One of the things that was claimed in the Sascha Riley tapes was that, when Riley was sexually assaulted by trump as a child, he kicked something (I think he said a broomstick or something) way up Trump’s ass, causing him to be airlifted off Epstein Island. This is completely unverified, of course, but it makes amazing head canon as an explanation for his incontinence. It’s also a great villain origin story.

A gentle creaking, like a thick branch in the wind.

Ay ay ay ay ay!

I finally read that last year. What a wild read, worth the intimidating length.

I love the way the long, ultra-wide shots of empty landscape give you the sense of isolation, the notion that if that guy looking for that lost gold feels like he needs to shoot you dead in your own home, he probably can get away with it. Who’s coming to save you or seek your justice? There’s no one around for miles. There’s a mule outside grinding flour you could beckon, maybe.

These are all valid reasons. I’ll also add that I personally desire manual control over my computing experience. A huge part of the reason I run Linux is that it does exactly what I tell it to and nothing more. When you start introducing other agents to my user agent, it ceases to be a user agent. Something else is arranging my tabs. Something is popping info up into in my face that I didn’t ask to see (and which might be incorrect). I just want these things to go away so my browser can be my browser again and not be under the control of a random word guesser.

Yes, I have turned these features off, but I don’t even want them installed. They’ve been force-installed onto my system through software that didn’t used to do that. If I lose my config, I have to go turn it all back off again. I’d rather just not have the feature anywhere in the software. I’d rather Firefox just not smuggle AI features onto my PC at all.

So many of their songs are about abandoning romantic partners. Kinda gross.

Haha I talked to my kids about burning CDs in the way of talking about old tech they’ve never encountered. They wanted a CD burner after that to try it out, so I found an external USB burner and a cheapo little boom box. They ended up downloading songs from our media server and some stuff from NewGrounds and burning a bunch of mix CDs. It was fun!

This is the crazy thing. This is some kind of invocation of Poe’s Law around Hanlon’s Razor. I want to believe this is someone on the inside resisting, but we’ve already seen so many examples of this administration’s gross incompetence that I don’t feel certain of that. It’s this real incompetence? Or resistance as a parody of that incompetence?

I stumbled upon this Unplugged album a little while a bank, and it is remarkably good. I was hooked from the opener, a version of Blind with Latin percussion stylings. The Amy Lee and Robert Smith cameos are great. This is one of the most creative musical adaptations I’ve come across. I would actually recommend this set to people who don’t like Korn.

The scene in question is the opening scene of the film. It is fully explained pretty early in the second act. Definitely intended to be the “mysterious” option in this case.

Also, where does the straw go? It just stops at the entrance.

He called the shit poop!

I was self diagnosed, but it’s good to have professional confirmation.

If you’re hanging out in a Linux community, then nobody is forcing that ideology on you. If you walk into a church, Christians aren’t forcing their ideology on you. Call me when Linux advocates take over a government and release a national security directive identifying Windows users as enemies of the state.

She will definitely be in the primary, assuming there is one (I just doubt that establishment Dems would dare keep her out), but my hope is that she will get squashed pretty quickly.

“I’ve seen them come, I’ve seen them go.” And you said, “All things pass into the night.”

I don’t really pay attention to pop news, but I seen to remember she shaved it off in some kind of episode. Which is understandable considering what she and other child stars are made to go through. To your point, part of that is how mean the media is to them, even in its reactions to the mental breakdowns they cause.

I miss Don Bluth.
