Mainly electronic rock, but hopefully varied enough to suit many tastes

An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants To everyone at Grammarly, I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published. I’ve been a profes...

We need to mercilessly, brutally, viciously cull every single person in tech who does not understand what "garbage in, garbage out" means.

They simply can't coexist with human society. They need to go fuck off into the deep forest.

β€œStress is bad for your health.” What the fuck is this bullshit? It’s not enough that bad things happen; having an appropriate emotional reaction to them is ALSO bad for you? Life on Earth is a fucking scam.

This is one of the things I didn't understand about the '08 financial crisis. If it's all just speculative bullshit, tell the money people things are good. Lie to them and the concept of money appears, somehow, in defiance of the law of conservation of mass.

I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

The idea of hearing a 19 year-old say "Moby Dick is OP" fills me with rage

There are a hundred reasons I'm glad I'm not in college anymore. 1-75 are covid. The rest are AI. But reason 101 is not having to hear a kid with gamer-brain ask what the Montague and Capulet's "power levels" are, or what their "lore" is

I maintain that simply arresting Elon musk and making a real example of him is the quickest way to global stability

tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety.
venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars.

child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me.
mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed.
mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

In honour of Long Covid Awareness Month, here are 2 asks for fellow Blueskyers

1. Wear an N95 in public to reduce transmission & in solidarity with the millions living with Long Covid

2. Please stand up to large accounts that minimize this illness & who dunk on disabled folks

As some one slightly starving to death from this condition, what I’d like you to be Aware of is that when you go into public spaces without a mask, you risk getting or giving Long Covid, for which there is no treatment and no cure, and that’s a dumb risk and you should stop.

I know it's human nature to believe things were better in your youth, but I turned 30 in 2016 and the world has validated my nostalgia with every passing year

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.

This is weak, even for you. This is embarrassing. You're consistently failing to meet the moment, just fucking retire and hope that anyone with a semblance of honor and competency can take your place.

Anyway, be a wrench. Do every little thing you can to tamper with the plans of fascists. Be a NIMBY bitch about data centers. Stop using ChatGPT. Refuse service to ICE agents.

I got a full night's sleep, woke up early, ate a healthy breakfast, and even exercised. Then the world said, "Oh, fuck you for even trying."

After six years of isolation, sometimes my subconscious gives me a dream of something nice that I can’t have in waking life: actually hanging out with friends; the feel of a lover’s touch; a third season of Andor
