Now, because of Google's no-opt-out policy on AI searches, every search uses ten times more power than they used to. Want to find out what movie Danny DeVito did with Arnold Schwarzenegger? Now, you have to weigh your curiosity against the health of the planet.
Don't Google that! It was Twins! Jeez, didn't you read the start of this post?

@artemis I used a lot of unusual words when I was a child because I read a lot of books. Basically, I spoke like a dead author.

@jimbush I would like to propose the hypothesis that the reason there was so much good music in the 80's is that musicians used to get paid pretty well for putting out good music.

Oh boy

@VeryBadLlama Me, paying six dollars for a five layer burrito that used to be eighty nine cents, "I dreamed a dream of times gone by. When I was young and life worth living."

They are committing election fraud so they can claim there was election fraud.

"Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night, there was a tragic mistake."
The latest mistake in a line 30,000 mistakes long. If this keeps up, there might accidentally be no more Palestinians left. Whoopsiedaisy.

@misc I guess I'm late to the party. Why do we hate Substack?

@misc @ernie Thanks. Is there a better alternative I should look into?

@Gargron will it be a problem if I post random memes that I find online that have no attribution?

@siege Nice! Thank you so much for the suggestions! You've given me a lot to investigate.

@siege I would very much like to know if you have any favorite books on that subject.

@siege That subject has taken up a great deal of my headspace for the last few months. I'm a singer in a band, but we aren't active enough for my taste, so I've also been studying the variety arts, specifically magic performance. I'm trying to bridge the gap between learning tricks and performing magic.

@siege Thank you so much! I'm fascinated with the concept of festival. Every frumpy little town here in Oregon has its own day where everyone gathers to celebrate and cut loose. It's not the same thing you are talking about, but I suspect it springs from a similar human need.

@siege What is a Black Masquerade? I asked Google, but all they want to do is sell me masks.

@Gargron what are you hiding on your chin?
