The chapter of RFK’s most recent book - that he wrote to defend his belief that COVID was actually a weapon designed to target white people and spare certain groups like Jewish people - in which he talks about how he does not believe germs actually cause disease is called “The White Man’s Burden.”

It's wild to end up 48 years old and realize it's Julie that is the main character of the first Clive Barker Hellraiser, not Kirsty.

Reddit convo re: Alan Watts. Of course there is healing, growth and self-awareness, but this is lovely: "The breakthrough comes from realizing that you are already perfect and whole. Once you get that, there’s nothing to do and nowhere to go. I find that going to nature really brings this home."

Take the mysticism out of marketing & prevent bubbles. It took about 15 years for networked storage to be called "the Cloud" but it wasn't marketed for about 25 years. It is WILD we've not learned lessons, and we're allowing the term "artificial intelligence" be used for "large language models".

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

People LOVE revenge films, and people love Kung Fu, and the 1980s. So do a reboot of a Gymkata crossed with feminist revenge with "I Split on Your Grave" and it's all badass ninja revenge.

How about a "Literal Idiom" Festival with party poopers and shooting fish in a barrel, etc? I actually do want to create some more joy in the world. Coopers are losing work with interest in wine waning, so putting those barrels to good use for some messy fun? America loves guns and gore and poop.

You heard it here first: Before "touching grass", there was "go fly a kite". You know what? I will. Flying a kite is going to come back as a trend, big time. It starts now. When flying, you can't look at your phone & after 38yrs of being online, almost nothing is real, & you can't trust it.

Any physical media people on here? I've been collecting records for 40 years but I did get deep into the 4K thing with dvds. I have a 4K of 1982 basket case and the abyss knockoff that was the Leviathan knockoff that is deep star 6 which is a treat.

I know all these righteous and optimistic young people are fighting. But when do we call it? Is it going to be the end of time and we are just sitting at our desks and shrug that we were privileged enough we weren't murdered yet?

If you are filling in the blanks that is on you. This is just human world history: It is absolutely batshit insane to think you were of a culture that had a genocide committed against you, and in less than a hundred years, you are gangbuster thrilled to do a genocide on someone else. Pure chaos.

It is national Martini day and I bet there has never been a picture of not only a martini with a lime twist, but two. Now the hunt begins for pre-originality. Monkey 47 is the gin. Obviously stirred never shaken. We aren't animals making people have their worst day at work.

this kind of panic is completely disconnected from objective reality, what on earth are they expecting will happen if the city becomes (optimistically) 10% more responsive to the needs of people who will never know anyone who has a line drawing of themselves in the newspaper

I've watched Star Wars and I don't understand how you're supposed to know how to treat the different creatures. Is the weird guy making noises the mayor of this town or do I ride him like a horse. Or perhaps... both...

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

I think about this a lot. Left the center and progressives burn their own to the ground even in virtue signaling, take Al Franken. Republicans and conservatives deal with their toxic and racist or sexist people the same, they give them a special on Netflix, or they buy more of their books.

How about a streaming service with the sole agenda of stopping the gaslighting of people that most films are basically a three or five part miniseries that no earthly human can actually accomplish watching in one sitting amidst the struggles and mundacity of daily life.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
