Linear A.
Ancient language, lost to the modern day. Largely undecipherable.
So this got me to thinking . . . what if machines do have a subconscious of their own? What if machines right now are like human babies, which have brains but no way of expressing themselves except screaming (crashing)? What would a machine's subconscious look like? How does it feed off what we give it? If machines could talk to us, what would they say?

Best of G.I. Joe PSAs (via Stquinn)

these were huge when they came out (and were subsequently cease & desisted out of existence) my senior year of college. i haven’t watched them since, and was amazed at how many phrases from these still exist in my lexicon. e.g.:

WIFE: Dozen.

WIFE: A few dozen.
a few dozen pounds fine I get it. A few dozen pounds consisting mainly of but not limited to: Chocolate Pop Tarts, Twinkies, Ding Dongs, double-decker PB&Js, pink and white animal cookies, duck sandwiches, maricopa almonds, stinky cheese, french bread, deer in a thai curry peppercorn sauce, trail mix with the peanuts picked out, breakfast sausage, pistachios, Diet Coke, large Jamba Juices, those little Butterfingers, lox when we had Zvi the Israeli P.A., and sushi.
And I’m willing to own that. Especially the sushi part.
I find your lack of faith disturbing: BOY IN THE BUBBLE
hilarious beyond belief rant by the guy who did the recently-cancelled terminator: sarah connor etc tv show. worth reading.

Space Ghost: Yeah. Let’s drink until our hearts stop.
