I also thought I was losing my mind

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

While the paper hasn't come out just yet, the news certainly has. Proud to announce our discovery of color patterning in a sauropod dinosaur. Will go in depth tomorrow.

Remember when Oprah shot her friend Gayle on what was supposed to be a one way trip into deep space and what she saw there beyond the veil of stars from where no one before has ever returned, changed her

I love it when my phone updates and I have to go hunting for ways to turn off all the horrible new features that they've installed without asking. And by "love it" I mean I hate it. Can we please just get software updates that have security and compatibility fixes and everything else is optional?

A reminder that Iron Circus is gonna get WALLOPED with Baker & Taylor bankruptcy backdraft for the next several months, turning our usual distro payout into bills. If you'd like to help a small business making weird-ass comics weather the storm, a 💥30% OFF💥 sale is on now! store.ironcircus.com

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

There are well upwards of a BILLION dollars (of OUR money) this year funneled to projects designed specifically to make Trump feel Good about himself: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... Trumps private and public furious response to the onrush of media coverage about his mind, health, age, sleep…

STRANGER THINGS. SORCERER!!!!

We could start just by bringing back shame. You called for the US military to be set loose on 🇺🇸 citizens. You called for our NATO allies to sell us their land. You held up a public servant's nomination so long she died of cancer before taking office. You're no longer welcome in polite society.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

My apple music recap thing is kind of terrible and inaccurate, so here's just a few new albums that I enjoyed listening to this year: The Midnight - Syndicate Florence and the Machine - Everybody Scream Wet Leg - Moisturizer NIN - Tron: Ares

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

Finally watched the first three episodes of Stranger Things (not the fourth, so no spoilers please!) and...

How did I not know about this???

people: can we have insulin Reps: WE STAND AGAINST STALIN FOREVER

It's tough to top their debut crowd-pleasing hit, "I Am Gonna Claw Out Your Eyes (And Drown You)" but they did it! I absolutely love these games and the soundtracks are incredible from start to finish, but this boss fight is the most fun by far.

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

The ThotBot experience is amazing and I can't recommend it enough if you're in the Boston area.

Nobody wants this shit. Nobody. The hostile reaction has been so pronounced, in fact, that it feels like a company announcing it would never force AI into its products would carve out a pretty good chunk of the market.

To anyone dismayed about not getting Muppet Knives Out don't worry because they basically already did that in 1979 with Liza Minnelli and it's a perfect (Emmy-nominated!) episode of TV that you can enjoy right now!

Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.

Hello! today is 🎂🎉MY BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎂 For my birthday, plz read what is up of my webcomic/signal-boost this skeet? It would mean a lot to me! Only 50 pages so far. It hasn't updated in ages, but I'm still working on it. Updates will resume when the backlog reaches 50 pages. blikada.com?pg=1#showComic

holy shit

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Seriously. Why are we dismantling NASA to hand more money to a racist rich guy who blows up like 95% of the rockets his company builds?

Elon Musk killed these people. The racism of the republican party killed these people.

Not impeaching and removing every official involved with this remains one of the biggest failures of constitutional governance ever, and there is a direct line from that to where we sit today.

I was thinking about Zohran’s transition team and today’s anti-feminist piece in the New York Times, and my mother’s book on the first generation of women to work in the city government in New York City. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

Okay, fuck Chik-fil-A, obviously. But if we could get a Culver's up in here, pretty sure even townies would learn to love and accept our custard overlords. And it would fill the gap left by Friendly's horrible mismanagement for, oh, the last 20+ years.

Continued Halloween movie watching last night and got to Near Dark, which I'd somehow never seen. Impressive, gritty, nihilist vampire western. Kathryn Bigelow sets up a bunch of visual work that James Cameron then uses in T2 four years later. Maybe Bill Paxton's best role (apologies to Hudson)??

This. And this again.

Yesssssssss

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.
