Fitubrjótur hljómar eins og fjórtándi jólasveinninn

The subtext of ‘we should be more like Dubai’, beyond the obvious racism, is ‘I should have a servant’.

I'm a middle-aged man and frequently end up staring into the middle distance, thinking about fuck all. My wife accuses me of eyeing up other women when I'm doing this outdoors, which I have not done. I now suspect I have resting pervert face.

The old Concorde joke was: Fly British Airways! Breakfast in London. Dinner in New York. Luggage in Bombay. Looking forward to a new version of that for the first airline that "uses AI" to manage luggage.

I stopped calling Octavia butlers work prophetic once I realized she herself literally said that her work was influenced by deeply studying history which gave have her insight into the future. I realized I was watering down how truly brilliant she was and what she was trying to get across

What a delight to learn that most people aren't in fact raging LGBTQ-phobic shitweasels

"I like watching the news" of all the sick twisted shit I've come across this might be the limit

Vúpp! #eurovikes

Explaining to my wife that I cannot simply “read the books I’ve already bought and haven’t read” like some kind of peasant.

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun. joelmorris.substack.com/p/where-nobo...

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

So, I set the (new?) lock screen feature on the iPhone, picked Nature and Cities and let it select from my photos. And I have to say the effects it sets sometimes makes me doubt these are actually my photos. Looks great doesn't it?

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

AI at its peak

Every motorway service station should have a 5-a-side football pitch. The score should be continuous throughout the day with travellers swapping in and out via infinite subs.

Buster Keaton was born 130 years ago today, on October 4, 1895

Finally got around to adding to my blocked words for my sanity, so if you ever want to talk to me about cold drinks you need to tell me you want frozen water in them...

Don't worry, they've fixed it seamlessly!

It was the day that Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

Úfff.. Þessi þráður.. Styttist í að það sé best að slökkva bara á netinu..

Yet again the Internet attacks me. At least it's Friday.

This includes BIRTH CONTROL, by the way. As well as a shitload of mood stabilizers. Do NOT eat "spooky" black foods and snacks. Just don't.

"Cowen is Holbert L. Harris Professor of Economics at George Mason University and also faculty directo…" And is 63. I've read some really awful stuff on the Internet but this is ickier than anything.

And just like that I get a flashback to "misjudging the mood of the community" and gaaaaah!

like a lot of rapid changes in opinion, this is personal if you are a sports fan in this demographic, or even sports-adjacent, you almost certainly know someone who has ruined their life with sports betting

Not to dunk on Americans, but to dunk on Americans: Please STAAAAAHHHHHP.

One of my 1st jobs in Hollywood was as a file clerk for a dept of Disney called “Pooh Licensing” *pause for snickering*. PL’s job was to go after ANYONE who used Winnie the Pooh w/o paying for the right. They sued folks from bootleggers to school teachers who hung Pooh on a classroom door. CUT TO:

Nick Drake delivered the lyrics to the designer of the Five Leaves Left sleeve long before the album was finished — and this verse of ‘River Man’ went unrecorded.

Second look at Butlerian Jihad?

This is amazing. I knew that Goodall thought the cartoon was funny but I didn’t know she brought Larson to Tanzania to get his ass kicked by a chimpanzee.

Hver ætli hafi verið uppáhalds morgunmatur foreldra hans?

Jane Goodall, from a March 2020 Paste Magazine interview: www.pastemagazine.com/article/jane...

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Gary Larson must be deployed.

No. Absolutely not. Legitimately angry at this slander against a perfect bear.

BREAKING Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91. It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post. She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated. Full Story: bit.ly/4pPcNFH

A whopping 38% of Russia’s refining capacity is now offline, according to The Economist. Gasoline output fell by 1 million tons in September which has created a 20% domestic shortfall. Repairs may take months because of sanctions limiting access to parts and tech.

Failed already. Totaled well over nine hours. *bah*

This is the most linguistically bewildered phishing attempt I've received in some time.
