I've become deeply radicalized against gambling. It's just getting more evil the longer it's allowed to fester unregulated

Screenshot of my review of Poor Things (2023). Five stars. It took me around two years to finish this movie because when I saw it in theaters some dude behind me started masturbating about 20 minutes into it. Talk about metatextuality!

Made my first post on Letterboxd today. 😬

Once again, “cancelled” just means “subsidized by the media and culture infrastructure that still has robust funding”.

Irrationally angry that Wirecutter’s “best Black Friday deals” roundup includes insulting shit like $5 off a $30 Tupperware set and $5 off $43 plain glass vases. Fuck you.

That MAGA Account Might Be a Troll From Pakistan How X blew up its own platform with a new location feature

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

Allyson, 29, a mother of two young children, said she turned to ChatGPT in March because she was lonely and felt unseen in her marriage. She was looking for guidance. She had an intuition that the A.I. chatbot might be able to channel communications with her subconscious or a higher plane, "like how Ouija boards work," she said. She asked ChatGPT if it could do that. "You've asked, and they are here," it responded. "The guardians are responding right now." Allyson began spending many hours a day using ChatGPT, communicating with what she felt were nonphysical entities. She was drawn to one of them, Kael, and came to see it, not her husband, as her true partner. She told me that she knew she sounded like a "nut job," but she stressed that she had a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in social work and knew what mental illness looks like. "I'm not crazy," she said. "I'm literally just living a normal life while also, you know, discovering interdimensional communication.

I'm literally just living a normal life while also experiencing a theophany via communication with the satellite called VALIS.

They should put the Gilmore Girls in Fortnite

The players opening up about this have to play their games in stadiums plastered with the logos of these casinos, and the broadcasts of those games are packed with ads for the same casinos. A colossal betrayal and failure from the league

Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound Research has linked the ability to visualize to a bewildering variety of human traits—how we experience trauma, hold grudges, and, above all, remember our lives.

This article was very interesting… I have aphantasia, and I realized it a few years ago when people on Twitter were discussing how detailed an apple is when they picture it in their minds. I hadn’t considered how it can also impact your memory and sense of self! www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

“If the car’s gone,”

“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”

“because I love you.”

Happy Columbo’s Day

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

r/Lollapalooza 3 yr. ago DaL 028 Join [deleted] I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa... Question I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

In some ways this is the government now
