I wish that I was shown this song in time for Halloween. It is the horniest spooky song I've ever heard. I suppose it works year round if you're lucky enough to be dating a witch. music.youtube.com/watch?v=_P5d...

Some cats like it when you go pspspspsps. Is that ASMR?

Welcome to the resistance,... Donald Trump?

Maybe we can get liberals to understand AI is bad if we start calling it AE (Artificial Epstein) instead? It's a sycophantic tool that doesn't understand stuff but steals money to make profit for a bunch of sex pests and is deeply connected to both tech bros and financial services.

Interviewer: No, see that was a hyperbolic example of the kind of awful thing that's obviously bad. Roblox CEO: And it's brilliant. We're going to put dev resources into this idea now.

So, why was travel to Talos IV banned by a special secret order? Seems like normal prime directive stuff to leave a planet alone if that's what the locals want should be sufficient.

I gotta say, as annoying as the reactions were, getting my flu and covid shots a week apart really made it less awful this year. Strong recommend to anyone who feels like shit so badly they're considering not getting one of them.

Not two weeks after a democratic socialist is elected mayor of New York City, 86 Democratic House members vote to 'condemn socialism.'

It boggle my mind how some people think the author approves of every word that comes out of their characters' mouths. Y'all, villains say villainous things. Making sure they have good arguments is just quality characterization, not me trying to convince you they're right. #booksky #amwriting

I don't gatekeep transness. If you say you're trans, you're trans. Whatever your gender(s) is (are), there you go. You know you best. It doesn't matter to me if you medically transition or not. Some people will need to, and some people won't, and some people will want to, and some people won't.

Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer who wrote code for a machine that didn't exist yet, described her work as "poetical science". She thought pure math missed the true essence of a thing so a process of observation, analogy, integration, and presentation was required to tell the full story.

Oh, hey, the management over at @mozilla.org are shitting the bed again. They've decided to go big on AI despite how much pushback they've gotten from users every step of the way when trying to add AI. No matter how much they fail, they keep on chugging. blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/r...

He was so tired of people using Grok to dunk on him by calling him wrong or pointing out someone else was an expert in the field while Musk wasn't that the latest version of Grok now requires it describe Musk as the best at everything. It's hard to imagine a more pathetic person.

I think it’s at once gross and crass that the Democrats are using Trump’s threats of killing them as a fundraising opportunity. “This is not normal” is not cutting it 10 months into his presidency, what are you actually gonna do about it?

Gavin Newsom will not become president but a lot of people will betray their friends to support this vain creature

Art commissions were always historically a luxury. you wanna flex? show your tiddy comms

I hope GNUTaler expands quickly as I believe it offers a proper solution that essentially cuts out the card networks altogether www.taler.net/en/features....

That's a good start, but Harvard itself on an institutional level is just as compromised as he is. A whole lot of Summers' colleagues gotta see the fucking door. For instance, every single person who Epstein met in his 40+ visits to Harvard *after his 2008 conviction*.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. . Here’s why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: buff.ly/MlAq0rL

Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

I think part of what we’re seeing with the backlash on the right against Trump is that he’s now being seen more and more as part of the establishment, which is very different than his first term. This is not necessarily a good thing, as it’s becoming clear the alternative may be even worse.

I'm pretty sure Cat Planet Cuties was made for me specifically. It's a stupid ecchi about a busty alien catgirl who is poly and the show is loaded with classic sci-fi references. Nothing would make me happier than bonding with others who enjoy it. It'd be depressing to imagine that never happening.

On my TOS rewatch, I just hit the episode Miri. I do not envy anyone who had to grow up in the era of child actors on TV.

I hope we get a Kanto form sudowoodo to explain these things.

Everyone understands that there's nothing in the Epstein Files that will result in jail time, right? They did creepy and misogynistic stuff, including rape. But the system is rigged to make sexual abuse nigh impossible to prosecute. That's before statute of limitations or evidentiary concerns.

I'm not a big comic book guy. I mostly watch YouTubers talk about them, so maybe I'm just unaware of this being the norm in comics. But I never expected to be wowed by panel layout, background colors, or a gimmick based on physical paper being sorta transparent when you light it from behind.

I'm trying to set up a TV antenna. After learning that the first channel I was testing was nothing but commercials, I went to the last station on the list and saw people shooting snake lasers at each other? This acting can only come from syndicated sci-fi, so it's working. Hooray!

Plugging it in to a robotgirl then using it like a stim toy.

Realized last weekend that I just turn into a cat when I’m drunk. I couldn’t stop nuzzling and affectionately headbutting my friends. 💗

A colorless green idea, you say?

Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana, was the only no vote. 2 Republicans and 3 Democrats weren't present. The other 216 Republicans and 211 Democrats voted yes.

How much you wanna bet there is sport betting based on those streams?

Now that Sundar Pichai has declared AI a bubble that no company is safe from, it's time to update your resumé. For example, guitar playing could be useful.

1. Ed Zitron publishes that reporting on AI has been using numbers from press decks instead of real numbers. 2. Softbank bails on Nvidia 3. Peter Thiel bails on Nvidia 4. Epstein Files remind people who runs AI 5. Sundar Pichai calls AI a bubble that no company is safe from Great week for AI

Sundar Pichai when saying AI is a bubble that no company is safe from.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

The internet was designed in such a way that communication would be resilient against nuclear attacks taking out major cities and attacking high priority nodes directly. But it can't withstand capitalism.

My cat died around a year ago. Amazon told me they created a memorial page for her. They still recommend cat food, treats, and litter. You'd think they'd at least pivot to suggesting kitten stuff.

“The difference is we don’t protect Bill Clinton!” We have literally known he’s a repeat sexual predator for decades and he still does the keynote at DNC events. Bullshit. Both parties defend predators. Both parties ELEVATE predators.

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

I know that "man the future sucks I was promised rocket cars" is old hat but fuck me, "the AI that runs the bank's fraud department denied my transaction because it believed my tastes in porn were wrong" is some esoteric dystopian bullshit

I could never be a real writer because it makes me sad when bad things happen to my blorbos, even when I know it'll get better. They're just silly lil things, they don't deserve that.

Controversial opinion: I do not think convicted rapists should be sent to the Everglades concentration camp either. Not even the worst humanity has to offer should be subject to that.

thanks linus torvalds

So just to be clear if you’re a famous comedian or writer (and white) “death threats” give you a three day suspension. But if you’re a disability advocate (and Black) it’s a perma ban?

How does Blue Prince only have best indie and best debut indie nominations? It's a genre defining game on par with Myst that combines disparate trends into a new package like other games that have swept awards in the past.

The full count as of today: YouTube suspended Twitch banned 3x Patreon suspended (temporary) Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi) Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?) Buy Me a Coffee suspended Vice reporting censored Pornhub censored 3x times Fansly censored 1x

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them. What the fuck are we?
