You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I was watching the news and they had a live feed of a reporter driving down a rural Pennsylvania highway following electrical crews
Well, yeah, I just find it weird that somebody bought Lucasfilm...
All this time I was wondering who was going to snap up Scripps Networks Interactive (some analyst said that Disney might buy it, and these rumors have picked up a bit since the dissolution of the Scripps family trust that controls SNI)...
Things you should be afraid of #987: Greedy African Children
Fun fact: Using corn for ethanol isn't as efficient as other possible crops. The main reason that most ethanol comes from corn is because of lobbying by companies like Monsanto.
It also bumps up the prices for corn, making it more difficult for people to use it as food.

Derek Bailey (January 29, 1930 – December 25, 2005) was a free improvising avant-garde guitarist. The most noticeable feature of his style is what appears to be its extreme discontinuity, often from note to note: there may be enormous intervals between consecutive notes, and rather than aspiring to the consistency of timbre typical of most guitar-playing, Bailey interrupts it as much as possible: four consecutive notes, for instance, may be played on an open string, a fretted string, via harmonics, and using a nonstandard technique such as scraping the string with the pick or plucking below the bridge.
Many of the key features of his music –radical discontinuity, the self-contained brevity of each gesture, an attraction to wide intervals– owe much to Bailey’s early fascination with Anton Webern, an influence most audible on Bailey’s earliest available recordings, Pieces for Guitar (1966-67, issued on Tzadik).
Playing both acoustic and electric guitars (although more usually the former), Bailey was able to extend the possibilities of the instrument in radical ways, obtaining a far wider array of sounds than are usually heard. He explored the full vocabulary of the instrument, producing timbres and tones ranging from the most delicate tinklings to fierce noise attacks. (The sounds he produced have been compared to those made by John Cage’s prepared piano.)
Typically he played a conventional instrument, in standard tuning, but his use of amplification was often crucial.
Oh, for fuck's sake, DC 50, just when I thought you couldn't go any lower than running nothing but ads for predatory lenders, predatory private schools and predatory lawyers, you run campaign ads for RANDALL FUCKING TERRY. Complete with dead babies. :P
Fuckers. I should delete this episode of Springer right now.
Remember how people used to joke about Rudy Giuliani using "9/11" as an excuse for everything he did? Substitute "DEAD BABIES" for "9/11" and you basically have Terry. He's a hard-core anti-abortionist and has connections to domestic terrorism. How he's even able to run for president I'm not sure.
