the newest Geese album has a Magnetic Fields type sweet romantic innocence to it, not what i expected. i'm a sucker for that stuff.
I've got half a mind
To just pay for the lobotomy

And get rid of the good times too
I've got no more thinking to do

based on the long-running observation that, these days, the dumbest and worst outcomes are the most likely, i hereby register my prediction that AI is somehow _not_ a bubble and in fact will continue to grow and make everything worse forever

The Big Ship by Brian Eno is ready to become the big TikTok sound of 2026. Everyone's going to be saying, looks like Gen-Z finally discovered Brian Eno. They're going to love it and they're going to love Before Sunrise.

i remember getting yelled at on the portland subreddit for saying an internment camps for homeless people was a bad idea. blue state voters have been frothing at the mouth for exactly this policy for years
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

this joke was unappreciated in its time. decades after my death it will be rediscovered and elevated to its deserved position among the stars

i watched night moves and i thought it sucked and it was bad

i'm just casually wondering if there's a sickness in our hearts that we ignored as it festered and metastasized. if we spent decades or centuries as convenient bedfellows of pointless cruelty and violence and the darkness grew in from the corners of our eyes until it covered them

I believe what many people actually want in their heart of hearts is for the "right" thing to happen without requiring anybody to wield power. But it turns out there is no magic. It's just us.

releasing your movie on netflix is a good way to make sure it withers into obscurity and irrelevance. i didn't even know they released a chicken run sequel in 2023 until i specifically went to check if such a thing existed
