Thought of the day:
The guys bitching about NIN for the past 3 decades also aren't doing anything interesting with industrial

"Christians keep turning into Blavatskyites"

The distinction between a cult and an established religion is that the latter no longer enriches an individual.

If you believe in the supernatural, anything is on the table. And it always morphs with desires, even when written down. Hence, sectarianism.

Is Neil Gaiman a monster I'll be mad at for the rest of my days?
Yes.
Will I be happy all those days that I look like Morpheus when I throw a coat on in the middle of the night?
Also, yes.

What's more annoying than Gen Alpha?
Millennials bitching about Gen Alpha (and sometimes calling them Gen Z while doing so)

Nice to see human nature is locked in an endless cycle of shaking our fists at children for all of recorded history.

There aren't a lot of classy ways to tell someone they're not a size 3.
RIP fasteners

Trump is forcing those around him to wear shoes he picks out.
I'm hoping this goes to the logical extreme.
#justdoit

I feel that.
I have stacks of games I haven't played.
But I keep playing Civilization, because I can do it on the treadmill and listen to books.

I think every time Harry Kim died, he had to build his stats back from zero toward that promotion.

History doesn't repeat, it rhymes.
But this bullshit is like a kindergartener trying to finish "Roses are red..." in crayon.

When the bar is in Hell, any improvement is welcome.

The TOS aesthetic just looks... unfortunate with mustaches.
Scotty has to reach the age of pappy-core to work the 'stache.

Gene Roddenberry would HATE Starfleet Academy.

But only because of the ZIPPERS.

(And maybe the lack of gratuitous sex)

It's kind of stunning how people epotomizing the Dunning-Krueger effect have become so bold that when they post something, it really takes me a moment to figure out if it's earnest or the most unhinged satire.

TikTok now specifically tracks immigration status and gender identity TikTok now specifically tracks immigration status and gender identity

Be careful what you post because "TikTok USDS Joint Venture" now reserves the right to take even more sensitive data.

If the state is concealing the identities of ICE agents that end lives, it's reasonable to treat them all as if they are.

If the state will end your life when you're peaceful and lawful, there's no incentive to stay peaceful and lawful.

May they never find peace again.

The older I get, the sadder I get about the untimely demise of Cliff Burton.

And our intelligence organizations.
Which rather explains how disastrously that has gone for 80+ years.

"I kept mentioning your name as if to guide the conversation back to music related discussion."

My dear, sweet, friend.
You are probably the only person on Earth that would invoke my name.

(I'm not even sure I qualify as a nano-celebrity.)

A soulless gloss of AI images and word vomit isn't JUST dominating the web with a tsunami of digital shit.
The fear caused from these intellectually bankrupt thieves supresses expression from ACTUAL artists.
The financial bubble, data center construction, and pollution atop that?
It's unforgivable.

It should come as no surprise that the dying brain of Donald mixed up Iceland and Greenland.
It's an old trick, like Nazis calling themselves socialists.
The same idiots continue to fall for it and think the KKK still votes for Democrats.
It's a great way to know a person is not worth listening to.

"Yes, you'll be a rich rockstar.
But as a tonedeaf rapper, overshadowed by a universally liked bassist.
And for the rest of your life, every time you appear in public, people will scream 'CALIFORNIA!'"

"But I can keep being a piece of shit, right?"

"Yes.
You'll still be Anthony Kiedis."

"Rad!"🤙🤙🤙

The most baffling #horrorart I've ever seen
by Emanuele Taglietti

Tiddies: out
Ass: wiped
Grave: mass (and pissed on?)

I listen to my news at 2x-3x speed.
On the rare occasions I hear Trump or Elon's real voices, it sounds like they're talking out of their asses while falling asleep between words.

I feel like it's both coincidence that a red flag has historically been used for Leftist causes and currently synonymous with bad things.
It's also exactly the type of dumb reframing that American intelligence agencies would spend decades inserting into discourse.

I'd really love there to be a redband horror trailer that turns into an aggressive SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONES ad

Jeeze, you go and call a shooter of vodka "kid sized" and everybody gets all upset 🙄

Why is reaching across the aisle in American politics always Democrats trying to be wussy Republicans?
Why is it never the fascist oligarch shills reaching out to the mealy mouthed corporate shills?
Can't they just meet in the middle on their horrid ideas? Go to the left of Hitler once in a while!

"How many amazing films have been #Oscars snubbed in favor of bullshit?"

Which gets me thinking, what's the point of watching the #AcademyAwards that don't reinforce what I think is objectively good?
Or even subjectively?

Having overthought it that much, I quit personally caring about them at all.

"Hello Kitty finally stopped that annoying dinging sound in the car!"

My complaint about ST:Discovery was not whatever mary sue crying and whatever else the haters were on about.

It was not getting to know more than 5 characters.
It was like having a supporting cast of recurring redshirts.

I feel like SF: Academy already has more fleshed out characters at least.
