Inside each of us are are two Captain Kirks. One is an evil maniac and the other is nice but kind of ineffective.

Everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever done
Gonna give it away
Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway
Even if it doesn't pay

Vanilla is the flavor of class consciousness. Throw off the chains of mint chocolate chip.

A giant roomba sphere that vacuums up all our problems is very likely by 2030.

I love the Jenny Nicholson video about Endgame where she realizes in real time that she doesn't want to talk about Endgame and so she doesn't.

When potato chips settle your stomach you have tarried with demons and won.

I've been playing the vibraphone all day and none of my code is working. What am I doing wrong?

Catching up with Poker Face?

Oasis were avatars of 90s lad culture. Very popular with middle class turnips wishing for the cultural cachet of a football hooligan.

mississippi has drive thru daiquiri

Evangelion + Jaws = Pacific Rim

I trust you. Putting cheddar on sardines from now on.

This feels a bit mean-spirited.

Doesn't zoning distort the market? Supply has been artificially reduced for many types of housing. And that artificially pushes up demand for what can be built. And property owners and developers lobby to keep it that way. There's a whole system propping up housing prices.

A modest endowment could keep a bookstore running indefinitely. The fact that this doesn't already exist is proof the rich have no culture.

The squeaky wheels are like something from a Total Shreds video. Beyond parody.

No king but the king of coming of age horror stories.

Have you read Fritz Leiber's Silver Eggheads? Classic 50s era sci-fi. It takes place in a 'future' where machines write books and authors are just actors who market them. I guess the future is here, pre-satirized for your convenience. We've let you down Fritz.

Solid story pitch.

Wow. That's awesome. Electric.

I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see.

How it feels advocating for a Toronto-Montreal high speed rail line.

Decoy duck watched by hunter.

A new friend! Can't wait to tell the other ducks.

That's like 30 to 35 days of work. Wow. Wow wow wow. ... Wow.

History is like that sometimes. Nothing ever happens and then it all happens at once.

Is he a legal beagle?

Imperceptibly?

The implied promise of AI is that you can put the apple back on the tree of knowledge. I think that's why it's so appealing to fascists. They want to be free of the burden of intelligence. All this complicated thinking stuff just makes them anxious.

Even if this stuff actually worked offloading decision making to a digital god is maybe a bad idea. The implicit promise of AI is that it will take from us the burden of intelligence. But we are our choices. The machines can't carry this weight for us.

Toronto police ticket cyclists in High Park for speeding. It's an infuriating allocation of resources when cars are out there killing cyclists and pedestrians. Car brained madness.
