…at something finally.
“Well, the Biden Administration didn’t….”
Yeah. They didn’t. They should have. Here’s your chance to be better than them. ⏲️🤷
Kid Rock is basically himself from that episode of King of the Hill about competitive eating, but for the Republican Party.
I haven’t heard anyone say the phrase “drinking glass” in a while.
The guy from Train really looks like he’d sound like that.
The dull crunch of his chewing and the question of what he eats aside from his own regrowing finger teeth keeps me up at night.
Hopping on the 2026 goals train!
1. Exercize every day
2. Get a good photo of the white squirrel that lives on my street
3. Get the guy with sunken holes for eyes and fingers for teeth and a voice like loud radio static who lives under my bed to maybe move into the attic
4. Be more considerate
Which kind of makes sci-fi aliens even cooler, in a way, because they’ll never be shown to be stupidly wrong when we discover the real thing.
They’re as close as we’ll ever get. 🔭

So even if we assume that interstellar travel is achievable and will happen before we nuke ourselves into oblivion, encountering another species anywhere near our own intelligence is astronomically unlikely.
7/?
And in the nearly impossible circumstance that all of these coincidences coincide to produce highly intelligent life, it would usually be self-terminating meaning that intelligence would only exist for a relatively short time, unlikely to coincide with us.
6/?
So, on a cosmic scale, life is already an extreme rarity. That life having a mechanism for adapting over time, much rarer still. That mechanism favoring extreme intelligence over brute force, durability, or prolificacy, eeeeeeven rarer.
5/?
Human intelligence has produced an unnecessary combination of all three of these things and it’s made us a destructive force that will probably end up all but erasing the entire ecosystem, including ourselves.

1. Dumb powerful murder machines.
2. Dumb things that are so tough or evasive that the murder machines have a hard time murdering them.
3. Dumb things that are so prolific that most of them can be murdered and still have enough left to increase their population.

Life on other planets? Sure. That could happen on rare occasions.
But in whatever ecosystems may exist out there, assuming they have some complex mechanism to evolve at all, it seems like they’d overwhelmingly produce three classes of beings:
2/?
So, of all the millions of species on the planet, humans are the only one that evolved anywhere near the level of intelligence to do shit like physics calculations.
Sharks, crocodiles, horseshoe crabs… they’re all basically final products of evolution and they’re dumb as fuck.

Somehow, somewhen, i just know that, at some point in history, there was someone on a Peter Gabriel fan message board with the username “Sledgehog”.
You wake up in the middle of an empty floor at a large concert venue. The stage is full of musicians. Stevie Nicks on one side, Survivor is on the other.
The silence breaks. A guitar. “Dunandudu Dunandudu…”
Is it Eye of the Tiger or Edge of Seventeen??
The pattern repeats endlessly.
Ketchup on mac-n-cheese is just rearranged pizza. #facts
He’s checking on his grumbly buddy!
“I’m gonna go take a shower.”
“Cool. I’m gonna kill Daredevil.”
Mundane conversations in a supervillain household.
In any vampire romance story, watch every scene as if the 400 year old vampire dating the 18 year old girl had been turned when they were 65.
Greg Stoker aboard the veterans boat of the Global Sumud Flotilla gives updates about the current illegal interdiction of the attempt to break the humanitarian siege on Gaza by bringing baby formula, food, & medical supplies, & establish an aid corridor for the same
Hey maybe the IDF could stop killing journalists in Gaza so there could be more actual coverage? Or do you think maybe they don’t want people to know what’s actually going on there? 🤷
Except they’re not headed to Israel. They’re headed to Palestine.

They were released 2.5 years apart and both enjoyed lengthy tenures atop the Billboard Top 100.
Between these two releases, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs released their biggest hit ‘Maps’, which contains no “Yeah”s at all.
Really makes you think, yeah?
For those wondering, in the “yeah”s and “no”s in Nickelback’s ‘How You Remind Me’, there are 26 “yeah”s and 14 “no”s for a net of 12 “yeah”s.
As if that weren’t enough, in Usher’s ‘Yeah’, there are 79 “yeah”s. 81 if you count quoting themselves saying “yeah”.

Remember when chat apps used to tell you when someone was typing?
Just terrible.
It’s me. I, specifically, am a simulation.
