Voting is like having a log of shit in each hand and deciding which one will taste better.

Not-voting is having to eat the shit someone else chose.

Isaiah 44:9-20

All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame.

(I’m not even religious, LOL.)

I really like my water pillow.

Well, the UX Design Team has to justify their existence somehow. And if there’s one thing they’re good at, it’s wowing management with snazzy presentations.

Making a snazzy presentation about the necessary overhaul of the data structure of the ingest system architecture is also just generally harder then just showing a flashy, colorful click dummy of the new homepage.

I had the distinct impression she rewrote her own dialogue at least.

Well, technically stones are dead, so that cat is just lazy.

Short Round instead of Waller-Bridges’ role world have made the movie a lot more organic than “daughter of the best friend Indy has never mentioned”.

Which is exactly the same plan as last time. Then, the ultra-rich were afraid of communism so they propped up nationalism. Now though, they are after democracy as such.

They use the same communicative signals with us as with their young. To cats, we are overgrown, clumsy kittens that never learn to hunt but know a mysterious way to get food.

Even worse, only to appease shareholders that are only after short term gains and might even bet on the company failing.

WarnerBrosDiscovery is in massive debt (40 billion) to AT&T, which is itself in even more debt (138 billion). They are trying to make as much money liquid as quickly as they can to pay off the debt, long term profitability be damned. I wouldn’t be surprised if WBD is bought by an ever bigger player in a few years (Apple, Sony, Disney or Microsoft).

The problem I have with the concept of a conscious soul that survives my death is the question what version of me survives. If it’s the version I was when I died, the younger versions of me still stay dead. If it’s an ideal younger version of me, the older version still died. In fact, the soul would always only be a part of me since it lacks the biochemical processes of the body. So it would be another entity possessing my memories but it wouldn’t be me, I’d still be dead.

Only a question of time. Ads are already digitally inserted into movies and shows.

Telekinesis. I just lift a cushion I’m sitting on and I also have flight.

A lot of people are having a hard time right now. Try to be the change you want to see and react kindly and rationally would be my advice.

Before Musk, Twitter claimed that they couldn’t effectively censor Nazi stuff because it was too similar to what Republicans post, so… yeah.

He was considerate enough to ask the co-worker if she was well and asked for explicit content before engaging in sexual activities with her. Looks fine to me.

Yep, it’s a vicious circle. We are seeing the streaming services literally eating themselves for (very) short term profit.

Conan O’Brien. He’s just effortlessly funny, especially when he’s just riffing with Sona and Matt on “Conan O’Brien needs a friend”.
