If I think highly of you, and then I find out that you use generative AI, or if you disseminate generative AI junk online, I will think less of you.
On the other hand, I'm grateful that I know so many people who hate it as much as I do.

About once a year I remember Captain Bogg & Salty and the Portland Pirate Festival and dang, y’all, take me back to those times when I was just a geeky eighteen-year-old rocking out with a crowd of Portlanders dressed like pirates.

Today is Jim Henson's birthday. When I think of him and his work, the word that comes to mind is "joy." It's a word I've been centering a lot lately. Not because the state of things is in a good place but because it isn't. And the best way to overcome the problems is by moving forward with love.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

This year I've had periods of hyper fixation where I've binged nothing except "All You Wanna Do" from Six, "Dear Bill" from Operation Mincemeat, & the entirety of the new Next To Normal cast album. Spotify is gonna have a field day telling me that 2025 was my "Girl-Are-You-Okay?" Showtune Era.

A month or so ago I saw a post by someone saying "we should all admit that Neil Gaiman has always been a shitty writer." That whole knee jerk revisionism. No, man, that's part of the whole horror. He's an internationally recognized writer. Objectively a good writer. But he's also a fucking monster.

i think it’s unfair to expect regular people to know precisely how journalism works so i will say the answer to “why did they sit on that story for so long” is often “because of lawyers”

I think The Santa Clause would be a grade A Christmas movie if it weren’t for the fact that (excluding Toy Story) Tim Allen only knows how to play himself and that’s pretty rough

Imagine having an old man chuck a wreath at you on the street, THEN less than 24 hours later he starts screaming at you about spirits, THEN makes you carry around a dead bird that’s bigger than you as he walks around the town singing.
