Did no one see Snowpiecer?!

Of all the creepy AI ideas, this one feels the most insidious. It is something we would all want but would only be tiny facsimile of the real thing. And how long before it starts spouting conspiracy theories

A Light in Very Dark Days: Nancy Pelosi and AIDS

I will never understand people who don’t like musical theater. This is so goddamn joyful

I would’ve been 16/17. I think I was sorta aware of TZ in the pop culture ether, but mostly the ride was like any other haunted house experience. I’m sure I missed specific references though. I remember the ride vividly (also part of a core memory with my uncle who passed not long after).

We fought a whole revolution so we don't have to understand this

Can we talk about JOY WOODS!?!

My bus stop is right in front of his statue in Lafayette Park. I love watching the tourists wondering out loud who he is (and how to say his name)

It’s not just, get a cat, cat plays with it instead of catching or killing it, you have to catch the thing in a shoebox and put it outside?
