Sick of the rat race man. These rats are fast as shit. Tired of losing.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Ah man we’re screwed

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

things kind of stink now but you basically dont have to hear that pearl jam song "jeremy" anymore ever unless you actively want to hear it. it used to be you would be hear eddie vedder hooting like five or six times a day and you were powerless to stop it

Birdwatching at night sounds like a hoot

“that sign won’t stop me because i can’t read”

Me at 17 (excited): Anything can happen!

Me at 37 (depressed): Anything can happen!

love when a paywall sounds like it’s drawing a gun on you

Ah fuck we got the Philip K Dick future 😞

"ross perot but aggressively dumber" does somehow feel like it was an inevitable part of how this decade would unfold

Judd Hirsch’s confession that he hasn’t spoken to god since the death of his wife gets me. To this day it gets me.

Adam Baldwin’s “no sir” followed by a barrage of gunfire is so much fun

Robert Loggia is pitch perfect.

James Rebhorn gives an absolutely clinic in needle-dickery

Harvey Fierstein’s time on screen is brief, but so good

Watching Independence Day as is our annual 4th of July tradition. A feast of character actor performances.

A large black cat sits on a woman’s leg (she is wearing pink pants). The cat’s paws are wrapped around her thigh tightly. The expression on the cat’s face is serious but a little silly. He looks like a gremlin.

I present: Michael with a B. He is part gremlin. He is mostly gremlin, actually. Right now he is very very afraid of fireworks. Pray for gremlin Michael please

Army of Two, but it’s Shawn and Burton Guster from Psych

“you come up with a mean nickname to call this guy on TV?”
“sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked”

refreshing to find out that some bombs are too unseemly to drop

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers
