Whenever someone asks me why I hate AI, I ask them to think of the worst cover band they can imagine. That's AI.

Yeah, the song being played might have all the same chords as "Uptown Funk" but none of the juice is there. It just sounds like "Uptown Fart."

I'm not sure exactly when it happened but #advertising culture has gone completely sideways since the pandemic. Pre-COVID, a lot of meetings equaled 50% of your time. Now, it's not uncommon to be booked from 9-5 with zero time to do any real work. We're all just white-knuckling it until we sign off.

My big conspiracy theory is that pickleball isn't real and that no one actually plays it. It was invented by Big Pickleball, who pushes stories about the "most popular sport in America" but literally no one plays it? I see courts everywhere but have never seen players.

Pickleball isn't real.

It should be illegal for record labels to reorder a record with a rerelease. Looking at you, Matador re: Mission of Burma's "Signals, Calls, and Marches" EP.

Imagine being Tireman. A being with a permanent smile upon their visage without the ability to speak.

Absolute horrifying.

The Democrats are the.most ineffectual, spineless group of politicians on earth. They'd negotiate away their own right arms if it meant a perceived moral victory.
