an image shows a rene magritte painting of two large apples on the ground with a cloudy blue sky background, the apples have each on a blue face mask and a red face mask like the teenage mutant ninja turtles

It’s incredible - different times, mediums and markets.

The size of publishing runs fascinates me - the U.S alternative comix boom in the late 60s seems to have manifested in runs of literal dozens to low tens of thousands and released as often as dopehead hippies could get it together, but release a book that does figures like that now? Gone!

Twice this week random strangers on the street have just given me marijuana and I’m quite alarmed at this apparently citywide commitment to getting me to calm down

If you’re able to log off for even a few hours I promise you’ll find things offline haven’t changed all that much. We still have playgrounds.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

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

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

Not beating the geriatric millennial allegations here, but if you want to feel totally fine for 22 minutes, the new Scrubs shockingly accomplishes that. Feels like reading a well written email from an old friend who hasn't changed a bit.

I’m sick today so spent part of the day taking an old anime and making it rude.

I might make it public. Nice to make a silly thing

You can’t trust what you see in the mirror.
I mean, look at how badly it cocks up text.

Reading the news. Listening to music.

Blondie’s β€œAtomic” comes on.

Not now, Blondie.

If I and my cronies had all been discovered in correspondence with the most famous sex trafficker in the world, and more and more evidence kept leaking out, I suppose I too would start a bloody foreign war

Do you think when healthcare started referring to thrush discharge as β€œcottage cheese like” the cottage cheese industry were like β€œaww come on man”

Why do no street preachers have good mic technique or equipment? There’s a guy outside King’s Cross right now who sounds like a punk band straining at stool

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life β€” years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable β€” rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

I can’t deal with people who use phrases like β€œsexual economy”. Are you buying shares in an orgasm? Has a disrupter manufactured a smaller, more efficient penis?

Former UK PM Gordon Brown is providing - voluntarily and not for the first time - information to the police about abuses of power relating to the Epstein files. As PM Brown was briefed against by people such as Alistair Campbell and Peter Mandelson as being β€˜psychologically flawed’ ….1/

I have people in my mentions saying I should not talk about holding Elon Musk accountable for his crimes against the US unless I can detail the mechanisms and processes for how that could be accomplished. Probably the worst politics possible.
