I keep thinking about what it does to us to have to be on such high alert for scams and fakes, especially in the creative world. It ain’t good.

The forecast in Boston basically calls for snow every down between tomorrow and next Thursday.

You know that part of the song where Mary J. Blige bellows “I’m going DOWWWWWN, I’m going DOWNNNNNN”??? Yeah, that’s where I’m at this winter.

Tetanus is one I'll never mess with. Every ten years, I am back on that train! That rusty, rusty train.

Such a perfect illustration of how terrible Gavin Newsom is that while he is saying this dumb shit there’s a big neon sign shouting GAVIN NEWSOM

Good Morning! Labi Siffre just put out a heart rendering new song. You're welcome, but sorry to anyone who ends up crying into their breakfast.

What’s even sadder is that for some of them, they may even understand and not care! The literal second of attention they get from the block is thrilling. That is one small life if you need to act deliberately shitty to get flashes of feeling.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Art, by definition, cannot be apolotical. Being bland? Is not apolitical. Being middle-of-the-road? Sure the fuck not apolitical. At this point, let's retire the damn word already.

“And they look like assholes.”

THIS IS THE JOY OF ALT TEXT, THANK YOU.

Not a pal just a fan (wait, I'm being pedantic, I'm sorry!)

Mostly swinging wildly between angry doomscrolling that raises my blood pressure and a desire for a three-hour nap under my weighted blanket. Still getting work done because needs must. Grateful for my partner and friends and community.

TWoP shaped my pop-culture self in ways that I will never be able to express. The Dawson recaps were so funny, I had to cover my mouth while reading them at the library lest I disturb the studyers.

That man left a big ol' legacy and I'm sad he only got 48 years. But damn, they were put to good use.

I need ONE person who talks about AI with any kind of positivity to explain how that justifies what it's doing to towns where data centers dump sludge in the water. And how this largely happens in Black communities and not where the rich AI assholes live.

AI is theft. AI is trash. Fuck AI.

I keep shouting about how this is the Love Canal disaster all over again but on steroids. Environmental racism is a scourge.

AI is built on stolen labor and powered by data centers that are and will be placed in Black communities to poison us. It's really clear.

Wow who could have ever foreseen a white woman using tears to manipulate power! I, for one, am stunned.

(Yes it’s good character detail.)

His performance in Don't Trust the B made me say, "Damn, this dude is GOOD," so many times.

2026 can stop already.

I don’t really pay attention to charges of doomerism. I don’t know what it means offline.

I do know that refusing a version of how the future will unfold forecloses on the power that actually shapes that future. That’s not disavowing that tech changes are happening but they are in now a given.

Not even a little cringe. My sis works in public health and I wanna shout her awesomeness to the rooftop.

Keep being awesome ❤️

Am I an old talking nonsense or do they release trailers WAY too early now? I get sad when I watch a fantastic preview and then see that the premiere date is in six months.

Saw "Send Help" and I wish I had a group of people to discuss it with because it inspired so many thoughts.

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

It is super weird whenever someone sets up a new Substack and I can't say I have regrets about ditching the platform at all

This is Love Canal all over again. Environmental racism is a scourge and the only correct response is fuck AI.

'This state ... is not playing': Epstein 'truth commission' heads to House floor Lawmakers advanced a resolution for a truth commission into Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes in New Mexico to the House floor.

Headlines like this make me proud as hell to be New Mexican. The Epstein 'truth commission' would investigate crimes committed on Epstein’s NM ranch, exposing perpetrators and accomplices whose names have been redacted.
