I get the joke, but have you ever considered what an absolute groove the original 12 version of that that song is? Did you know it’s the Pointer Sisters? It’s a full on banger!
Ya know... sometimes it's nice to pause just for a moment and remember that someone *made* technology. There are stories to be told and some of them are deeply human.
Like that one guy... who created TIFF.

thanks for the explanation, makes sense on all accounts. And boy oh boy don't I know it.
There's an empty lot in Southie that is used to stage construction equipment (I don't know who owns it) that has been plastered with signs for Murphy, Baker, and Kraft for most of the year. Ride past it fairly often and muse on what that says about city politics. Although of late, when I ride past, a nelson_haha.wav plays in my head to see the sign for the abortive Kraft campaign.
Murphy and Baker can die in a hole, though.
a classification system for fraud:
tier 1 fraud: a person defrauds another party, illegally. (e.g. cards cheat, pool hustler)
tier 2 fraud: an organisation defrauds another party, illegally. (e.g. online scam networks)
tier 3 fraud: a person or organisation defrauds another party within the law.
(e.g. fossil fuel industry, rupert murdoch, amazon, facebook, lobbiests.)
tier 4 fraud: government or lawmakers abuse their position for their own gain. (trump admin, luxon coalition, etc.)
🎬️ watched My Best Friend Is a Vampire (1987)
It's alright. Not quite fun enough, but not quite low-energy either.
Way less gay than every review claims. There's a /little/ bit of subtext/analogies, but only towards the end, and it's counter-balanced by being aggressively heterosexual whenever it's physically able.
Interestingly, though this film does say "gay" a couple times, Lost Boys is significantly gayer despite never directly saying anything.
The image is a movie poster for “My Best Friend is a Vampire.” It features a vibrant, glossy aesthetic reminiscent of 1980s horror-comedy films. The central focus is a coffin standing upright in a high school hallway, surrounded by rows of typical metal school lockers. A pair of bright white sneakers with red laces are casually resting against the coffin, suggesting a playful, unconventional juxtaposition. Above the coffin, the text reads, “My best friend is a Vampire” in a stylized font with the word “Vampire” rendered in red. Below the image, additional text lists cast and crew details.

in reply to 痛苦24小时营业 • • •The image is a dark, low-light photograph of a cat standing on a dark-colored floor. The cat is mostly black, with bright, glowing eyes that are the most prominent feature in the image. It appears to be facing the camera directly. To the right of the cat are light-colored, vertically-lined curtains, and behind the cat is a dark, solid wall. The floor is a darker shade than the curtains and appears to be smooth, possibly tile or polished wood.
