I love how NBC came back from break with crabs in a bucket and the next play is Lamar just dropping the ball, poetry in motion

The magic of a thought racing across your head and going "I have to write about this" is uniquely human. That moment where the light bulb goes on is not something certainly this version of AI could ever understand.
Sorry, AI, my writing process does not start with me giving a machine a prompt. It begins with me staring off into space and daydreaming, and that's the way it's going to stay.

I have come to truly loathe Mr. Brightside in the same way I loathe Sweet Caroline. I don't think I'll ever find a way to loathe Seven Nation Army even if the song is played out. Is my opinion indicative of broader trends? Probably not! But if I had to get rid of one, I'd zap Mr. Brightside quick.
Americans, instead of arguing about politics this Thanksgiving, find some Millennials and argue which one has more cultural weight: Mr. Brightside or Seven Nation Army?

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Everything I know about this entire saga is against my will and yet continues to make me irrationally angry anyway.
Listen there are a lot less media jobs than there used to be. And if what Nuzzi did doesn’t fill you with blinding incandescent rage you should probably get out in favor of somebody who is appropriately appalled.
