Thought Guillermo del Toro doing a movie about how humans are the real monsters sounded like a no-brainer and then the son of a bitch outdoes himself and makes a movie about how no one is doomed to be a monster instead

Well now Frankenstein is going right to the top of the book pile. Holy shit.

When genAI is used, on however small a part of the project, it is absolute proof that the person is willing to slather hot dogshit on the parts of the project they give the least fucks about. They already did, you can see right there where they did it. It stands out for being so fucking sloppy.

For actual creative projects, those parts that seem most amenable to being automated are the parts that make or break the thing. The devil is in the details, the masterpiece in the grudge work. It's even more important to care about the boring stuff and the small details.

Finally finished Expedition 33. What an incredible game

This moment says everything about why Zohran Mamdani won. A journalist in a wheelchair asked about accessibility and Mamdani didn’t talk down to him, didn’t deflect, didn’t politicize it. He listened. He’s the kind of leader who respects everyone, every faith, every class, every flag.

Panera should make a lemonade that convinces you you're talking to god and then they should get infinite funding from the dullest minds in the Bay Area to market it as tech.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

The New York Times opinion page isn't holding anything back now smh.

This reminded me of this classic post except that everything has gotten far far dumber and more made up

I do regret that this is gonna get cut from a work presentation because it doesn’t fit in the flow.

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

They like Trump and want to help him

Unabashedly love this

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

The rare good news. The future is ours if we want to take it.

To be crystal clear: if the Dems racking up wins today had taken the breathless advice of opinion columnists and thrown immigrants and trans people to the wolves, they would have lost today. They won because they didn’t.

*tapping the sign with great glee*

The lib moms are drawing steel and swearing terrible oaths The lib dads are wearing pride shirts and telling people “you’ll have to get through me” I overheard a grandma use the phrase “those motherfuckers“ So many nonpartisan apolitical regular folks are _mad_.

This is why we so desperately need to take kids (and adults!) to museums and galleries and art shows so they can see the work in the artwork. Seeing Van Gogh’s brush strokes and Charles Schulz’s use of correction fluid up close made me understand and appreciate all art even more.

“”AI” is a failed technology. … LLMs haven’t met any markers of success we’d apply to, well, literally any other technology.” Great article by Ethan Marcotte @ethanmarcotte.com ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/agains...

Your friend came to you because they respect your knowledge and opinion, and outsourcing the answer to a machine is lazy and rude. Just answer them yourself.

I saw someone else on here say the crux of "conservative/Republican" thought for the past 50-plus years has been convincing ppl they should burn down the neighborhood cuz their basement is haunted, and damn if that doesn't feel true. "It's not real, what I'm afraid of, but best to destroy us all."

monster energy is leaving money on the table only branding itself as a drink for students and extreme sports. it's almost a 25 year old brand and those college kids who first tried monster in 2002 are making partner now. hire me as your VP of corporate integration to launch Monster Select

The most wonderful time of the year

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

So much of "cancel culture" discourse is a re-description of the normal functioning of a democracy and public discourse by people who didn't like the results of one, or both, or how it made them feel.

Mamdani: "But there is one thing that I will change: I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light."

Mamdani: "The bigger question is whether we are willing to say goodbye to ... anti-Muslim sentiment that has grown so endemic in our city that when we hear it, we know not whether the words were spoken by a Republican or a Democrat."

Mamdani: "The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as every other New Yorker. And yet for too long we have been told to ask for less than that and to be satisfied with whatever little we receive. No more."

Philip Pullman is bang on the money: AI-scraping is theft. youtube.com/shorts/2XRvF...

We stopped shipping new JavaScript frameworks every week so now I guess we're shipping new AI browsers every week.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

People who wear these in public should be shamed and refused entry to establishments. I am hardline on this.

I am convinced that Sløtface’s “Leading Man” is about Dave Bautista

Imagine a browser where you type in “Taylor Swift” and it doesn’t even admit that her website exists. I write about Atlas, ChatGPT’s new anti-web browser that should come with a warning label. www.anildash.com/2025/10/22/a...

Rails "DIYstack" (kamal, hetzner, etc) hasn't yet solved reliability and trust for the data layer. People running a business on Rails want backups, push-button recovery, zero-config HA (like Heroku PG premium). You can do a managed DB but you're stuck on hyperscalers then.

This article by @quinnypig.com nails it www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/a...

Good boy is an excellent 3/5 art piece. Put more weird 70m movies in theatres!

God I love Philly so much

Know something that’s never down due to AWS? A gosh dang newspaper.

Please don’t write on the paper that I’m dying www.theverge.com/news/802474/...

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

Love that we’re firmly on the path for Blade Runner 2049 becoming a documentary youtu.be/g6u33j_T5VQ?...
