(Peter voice) "welcome to @fivefourpod.bsky.social, the podcast all about the Supreme Court cases that are destroying our liberties like Afroman destroyed those cops' reputations."

Beluga, the stuffed manatee that my parents gaslit me into believing was a beluga whale, despite the fact that manatees and belugas are two distinctly different colors.

Logging back on to BlueSky solely to say that if this sci-fi/fantasy ARC novel doesn't do anything interesting with the time travel aspect, I will THROW HANDS.

Finally saw 'Superman' yesterday. While James Gunn is not entirely off of my shitlist (I remember GOTG 3, motherfucker), apparently I will forgive a remarkably messy movie that seems to go out of it's way to avoid a PG rating if there's an absolutely unhinged Nicholas Hoult performance and/or a dog.

Big Tech's emissions increased 150% in just 4 years, "thanks" to the exploding electricity demands of slop-bucket LLMs that boil lakes to rephrase the internet Generative AI is worse than useless; it is making it impossible for us to limit climate change www.energymonitor.ai/news/interna...

spending a week helping grandma help recuperate from a hospital visit has made it so that I now have stronger opinions about game shows. (America Says slaps, Bingo Blitz is broken as hell, The Wall gets on my nerves, Cash Cab also slaps, and Beat the Bridge is a fucking embarrassment to game shows)

There's this little ten year old girl sitting at the table across from mine, just VIBING to "Pink Pony Club." Like, yeah. I get it, kid.

our annual Presidents’ Day lesson remembering the 3 US presidents who died of a waterborne illness.

We had a big OCLC cataloging webinar today. It warmed my heart that as the presenters were talking about all the cool things you can do with AI, the general vibe in the chat was "this fucking sucks."

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

Ukrainian Eurovision national selection is being broadcasted from a bomb shelter, cause there may be a war, but this country does not plan to suck at Eurovision ever

Ireland 2024 Eurovision: dark, semi-industrial, gothic witchy vibes, gloomy and dramatic Ireland 2025 Eurovision: 🌟 it's a dead dog partyyyyy 🪩🎉

#25TitleTracks #MusicChallenge 3. Kenny Rogers - "The Gambler" A classic for a reason. I love a good country music story song. This is a peak example of that + an infinitely singable chorus (you gotta know when to hold em) youtu.be/7hx4gdlfamo?...

You ever read a book and think "wow, this is really good, I do not want to talk about this with any straight white man that I have not personally vetted?"

#25TitleTracks #MusicChallenge 2. Blackpink - "Kill this Love" EPs count, simply because so many k-pop and j-pop artists are allergic to releasing full albums www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S24...

#25TitleTracks #MusicChallenge 1. The Chicks - "Wide Open Spaces" who's ready for me to be the only damn person in this challenge to include country music, lmao (i hope i am proven wrong!!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=dom7...

“how is this lowering the price of eggs” as a gotcha is totally empty!! when have they cared about hypocrisy!!! they campaigned on punishing the freaks and they’re doing it!!! shut da fuck up!! how about showing some solidarity instead!!!!!!!

A rare Mississippi win

Mom look I'm anime.

My absolute hatred of The Home Edit has joined up with my disgust at Extreme Makeover Home Edition to just make an exceedingly reprehensible Megazord that seems to be always on at the gym.

look at this absolute unit

And again. More pictures of HIM on this TL. When he has a platform all for that. Stop it. Or at least put his name in the alt text. You're giving him free promo. Jeez, this place is Not Good Right Now.

Games night last night, where we played Root. As someone who is a noted hater of games that have ten billion fiddly bits, I can make an exception for that sort of game if no one knows what the fuck they're doing. Maybe we played it right??

As penance for forgetting about this app for months on end, I give Cornelius.

one of the librarians at the school I work at is all in on AI and I'm like girl.... if you're waiting for AI to get good enough to do the inventory you made me clean up reports for and then proceeded not to do, that's not going to happen.

My current favorite publishing trend is Disney realizing that the reskinned modern AU market can get them money, and because they're Disney, they can get away with barely fudging the details

Continuing my dad book era. The War of 1812 was wild, y'all. Featuring a good dog, a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe bullshit, and the Brits having problems in the Falklands (but not that time).

If you see this, post Muppet

IT MAY BE ARTAFICIAL BUT IT AINT INGELLIGENCE - dashare.zone ADMIN

once again, I am asking anyone even tangentially associated with the Hugos to read literally any manga.

I wish Emma Stone a very "do not log into social media for the next week."

The tiniest ball known to man

only coming back to this site because I have nowhere else to share my deranged Eurovision thoughts (Spain for frontrunner, Finland is making it out of the semis whether you like it or not, Germany has one again stopped trying)

Taskmaster UK people, I am BEGGING YOU to watch the newest episode of Taskmaster NZ that drops next week, because the "write a diss track about the opposing team" task is one of the best moments in the entire franchise.

I should be given a medal for not replying "are you fucking high" when seeing someone recommend goddamn Brigadoon to someone getting into older movie musicals.

The library being "the last real third space" isn't a reason to keep adding new responsibilities to the library; it is a reason to create more third spaces.

okay but literally all The Last Voyage of the Demeter had to do was NOT say "btw this is about Dracula" in the first five minutes AND YET......

youtu.be/_SWyfEnHnzM?... Dj, happy new year

2024 will mark the 20th anniversary of this great British masterpiece. If you’ve ever fancied revisiting it I can heartily recommend the magnificent audiobook, read by the never less than wonderful Simon Prebble.

Here’s Princess Emeraude from the greatest Giant Robot Magical Girl Isekai manga ever

Doctor Who is truly at it's best when it's stupid as hell.

The holiday sangria has been drunk and in true thriftiness, is being repurposed into holiday mimosas.

I don’t want to alarm anyone but, there’s an ill omen on the wind

My second hottest music take is that "Cupid" by Fifty Fifty is the best song of the year. My hottest take is that the Twin version is inferior because it cuts out that adorable rap break, and American radio is lesser for making that one popular.

The people in the Facebook 12ft Skeleton Owners Group are on an unsustainable trajectory of absurdity and I’m 100% here for it
