Am discovering, via You Can See Everything discourse, that many people do not understand what is or is not ethical and many more don’t care

Re: “the machine can do these tests,” Fielder never really attempts to parse the lie. It’s not difficult to articulate the difference between having the capacity to do something *in theory* vs. *in practice*. He’s not actually trying to get a straight answer! That’s not his goal!

Almost done with my first bell hooks book (All About Love) and have found it quite insightful. Mostly affirming, I suppose, to find that my own discoveries and thoughts about love align with someone smarter than me

Cannot believe the nonsense Jordan Love has to put up with on a weekly basis. This is a perfectly thrown ball.

Josh Jacobs Drops The Touchdown Catch. That Could've Been His Second Touchdown Of The Day, But It Fell Right Through His Fingers. So Close. 😩

there's a part of Moby Dick where they hunt and kill a North Atlantic Right Whale not even for oil but to use its severed head to counterweight a sperm whale head hanging off the ship. there's like less than 500 right whales left in the wild today. almost gone forever.

the reason moby-dick remains such a vital piece of human art is that it addresses what is probably one of humanity's greatest collective atrocities, the genocide of the whales, with an ambivalence it cannot itself fully articulate. melville is distraught, but he can't explain why

Seems like “performative” is headed the route of “genuinely” and “lowkey” where the original sense of the word is lost and it is solely used as an interchangeable intensifier. 😔

This is the kind of thing that makes me happy about the internet and then like 10 hours later something like this has a community note saying it’s fake or something. I hope the 500 year old butt jingle is true.

Around 1500, Hieronymus Bosch painted sheet music on a sinner's bare butt in hell. 500 years later, someone transcribed and performed it. Now you can hear the original butt song from hell.

Related: Did not occur to me someone could get to adulthood without encountering Who’s On First? Absolutely wild. Open the schools

There is no wrong time for anyone to watch THE APARTMENT

The most damning thing I can say about sports pregame shows is that I thought they were great as an 11 year old

I got a lightbar thing that dramatically improves the lighting in my living room. I have to turn it on with an all, tho. The app has ads. I know that advertising seeks to invade every nook and cranny of our lives, but must we? Is nothing sacred?

Also when I was a child, you could pump your gas in peace. Now they play an ad at you while you pump your gas. They make you watch an ad in the Lyft app while you wait to get a driver!

I guess my question is: Do the people who have those ideas (“I bet we could make them watch an add while they sit on the can”) not hate themselves later? Someone had to come up with the gas pump ad idea. Do they not also hate it?

In desperate need of comfort food, self care, and feeling good, I am going to watch HEAT and cook a steak for dinner.

I think the correlation between people that use the phrase "absolute cinema" and people whose opinion about movies I am totally uninterested in is close to 100%
