Every last rational brain cell just checked out and said "Nope. Moving to Fiji." It's on-brand for them. Hijack something popular, blink sweetly, blithely assert it has a meaning totally opposite of what is popularly understood and then laugh among themselves that they're "owning the libs."

This is my old city journalist brain firing but I believe that the USA way of isolating everybody into unwalkable suburbia, requiring private cars for existence, & removing true public space has had a disastrous effect on the US's sense of community & empathy and we must, but won't, deal with that

Like your phones, these machines' "personalities" will be subtly sadistic, monitoring your behavior and making suggestions and performing actions in a way to maximize profit. If you don't control it, someone else does. Your interests and theirs do not coincide.

I have a vicarious backache. Gorgeous bookcases, congrats!

"It shouldn't be worthy of the attention it's getting. It should be standard practice," Sibley said. "I thought we had an agreement on this s--t 80 years ago." You and me both my dude www.chron.com/news/houston...

“You can’t tell a non-offensive religious joke!” Bullshit, watch me. People will argue very passionately that there were no white people in the Bible. And they’re almost correct. There was one. Eventually. . . . Lot’s Wife.

"Chudnuggetry" Love it. Saving that one for ... later. I'm sure I'll need it at some point.

TCF ushered in the COVID "March that never ends." In that spirit, I give you the Groundhog Day of presidential inaugurations... the January 20th that never ends. 🎉 Today is Sunday, the 2936th day of January, 2017.
