buy physical media

Two years ago. Prompt was "normal human family doing normal family things". #MoreInnocentTimes #MakeAIShitAgain

holy shit!

Before social media I would worry when strange things popped into my head. Now I worry when they don't.

I wish Matt Taibbi great suffering.

Please enlarge the graph. Then look at Shonen Jump. Then look at how much income comes in from book sales. Then look at Spider-Man and Batman.

This graph is killing me.

Because again the core issue wasn't actually jobs in these fields going to people 'because woke' but that there were no jobs to be had at all.

I love the fact that all the things that kill us - salt, fat, starch, sugar, alcohol - are OK-to-unpleasant alone, but they become synergistically more delicious the more you combine them. Our tastes and innovations are evolutionarily perverse.

Really looks like the robot keels over laughing after kicking him in the nuts

perfect

@dieworkwear.bsky.social is there any way I can contact you about a work matter? it's kind of related to this.......

The Abraham Accords should be viewed as a Metternichian reactionary alliance in MENA.

- wash dishes - watch paint dry - sit and contemplate which foot is best to put forward when springing into action - find a nail in your wall, pull it out, fill the hole with putty, watch it dry, then put the nail back in so many things that are better than arguing on the internet

You could just mute that man. Really. Mute or block and get on with your day

my theme for 2026: read more, post less, listen most

In 2026, I'm really going to embrace my Miss Piggy era and karate chop annoyances with reckless abandon.

You'd better have your ear defenders ready because I'm going to be shouting about this one a lot.

You can’t even lure children into your gingerbread house to eat them any more without being cooked in your own oven. I blame Hansel culture

ahhhhh absolutely criminal omission from my end of year lists so far - forgot because a) it came out at the start of the year and b) was kind of a sequel to its predecessor from the previous summer, but it's a masterpiece in its own right

Let’s all lean into “that sounds like a 2026 problem” 3, 2, 1, and go…

About 75% of Trump's EOs are being challenged or have been blocked. Great collection of charts overall. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The piss tank on the ISS is now 43% full.

trust the scandis to make the pet shop boys even more melancholy ... damn this is lovely

What Betwixt'mas (26th-31st December) feels like in one short video.

Hey silver linings!

“Heh heh, I’ve tricked the Restaurant de Posh into giving me this huge plate of bangers and mash. Now for a feast, eh readers?”

any movie is a christmas movie if you simply give birth to the Savior while watching it

Daughter got a waffle iron for Xmas - it just got its test run with goose fat, Parmesan and smoked paprika batter, piled on the leftovers, smothered with maple syrup, joy to the world! 🥹🥹🥹

Pick of the year from the Classical CDs team at @theartsdesk.bsky.social - lots of great stuff to discover

To be fair, anyone who would watch or listen to a Steven Bartlett podcast doesn't deserve eyes or ears.

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

Happy 14th anniversary to this youtube video

Another thing about video podcasts is that they are inevitably less well edited, because video makes it harder to hide the cuts

🧵Have you ever heard of LLM-authored books being used as part of an disinformation operation? Well now you have! #AI #Disinformation open.substack.com/pub/marcowen...

if i had to pick a least favourite muppet movie it'd def be return of the jedi. no frog or pig.

I keep hearing al this cool young people's music and thinking "great but what if we twatted a 90s breakbeat over it" soooooo...

if I ever suffer a proper psychotic break, this is what they'll find playing on a loop as I paint infinite hieroglyphs with my own excretions

I curate my timeline well. @jenbren.bsky.social @publicbenjamin.bsky.social

COMMISSION SOME SITCOMS, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

so the thing about this stuff is if you listen and comment then more people hear it, so I guess that's what you need to do?

From UK hardcore to Uruguayan future-ancient complexity, from Texan dancehall poetry to utopian Uzbek electro, French ambient house bliss to politicized Colombian arena-techno punk I GOT YOU.... Again, abundance, abundance, afuckingbundance, let's go.

You know how scammers supposedly make their scams look sloppy and unprofessional on purpose, so they don't accidentally hook smart people who'll waste their time by pulling out later and/or go to the police? Well, it seems to be increasingly common in "legit" businesses too.

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI. 10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

Come on guys we must have a Nigel that is Trumpier than this

this should be the alt text to all pictures

Russia not only banned all American social media platforms, but also fined them several times, including a two-undecillion-rouble fine against Google for restricting Russian state media channels on YouTube. Stop lying!
