I’m the Socrates of “Ulysses” readers because no one really knows what’s going on but I admit it makes no sense therefore I am the smartest reader of them all

Ahead of the curve, here. Been leaving the "cool" out of podcasting for years. This is an intentional thing I have been doing intentionally. vanityfair.com/news/2023/07/…
Text from a Vanity Fair article that reads: TITLE: After the Podcast Gold Rush, Is Audio Too Corporate to Be Cool? I lived through the boom-bust cycle (celebrity deals, canceled shows), and the term podcasting is feeling dated-"almost pejorative," as Sam Sanders puts it. Still, Ira Glass thinks the industry should keep its eye on the craft and "leave the cool out of it.

I know nothing of the #ShazamMovie coming out today, but I can only assume it'll include this actual scene from the comics, where Shazam's greatest enemy, Mr. Mind, crawled under his clothes to give him a "de luxe tickle"
Shazam's greatest enemy, telepathic space worm Mr. Mind, crawling under his clothes to tickle him so he cannot stop a missile from hitting earth.

Mr. Mind is crawling down Shazam's pants, saying "BEFORE HE SLAPS ME AGAIN, ILL CRAWL UNDER HIS CLOTHES AND GIVE HIM A DE LUXE TICKLE!"

I get the feeling this place is on its last leg, so if this is my final tweet, I want to share a fun breakfast cocktail: Syrup Some Trouble. It’s like a boilermaker, but it’s a shot of maple syrup dropped into a larger, full glass of syrup. No ice.

Twitter has announced it will begin charging for API access starting 2/9/23. That's how I auto-post. This bot is a hobby for me, so this account will stop posting when that happens. The Dune Quote Bot is on Mastodon if you want to keep following: botsin.space/@dune

gm to the tiktok lady who said the myth of Sisyphus is about the value of having a good daily routine and that Sisyphus is happy because he is getting more swole every time he pushes the boulder up. my brain gets hot like an old laptop thinking about it

It’s so so so ridiculously easy to find amazing music made by talented people for incredibly reasonable prices if it isn’t already being given away with a Creative Commons license. Tech continues to excel at solving problems that are not problems. theverge.com/2023/1/28/23574…

Did some axolotl research. They’re wild They can regrow & accept limbs and eyes from other axolotls They can regrow everything up to parts of their own brains & hearts They are carnivores and can be cannibals They’re basically tiny transparent Wolverines with creepy dead eyes
The creepiest animal ever, the axolotl. It’s looking at you with its dead eyes deciding whether to eat you now or later

US Poet Laureate Stanley Kunitz once said "poetry is the last form of uncorrupted art because it holds no market value," which is somehow both the highest honor and the deepest burn.

My wife and son got me a replica Ocarina of Time for my birthday last year and learning to play it is going well even though they describe my efforts as "extremely shrill" and "I hate that." Basically I’m spite-learning the ocarina.

“Promote tweet” under every tweet for our @MythsAndLegends account is like Twitter is shrugging its shoulders and saying “that’s a nice post you got there…be a real shame if no one ever saw it… real shame… I’m just sayin.”
