The Scathing Atheist podcast has been reading through the new testament lately with Jesus played as a sassy gay man.

God damn you.

I saw the same document. It was thoroughly disgusting and more or less describes what you said. I’m not making excuses for anyone, but they’re also just allegations. I would very much like to see them demonstrated in a court of law, but I don’t know that that’s really possible at this point.

Coldplay is the John Krasinski of music.

This is so good.

Well, the god of the Bible is a malevolent narcissist, and they do strive to be godly.

I stand corrected on that one. I assumed it was sumac bark, and you know what they say about assumption. It makes an ass out of u and mption.

Cinnamon and sumac are two common spices that are made from grinding up tree bark.

I really dislike superhero movies in general, especially this non-stop Marvel/DC stuff, and a primary reason for that is the way they tend to go in and out of live action and animation. There’s an uncanny valley thing that happens in that transition, and you can obviously still tell that large portions of the live action stuff is shot on a greenscreen. It all looks fake as a result. My suspension of disbelief is shattered.

But when a movie like this admits it’s animated, things improve a lot. I watched the first Spiderverse movie the other day with my kid, and I absolutely loved the art style. I had other problems with the movie, but the visual style was not one of them. I wish there were more animated movies targeting older audiences with unique art direction like that.

Lol, I’m sorry

Actually, Pythonscript is a whitespace-sensitive Python-to-perl transpiler.

Never had a beer that I liked. There are some I can tolerate, but none of them are actually enjoyable. So I usually go for cocktails, either a gin and tonic or a Moscow mule.

It was used by Hilary Clinton to describe Trump supporters. A “basket of deplorables” I think was her term.

Do you recommend a particular instance?

Yeah, that was the dominant form of music distribution at the time.

So you haven’t seen, for example, Cowboys From Hell by Pantera or Weathered by Creed, then? I don’t think Vs is a particularly bad album cover, especially by comparison to those. The photography is fine. Maybe it’s not your average Hipgnosis cover, but it’s ok.

Yeah, that’s a really weird way to finger a G major. I will play it with my second finger on the third fret of low E, first finger on the second fret of A, third finger barred across B and high E at third fret. If I’m playing a song that requires certain chord changes (like the way Wonderwall drops from G major to a G/F# to an Em7 to a Dsus to an A7sus) I will use third and fourth finger on the high strings instead of the barre because it’s easier to move the root notes around that way.

Anything from Neutral Milk Hotel’s album In an Aeroplane Over the Sea. The whole album is Guitar 101.

It’s very, very costly, both but the hardware and the electricity it takes to run it. There may be a bit of sunk cost fallacy at play for some, especially the execs who are calling for AI Everything, but in the end, in AI doesn’t generate enough increase in revenue to offset its operational costs, even those execs will bow out. I think the economics of AI will cause the bubble to burst because end users aren’t going to pay money for a service that does a mediocre job at most things but costs more.
