Northbridge Boi #WeAreNorrebro

Who I want to be when I grow up: Dolly Parton. The Doctor. Any of the Mythbusters. A guitar player.

Who I am now: Bad guitar player. Believer in the idea that society is a thing built by the powerless to keep the powerful in check, and that #politics & policy failing to reflect this are incomplete at best.

I enjoy overanalyzing #PopCulture and building weird, practical and/or funny sh*t #maker #3Dprinting

Am argumentative. It just means that I care.

What do you think of using an AI version of his voice for Olympic recaps? https://www.comicsands.com/al-michaels-voice-ai-olympics-2668626070.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

@georgetakei F**king why? It's. Not. Him.

Seriously, I don't know what else to say. It's not him.

Would we consider doing this the old-fashioned way, with an actor in full lookalike makeup etc.? No, we wouldn't; if you suggested it everyone would laugh you out of the room & rightfully so.

So, why do it with an AI?

I don't even know how to begin asking what people think this accomplishes, what value it creates, because it's so boundlessly, head-explodingly stupid & pointless.

By refusing to recuse himself from Jan 6 cases, Alito is violating the court's code of ethics, which call for recusal when “the Justice’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned…”

If flying 2 pro-insurrection flags doesn't call his impartiality into question, what does?

@rbreich I dunno - obviously & transparently lying about it...?

Tell me: how does it make sense that an entry-level federal employee is subject to more stringent ethics rules than Supreme Court justices?

@rbreich In the (paraphrased) words of Tom Skerrit in "Alien": It makes sense, my dear, because the Company says so.
