He/him. 32. I do the best imitation of myself.

Legal Eagle asking "are you covered to have an open flame in the studio?" and a producer worriedly yelling "we're not!" as Ally goes to light a bong they filled with real whiskey is maybe the hardest I have ever laughed at an episode of Game Changer.

Coming up with an entire narrative just because you’re illiterate I guess

[josephbrassey]

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

Somebody please save me from the level of editing in Kindle books written by real people and published by real publishers

[genzchaos]

Yes, because Disco Elysium's portrayal of cops was famously positive

Here's what I've realized from the Artemis II mission:

You cannot study STEM without the arts, and you cannot study humanities without the sciences. In that tiny capsule we sent to the moon, we sent physicists who are also photographers. We sent poets who are pilots.

We sent experts on exact scientific maneuvers who also express precise emotion and experience that will be quoted for decades. They play with a stuffed moon in the background of a broadcast and have Chappell Roan as their wakeup music. They drove around the far side of the moon.

We sent parents, partners...We sent humans, who are unabashedly showing their humanity and brilliance and vulnerability. They are smart and kind and generous and ambitious and silly and thoughtful and so damn good at what they do. And they want to share it all with us.

the scary thing about bara is (taps my pipe on the boats banister and gets a far off expression) there’s always a bigger guy… you think you’ve seen the big one in the image and then… (looks out over the sea and goes silent)

[chelmnik]

crazy how clint eastwood by gorillaz is like, certainly amongst the top 100 songs of the noughties considering it is, on paper, a song by a fake cartoon band where del tha funkee homosapien raps about how he’s a ghost possessing the band’s fake cartoon drummer over a beat which is literally a yamaha keyboard’s dub preset

in 2015 we didn’t have AI psychosis so people had to make do by believing a dress was white and gold

[zwaldowski]

It wasn’t psychosis! Have a whole podcast episode about a whole book about it. There’s much more to it than just calling people names!

Any relationship between the human perception of color and objective reality is… essentially accidental! It’s entirely dependent on context, conditioning, and the surrounding light.
