if you’re thinking of music from diamond commercials, it might be Spring by Vivaldi

kilts are awesome

Lead is 100% natural. so is Cadmium! it’s a part of this nutritious breakfast.

I keep waiting for Amazon to start generating AI-driven online profiles spouting Ai-driven selling points for AI-generated media.
It’s the AI version of “Flood the zone with shit” except the entire internet is The Zone.

this is the “can it run DOOM” of manufacturing

“Space Doggity” by Jonathan Coulton still gets me. It’s about Laika, the first dog in space. Also the first dog to not come back from space. Jonathan is a particularly genius songwriter and this one does not disappoint.

Why Should I Cry For You is both beautiful and pleasant and ruinous

this season on Black Mirror, we re-write the first episode of Torchwood (the one where they briefly reanimate dead people to ask them how they died)

@frog (just making sure you get a notification of this reply - some servers aren’t great at that)

beg pardon for upcoming language where I try to tell you what to think, it comes from a positive place.

friend, don’t ever let the attitudes of others make you feel like you’re “lesser.”

Let me tell you about one of the most wonderfully boring things I’ve ever seen. One of the most powerful displays of belonging was at my first Pride parade, oh wow this was ages ago. I didn’t notice the name of the group, I’m sure they had a banner, but it just looked like a bunch of regular people walking in the middle of a parade. All I could think at the time was “where is the colourful clothing? why are they not dancing? Where is the outrage? where is the joy?” I didn’t see anything that would make me judge them as being worthy of being in a pride parade. Fuck just writing it makes me realize how stupid I was :) Spoiler: They were in the pride parade because they were all queer. Pick a letter, that was them. And they all looked totally normal, and they didn’t dance and sing and turn themselves about. Because that was the kind of queer they were.

if you’re “too old” you still matter. If you’re “too boring” you still matter. You are not unworthy.

rather than uninstalling adblockers entirely, can’t they just whitelist YouTube? Ad Trackers only have value when they track people across multiple sites: if the tracker only functions on YT then users get the video views they want and YT gets near-worthless tracking data.

Have you read the fiction they come up with? It’s not good.

I guess anti-fascists must be bad for business, or something.

Bingo! If accountability hurts the bottom line, then The Big Money will argue against accountability in any form.

Big Money got a mighty voice.
Big Money make no sound.

I’d love to go a goddamn day without hearing about this man. The media’s bizarre fascination with him is entirely unhealthy.

yes it does seem that way, but have you considered that maybe we should just all give all of our money to Microsoft and then just die of poverty? It would make their reports look so much nicer.

unironically still using Winamp since 1998

I just want to mention the clever graphic design of the Illustration by Ben Kothe

holy shit I’m so glad I got out of I.T.
What the fuck is any of that
