@tronknotts.bsky.social would punching walls/slamming doors/smashing plates be considered displacement (the neurotic defence mechanism)?

I think Drake is the first person in the history of the art form to have lost a rap battle so badly that it's legally binding.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Had a dream a while back in which I discovered the existence of the "Grave of the Fireflies/Super Mario World 2-in-1" for the Wii. It basically functioned as a DVD except for a "special features" section that literally only had an SNES emulator playing Mario World. It went for absurd prices on eBay

The cover for a fake Wii game consisting of both the 1988 Studio Ghibli film, Grave of the Fireflies, and Super Mario World; both are represented on the cover, the former by the poster of Seita carrying his sister Setsuko across a field and the latter by the artwork of Mario wearing a cape and riding Yoshi. The cover promises "TWO classics in ONE!".

"Protests Are Highly Effective, Met Police Confirm"

Itsalladeepend @itsalladeepend.bsky.social · 12d

This article is absolutely bananas - 'There aren’t enough of us. Hard-working police officers are continually having days off cancelled, working longer shifts and being moved from other areas to facilitate these protests.' - Paula Dodds, chair of the Metropolitan Police Federation.

‘Enough is enough’ says chief of police federation over Palestine Action rally

Met Police said many of those arrested needed carrying away after they refused to walk from Trafalgar Square – but Amnesty International says arresting hundreds of people at the demonstration is ‘not ...

There’s was a Bollywood song I found on YouTube in around 2009 I’ve been trying to find again. Think it was called dinga dinga dong?

It’s not ding dong o baby or ringa dinga dong. Having no luck. Guess it’s gone from YouTube?

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

A scandalous little sneak peek at FESH PINCE 4! I don't have an ETA yet, but I've got a lot done, and I'm still working on it regularly. It'll be a long nideo - definitely longer than the last installment.

That one scene in Space Jam where the basketball players all lose their powers is the closest thing you have to explaining depression as a kid.
