"What's the worst thing that could happen? Get eaten by 111,000 spiders?" –Man eaten by 111,000 spiders after poking at their nest

Routine is still alive?! I remember being excited for it like a decade ago and then assumed it had become vaporware.

This sounds amazing. "The project will “contain no sponsorships, product placement, or generative AI, and it will be free to listen, with no predatory pay scheme and no login required.” " They do have a Patreon if you want to show support.

This is a rabbit hole well worth falling into. Go down into the replies and up into the quote tweets, and enjoy a fantastic group writing project.

My name is Pagliacci, Clown of Clowns. Look on my works, ye doctors; I despair.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

I miss the days of early Bluesky when we all agreed that putting screenshots of ragebait losers from other websites on each other's feeds was totally Bad and Uncool and behavior Best Left Behind

Was googling anthropologists to interview for our Sapiens episode and randomly learned some etymology fun facts!

"TikTok's algorithm is scary good at predicting what you like, I bet the Chinese gov't will use it to spy on you" Chinese gov't growing increasingly frustrated with me just aggressively liking every baby animal video I see

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

Vrai

They can take our freedom, but they'll never take away our addiction to social media

You couldn’t even make The Jimmy Kimmel Show these days.

Has anybody checked in on the social media free speech absolutists? Are they mad about the government telling a comedian he can't say things, or are they still just mad that the terms of service of various social media platforms won't let them say slurs?

Drawing process, using a symmetry tool always feels rather meditative to me

Timeline cleanse. The description really makes it. "Has functioned in the child's play as, among other things, a guitar and a walking stick. Child has carried the stick around since 2018, so lots of emotional value."

Finnish newspaper interviewed the neighbors of a man accused of a crime: "Some described the man as odd, a little peculiar and overly positive. For instance, the man "always says hi" and insists that things are going well. "Surely everyone's got to have bad days once in a while," one wonders."

Science!

I don't know who needs to hear this but "Google is free" means nothing in today's world where the first page of any search is a bunch of SEO-optimized AI slop masquerading as news and telling you to eat rocks. Stop telling people to google shit if you actually want them to learn something important.

I thought this review had to be written either by AI or a young college graduate taking their first steps as a journalist. Then I read the author's bio, and not only have they been reviewing films since the 1990s, they've written several books about them.

For science!

And another thing! Defunding the arts and education is another direct result of trying to kill empathy. The more people know and understand about the world, the more empathy they have. So you demonize education. You mock it, use words like "nerdy" and "elitist" to make it seem undesirable.

Thinking about the Lindsay Ellis video and empathy. The underprivileged are consistently the class with the most empathy. Those who have little to give still give more to those who have none than do the ones who have it all. Killing empathy is the goal because empathy powers hope and change.

Fantastic video. Difficult but necessary.

Slightly diminish a band: Strongly Worded Letter Against the Machine

The article stops just where I think it should start. What is behind the rise of these divisive formats? Can we predict where they're headed NOW instead of "ask me in 5 years"? I see a connection between people's shrinking free time and the rise of bite-sized, engagement bait entertainment. 1/?

It has taken me, a Finnish person who's into horror, language, Finnish culture, mysteries and layers of meaning, this long to play #AlanWake2 because I just knew I would be completely obsessed with it. Thank you, @remedygames.com

Sure, ChatGPT may be bad for the environment. But is it a good tool to help people advance in their careers? No. But does it provide useful and unbiased information? Also no.

Someone on TikTok talking about an influencer who ignored their kid all day while filming a day-at-the-beach video. Comments were full of ppl guessing "is it so-and-so?" with many different names and OP having to clarify no, it's not. OP never told them to stop guessing and going after ppl though.

If Twitter’s built-in AI spouting anti-semitism while calling itself “MechaHitler” wasn’t enough for you to leave the platform, I have many questions.

As a non-USian, it's not Superman's "boring" personality that turns me off but the glorification of his violent methods. For decades he was equated with "the American way", before Americans woke up to realize that maybe the rest of the world had a different understanding of the phrase than they did.

Every time these Boomer comedians say "you're not allowed to offend anyone these days", they always mean the gays, the transes etc. Maybe Mr. Gilliam could try to be original and make a movie aimed at offending billionaires and MAGA cultists instead of another "silenced by the woke!" routine.

A coworker alerted me to the fact that—starting this week—you now have to buy credits from Adobe to use the generative AI tools in the professional software we already pay a subscription fee to access, even if it generates something worthless…this isn’t a productivity tool, it’s a slot machine.

Probably without Nazis as the bad guys because the US government might object.
