Thinking about Glem’s Bounty

Hobbies in big letters I don’t really have any hobbies, having fallen into the class trap of the working creative that is essentially a pile of bills and immediate needs placed gently over a hastily piled patch of grass. Mo...

Haven't been feeling my best this week, but I wrote a little newsletter about needing a hobby, repairing my old iPod, and how the work I used to do helped build comfort in the present.

Would “All Apologies” be the opposite of “unapologetic?”

Aka "Arvin Clone!"

I met Amy Acker at a convention once, and the conversation we had was about how confusing and convoluted Alias was, and that's why it probably doesn't have a long tail like, say the Buffyverse.

Remember Amy Acker was in S5 as a villain doing... something evil?

we’ve had two truly enormous crises under Trump and the first one was covid which everyone apparently gave him a pass for despite the fact that he made it worse

but this one is completely, obviously, unquestionably his fault and would not have happened without him

30 Rock was the greatest show . . .

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

You ARE making hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy, Pete. Didn’t you see Toy Story 3?

Do you know what happens when you explain homosexuality to kids? They go, “oh. Ok.”

We really have to stop mollycoddling the worst people.

These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

The Central Lie of Prediction Markets Polymarket and Kalshi promise the wisdom of the crowds. They deliver something very different.

Wrote about the central lie of prediction markets. How they are the perfect technology for a low-trust society, simultaneously exploiting and reifying an environment in which believing the motives behind any person or action becomes harder. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

I woke up punchy. I’m so sick of these motherfuckers and their bombs and their rapes and their violence.

We could be happy. We could have nice things like healthcare and childcare and UBI. It actually wouldn’t be that hard.

We still can impeach him. It’s not too late for a couple of Republicans to decide that he’s lost his shit and is a danger to all of us. It’s not too late for the GOP to do the right thing.

Almost there…

A phrase guaranteed to make me laugh is "As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain"

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

The Quaid Army is the army everyone should be enlisting in nowadays.
