judging by the unabated cries of “up the fuckin wahs!” this evening, I’m guessing the warriors either won, lost, or drew the game against another team

"Gone is the notion that striving will result in a better station in life (for you). Gone is the accumulation of wealth and property (for you). Gone even is very the concept of ownership (for you). Those things exist only for us now. They are our cross to bear."

here come old laptop he come bootin up slowly he got broken touchpad he need one more update he got no space on this pc one thing i can tell you its got no warranty

30 headlines in 16 days plz sign petition. only 10 days left. just stumbled across this clip & Sam Troth [theroadtohealing.co.nz]. Sam's petition seeks to ban CHARACTER REFERENCES from consideration when sentencing sexual offenders. my god NZ needs this NOW petitions.parliament.nz/cf986021-083...

not now, powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake

listening to a book in which the author lists several examples of a thing and says “I could go on”, and then says “I’m going to go on”. absolutely incredible, zero notes

okay but how about you don’t yum my yuck huh, ever think of that

every empire in history was either a persia or a mongolia. rome was a persia, alexander's empire was a mongolia. charlemagne's empire was another mongolia, but the HRE was a persia. despite being conquered by mongols and ruled by the descendants of genghis khan, the great yuan was actually a persia.

if it’s bishop vs luxon is that a chrisis of leadership

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

today I learned that in Spanish, Treebeard is called Barból (barba = beard, arból = tree) and I am besotted

ME: so we have to carry these shiny germ bricks with us everywhere in case our brains go ding and there’s stuff to tell the others ALIEN: why ME: because the number of hearts from the others under our weird brain dings is a measure of our sexual prowess ALIEN: oh no ME: [hangs head] i know

I don’t watch the pitt but she was good in fight club

on this day in 1970, the band America was founded by 15th century Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci

remembered a good tweet

fuck off fireworks

how long before the fucking cops kill someone doing 70km/h down the Kent Tce cycle lane

how long have you been 17 vampire who got turned on a leap day: well depends how you count it

about time someone called that motherfucker out

the only question is which of the stations of the cross this should replace

Isn’t it weird how “AI literacy” being pushed on students isn’t about learning how it works, the cost of how it works, learning to spot disinformation, media and tech literacy. But instead is just “employers will like it if you get it to write your emails :)”

just watched the scene in LotR where Arwen turns the river into horses and it occurs to me that technically she defeated the Nazgûl with hippopotamuses

*sees Jesus in the street* he is rizzin’ indeed

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

publisher: “sorry, what did you call the bear?” a a milne: “winnie the pooh” publisher: “sounds like a load of horse shit”

Further to this: I saw a take about AdP asserting that their brand of papier-mâché microtonal math rock is a reaction to AI saturating the formulaic space of traditional music. This is close but I think it’s not the music itself but its reception that is the reaction. We hunger for weird.

with angine de poitrine so surgically hitting my tickle points I can finally understand how normal people feel when eg a chappell roan situation happens

Jesus is dead for a bit, post nudes

as an autistic person, if your company makes a product I get used to (the taste, the fit, the texture), it is your responsibility to keep making exactly the same product available to me until I die, and to do otherwise is ableist nonsense.

My best friend spent 3 months watching this back in 2022. There’s an article out there that says that they are the only film critic to ever make the claim that they sat down to watch the entire thing and it’s “impossible to know” if they actually did.” I was there, they totally did, and wrote this:

my neighbour is trying to learn how to play Creep on the piano by ear and it’s excruciating

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

listen up 5x engineers, a 10x engineer is speaking

SESAME STREET EXEC 1: kids love bright colours, so how about a bunch of humanoid puppets in red, green, blue, orange, yellow SESAME STREET EXEC 2: ooh what if the yellow one had a head like a banana? SESAME STREET EXEC 1: I love it, yes. banana head DIVERSITY HIRE GOTH: there should be a vampire

Make sure to rotate your pronouns periodically, so that if your gender becomes compromised, attackers can only access it for a short period of time.

Yesterday I made a short film in 24 hours for the 24CHCH26 filmmaking competition, and it ended up winning the top prize! Here is the film - animated in Blender, despite about a thousand crashes

i’ve literally watched this like 30 times since last night and it only keeps getting more funny

who called it ai video generation and not slop motion

I dreamed I was doing an escape room with a mystery prize and the prize turned out to be if you solved the escape room you won the soul of someone who didn’t, except — twist! — they’ve been stuck in the prison dimension so long they instantly try to kill you.

“in god we trust” to be replaced with “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MONEY!”

me: ok, ready? one, two, three gandalf: blue velvet me: blue velvet *we do a high five*

Ah fuck I just realized we missed the 2024 Irish Reunification Star Trek timeline window.

I’m assuming at some point there’ll be a KPDH stage musical, which conceivably could put Ejae in line for an EGOT?

Hot take here, and not the point of the article, but this is only worthwhile if it improves health outcomes for patients. Instead, this is signalling shorter appointments, less attention to patient needs, but no decrease in consultation fees, with the extra money going to private enterprise.

in my efforts to learn spanish without Learning Spanish, I’ve picked up a dreadful habit I’ve dubbed “espanification”, where I just mutate an English or French word and hope that etymology backs me up. It’s about 10% successful
