To be fair to the rest of the show, following up Martindale's performance is a lot to ask.
To be honest about a show I (mostly) really liked, they didn't try that hard.
Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

Ok, while using Tidal for the first time, it immediately introduced me to several new groups and songs I like very much, so. I'm in.
After finding out a little about where they planned to go with the show, I've thought for years that the best thing that happened to it was only getting one season and a movie.
It's ok to let things go. (Especially when the showrunner and a cast member are awful.)

I had a bad feeling as I got ready to make a vegan cake and checked to see if sprinkles are vegan and...they are not.
Turns out there's a lot of bugs in sprinkles.
After tracking down and using vegan sprinkles for the recipe, I'm pretty sure it's the bugs that make regular sprinkles good.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
I sort of ended up on Spotify after Stitcher went away, and I'm glad I finally looked into a new podcatcher.
I've barely started using Tidal, but I like it so far. No AI, and of the music streaming services, it pays artists the best (that I've heard, still too little), and I dig that.
It took an embarrassingly long time, but I finally dumped Spotify. Feels good.
I moved over to Tidal on the recommendation of a friend and Podcast Addict thanks to a thread on Reddit.
A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty
Important to keep in mind that a guy like Mullin can be barely competent enough to tie his own shoes but still absolutely full of ugly malice.
If anyone has any emergency fund or mutual aid links or efforts for anyone trying to survive or leave Florida because of this, please let me know so I can boost it.
A grey tuxedo cat curled up on his favorite folded blanket, back to the camera, shooting a disapproving look over his shoulder.
I was scrolling and came across a video that said playing it would make my cats come to me, and neither did, but Laszlo did give me this look.

Frida Kahlo is a famous disabled artist. Her art explores her disability. When she had the accident that disabled her, she painted from her bed in her casts. Many artists in history have been disabled. Many are now. You will not find them fighting to have AI take their creative process from them.
The Republican Party’s treasonous war of racial purity waged against the civilian population of the United States continues.
This is torture.
This violence and its falsely touted "success" will be used to try to over turn "Conversion therapy" bans legislated in states.
“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me
A grey cat curled up in the middle of a folded fuzzy pastel rainbow blanket, sleeping the sleep of a boy who ended yet another trip to the vet, then played so hard with a new toy he almost destroyed it.
Celebratory nap.
I don't fold this blanket to be tidy. It's Laszlo's favorite nap spot if it's folded.
Laszlo has been in and out of the vet's so much in the last few months, and today was (please please please) the last time until June, so I got him a new toy to celebrate, and he played with it so hard that he's now out cold.
I wish he could understand tomorrow's pill is the last one.
I hate trying to find information about health conditions these days. According to this guy, I should immediately cut the following out of my diet: gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, iodized salt, caffeine, all processed foods, seed oils, and my favorite, some vegetables (not specified).
A fascinatingly widespread belief is that “the city” is some kind of passing fad and not, you know, one of the oldest ways of settled living.
My weirdest creation is almost old enough to drink.
These are just the ones bad enough that someone thought a child might die. This doesn't capture all the ordinary illnesses and misery, or even the measles cases.
Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright
This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.
