked on the face of my sweet little cat, we may be able to postpone the inevitable, not forever but perhaps a few weeks
I would've been so envious
folk horror be like "here's some twigs arranged in a different than usual way"
miracles
good news! No one does.
zines are cool and you still have time to get this absolute shitload of really super extra cool zines for free, I think you should and not just because one of them is mine
ah this looks wonderful! I'm a total dork for the King in Yellow, I can't wait to play this when I unpack ❤️
I can't think of a finer assemblage of weirdos and perverts to be weathering this decaying hellscape with than you all
more to the point I'm thinking about what is to be done in spite of it, but I may have to keep walking for a bit to get there
nazi + fascist occultism is persistently treated as fringe and salacious trivia (because occultism is silly and fascism is serious), when it's actually load-bearing--now as then. Not because they're powerful mages, but because their belief that they are or could be infuses and informs action
combined with and enhanced by the sanitising of white christian nationalist violence of course; "narcoterrorists" do witchcraft we can stoke a satanic panic about but white christian lone wolves and lost boys just reference memes
thinking about how refusal to engage with topics like "meme magic," and the reflexive dismissal of occultism as an inherently unserious subject unworthy of attention or study, significantly impairs understanding of these movements and cuts off numerous effective counters
and lest we forget that piece, I want to say Burroughs? Or maybe just heavily Burroughs-inspired? About shooting and the "gnostic"/"samadhi" state

Happiness is mandatory. The Computer is your friend. Trust The Computer.
The people wondering "how could anyone who isn't a professional escape after a high profile daylight assassination" are forgetting two things: 1. Cops are bad at their jobs 2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs
This is very real non-planted evidence and I also heard it had Satan symbols on the stock and the bullets were shaped like little Obama statues, and it was handmade made in Gaza by hunter biden, and instead of a bang sound it shouts the communist manifesto, and uhh and it hates football too
the Long STFU Friday
no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say charlie kirk died from a grand piano falling on his head and his mouth turned into piano keys and then a flower pot fell on his dick and it honked like a bike horn. don’t say stuff like that
reupping because you don't have to like him for graphic images to be traumatic, it's not about him, fuck him, this is for you, you don't want those images becoming intrusive, ok, you don't need that in your head, so if you've been exposed play some tetris, it's free and it will help
Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.
My grandfather used to say: “Wasps get mean in autumn because they know their time is nearly done.” Certain people are like that, too…
do you become a dictator and then wake up one morning with a totally inexplicable desire to invade Poland specifically. is it like when some people get pregnant and want to eat rocks
Folks in Melbourne, you may wanna send some business to the comrades at Glou Wine Bar on Smith St Collingwood, this is superb. A masterclass in the bare minimum level of contempt those who work in real estate deserve glou.com.au
My buddy who's a HS Physics teacher said that one of his students asked him why it's called a hallucination when AI does it but it's a wrong answer on a test if a student does it and yeah
I love this so much I FEEL IT IN MY BONES 😆
I've received and given tattoos, you're regularly checking in visually (posture, expression, gaze/focus) and verbally, and constantly watching for skin response, such as if the skin suddenly goes pale or sweaty or clammy or tight or etc. This robot idea is so stupid and dangerous
Someone is going to be disfigured and they won't even be able to sue because they'll have signed a standard waiver
Thirdly, and this is really just a quibble with the writer, nobody in the industry calls them "tattoo parlors" you buffoon, you party city clown nose
second the fuck of all, motherfucker whomst can eat my whole ass, tattooing has already experienced a technological revolution comparable to the printing press, THE FUCKING TATTOO MACHINE YOU STUPID PRICK. Get a tattoo from someone that pig-ignorant about tattooing, you get what you deserve.
100% this machine will cause ink loss, blowouts, and scarring. Calibrating on the fly to different skin depths and textures can not be automated, you will never convince me it can, it's too complex.
wait I thought Gail Simone wrote You're So Vain
he had scenes in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and iirc he was noticeably asymmetrical then, but yeah it's definitely much more pronounced now, wouldn't know if that's thanks to the ravages of time or pathology though
Friends, I don't have the emotional bandwidth to respond individually, I just have to hope you know I appreciate you and your kindness means a lot. Shitposting is cheap but seriousposting about my cat is. Heavy. I trust you understand, and I love you.
this isn't my first helping and I'm always struck by the absurdity
grief is so weird. Sometimes it's like: > put the bread in and start the toaster > collapse on the floor sobbing for three minutes > get up and wash your face > get the butter out of the fridge > stare into the middle distance > toast for dinner
it's going so fast, a little lump last monday, today it's a huge ulcerating cronenbergian situation. The vet said a couple of months maybe, I'm starting think that might have been optimistic.
Convergent Dooverlution, a new EP of bite-sized music from The Falling Dream and Kay Orchison
convergent evolution
hmmmm gonna guess some primordial Aussie comedian pronounced it like that onetime on tv in the mid-20th then
my whole family pronounces it "horse doovers" to each other, we do know how it's supposed to be pronounced, it's a familect thing
this is poetry
litfic is the literature of self-obsession (it doesn't have to be)
Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...
Remember this. The Nazis were defeated by geologists and car mechanics and school teachers and milkmen. Ordinary people from all over the world who risked their own lives to put the fascists in the ground where they belong.
I did admittedly wonder if you had more to say about the caves, had I known it was logged to forgettory I might've prodded
that is fantastic and also kind of concerning... how *is* your head?
(it's not an especially accessible album ngl)
actually Trent & Mariqueen's project, How to Destroy Angels, is named after a Coil album
one of my more prominent musical influences (though I can hear the NIN in some of the unreleased stuff, although although Trent also loves Coil, it always seems to come back to them, in some kind of spiral motion you could say)
I love it too, one of my favourites
many fun and blurry memories feature Icon of Coil, but Coil were in a different league entirely
or this
here, replace it with this maybe
