In that case, I recommend everyone go to the Thundercat show. But only to support @jimmyjazz’s daughter.

Saw him open for Khruangbin. It was one of the worst live acts I’ve ever seen. 30 minutes of weird high-speed bass jazz shit and every song sounded exactly the same. I’m not familiar with him, but I read some fan reviews to the effect that his live stuff is very different from his studio recordings.

Which will create all kinds of weird incentives.

I thought the Copyright Office guidance differentiates between creations of AI based on prompts (not copyright able) versus just implementing a human’s artistic vision (copyrightable). In other words, a composition would only be copyrightable if it is the artistic work of a human being.

That reminds me of my MAGA uncle who was so committed to his conservative principles that he lied about his small business’s income so that his five kids could eat government-funded free lunches at their sectarian private school. And I’m not being sarcastic. He was deeply committed to the conservative principles of hypocrisy, dishonesty, and cheating the system.

I’m starting to think that maybe it’s a bad idea to sell military grade weapons to members of a genocidal party that went to war against the whole world.

Joke all you want, but it is clear to me that the solution to our gun violence problem is only selling pickup trucks to guys who aren’t pussies. America would be much safer if every truck owner would, without hesitation or second-guessing, immediately stomp on the gas and ram full speed into any potential threat.

Agreed. Calling for more violence (and political violence, at that) is way fucking over the line.

If there’s one group of people for whom that advice surely won’t backfire, it’s all the husbands posting on TexAgs!

As I walk through the battlefield of life, I make sure to always train my laser site on the vitals of the nearest threat. Yesterday, for example, I grabbed a coffee from a local shop. My red dot hovered on the barista’s forehead the entire time I was ordering. You can never be too careful. When the transaction was over, I reached for the cup with my free hand while careful to keep the muzzle pointed at my potential murderer behind the counter, and then slowly backed away to retrieve cream and sugar. There was some gray hair there, taking her sweet time. She might have been mixing her coffee or, equally likely, she might have been plotting an ambush. I quickly reevaluated the tactical situation, calculating that this elderly woman was now the greatest present threat to my safety. I maintained a safe distance with my weapon at the ready, all the while scanning the shop for nascent threats — college students, hipsters, young parents and their roaming toddlers were all within strike range. I needed to remain on high alert if I had any chance to escape this viper’s nest. The old woman left without firing on me. I was lucky, this time.

Yep. We made it so that many Americans have nothing left to lose, then armed them.

We need to harden the food court.

Pretty sure Jesus said the same thing.

Planning on it.

The robots have only one weakness: they can’t draw hands.

TIL that Pluto has the first season of Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butthead available to stream on demand.

He was not. He literally thought you could see color on a sonogram image.

I hate Twizzler Nazis.

This is America’s most prominent collision of cross-dressing and fascism since J Edgar Hoover.

He is embarrassingly dumb. Years ago, his show had a discussion about cuckolds getting stuck with child support for other dudes’ kids. One of the panelists told a story (probably urban myth) about a white guy who got stuck paying for his white girlfriend’s baby that, they realized at birth, was half-black. Maher was stunned and asked “Didn’t they see the baby was black on the sonogram?” When his guests politely ignored that idiotic question and tried to steer the discussion to something less stupid, he interrupted and asked again, as if he was making an insightful point instead of an ass of himself.

In my experience, this is true of first generation Indian-Americans. And it’s true irrespective of their US political leanings. Which is fucking depressing, if you ask me.

They already make a riding floor waxer.

They also have a Rifftrax channel.

Read this book. Republicans have not “given up” on democracy and majority rule. They’ve been actively undermining it for decades. The fascinating thing about Trumpism is it’s actually a democratic opposition movement that was so god damned dumb, it jumped in on the side of its oppressors.
