Good.

But as AI expert Justine Moore pointed out on social media site X

HAhahahahahahah

In other news, science has indications the sun may be hot as a muthafucka.

Indeed.

I’m mad I had to read the whole thing to figure out what the fuck was going on.

Ah. https://www.dagens.com/world/danish-navy-intercepts-chinese-ship-linked-to-sabotage

The ship’s captain is reportedly a russian citizen

So- ? Either it wasn’t true, or it was and the Chinese ship would rather lie about it.

That’s not what the previous article said. Crap now i gotta go look it up.

Chinese Ship’s Crew Piloted By A Russian Cut International Cables

Seems pretty un-American and it’s worked out really well for them.

Fucking would someone please explain media literacy to the fucking idiot shitheads of the world who have no fucking clue before russia plunges every single fucking country into the shit?

*cough* Sorry. Just a little sore over here.

It’s open season on consumers. Americans, born into consumerism, raised on consumerism, and soaked in the purifying propaganda of consumerism on a daily basis are confused. “Why I can no buy as much?”

Because (as a nation) we don’t delete Facebook, we don’t get off Xitter, we don’t stop watching TV ads, we don’t pirate media, and we do the same things we’ve always done - watch TV (or as the kids say, “looking at the Internet”). They’re just picking us off one service fee at a time.

The answer is simple and relatively easy, we just don’t wanna.

I followed instructions to install Debian on a spare drive and gave it a go and do you know what, it was fine. It made me realise 90% of what I do is in a browser anyway, so why did I have a hang up about having the exact same browser experience in a slightly different operating system?

That’s how it’s done people. Alright let’s go 2025 Year of the Linux Desktop (Again)! Chop chop! Let’s move out!

Is that a Mexican poncho, or is that a Sears poncho?

Whitefield School was rated as outstanding until, in 2017, Ofsted discovered the use of bare, padded rooms without windows to seclude children.

But the existence of the CCTV footage did not become public until 2021, when the BBC learned an investigation had been launched after the discovery of a box of USB memory sticks containing 500 hours of disturbing footage from inside the rooms

Can they not be sued?

Oh man that reminds me when my friends and I would sneak off after gym and go around behind the basketball courts to affirm our gender. Good times, good times.

Of course she does. She fucked up. And assholes never admit mistakes.

You have GOT to be shitting me.

Edit: wow. It was almost everything I hoped it’d be. What an incredibly stupid hateful shithead. The fact that she looks like a Real Housewife is just perfection.

“changing cultural pressures”

Right

Would anyone be surprised if there were literally zero human beings invovled in this story?

For anyone unaware, the “music industry” had a brief period around 1960-1978 where they led youth culture and brought some decent artists to the fore, including [everyone]. Which was ironic as they started mostly as a goof by rich people or a front by the mafia.

A “record deal” was always a sucker’s deal because they’d loan you $300,000 or whatever and then decide how much you’d paid them back over however many years you made them money. The companies didn’t buy videos or tour buses or billboards or anything -they fronted the money and the artist paid for that, usually without knowing it.

Around 1980, in a coke-fueled bender that lasted over a decade, they decided “fuck it” and just screwed everyone they could for every dollar they could. Fortunately, they were so stupid and up their own asses that mp3s destroyed them after a decade of them trying to decide who was going to get fucked more than who else. (Anyone remember the DAT wars?)

Billions were made but the artist usually only saw a small fraction of that because record companies were “riding the gravy train” and living fat off all the money. Nothing has changed. No one is going to wake up. It was always this bad. It’s just that being a touring musician used to be at least a job and a career and now it’s pretty rare.

If it helps, think of it like this - there’s no one in any seat of real power in the “music industry” who is a musician. They don’t give a shit about what they’re selling, it could be cow pies for all they care - they’d look and act exactly like they do now because it has 100% nothing to do with music. It’s just marketing a persona and bilking them for all they can.

And it’s been that way the entire time. Yes, there are exceptions, but not many.
