I appreciate Alec's sincerity and the way that he grounds these issues in humanity. This is a rant, but it is grounded in very human issues of agency and self-knowledge that are under-expressed in a lot of parts of society.

Now is as good a time as any to announce that after years of holding out, prints of my Tarantino-approved Rick Dalton piece are now available for pre-order. Limited run, unlimited feelings. www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products...

I appreciate all of these attempts to kill art—AI, the corruption of the NEA, the Kennedy Center coup, evil corporations buying up properties l. It shows that they know art is still dangerous and powerful. What they don’t understand is that you can’t ever truly choke it out. Keep making art.

As a reference, the $46B that Meta spent building this shit is about the same amount of money Spain used to built its WHOLE high speed rail network. All 2469 miles of it. Zuckerberg got that money selling shitty ads and destroying democracy, and gave the world this.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

1. Spotify has the best user made playlists 2. YT Music has been the best algo for finding new music 3. Apple Music pays artist the best and has Classical App I hate that I feel like I’m getting half an experience when I use any of these individually. Well, back to listening to my podcasts.

Trump’s executive orders are not law. This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it. Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

Starbucks spent MILLIONS advertising a Super Bowl promotion for free coffee on Monday - but failed to staff stores properly for the extra traffic. Amid complaints of poor promo communication & extremely long waits, Seattle baristas at the U Way store WALKED OUT on ULP strike alongside customers!🧵

The same people who want to remove DEI also want Disney to release Song of the South and were pissed when Splash Mountain went away. What could possibly be the common theme on this one?

I had the pleasure of seeing these remastered series of Argentine Noir films in theaters two years ago at the Heights Theater and as a big film noir fan, these are totally worth catching while they're streaming on @criterionchannel.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vyr...

Disappointment at my CT scan: they only made me wear scrub pants and not the full “show your ass” hospital gown. Also in true American healthcare, I was halfway through an ultrasound before I asked when they were getting me into the machine and they’re like—uh.. (scheduled me for the wrong thing)

@snell.zone Hi Jason! I was successfully using an iPad Mini for ebooks but I’ve caught myself doomscrolling too much on the device these past 2 weeks. Coming from the Mini, will I be happy using the Kobo Clara BW or should I go for something bigger?
