TikTok finally turned the ad dial up enough to sour me on the entire app. So, like, Instagram before it, off it goes into the folder of apps I don’t use anymore.

I’ve always hated advertising, but the older I get the more I just have no patience for it.

Anyone who says “this is good for him actually” has pundit brain rot. In no world does being a convicted felon help you win undecided voters. Go talk to an actual person.

Also, anyone saying that being found guilty of fraud 34 times is good for him should immediately be asked how being found not guilty would have been bad for him.

I keep hearing people say AI generated text "will get better” as if that’s a known, accepted fact.

But it's not a known, accepted fact. Massive language model AI text generators have been around for YEARS, and they've always been this bad, this prone to lying, this full of shit. We’re just getting it shoved in our faces now.

“It will get better” is a bet, not a statement of fact, and I bet against it.

My fellow super-serious friends: give yourselves the gift of enjoying this moment. Just fucking enjoy it. We can all go back to fretting about the future tomorrow. Enjoy this one motherfucking moment. Please.

Imagine for a moment what the news would sound like if the Democratic nominee for president was a convicted rapist and guilty of 34 cases of fraud.

Now pay attention to how the news discusses Trump in the coming days and ask yourself why it’s different.

I think my favorite part is watching all of the “realists” and savvy motherfuckers who confidently predicted that nothing would happen to him eat their motherfucking words.

Cynicism may be easy, but it’s not always right.

This is such a fascinating video and exemplifies a point I've been making for a long time: doing a thing ironically is still Doing The Thing. There's a pipeline from doing it for the joke to just fucking doing it, and the first story in the video is a perfect example.

Pretty cold, wet spring so far. Projected to still be in the low 40s overnight even 10 days from now in early June. I’m looking at hundreds of hemp starts in the garage that need lows above 50 to be planted out and wondering when I’m going to be able to do that.

I was part of the first generation to take to the web and fill it with my hopes and dreams, my stories and music, seeking connection and building community.

Watching assholes like Sam Altman treat all that collected humanity as a strip mine makes me indescribably sad.

It also makes me want to punch him in his smug fucking face.

Why do all these rich assholes sound the same? "I see here a thing on the internet that is kind of working. I WILL REMAKE THE ENTIRE INTERNET IN IT! AND IT WILL WORK BECAUSE I AM RICH!"

Some people fight for what they believe in, others just believe in fighting, and on the internet they can be hard to tell apart.
