After this interview, I told Conan that I’d traded “Hips and Makers” for my contractual freedom from Warner Brothers to escape the corporate demand for vapid product over real music. His response: “Never look back.”

I never did. Thank you to all of you who came with me.

The dumb text by Vincent Vallelong has been replaced to say "Today it is snowballs. Tomorrow it could be Evas piloted by depressed teens with daddy issues." The font matches perfectly. It is Google Font "Cinzel" should you wish to make your own.

Truly, a slippery slope.

The Supreme Court has finally announced that Donald Trump’s stupid, illegal tariffs were, in fact, stupid and illegal. Now every company in America is lining up to get a big fat tariff refund from the federal government. But who actually paid those tariffs? YOU did, because America’s big retailers marked everything up. So shouldn’t YOU get the refund? Not a bunch of corporate dipshits and douchebags? Cards Against Humanity thinks so. That’s why we are giving 100% of our tariff refund back to all of you, our customers. Sign up now at GetYourFuckingMoneyBack.com.

After the multimedia extravaganza of the last post, I went back to basics with this one. I'm talking barebones, green monochrome text on a black screen, 64K RAM, hardcore, "getting business done" stuff. Help me lift this 28 pound "portable" Kaypro II onto the table and I'll show you what I built.

The crazy thing is the people who "unmask" people with AI have the exact tool necessary to prove it doesn't work. Just put a mask on and have someone else "unmask" you.

Glad someone is finally protecting the irreplaceable cultural food ways of tuna casserole and gelatin-based fish dinners.

Why didn't she plead the Fifth when she had her private meeting with Todd Blanche last year?

YouTube video by Qasim Rashid 3 Things From Epstein Files Not Getting Enough Attention

We need to talk about three of the most devastating revelations from the initial partial release of the Epstein files—most of which is being ignored by corporate media.

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying the blog so far! With all of the interest in "retro" being so focused on gaming, it's been a lot of fun going the other direction and exploring these tools. I hope I can build something you continue to enjoy.

"The other day I was trying to lick my asshole...
but he was in the middle of signing divorce papers!"

Heavens to Murgatroyd!

Video production has always been a little terrifying for me; I simply have no head for it. That didn't stop me from diving head-first into those unknown waters for this week's post.

All of this, when it's so much easier to just fire Bari Weiss.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.

Wow.

The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

idea i had

there is a post from the US gov 'department of war' on here that includes video of them actually murdering people and threatening to murder more people & it's been up since november

The Strong is honored to announce the acquisition of the Curt Vendel Atari Collection. Curt was a pioneer in video game preservation. The collection contains retail material, schematics, documentation, prototypes, and more.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:

When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Ok, but can we all agree this is super weird?

He can’t remember which country he threatened to invade and he says they “call him daddy”….?!?

Am I supposed to feel sorry for AI or something?

XPER on the Commodore 64 In a supreme act of hubris, I use 80s "expert system" AI technology to turn a C64 into a rain predictor. Will it fair better than a coin flip?

Fascinated by this @stonetoolsblog.bsky.social post - the idea of trying to implement an expert system on a *Commodore 64* is something I'd never even considered! stonetools.ghost.io/xper-c64/

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here

McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…
