I don't know whether to love or hate the fact that on this streaming service this version of the traditional folk song about a rooster is listed as "The Grey C**k"

OOOOoooooOOHHHHhhh BEEEEeeellllAAAAAA BEEEEEeeellllaAAA's Undeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaadddddd

Spam OTD is from "the Department Government Of United State Of America." Things have degraded to the point that I actually had to think about it for a second.

The "liver, fava beans and a nice chianti" line in Silence Of The Lambs is a little joke for psychiatrists in the audience - those foods cannot be consumed with the meds (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) that Lecter is supposed to be taking.

*Normally, with the tech advent like AI, the kneejerk reactionary response would be "Terrorists, Drug Dealers, Mafia and Kidporn." The legendary "Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse" are the standard four reasons why-we-can't-have that.

I* do see quite a lot of AI-porn reaction, and maybe a little bit of AI hacker-mafia crime reaction, but practically nothing about AI's dire role in terrorism and narcotics.

I already know depression hates to see this man coming. I’m cancelling all of my therapy appointments and adding this song and dance to my morning routine. *Depression no, no, no ALEGRÍA SI SI SI*

What are your top 5 movie genres? mine are: - this was filmed on a photocopier - wait is this paused - high school kids talking like Raymond Chandler characters - I can't tell if this is a documentary or not - yo dawg I heard you like framing devices

Overheard: "WTF ChatGPT? why are you making this weird?"

This is only going be of interest to like three people, but I’m playing Path of Exile and I just did my first Maven invitation. I had to brag somewhere, sorry. Translation: nerd do kind of hard thing in video game.

Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

Good news: If you would like to watch Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants on YouTube I have done a painstaking 4k upscale of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gW...

i really think i saw this on here long ago and now i cant find it and so maybe i made it up but anyway here it is

The rise of AI-as-everything and the rise of violent-extremism-as-politics are two sides of the same coin, and not because of any actual intersection between the people making AI and the people doing extremist politics—they are just the same abdication of doing the work to have an actual society.

Moratorium on 'deluxe limited editions' of SFF books if they don't have notes, introductions, or supplementary material, please and thank you.

lately i've been thinking about how LLMs must feel really amazing to use if you're a dumbass, but incredibly frustrating if you're just basically competent in life.

There's a white-haired couple sitting next to me having the most interesting conversation I have overhead in a long time in this area and it is taking all of my social skills to not pull my chair to their table and desperately plea for them to be my friends.

I hate that I have to repost this but I clearly do

Curious Georg, who lives with the Man with the Yellow Hat & investigates over 10,000 new things each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

I love obscure historical academic beefs. Reading a guy who is clearly SO MAD about an unnamed interlocutor being Wrong about the efficacy of Genoese crossbow strings at the battle of Crécy in 1346.

One of the themes of HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS is that infrastructural systems physically manifest a relationship between people and with the place they live that extends into the future. In nations it’s often by fiat, but in cities it’s because of network effects and because water runs downhill.

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

2025 eligibility post just one thing published this year as I work on a few larger projects but it is a good one! all signal boosts appreciated

You can still get a copy of the limited special edition of THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS from Inkstone btw! Signed, numbered, sprayed edges and other fancy touches. Excellent gift for the bookish people in your life (if I do say so so myself) inkstonebooks.com/product/sain...

Out on December 9, available to preorder fromNewCon Press now. Do you believe in miracles?

I suppose I could have had that conversation with a guy on the bus without saying “never forget; this world is built on blood. Blood and kindness.” but that would have been less fun for everyone involved.

trust is neither given nor earned. it forms naturally between people who share the experience of having listened to Skinny Puppy at or after 3 am in the dark by themselves

The legend lives on from Gila Flats down Of a being called Dr. Manhattan The lab it is said rarely gives up its dead When intrinsic fields start to flatten Now the accident had 26,000 rads Send Jon Osterman past cosmic borders That watchmaker's son set about 1x1 Putting things back together in order

It’s a good essay, but/and I also want to point out that I used that header image in a talk about sex robots and the uncanny valley, which I think is a nice parallel to the essay.

I just said to my partner “I love it when you say mean things; it means I’m about to learn something”. I think there’s a generalized lesson there for a certain kind of relationship.

“I’m only on that platform because everyone else is” is the new “I only read it for the articles”

Spray painted across a wall in rapid script: I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT PLAYING MD3 NOW PROBLEMS. Is md3 a game? A person who got played by the business? Where does the comma go? It is a mystery.

Prince With A Thousand Enemies is some hard shit to name a rabbit

Mister Rogers' magic is so powerful he bent nominative determinism to his reality.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

Admittedly my knowledge of Sikhism is pretty limited but as far as I can tell if two of your religious beliefs are "feed the hungry and always carry a sword" we can probably be friends.

it's only a clique if it's from the warlord period in china, otherwise it's a sparkling friend group

There's an interesting grammatical tense used only to talk about powerful, wealthy people, where they have simultaneously done the thing, are doing the thing, and will do the thing. Totally divorced from the concept of linear time, the only important element is: important person and thing.

Some opinions on genre I will not be explaining at this time: - John Wick is High Fantasy - Every Aliens franchise film is a different genre - David Lynch is Socialist Realism for occultists

Good news, my man Gödel out here still going hard. I'm not sure I agree with the conclusion but there's some interesting stuff here phys.org/news/2025-10...

Yes I did just make a post talking shit about Variety being too white and follow it up with a post about obscure industrial music in-jokes, I am aware of this fact thank you.
