Moon ring over Pasadena

And just today, I got a rejection letter in the mail from my health insurance company for a procedure I had done in the hospital over a month ago. I’m not saying that violence is ever justified, but I understand.

People with disabilities have become the token marketing tool for every tech company and it drives me absolutely insane.

Proud to be a Spaniard.

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they “can never be undone.”

OMG....Lina Khan just started following me on X.

My first rule for Bluesky happiness: Anyone, and I mean anyone, posting AI slop will be automatic blocked in a New York nanosecond. If I wanted to see that crap I would have stayed on the other site.

The probability that Elon Musk has an account on this site and it's quietly cruising it to see what people are saying about him is pretty damn high.

The largest DNA study (2020) on Vikings across 80 different sites in Europe showed they were racially mixed and only about 15% of indigenous Norse DNA made it to modern era. It also showed that the modern image of Scandinavians with blue eyes and blonde hair is mostly fiction.

Placebo had the best cover of Kate Bush's "Running up that hill" of any of the covers ever made. I always felt a little annoyed people forgot it. When you watch this video remember it was made in 2003, before social networks existed, making it somewhat more powerful. youtu.be/d-mYX0qKkB8?...

As a sociologist (whose name I cannot recall) said back in the 1990s about the future "The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer, and the ground in between will become more violent"

Nice

I don't think the business elites understand just how much they're hated. Today's assassination and rampant celebration of it is a window into America's soul. I think it's going to send shockwaves among top CEO's who will now spend exhorbitant amounts on security, further isolating them from society

YouTube has allowed its platform to get filled up with ads for illegal handguns from China and they're not doing jack s*** about it.

New level of lunacy achieved.

My piece on Patel is up. (Gifted here. Thanks, Bluesky folks.) www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

My goal for the next year is to find a woman in her late 40s who has the same problems and issues as Tiffany from Silver Lining Playbook. And I'm not a dancer but I'm willing to learn.

Currently watching a video of the horrible terrorist attack on Nakatomi Plaza back in 1988. We shall never forget.

Walmart has been ordered to pay a former truck driver $35 million after falsely accusing him of workers compensation fraud and firing him after he was injured in an accident.

Dark new page in US history: “Several current federal employees told CNN they’re afraid their lives will be forever changed – including physically threatened – as Musk makes behind-the-scenes bureaucrats into personal targets” www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/b...

I have been thinking about this, precisely.

New low record: X hits the 53rd spot. Sink baby, sink ...

Microsoft says they aren’t training on your documents, but also “there is a clause in [their] Services Agreement that grants..company 'a worldwide and royalty-free intellectual property license to use Your Content..to improve Microsoft products and services” www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

"The Expanse" is getting prophetic vibes lately: Martians are really fascist assholes who hate Earth, even if they are still living on it and haven't left yet.
