Uncle Albert's Return

does BlueSky have a zoomer Beatles fan contingent too or is that just a quirk of Twitter

formatting bibliographies while listening to Double Fantasy is as close as I get to Zen

When I was growing up, American conservatives were the "don't tread on me" party. Don't take my guns, don't tell me what to do, get out of my life. I'm not sure that even Donald Trump's renowned charisma is enough to explain the sudden shift to "comply or be summarily executed"

You'd think the 20th century would have taught us to avoid concentrating power in one person's hands

Let's do this. BEATLES ALBUMS RANKED

God Only Knows is secretly a 9.9 rather than a 10 because Mike Love's braying ba ba bas are annoying

Yeah if even the smarter students are doing it then we're truly fucked. Schools apparently can't stop it or just won't take the necessary steps. US politicians are completely ignoring AI because they are too busy starting fights with allies. The youth are not prepared for the world to come.

In the past week alone I've edited two essays by 16-year-olds and one PhD thesis on cybersecurity that were clearly 100% written by AI. I do not look forward to living under governments and a private sector that are functionally illiterate

Supposing the university system does survive another generation, how could it withstand the ascendence of Gen Z and Alpha, whose cognitive capabilities, by all accounts, extend as far as their last ChatGPT prompt?

Gotta be the most underappreciated Beatles album

Just noticing the Beatles interpolation in Frank Ocean's Blonde ("White Ferrari"). Music is so rad

bluesky has lots of annoying people but twitter has lots of genuinely evil people

Finding myself forced to apply for jobs for the first time since the early pandemic (April 2020). Academic editing and writing work is being eliminated by the machines. If anyone has any tips or tricks or JOBS for 2026, let me know

The write-up for #1 is really great. I'm waiting for it to happen to me too

Yellow Submarine (1968) : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive movie

Merry Christmas, everyone! Drink some eggnog (or peyote) and watch this with your kids archive.org/details/yell...

it seems like K-pop is just American pop but...Korean. is there some artistic advance there that I'm not seeing

finally carried out my months-long plan to eat mushrooms and watch Kpop Demon Hunters. kind of anticlimactic tbh

The reigning presidential administration seeking an emergency order from the national supreme court to block funding for a food assistance program. Great country, good people

Donate to Help me fix my car and afford food, organized by Justin Keever I just moved across the country to a major city for a job that pays 40,000 a year. Th… Justin Keever needs your support for Help me fix my car and afford food

This is not a good look, but: I am out of money and my car has broken down for the third time in a month. I have just moved across the country. I need a little help to make it through September: gofund.me/47e4a1856

Deleuze/Guattari have the best/worst

Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) II "Monk, do not forget to pray, lest God's end be uncomely."

New at the WERNER HERZBLOG: a second post about AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD, about the ephemeral nature of freelancing, about your work disappearing, and about staking my claim on the phrase "Cinema of Punishment" much like Warren Beatty sitting on the Dick Tracy rights

"hard to read" is ridiculous. anything longer than a tweet and people act like it's Ulysses. anyway, another great piece!

what program is this

Thanks, no, that's great! Got my own private review haha. I like his caricatures of Western archetypes/stereotypes, as in Okja. Portraying Americans as broadly as we have historically depicted other cultures. Great production design and sympathy for critters.

What did you think of Mickey 17?
