I have mixed feelings about the last few weeks of Stephen Colbert's "Late Show." It's becoming a bit self-congratulatory. I agree with the guy in Variety this week who says it's gotten tedious. Colbert has always seemed like one of the good guys; this ego trip is out of character

On that promised morning
We will wake and greet the dawn
Knowing that your wicked life is over
And that we will carry on

We'll exhale
We'll high five
We will know at last
How great it is to be alive

Someone told me I should probably get a colonoscopy.

Instead, I pooped in a box.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a Cologuard box. And now I'm not allowed to return anything to Penney's any more

RE: @darrenmorin@mstdn.ca

Generative AI is built on theft. There is nothing "creative" about it and there is no "intelligence" behind it — it's a statistical engine that mashes things together based on probabilities.

Adobe has always been kind of a shitty company but they're plumbing the depths here

I bought a new jingle package for my show and I kind of want to call off work for the next couple of days and sit in the production studio playing with my jingles. Gee, that sounded dirty at the end

"But the Ayatollah was a bad guy!" Just because citizens of another nation don't like their leader doesn't mean they want the U.S. dropping bombs on them. That would seem to be an obvious point.
