ah christ, i loved it coming to portland that people weren’t as fake and guarded and pretentious and honestly the grass is still greener on this side but man without things to displace it onto people are fucking terrible to each other aren’t they

transhumanism makes me deeply uncomfortable because every “transhuman” world i have ever seen is basically our world with shinier, more efficient people, which seems like the most perverse thing you could possibly set out to change about mankind as it currently is

I feel this same distance, and I do feel it as a superiority on my part, but I’m not convinced this doesn’t properly mark me as a thing to be cleansed

A fact about my idol Gabriele d'Annunzio, which for most people would be the most interesting thing about them but for him doesn’t even make it into the top 50, is that he participated in two pistol duels and lost them both.

Once he let the other guy shoot first and miss by a mile, and then fired his own gun into the ground, sort of the intentional walk of pistol duels. The guy insisted on reloading and doing it again, which while technically his right under the accepted code duello was generally considered a Total Dick Move, and winged d'Annunzio in the crown of the head.

Gabriele attributed his developing baldness to the disinfectant used to clean the wound, proclaimed that it made him the sexiest man in the world, and claimed that in the future, everybody would be bald.

Another fact about my idol Gabriele d'Annunzio is that he liked to insist that he had invented foodstuffs that he in fact had not. Sometimes these were obscure European regional dishes not widely known, but this included cases like sending a Pope (with whom he had friendly rivalries as #1 Italian celebrity, though the Church formally and ineffectually prohibited most of his works) drinks “of his own invention” that were well known as products of a famous monastery for centuries. Also in 20th century Italy he claimed to have invented spaghetti.

Haha the French riot all the time yes well the foundational event of the French nation was rioting so it becomes sanctified as the national legitimating idiom

Well our national legitimating idiom is writing angry essays until someone starts a romantic war of secession and it’s not like that never bites us in the ass

God, I forgot what a metric bitch it is to set type.

Remember that “HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead” shit? The story behind its marketing is one of my favorite advertising tales ever.

The original commercial for this product—which, if you don’t know what it is, it’s essentially a giant tube of Chapstick, or at least, that’s…

a lot of topical products - HeadOn, anti-wrinkle cream, stretch mark lotions, even traditional wound poultices - more or less work by “tricking” you into repeatedly massaging the affected area.

I like how Seth McFarlane and Taylor Swift are both still as psyched as anyone would be they get to fuck celebrities.

No one on public radio can speak like a human. If it’s not the hosts with the NPR voice, it’s guests who sound like they’re saying each word individually and constantly being surprised that they’re coming together to form thoughts and sentences.

That would be a pretty good premise for an SCP, actually.
