Honest to God, I came here to say the same thing. This shit has AI written all over it.

Bonus points for the first-person-shooter motion sickness!

And while they won't last forever, socks will last MUCH longer if you use a drying rack. Dryers fry the elastic in no time.

There are entire academic disciplines devoted to how and why societies go awry and collapse. But all you really need to do is take a look at what your neighbors are throwing into the recycle bin.

Oh, lord—I saw this, thought Toby Huss died, and freaked out.

I don't have the constitution to be online anymore.

Nice day for canoeing.

Happy 44th to MTV.

And now we meet in an abandoned studio. We hear the playback, and it seems so long ago...

He's not necessarily wrong about Chicago, though. I live here, and when I opened a window just now to let some fresh air in, a fruit fly from my compost basket got in with it. That thing's sure to be all over my monitor screen come sundown.

Sure thing. Your point was a good one since anyone can mock up an image. And it wasn't highlighted on their site when I looked, either, but @kairyssdal.bsky.social shared it: bsky.app/profile/kair...

Walk into the same bar you always walk into, try yet another stupid icebreaker, and have it work one time out of several thousand? Then, decades later, you're still together, and you still can't see why, and all she'll say is you're a public-service effort she's doing to make up for her past crimes?

The weirdest part for me was that I first got wind of it a couple days back—on LinkedIn. Not the place you usually see this stuff break.

I'm a Chicagoan here (Andersonville). I usually pay attention to the AQ rating, but I was so happy about the otherwise great weather today that I didn't look. All our windows are open. No wonder it smells like burning, and my eyes itch.

Just learned something important.

Thank you—I'll give this a look. I agree it feels forced. I read it a long time ago—as in, college, which makes it decades back— but I remember thinking I was glad I did because there's still some great writing in it. However, the parts were greater than the whole.

I hear ya.

Did my first video ad for the first book in my series. I'm no Spike Jonze, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

I was so-so on that book myself after loving CUCKOO'S NEST. That said, there's an incredible scene I can't say anything about until you're finished because it's a spoiler.

And The Big Short. The book was good, actually, but the movie was even better.

Also, Jaws.

The Outlaw Josie Wales comes to mind.

I recently went to the dentist and got annoyed all over again by how ridiculous it is that bones heal, but teeth don't.

Yet today at the barber, I celebrated the fact that hair doesn't have nerves.

It all balances out, you see.

"[M]ust be criminally investigated and placed in handcuffs." Why bother investigating if you're already planning to handcuff them? Save some taxpayer dollars and go straight to the shackles. Efficiency!

It's sad to see, especially when you have a connection. My uncle was a CBS cameraman his entire career, too. He worked the first Beatles appearance on ED SULLIVAN, and some years back, we found this clip of him doing a bit on THE GARRY MOORE SHOW.

They can't kill the history.

Yet.

White text on black: Rebellions are built on hope.

As I was reading this, a woman trying to quiet a crying baby passed the open window. Sometimes the universe is too OTN.

Anyway, they really are trying to Montgomery Burns this one, assuming it's only about money—and then offering way too little.

Dick York as BEWITCHED's Darren
