@theotherbrook ...and when that day comes, you'll finally know what it means to be a human being...

:blobthinksmart:

It's important to realize that not everything we can imagine is true - and that can be surprisingly tricky when an explanation makes SO MUCH SENSE - but it's also complicated by the fact that sometimes things we imagine ARE true.

I rediscovered this song recently, and I came up with an interesting approach to it, I think. I don't do a lot of blues anymore but I really liked this one. It'll be interesting to see how it develops as time goes on. #Coversongs #music https://youtu.be/Bopdpp2z4m8

A lot of people forget, or are simply not taught by their parents or health care providers, that they can listen to Parliament/Funkadelic and instantly feel better. Immediate effect. Results do not vary.

Scientists are puzzled by the presence of “little red dots” found by the JW Space Telescope: tiny galaxies that have left no trace. “Why did they vanish? Or what did they morph into? Their sudden disappearance is a profound enigma.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/jwsts-little-red-dots-offer-astronomers-the-universes-weirdest-puzzle/

@sennoma @kottke don't be too worried, the next generation of telescopes will render it in higher resolution and we'll discover that we've just looked all the way through the universe and what we're seeing is the cosmic version of the back of our heads. :blobcheeky:

@thisemailfindsyou boy howdy...

Right?!

@theotherbrook I'd say that qualifies.

Like... Juggalos?
Fozzie Bear, who is a comedian and also an actual bear?

Heard in a meeting today: "Yes, that looks silly but not *aggressively silly*".

I like the concept - name some things that are aggressively silly with me!

There are two kinds of advertising

1. Contextual
2. Targeted

Not to bury my point: contextual is the normal, good, fair, effective type of advertising. Targeted is the creepy, resource intensive, privacy invading, and, (?!?!?!!) not particularly effective type of advertising.

This is Brighton, U.K. where a far right protest was met with a counter protest.
And when I say far right protest it was 4 blokes, and when I say counter protest it was hundreds and hundreds of people.

You have to look closely, but the 4 blokes are on the left hand picture, hiding behind the protective ring of police who are, suddenly, their best friends now.

Tim Walz Fixed Your Bicycle https://tim-walz-fixed-your-bicycle.glitch.me/

Chess hasn’t been updated in almost 200 years and it’s obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank.

I remember back in 705 AD when chess was fun. Then they started adding stupid features no one wanted like “castling” and “en passant” instead of listening to player feedback and fixing game-breaking bugs. I’ve been complaining for years about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The ‘clipping-through-pieces’ bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it.

Don’t support this awful behaviour and boycott this company.

not only would I vote for them I would buy this album

@atomicpoet Hope you enjoy it I had that exact typewriter many year ago and wrote a lot of correspondence and paper on it and I miss it!
