That sleeping photo is fake. The real one is not as bad. Let's not be sharing fake crap if we can avoid it

I think I'm done with Wired. They're going more in on AI, and their posting online is way too spammy.

You know, if it happens in the middle of the night, most phones will be set on silent. Maybe I should make an app that has only one purpose, and that's to alert you, regardless of where you are or what time it is.

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

MICHAEL is incredible. Entire audience singing. A full theater dancing nonstop. Children throwing their popcorn and sodas at the screen. Dogs barking at max volume. Multiple couples sucking and fucking in full view. Statues of Mother Theresa shattered with hammers. It’s perfect.

Looking at the DCL cost, the 50% off kids deal is actually pretty significant. A 7-night oceanview (INCLUDING daily gratuities because I'm not stupid) goes from to $316 to $286/person/night. (Savings over $600) Comparing anything other than person/nights is just a fool's errand.

I was reading a Kickstarter update about the Jim Varney documentary I backed. There was a section added about the AI upscaling they used in the trailer, but how they're not going to use it going forward. They then linked to this... www.npr.org/2021/07/16/1... EEEESSSHHH. NO. BAD AI. STOP.

Electricity billing is such a scam. This month I'm on track to reduce my usage by almost 50%, but my projected bill is only going to go down about 25%. I get time-of-use costs and such, but it feels counter-productive to cut costs disproportionately.

Disney and Pixar have partnered with Kellogg's for a classic callback to childhood fun; For the first time in over a decade, physical in-box toys are returning to select cereal boxes in celebration of Toy Story 5…

The Zune tattoo guy seems to be doing ok. Covered up one of his 3 Zune tattoos with Dick Cheney as the devil. www.reddit.com/r/Zune/comme...

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

Come on

I hated serial killers until I got that first rush of my hands squeezing tighter and tighter around a helpless delicate neck

Whatever happened to everyone freaking out about those mysterious drones?

The Captain Jack lineup over the years makes me think they're the captains of the ship of Theseus.

Imagine lying about partnering with BRUNO MARS my god. Amazing scoop.

I thought this felt relatable

The not-a-war is going well

Any reasonable article about how Tropicana Orange Juice is manufactured year round, plus the fact that modern oranges are basically bags of sugar, probably should also be read.

104.3-2 in LA is no longer Pride Radio. It's now Dodger Talk. At least there's still Channel Q and Firelane. I'm not LGBT myself but Pride Radio had good music.

I FUCKING CALLED IT! bsky.app/profile/krag...

I've never seen a developer resist a collection so much

Even if it's dead, just remember all Republicans tried to take away the right for married women without passports to vote.

Barely 50% of non-voters want him impeached.

God damn...

They think you're stupid.

You’re not supposed to point lasers at airplanes because the pilots are actually cats

I'm still super pissed at California's rollout of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. They passed funding for it when my kid was born, and the little tyke is going to be aged out before a single book is sent to us. Only a handful of kids in the state have access to it. laist.com/news/educati...

"Democrats need to do ANYTHING" Meanwhile they're actually drafting up new districts and getting voters to vote on them. You know, things within their power. Not just running around screaming "25th" uselessly.

A day later, my Hue setup broke again, only after I factory reset my Smart Things hub and added it again. RMAd the Hue bridge. Ordered a V3 Smart Things hub to replace this old one. Both arriving Friday. Gotta be low-tech until then.

The new Onion video is pretty much on point, but don't ignore their "Top News" section.

I'm not sure when Facebook is going to shut down, but I feel like it's going to be sudden when it happens. A recent notification is now defaulting all my posts to use AI generated titles? They're DESPERATE to increase engagement on a dying platform, just as much as they're scrambling to use AI.

I wanted to see the new Mummy movie but the title spoils the ending.

… The administration is now all in on saving the non-existent women

Listening to a podcast about the history of the Power Glove and VR, and man, AI really killed innovation. There's no new fun gadgets. It's all just "what if you could tell a computer what you want it to lie about?"

Starting to wonder if Tim Cook is stepping down because he doesn't want to be holding the bag when the AI bubble pops, since even Apple has been struggling with it.

it's really heart breaking and totally obvious to every American Jew that there is a whole sale effort to push Jews out of America's political and cultural life in ways big and small and its largely been successful

Robert F. Kennedy’s voice returned to an articulated, velvety-smooth timbre upon spitting up a launch title for the Nintendo Switch. paletteswap.site/dif...

Talking Point: "We, The Consumers, Need To Vote With Our Wallets" - The Moral Dilemma Of Supporting SNK In 2026.

Well, 3 hours later, I've readded all my lights and dimmers. My Hue Bridge Pro no longer connects over Wi-Fi. And my Smart Things Hub no longer works, either. They BOTH died at the same time today. Thankfully, I had a Smart Things Station, so I transitioned everything over there. Still not done yet

How in the hell did all my smart devices decided to get fucked up at the same time?

Cold calling for "we're going to be doing home repairs in your area" has to be one of the most depressing jobs out there. No one feels good, neither the customer nor the caller.

I own every Infinity era movie in 4K steel book AND 3d Blu-ray. I obsessively re-watched them all before Infinity War AND Endgame. Having to rewatch it in theaters for like 30 seconds of footage, that could've been in a trailer or Disney+ special, sounds exhausting and desperate. I'm good.

No more Tim Apple!

I can actually spot all the places they've removed benches

Scientists invented a fake disease, and AI fell for it. Researchers in Sweden created a fictional itchy eye condition called “bixonimania” to test how easily false medical information could spread through AI systems and scientific literature. youtube.com/shorts/bhaKg...

I think this one is how you can tell that Karp and Thiel view "religiosity" primarily as a tool for hoodwinking rubes. This is the same as that shit where Thiel is like, "you hogs believe in the antichrist right? Well, the antichrist would be IN FAVOR of tech regulation."

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?
