A List of Things Eaten by Scientists 🧵

“I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

Wow. Impressed. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/b...

With the Canadian Screen Awards in hand, Nirvanna the Band is for sure booking the Rivoli now.

Come on, Vanilla Ice. Do the right thing. Think of your fan.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

Project Hail Mary but with chief scientist Elizabeth Holmes, engineer Elon Musk, and captain Jeff Bezos.

Once they give up trying to fix this with generative AI, should be a fun project counting letters in a word for an intern hire. Right now these seem to individually get fixed after some time, so you have to be novel/random. Maybe it provides some work for a training assistant at least.

The comments section gets fairly rightfully derided for a great deal of toxic, misanthropic chatter, but it also is home to some of the best comedians on the planet.

"I know Kung Fu"

Hot take on Strait of Hormuz.

I hope this isn’t fixed in AC:BF Resynched youtu.be/9pQ_ZozZIio?...

Why would a ROBOT have an ACCENT. Talking about the terminator movie. Sorry this is about 40 years late I've been busy

Attention people of Metro Vancouver!!! You've been warned!!!

Give Henry Cavill a weekend and he could get @mark-carney.bsky.social into Warhammer.

"Well that was fun lads but I guess we should get back to it."

Proud to announce that I am pivoting from being a basic homo sapiens to a generative AI datacentre. Please now pay me 700% more.

No Homers club. But you have Hungary! It's no Homers, plural; we're allowed one.

When I was a child my mother bought a hostess trolley. It looked insane in our cramped little house. But she'd spent the cash and insisted we use it all the time, bumping and scratching as we went. It was, in every way, a worse experience than just carrying stuff yourself. This is a post about AI.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

If Amazon listening to your household is passé for you, the weirdos at Meta apparently want to look at your naughty bits.

California decided operating systems need to know your age but everywhere in NA still sell cars that can go near or beyond 200km/h despite that speed being illegal everywhere and a technology that is much more straightforward to implement. So weird what people get obsessed with.

It’s so cool how we’re in a large-scale military conflict and the President is spending his time building a ballroom. This rocks. I finally know what being a Roman must have felt like.

Sigh. Peaked in high school, as it turns out.

Just outstanding. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

My feed today: Kurt Ferdinand Friedrich Hermann von Schleicher was so much better than this new guy! Kurt Ferdinand Friedrich Hermann von Schleicher was just as bad as this new guy!!!

Excellent suggestions. I also suggest sync.com for those outside of the Linux world.

We should introduce punitive tariffs.

_NOT_ the same guy.

oh no Canada is poorer than Alabama so Canada better do things to become more like Alabama instead of questioning whether or not the way they are measuring this is meaningful or useful

Betting on Jesus returning by 2027 and the Backstreet Boys singing about crypto are kind of the same thing. Speculation and nostalgia are both exit strategies from the present, and neither provides answers. New piece on what happens when the economy grows without… people.

Please allow me to make A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms political. Canada waiting for someone inside the regime to stop the unwarranted attacks on their sovereignty:

Who has two low-poly bumps for hands and just found his 90s computer graphics code? This guy, who is super pleased. Hello greenman, haven't seen you in ages. Hello radiosity room, no one will know how long you took to get working for such a simple image.

Post a banger that isn't in English

So are we all "teens" on Discord until we send Peter Thiel a full body pic with a banana for scale?

Actually did see a superb owl at the weekend. Sorry for the poor shot, very high, very low light, only had my mobile. Not sure what species of superb owl, face sort of looks like a barn owl, when zoomed in but was totally grey in real life.

Momentarily thought this was an oddly specific advertisement.

Liberals and conservatives joining forces, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.
