@WarnerCrocker this is my greta thunberg moment!

I would like to propose the Billionaire Transpermia Project. I submit:

a) Mars needs billionaires to transform it into a utopia for more billionaires
b) It will require many more billionaires than we meager Earthlings can provide

therefore:

1) We should put all our billionaires in high speed rockets
b) launch them directly at Mars, then distribute their cellular material as broadly as possible, perhaps using high altitude explosions
c) wait for Billionaire Martians to evolve

#Satire

@WarnerCrocker Listening to the President insist that the intelligence is wrong is not just absurd, it's dystopian and terrifiying.

Some Democrats seem astonished that voters in New York would dare to nominate a candidate who actually espouses the party's values instead of a rapey corporate piece of shit.

Maybe the real treasure was the services we enshittified along the way

*cue The X-Files theme*

There's a horse loose in the hospital and he's telling reporters both sides don't know what the fuck they're doing

at 20: move fast and break things

at 50: move fast and break wind

SpaceX builds the Cybertruck of heavy lift vehicles

We keep aggrandizing wealthy malignant sociopaths.

In doing so, we fail to grasp the difference between being an apex human and being an apex predator.

@WarnerCrocker And the month is Whatthefucktember

Wait It's still Thursday? What bullshit is this

This is a fantastic bookend to The Substance. Both movies focus on aging entertainers at the end of their careers. While the Demi Moore movie is straight up horror, this was done in a verité style that'll land with 70s movie buffs.

If you have a low opinion of Pamela Anderson from her Baywatch and Playboy associations, and her documentary didn't already turn you around, watch this. She's spectacular.

Also Jamie Lee Curtis.

@WarnerCrocker "Let's just get this fucking over with."

Calling it Apple Intelligence made the company look dumb

@WarnerCrocker the irony is I wanted someone to completely dismantle the government bureaucracy, just not THIS MF

headline: Apple says its App Store blocked $9B+ in fraudulent transactions

me: Was the $1M Tim Cook gave Trump one of them

What if all life on earth is the result of bad vibe coding

@WarnerCrocker The company in question being Microsoft, which has a very well documented propensity for allowing utility to be overrun with crap. So at least it's on brand.

@WarnerCrocker I understand the performance and the subtext, but I hate that this is what LinkedIn has become.

I'm not sure how it ever fit into the pantheon of professional social media to begin with, it's always been a misfit.

And my past experiences with it as a work generator have left me harshly wanting.

I've long felt like my presence there is a necessary evil, like having Facebook and Twitter namespaces occupied, if fallow.
