Name a TV show you're sure nobody else remembers.

No thank you, local mailer doubling as nightmare fuel.

I wish I knew about this earlier.

Me telling a spam text to fuck off and getting automatically unsubscribed.

Jim Connelly@barefootjim· May 21

Oh I've got the spreadsheet. I even got a subscription to newspapers.com to go through entertainment listings from 1977-1996 to remind me of things I missed.

More unwanted AI bullshit on Facebook.

Jim Connelly@barefootjim· Apr 11

Anybody else get, like a dozen emails at the in a couple of minutes from FedEx asking you to “Update your email preferences" ?? Assuming that's an AI glitch on FedEx's part. And if it's actually spam, that's a different problem.

Nearly a dozen emails with the same header and the same sender.

Facebook now so desperate they have two different AI choices on their left navigation.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19. The final album by The Jam was clearly a transitional album, but I love the relentless relentlentness of it, as well as the funk and soul hybrids. And they were great in concert.

Jim Connelly@barefootjim· Feb 15

Maybe this one.

Finally, a useful year-end recap!

Which piece of art would you steal from a gallery and put on your wall after the alien virus takeover? For me, it's simple: "Green Cat In Uleåborg Finland Subway" by Dr. Seuss

For the next month, every time I run past this, all I’m going to be thinking is “don’t come to life don’t come to life don’t come to life don’t come to life.”
