You know, good for him. 

Ironically enough, AI might be the source that actually proves there’s a god out there/in there, wherever.

I just spent the last hour chatting with an Archibald Prize-winner, talking about the analogue is making a return, about how the artist’s individuality is in every individual brushstroke, about how the tactility and tangibility of art is something that cannot be effectively clone and copy-pasted into ones and zeros,…

“If you’re nearing the end of your 2024-mandated Girls rewatch”

Ah, jesus, I know I should resist, but... “A great story will always find its audience”? Really? Fucking hell, there’s been some absolute dogshit written on this site since all of the good writers left, but that’s got to be one of the most ridiculous. Ugh. Okay, I’m going to delete this site from my bookmarks now, and…

I like it! The symbol looks great, the trunks are back. Everything looks good. It does look like he’s already been in battle from the scorch marks. I’m picturing him just now getting home and some alien starts attacking the city and he’s like, okay, fine, back to work I guess.

That’s why he and Kevin Hart get along so well. Hart is similarly a walking promotional “hustle grindset” grifter. Sellouts in the mold of Krusty himself.

I listen to the “Merrily We Roll Along” cast recording all the time, and he’s pretty fantastic in it.

It’s almost shocking how well-adjusted the adults the Harry Potter child stars grew up to be are, even beyond the “big 3" of Daniel, Emma and Rupert.

I agree. It is really sad. It’s pretty incredible how far she’s descending in a relatively short amount of time. It makes me happy that he publicly and clearly condemns her for it.

The “inerrant god-breathed scripture” belief is dominant;

Starts about 1:25

Them using the “fulfill” quote as an abolishment of OT law makes no sense to me, especially given the context of the full passage and even moreso the one after - 

Reminds me of the Louis Black bit about how “The old testament if for us Jews” and that the Christians couldn’t handle the scary and vindictive OG and had to bring in “the nice young man who talked about love and peace.” 

“moveable sperm banks that walk around and come and go”

I’ve read two versions. Narratively, it’s somehow simultaneously disjointed and overindulgent dogshit. It’s a massive, convoluted fucking lore dump that’d make Tetsuo Nomura blush.

There’s a huge gulf separating your standard “I don’t believe in God” atheist from your obnoxious “me not believing in God marks me as an super being with intelligence far beyond anyone religious, ever.”

America is weird that way. People freaked out when Dawkins published “The God Delusion” as if it was some weird position to question religion. Meanwhile people in Europe were like “Didn’t Bertrand Russell write basically the same thing in ‘Why I am not a Christian’ about a century ago?”

I am an atheist and am excited to learn that, apparently, it now qualifies me as an “edgelord” as well. I also got whiplash from the way this article seemed to keep pivoting back and forth on whether the author thought it was the worst take, a legit take, a weird take, etc. 

It’s ‘contrarian’ and ‘edgelord’ to champion critical thinking skills now? Sounds like something a rib bone would say.
