in this house, we have heckin' doggos, we adult like a boss, we drink IPAs, we listen to Matt and Kim, and we also are apparently the only age cohort meaningfully committed to liberal democracy

T's US in 2025 is engaging in increasing amounts of casual expansionary fascism, and there's now little difference from P's Russia in principle. Political class, industry, voters.

Just made my first generated music clips with Google's MusicLM.

9 years ago I decided to learn music production vs DJing because it was a more challenging endeavor that produced more unique skills. In 2023, DJing is pulling ahead as a hobby because the audience values performing.

White House says Biden is 'fine' after he tripped and fell on stage at Air Force graduation President Joe Biden fell on stage at the U.S. Air Force Academy graduation on Thursday. The White House says Biden is “fine” after he tripped over a sandbag. Biden had been greeting the graduates in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at the front of the stage with salutes and handshakes. Biden turned to jog back toward his seat when he fell. He was helped up by an Air Force officer as well as two members of his U.S. Secret Service detail. He then returned to his seat to view the end of the ceremony. White House communications director Ben LaBolt later tweeted, “He's fine.” Two small black sandbags were on stage supporting the teleprompter used by Biden and other speakers.

This is getting more and more confidence inspiring.

Reminder that this incredible podcast exists: Absolutely Mental. The premise of every episodei s Ricky Gervais calls Sam Harris and asks him questions as serious as, "Why are we afraid of death?", and -- occasionally -- as silly as, "Would you rather have a baby's head or a baby's body?"
