I'm not saying Bluesky shouldn't let anyone but their PR flacks (if they have any) post on official company handles, but their employees make a tremendous case for such restrictions & to be honest, their VC investors should be demanding that employees be more careful about besmirching their brand.

Hell is real, and it's a box on the LA Comic Con floor:

This could be Earth, but humanity* is playin'

Assuming Lou bought another car:

Dollar Tree Trent Reznor:

Yeah not shocked, they turned up at SDCC every year I attended in the mid 00s under the guise of selling his non-religious books, but they also had Dianetics on hand, so they were as subtle and incognito as driving framing nails with a sledgehammer.

For real though, I don't get why major news orgs aren't clamoring to report on OpenAI mathematically showing that LLMs will always confidently lie & Apple showing that reasoning models don't reason, if only to save their own jobs in journalism, short of every outlet being captured by wealth too.

ok but jokes really *aren't* allowed on bsky

Me: IDK if I got the juice for an album right now & I did get my back catalog up on Bandcamp this year. Also me: 6 song starts for a Dn'B LP, knowing I've done 10 full songs in 2 weeks before, even after I lost my "killing time on the commute"-time & with a folder full of lyrics to record too.

It's August 2000, summer break. The course of your life is changing because you watched a well-edited promo for an anime at around midnight. You're going into junior year of high school a different person because of it. You'll meet new people & make new friends. This is your fork in the road.

As soon as they saw my hand go up, @hyakushiki0087.bsky.social shouted “That’s evil”

Yeah they’re pivoting

i should've given ezra klein the atomic wedgie he so clearly deserves when i had the chance

This is FINE, everything is FINE We worked with a bunch of talented animators and artists on a music video for The Living Tombstone’s remix of Everything is Fine!!! CHECK IT OUT NOW!

congratulations on making it in the game to the shark from Jaws and Dwight from The Office, who respectively ranked #254 and #4,693 on the survey of “characters Magic the Gathering players most want a set of cards to feature”

Oh my god Sony you are the stupidest fucking studio to ever exist

this is code for "ABC and our advertisers threatened to fuck us into the next dimension" lol the last paragraph is shit they told ABC they want and it reads like ABC told them to eat shit

I'm still looking for work! I'm a multidisciplined jack-of-all-trades with specialties in marketing, social media, customer support, and especially "making sure your copy sounds good, makes you look good, and that you're not saying anything you shouldn't" I'm grateful for any leads! 🙏

This is the good Azuki, folks. It's a great service.

It's true. Against absolutely all odds, the time-traveling bowling anime from one of Momentary Lily directors, is some how in the same conversation as shows like Train to the End of the World, Do It Yourself! and Kamichu! It's part of that rich tradition of strange, one-of-kind, yet familiar anime.

Get a copy of this if you're a weirdo (complimentary) and learn how committing one (1) murder can get you a late-life performance career.

That's around entry level software dev wages via a contractor company over a decade ago & those folks got paid vacation & health insurance through their contractors. WWE Superstars are out here making less than new CS grads writing SQL in the break room cause they don't get an assigned desk.

TIL there's a huge major comedy show in Saudi Arabia happening and also that Zach Woods remains a king

This language, "Amazon blamed AI for layoffs," is extremely fucked. It frames the act as an inevitability, as if magical AI is some kinda reverse-Stork for jobs, swooping in and disappearing people. Oh and to then hire H1-B is just hyper-fucked. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

For all the dunking on @crunchyroll.com about their trainwreck Dirty Pair release, I keep forgetting their app just doesn't work on my Pixel 7a, and hasn't for over a year. Doesn't matter what I do uninstall, clear cache, or reset things at that. It's just busted period.

so long doug bowser

"THESE WILL ALWAYS BE MADE I WILL MAKE THEM I WILL HELP YOU MAKE THEM"

Bad naming/description on the product listing, but I'm kind of tempted to get a similar door knob for my home office door lol.

So glad I threw money at a pre-order for this.

Posted this before but IMO it should be mandatory consumption: how an ASML EUV lithography machine works to create the microchips that exist in all our devices as well as our ballz. youtu.be/B2482h_TNwg

You are not ready for how great this Kimmel impression is, both vocally and physically:

OpenAI announcing a new benchmark for gen AI isn't at all desperate. Don't worry, they didn't make it super obvious, they just put their latest model, GPT-5, in second-place, behind a competitors model but still ahead of their old models. Absolutely pathetic. openai.com/index/gdpval/

If you think I am exaggerating, Junji Ito's comics appeared in Monthly Halloween, a shojo manga magazine. See that girl on the cover there? That is who Junji Ito was making comics for.

Late: Convention attendees should try to volunteer for their local anime con (even as a gofer) at least once in their lifetime. It will make you a much kinder person.

Given that they've been doing Limewire merch & the whole saga surrounding the "left over" Fyre Festival merch ending up in the hands of a crypto guy after an "auction" (likely actually directly handed off from the organizers to a friend in the same social club,) this is a weirdly fitting match up.

go watch the onion mockdoc at clinton street theater and then get totchos at dots across the street after, bing bang boom

Reminded of a "tale" about food safety at Jeno Paulucci's factories from my dad's time as a local news cameraman. Jeno did a press conference, opening a can of something to show it's safe, but there was dead grasshopper right on top. Before any camera could snap focus, he grabbed & ate it. "Tasty!"

I wrote this as a joke, but it made GQuuuuuuX hit better for me instantly lmao. I can also view it as being structured vaguely like Hamlet/The Lion King, in which case the relative sidelining of Machu & Nyaan makes sense as they're our Rosencrantz & Guildenstern/Timon & Pumbaa.

Columbo would've worked out Sakura's secret about Clow Card collecting in one episode, maybe a two-parter, but kept it under his hat as he'd also work out it was important to the fate of the world. Would've hauled off Terada-sensei in cuffs though.

Smokin that earthnoid shit Kush weighed down by gravity Got me arguing with Dren over what amphibious mobile suit would be best to eat

LOL, and I might I add, LMAO. Crunchyroll is going to learn the same hard way Amazon did that weebs don't like or use apps that are paid add-ons to existing subscriptions.

"Their souls may be weighed down by gravity, but these gold bars ain't, ha ha. Shorty said she couldn't carry the weight; dropped a colony just to remind the OPs who they're dealing with." -
