@MattWalshBlog let the following bullshit fall out of his mouth hole: “Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer” and then @DKThomp cast the appropriate side eye with this: “What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.”

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

What a sick-ass archive pull.

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

YouTube video by Ozzy Osbourne - Topic Bark at the Moon

Half of my Black Sabbath records came from my Dad who bought them in the 70s. I remember watching Ozzy music videos on MTV and hearing about the bat incident all before I could drive a car. Ozzy passing is sad and a reminder of our limited time here. RIP prince of darkness.

One of my favorite weekly rituals. Sunday grilling drinking garage beers while listening to WPK roots and boots in the garage. Grateful we have another year of public radio.

Louisville Public Media has now raised:

$444,000.

In a little more than one day. Dunno, I’m pretty speechless. And I guess I’ll still be employed here for awhile. Can’t thank everybody enough who donated!

Cancelled Spotify and added that to my existing donation.

We at Louisville Public Media just lost $376,000 due to Congress passing the rescission bill last night to claw back funds from public media across America. Today we’re asking those who value our work to help make up those funds in an emergency drive so we can maintain the staff/services we provide:

Takes Dad notes

I absolutely hate push start ignitions and keyless entry. But last night I watched a show where someone evaded a killer very easily because they didn't have to try to start the car and drop the keys. At first I was like ohh nice then I realized it cut out the above thrilling scene.

Bernie and crimson ghosts at Coachella

Painted some Sasquatch paintings. It's soothing to think of the rancid stench of unknown creatures stalking the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

A package of miniature orange traffic cones, labeled "Itty Bitty Traffic Cones," containing ten pieces. The background features a road with traffic cones, and a warning label is visible.

When I get stressed out, my Itty Bitty Traffic Cones calm me down. I can't explain it, but it's true.

Don't even mention Mardi Gras. Just let them sit with it.

A parking lot showing a cybertruck in one spot, next to a car that has built a cybertruck-esque shell around it out of green plastic. It's really hard to describe exactly how silly this vehicle looks next to the green car.

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.

We as an industry need to take a hard look in the mirror.

Yes, young people think they’re invincible.

But after 15 years in tech I can say without a doubt that “move fast and break things” has had horrific consequences on accountability.

"what could the democrats do?"

1. Talking filibuster of every single trump nominee
2. file articles of impeachment every day
3. hold a press conference every morning detailing the crimes the trump regime committed the previous day

John Prine's debut album is so good. The perfect antidote to *waves hands* everything going on. Instead of doomscrolling and wallowing in self-pity while trying to carve out a way to scrape ahead... it's straight cheery venom.

"Spanish Pipedream" ought to be today's anthem.
