remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination

Double blind taste test gone wrong.

Naughty cat! It’s curtains for you.

RIP Country Joe McDonald, who died yesterday at 84.

Here he is in 1969 at the original Woodstock, singing the Vietnam Song aka “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag.”

Absolutely NO relevance to today’s situation. NONE.

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!

This is brilliant!!! Blow it up, BSKY!

This is what peak male performance looks like

I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

Stand-in as head of food table.

Alternate form of White supremecy?

I am so sorry to read about the passing of Corey Parker, who will be remembered by folks my age as Melissa's hot, sweet boyfriend Lee on thirtysomething. Corey worked on Biloxi Blues with Mike Nichols and later became an acting teacher and coach. He was a serious, thoughtful, reflective man. >

Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, "What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is."

And my stove is left blinking and screaming, "IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!"

Country Joe McDonald was great, but his anti-war songs are pertinent only if you happened to be around back in 2026. Rest In Peace.

Dead end.

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

Your job is to pick the worst actor to play James Bond.

Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw.
Quite overrated as a classic horror novella.
Didn’t care much for the governess’s unstable unreliable narrator, and the promising supernatural aspects gets frittered away. The exalted status it enjoys grates at me.

Whatcha expect from a Card Shar-pei?

Difficult getting out from under dogpile.

Image showing the Wendy's and Burger King CEOs on either side of the McDonald's CEO making fun of how the latter can't even fake bite a burger correctly. I mean seriously dude, it's a burger. You didn't have to film or put this on the internet. Now look what you did. I know too goddamn much about a bunch of CEOs now and all I saw was their faces. And I want a burger.

So, there's a move called Demolition Man where sometime before 2032 there were "Fast Food Wars" that culminated in Taco Bell winning and becoming the only restaurant around.

Why am I mentioning this? No reason.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere
