On that ‘purpose’ of NFTs... well, it didn’t really start out like that, either. NFTs were a solution looking for a problem, that then claimed to have found one. Not one single part of the technology really does anything at all to solve what it claims to, it was just a bunch of the usual blockchain idiots finding a…

You don't own art with NFT.

If you don’t think NFTs are a scam you probably think crypto isn’t a scam, either.

The big scam is that there’s nothing inherent to the NFT which gives you any rights whatsoever. You are NOT buying artwork, you are buying a receipt that says you paid money for artwork.

Now, it is theoretically possible for artists to bundle licenses or rights transfer of some kind WITH their NFT, but there is…

Fuck NFTs. All my homies hate NFTs.

NFTs, and cryptocurrency, are all the experience of 40+ years of escalating hyperspeculation, and a certain group of opportunists and idealists, sometimes both — very 1970s silicon valley — deciding to slam the gas pedal on it. The entire premise is rotten. I’m an artist and I don’t mind saying that I still look down…

Still waiting on NFTs to die a slow, undignified death, world. Hurry it up, kay?

Feel like I should be trying to say something insightful, but the only thing that comes to mind is:

For a 2,064 (ha) piece set, $170 isn’t bad at all. They did a whole minifig series that were $5 each (blind packs but you can find a guide online for finding the right ones) and the play sets have some $40 sets. I’m glad they have a diverse set of options for those of us who want something larger. 

This is around $0.08 per brick. That is not too bad of a license tax and in fact being under $0.10 per brick is good. It is well below the Disney and Star Wars sets. Even bulk classic LEGO come in around $0.05 to $0.08 per brick depending on the pack. Yes this is a micro build so there are a lot of smaller pieces.…

So are two miserable people staying together. 

Mulaney just perfectly sticking the landing of ‘30 something that says they don’t want kids so they buy a dog they overly lavish and constantly compare to a human child only to have a kid just before 40' that every city dwelling white person does.

It’s also possible his wife just didn’t want kids and John agreed to it, now given the opportunity and having faced some shit he realized he does. Hell for all we know that could’ve been part of what drove them apart. People change.

I’ve seen people reference this and ... I mean, I haven’t seen or read every interview or piece of standup he’s ever done, but in all his filmed standup specials, my recollection is that if he brings it up it’s as “we’re not planning to have kids.” In one he explicitly then says “what, never? I dunno, people change.”…

i can’t even count how many marriages of mine Olivia Munn has ruined.

You have no actual experience or knowledge of his relationship with his ex-wife and commenting on it as you though you know the inner workings is extermely weird behaviour.

It’s pretty easy for you to judge and dismiss things from where you’re positioned in this parasocial relationship. While certainly not as damaging as an addiction to cocaine, parasocial relationships and sitting so far stop a high horse in judgment of complete strangers are unhealthy and, in their own way, addictive…

I went to rehab for cocaine as well, I’m approaching a year and I’ve basically had to reduce a lot of things in my life that feel like I’m performing for people (work events, stepping down from roles in friends weddings, summer BBQ’s, dates). I can’t imagine being a literal a performer struggling with cocaine abuse.…

It’s so weird and unpleasant how many teenagers on Twitter feel personally betrayed because this person going through a lot of personal strife divorced his wife.

I’ve been seeing more and more speculation recently about a Planet 9 in the lay science literature lately (ie, intended for people like us who aren’t trained in astronomy). I can't tell if this is an emerging consensus, or just getting lots of press attention, because a new planet would be really cool, of course.
