Somehow, after the first Terrifier was at best fine and at worst politically gross, this movie rules. Gone is the gender stupidity, in is the whimsy, the dreams, the characters you care about. In … Read more

New proposal for a Turing test to detect tech bros: have a text only conversation for five minutes. If mentions of being in a simulation > 0, tech bro detected.

Tipping Point is a great limited run podcast exploring the global sustainability society plan from the 1970s that was ignored.
Immature reminder of the day: not only was Dick Butkus a famous person, his last name was pronounced “butt kiss”. 🫡
Another old gold hour shot. I don’t remember where this was taken.
