Brian Wilson told the story of how Don Henley once came backstage after a concert. The Eagles co-founder arrived clutching his copy of Pet Sounds, the Beach Boys’ classic 1966 album, and told Wilson how much their music had inspired him when he was younger.

Keen to have Wilson autograph the album, he watched as Wilson picked up a Sharpie and wrote: “To Don – thanks for all the great songs.” Henley turned to leave but Wilson called him back and, grabbing the record, crossed out “great” and replaced it with “good”.

Henley took it well.

Many taxpayers would prefer the homeless die.

I barely know what the Fulbright Board does, but quitting is a dumbass doublecross — Trump will appoint their replacements.

When’s his third trial? When you’re rich, you can always buy another.

The lockdowns, pushed by the Trump administration.

Where did you spend 2020?

And I would add: Don’t give squat to the Democratic Party.

AI outage strands millions of artificially intelligent people!

OP is catching some grief for using an AI AI-detection tool, but I also use an AI AI-detection tool when I’m not sure, and I’m wondering we else we can do? The supposed AI image-generators are getting better, five fingers and all, and I’m not art critic enough to always be certain. It’s a problem that’ll only get worse as the fake artmakers get better.

I will say, AI AI-detection and then rejection is the only use I’ve found for AI.

You stay on the em dash patrol — thank you for your service!

This is just wildly brazen retaliation, ordinary for Trump but wide-open corruption of the sort I’d never seen in America until this fuckwad came along.

Jonathan Joss’ widower says shooting was a homophobic attack

This is good. Guys sums things up well, makes salient points. I’m sending it to a techy doofus who almost orgasms over AI.

Of course it’s unconstitutional, and of course that no longer matters. The constitution is finished. It’s whatever the Supreme Court says, unless overruled by Trump.

I too spent some of my childhood in the American South, and also several years in my 40s. My distaste for the South is well informed, and it’s my only prejudice that doesn’t embarrass me.

There are good people and bad people everywhere, and smart people and stupid people everywhere, but there’s a noticeably higher percentage of bad, stupid people in the South.

Holy crapoli, the memories this triggers. Suffice to say I am soooooo glad to be retired.

I ain’t arguing.

I don’t want to kick the original author while they’re down, but PayPal is a known shit company, and has been almost from the start. It’s closely related to the leopards-ate-my-face phenomenon — if you’re willing to work for a shit company, expect shit.

Well, nobody’s surprised, certainly. :)

Oh, I love this! Consider yourself hugged. I am going to swipe this line and use it against with my family.

Pope Leo confirms he’s a jackass.
