Then you will be happy to learn that the author Shunji Ito has a lot more disturbing stories.

I listen to everything. My main jam is melancholic singer-songwriter stuff or songs that tell stories, but I also listen to electronic, metal, folk, world music, whatever I enjoy. Last year my most-played stuff was Nothing Else Matters from the Wednesday soundtrack (0.01%), Sabaton (0.1%) and Japanese enka songs. The year before it was German singer-songwriter Anna Depenbusch, who I had just discovered.

I am torn on that. If it's a company making money off of it, despicable. If it's an open source model used for memes? I'm fine with that. We shouldn't act like artists follow some magical calling from god. Anything anyone creates is built on their education and the media they were exposed to. I don't think generative models are any different.

Text, sure. But I don't get the hate towards AI generated images. If it's a good image and it's not meant to mislead, I am completely fine with AI content. It's not slop if it's good.

Reality

I read an article, that the executioner who operated the electric chair was sometimes called the state electrician. I liked that, as I like many little known words and phrases. It has nothing to do with his job, the euphemism just tickled my fancy.

Proper gander?

Podcast of white men

Precinct of racists

That's kind of the point. A constant barrage of stupid and dangerous shit to keep you enraged until you burn put. You cannot stay enraged for four years and nobody will care to do anything if it's a constant stream of small and big steps to fascism. They're not removing all liberties at once, but in a lot of steps so that it becomes impossible to agree on which step becomes the straw to break the camel's back.

To be fair, this post is years older than the South African nazi buying Twitter.

And I thought I couldn't feel better about Jellyfin.

Test your might!

I really like that. It's nice to just finish a story, instead of milking it forever.

No, they did not. All I saw was a statement that people making a living on sites like TikTok or YouTube are also part of the entertainment industry. Which is just a fact. Whether you like short form content on these sites or not doesn't change that fact.

Nobody is saying that. But I will take a great meme over a shitty movie any day.

I just stopped shaving and now trim my facial hair with my hair trimmer. Far easier on the skin and zero extra cost.

Das älteste bekannte schriftliche Vorkommen dieses Fluchs ist von Goethe, ein Zeitgenosse Mozarts. In seinem Götz von Berlichingen heißt es "Er aber, sags ihm, er kann mich im Arsche lecken". Mozarts Kanon ist 9 Jahre jünger als Goethes Götz. Daher kann man davon ausgehen, dass diese Formulierung entweder gebräulich war oder dass Mozart Goethe zitiert hat.

Exactly. I enjoy the updated lyrics.

I don't think it's terrible.

Unrelated to the post, but there's an updated version of that song from Fall Out Boy: https://youtu.be/2LkVKCWL0U4
