Holy shit, that's amazing. Now I want to know all about the process. Did you write the lyrics or have AI do it? And how did you then generate the song?

I do write the lyrics. As it turns out, it is approx. 50 times easier to write country songs than raps.

The site I'm using is Suno.com - it will create lyrics on its own if you want it to, but they are generally stupid and follow very simplistic patterns. Almost like Shakespeare verses. Plus they are all clean and puritan and shizz. To get it to say what I want it to I have to be phonetic (eg. had to write the last part of verse 1 as "Keep it up I fuh-kin love thish it!").

With the lustrous blonde hair and tits? You look great!

So much greatness in the song and pictures. AI still can't do people drinking out of a bottle. I love the scenes where topless female boxers have their nips covered by blood. And at 0:28, why is the woman sticking a vibrator in the guy's face?

You're doing the thing that Steve Aoki to prove anyone can become a DJ but without the rich dad that owned Benihana.

But this is way better. And your other songs are awesome too.

Went to urgent care a couple weeks ago because it turns out it really hurts when you kick a chair, and today they sent me an e-mail with the subject "TWO SPECIAL GIFTS FOR MOTHER'S DAY ON SUNDAY!"

Sure I shared this a couple years ago but I had stood up and my leg was asleep so I started doing the kicking motion which led me to kicking the chair and breaking my toe. Dumbest way I’ve ever lost $1k.

The Mrs. is taking a trip to Turks and Caicos for 5 days for a 50th birthday trip. Last night she gave me a huge clump her necklaces and earrings that were jumbled together around 9:30 and asked if I could work to separate them. I was up until 3, and I got about 20 out, with the last four completely stuck. I then set my alarm for 5:30 to bring down her big-ass suitcase before heading back to bed for a few hours.

So what I'm saying is, she owes me to cosplay my favorite fictional bombshell when she gets back, right?

It just turned into an obsession. The idea that I wasn't quitting until it was done kicked in.

We have similar brains ... I did this for like an hour and a half during one of my kids b-day parties. I think she was like 7 and had gotten cheapy matching necklaces for the gift bags and they all got wound together. You basically don't want to stop until you're done because its admitting defeat.

A teacher at our kids’ future high school was arrested today for possession of child pornography which is obviously awful in and of itself. Turns out his wife is the head principal at another high school in town, and my buddy who’s now an AP has worked with both of them in the past. I can’t even imagine what she’s going through or the parents of the kids who go to that school now since he has admitted to having pics taken on campus. Here is her email to her staff this morning two hours after the FBI raided her home and the first time she found out about this.
Dear Taylor High Staff,
 
I am sure that many of you are aware of the incident involving my husband, James Stone.  James was arrested this morning for possession of pornographic materials.  His arrest and involvement in this criminal activity was unbeknownst to me or those closest to him.  My family and I are deeply disappointed in his actions and thus we do not have any plans to be involved in James’ criminal proceedings as he navigates the next steps.  It also important for me to confirm with you that I, nor any other family member, is implicated in James’ criminal activity.
 
Because the incident is still being investigated, law enforcement agencies are unable to provide additional information at this time, but know that the District and I take this incident very seriously and are fully cooperating with law enforcement. 
 
Providing a safe and secure learning environment is and will continue to be the District’s and my top priority. An update will be provided by the District as information becomes available.
 
I greatly appreciate your support and understanding as this matter is addressed by law enforcement.
 
Dr. Melinda Stone
Principal

Damn! Assuming he's guilty, guys like that who prey on kids are the worst. Assuming she’s innocent, I can’t imagine the heartache of his wife.

Missing the word “neither” there makes for a very weird sentence.

She also conveniently left out the word "child" before "pornography."

I noticed that as well. While a normal person would understand that just having porn is not a crime, certain types of porn are. I guess they're just hoping for a lie of omission softening the impact.

Pretty major omission. I'm wagering just about all of us reading that are going to pick up on it, as will the parents reading it who know what's what.

since he has admitted to having pics taken on campus
So did he like hire someone to take pics of his students on campus or take them himself? Was it like locker room pics?

I read that one as using an umbrella term (child porn is a type of "pornographic materials") to avoid potentially getting herself into trouble if technically its still in the whispers stage. Just sending out the letter acknowledges he wasn't cranking to MILF porn.

Anyone else remember the Friendly’s fried chicken sandwich from back in the late 80s or 90s? I know eventually they started using tenders like assholes would, but the originally was (in my memory) really good.
