People are making a big deal out of the way Trump acted towards Mamdani in their meeting and I'm surprised why people are surprised. Trump is a coward. This is how he always acts. He blusters and threatens but when he's face to face with someone he turns into a kitten who can't say anything bad.

Here is my hot tip for how to use Chat GPT to write in your own voice. Step 1: Open chatgpt dot com Step 2: In the "Ask Anything" text field, just write in your own voice. Step 3: Never hit enter or engage the AI. Step 4: Copy what you wrote out of the text field and paste it where ever you need.

I almost missed it but Happy A Partially Muscled Skeleton Stands by the Perimeter Fence and Screams Day for all those who celebrate.

A curse on the house of everyone who ever wrote a "don't check a bag just bring everything in a carry on" article.

Duo Lingo but for getting on and getting off airplanes and it's mandatory for everyone.

The thing where Irish Americans spend a couple weeks pretending they're gonna learn Gaelic cause "it's the language of their ancestors" except it's me trying to learn a South Jersey accent.

Duolingo but for the Philly accent. Who can make this happen?

I think it might be time to rewatch Madame Web

Streetlights, people

Between SNL and Golden being #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 it has got to be an extremely weird time right now for the Kpop Demon Hunters voice actors.

I hope they make Madame Web 2

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Someone asked me if I could go back in time to live in any period of time when would I go and my first instinct was 1997

I rewatched Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters on a plane and I forgot how much that movie rocks. I also forgot that it's rated R and they drop a lot of f bombs.

There are two wolves inside me. One of them always tells lies. The other cannot lie. They both like big butts.

I started watching Peacemaker and I'm shocked to find out that it's an ensemble piece with a weird little animal guy and a male main character with daddy issues. SHOCKED

My Star Wars Scum and Villainy game this week is doing a podracing episode and we as a group decided one of the racers is named Mento Freshmacher

Not to be weird about it but is there anything sexier than a Galaxy Class starship separating it's saucer section?

It's truly wild to see the whole net neutrality conversation be played out again with payment processors.

This might be a hot take but uh Yoshi is a chicken

Hey one of those people is me!

I keep seeing people say there is no wrong order to read through Brandon Sanderson's cosmere and every time I take that as a challenge.

What a week, huh.

I am kind of obsessed with COVID movies. Movies produced in 2020 and 2021, that have like 3 actors in them who clearly were never in the same location. Lots of weird GCI environments.

I just saw a tiktok that posed the idea that the biggest mistake the Feige had made was putting all their eggs in Jonathan Majors. That's absurd because the biggest mistake Feige ever made as the blip. Infinity War broke the MCU as it was and they haven't figured out a workable formula since.

Right now the thing we call "AI" really isn't. It's a predictive language model. It's not intelligent. It's not sentient. It's not alive. Hypothetically, if it were actually sentient - would you still consider what it does to be theft/plagiarism?

I was reflecting recently that the amount of chicken wings I eat on a regular basis skyrocketed around 2020.

Obviously a James Gunn Batman movie is going to be a full Batfam ensemble movie that skips origins, has quirky music, at least one weird little guy bat family member, and relegate some beloved female characters to minimal side role while focusing on the male lead's parental issues.

I know too many people who are struggling to try to make a living doing creative work and the number of online marketplaces they can sell their work on is slowly dwindling as the massive payment processing corporations decide what is and isn't allowed to be sold.

Last year, Stripe and Paypal forced Gumroad to remove sexually explicit content from their marketplace or risk losing the ability sell anything. Now, in addition to Stripe and Paypal, Visa and Mastercard are leaning on marketplaces like Steam and Itch.io to do the same. itch.io/updates/upda...

I jerked him now

In 2001 Alien Ant Farm dared to ask the question "What if a pop punk band really focused on enunciation"

If only he knew someone who could have done something about that.

Things you can say in Moby Dick and in the bedroom

Rock beats scissors Scissors beats paper Paper beats rock But what beats a Jet2 holiday?

Not that we have a shortage of problems, but a major problem that I don't see talked about is payment processors like credit card companies or Stripe moralizing their payment systems and bullying companies to censor content.

Maybe Pliny shouldn't say such hurtful things about people.

I found my timeline for the stupidest Predator/Terminator/Alien watch order.

God I love The Bear.

I saw a political post on Reddit of Trump's swollen ankles and someone commented that it looks like an American Girl Doll's ankles and the first response to that was "Will Brennan make shoes for this doll?"

See this is the stuff that makes me nervous. You're telling me James Gunn put his foot down and said "My superman needs to be the goodest good boy because Superman shouldn't be dark and gritty" and then turned around and said "but my supergirl, she should be a giggly drunk girl whos a total mess"

I think like 90% of my issues with the Superman movie is that it did Cat Grant kinda dirty.

Are you?

What if I got really into aura farming?

Every episode of The Bear Chef: What if I shot myself in the foot? Chef: ow why does my foot hurt I can't cook like this.
