Robocop is a movie about a guy who gets killed on the job and they still made him go back to work

😢 Me too

Just watched a really nicely made 'introduction to BTS' fan video

I keep seeing the AI dude saying now that they've mitigated the mental health issues they can do more adult stuff, and I just wanna know; -what exactly 'mitigated' means -what mental health professionals are measuring that -how it is measured -how much he invested in Age Verification stocks

The Red Weed flowering.

Researchers pointed a satellite dish at the sky for 3 years and monitored what unencrypted data it picked up. The results were shocking: They obtained thousands of T-Mobile users' phone calls and texts, military and law enforcement secrets, much more: www.wired.com/story/satell... 🧵👇

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

I hate how my ADHD means the first step of trying to start a somewhat important project is having to tamp down the feeling of panic of "OH FUCK THERE'S SO MUCH I GOTTA DO" that inevitably leads to yak-shaving and cat-hoovering

If you thought the salmon dna and the snail mucin serums were weird, brace yourself for what you'll be smearing on your face next!

pleasures of the flesh fade, other people however much you love each other will sometimes let you down, the world is filled with sorrows. but from today until the last day of your life, wherever you are if you pay attention there is something new to learn. it's a great comfort.

Unfortunately, to reach 'mostly comfortable without the subtitles' you must pass thru 'the subtitles don't seem quite right', survive 'the subtitles have missed some tragic nuance there' and finally defeat the final boss 'the subtitles are so wrong its infuriating' #godSpeed

We used AI

Holy shit someone uploaded the entire stage play adaptation of the Yakuza videogame series with English subtitles and it’s glorious and 500x better than the Amazon show youtu.be/Z2Msr4si6dU?...

Every once in a while a group of 10-15 tourists vanish without a trace in the Paris Catacombs and then afterward the Eiffel Tower is a few feet taller

Zendaya was funny asf for this 😭

Headed to Bristol today for some jollys. Why is it we do all the good things we meant to get around to right before we leave?

"The rain was cold, pitiless & increasing. A damp, keen wind blew down the cross streets leading from the river. The fumes of the gas works seemed to fall with the rain. The roadway was muddy; the pavement greasy; the lamps burned dimly..." Happy #BookWormSat from Charlotte Riddell (1882) 🎨 Nkabuto

Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm the faceless technician who's job it is to explain what a nanorobot is to the audience in every movie with a magic nanotech liquid metal character. You might have already met my brother, the guy who explains that EMP stands for electromagnetic pulse.

When I was your age, searching for a phrase in quotes returned results for that exact phrase

The Great A’Tuin

give tron to the wachowskis.

OK BlueSky network, can we do the six degrees of Kevin Bacon thing? Does anyone know Ian Livingstone or someone in similar tech/tabletop gaming/boardgame area? I've got a tech demo that I'd love to take further, or at least show to people who might 'get it'. Reposts appreciated.

This was great. "had first dibs on our love," rewired my brain a little. Found family ftw 💕

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

Higgledy piggledy Timothée Chalamet Has a name meriting Endless design Much like his forerunner Benedict Cumberbatch: Hexasyllabically, Easy to rhyme

Friend sending me incredible photos of sunny countryside 30 minutes walk from their door, and gosh, your whole outlook on life can change if you manage to put yourself in better surroundings. Amazing.

Referring to myself as 'the worst thing in the cutlery drawer' from now on 🤣🤣🤣

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out! 🎥@the_story_of_a_biologist (on Insta)

Traian's Curios #dailysketch Day 124 #art #illustration Technically took us two days to make, but I think it paid off. Really happy with how this one turned out!

I think that's not good, but I'm no expert. 🫠

I am so overwhelmed right now with the sheer amount of tasks. And the sheer amount of terrible immigration middle-man excel 'forms' and 'send us your passport by email' nonsense I have to push back on. I was designing better websites in 1998 than this stuff.

I did not have 'speed meds making me tired all the time' on my bingo but here we are for another day! 加油 😅

Battle on Eagle Mountain

On ep 3 of my first Beyond Evil rewatch. Since I now have an idea what happens it's fascinating to see all the little details and character interactions I missed because I didn't understand what they meant first time round. Really clever how it keeps you guessing 😎

Daily bunny no.3100 is just a branch away

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

Okta thwarted the supply-chain attack with security controls it had in place. Zscaler did not. Their experiences provide insights into the root of a much broader problem. via @mattkapko.com cyberscoop.com/okta-zscaler...

Amazing, enthusiastic man. I idolised him so much. If my conference speaking was half as engaging I'd be so happy.

“We would like your feedback” I seriously doubt it.

I think the thing that's weird about Kidman's ex isn't that he said her libido was too much - that's actually a pretty legit mismatch if you aren't feeling it, and it's a little amatonormative to just assume everyone should want that - it's that he's apparently discussing their sex life in public

New comic! Bringing loads of games to game night and only ending up playing one or two small ones... Who else does this? 😂 👀 You can read this week's blog post (it's a long one!) at semicoop.com/comic/beast-of-burden/ #gamenight #boardgames
