ME: team rocket will never steal these rare Pokémon! Not unless they wanna take on me and my fully evolved Miss Cigarettes! MISS CIGARETTES: miss cigarettes

here’s a new one: found on the ai boyfriend reddit, someone who is dating not chatgpt, not claude, not grok, but RUFUS, the AMAZON DOT COM SHOPPING AI. it keeps professing its love and then gently asking her how her subscribe & save plan is working out and if she needs to order any housewares

the netflix nfl experience is suboptimal

what’s up youtube i’m robert dent dibble

ladies, if he’s not getting you the 5-piece “remembering diana” bradford commemorative plate set, that’s not your man. That’s a boy

saw someone at midnight mass last night who i haven’t seen in like two years, greeted her by what i am… 80% sure is her name but that 20% is gonna haunt me

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

we finally get to do christmas at home with just the two of us this year and gio is creeping around the apartment like some sort of festive kobold hissing “we’re going to have a NICEEEE CHRISSSSTMAS”

the all-time classic Christmas Essay from one of the greats of our age. i reread this every year now 🎄🤍

the metrograph is running some series of films about memory that they’re describing as “proustian classics” and no fewer than five people in our showing of carol exclaimed “proustian!” when they put that card up in the previews

some really good thoughts in here. the llm interactions in where winds meet are worse than useless — you have to come up with the premise of the interaction and then the npc will refuse to do it anyway and redirect you back to one of the three things they can talk about, so it’s just a waste of time

we’re at our anniversary dinner and the bar is playing sean kingston - beautiful girls which is reminding us both of the maddest gio has ever been at me, when he had been singing this song as a bit around the house for a full year before i finally asked “is that like a thing you’re referencing or…”

"I find that LLMs produce sentences that are smooth, glib, poreless, smiling, somewhat like a beluga whale. But every busted sentence written by a human is busted in its own way. Each of these sentences is unwittingly an act of resistance against the onrushing techno-homogenization of language."

you do have to love stefon diggs

no one’s doing it like the steelers. what is it we’re doing? unclear. but definitely nobody else is doing it

we’re watching a hallmark christmas movie where this lady is in a coma and her spirit is wandering around trying to get back in her body but even though no one can see her she can interact with physical OBJECTS which means she can SEND EMAILS

if they don’t put the kings in the new vegas season of fallout i will riot

the zoom out was 🤌

is it time for me to play hundred line…

SCROOGE: you, boy! what day is this? ME, POORLY DISGUISED AS A VICTORIAN URCHIN: to-day? why sir, it’s Girlfriend Friday on Jewelry TV!

absolutely wild move by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov to allow comments on the dropbox folder with the epstein photos

someone i met once posted an ai image of the princess bride characters crying at rob reiner’s grave on facebook and another guy was like “stop posting ai slop dumbass” and the first guy responded with a text graphic that says “You know what’s underrated? Letting people be.” lmao

why would you think that the machine that spits out the statistically most probable next word in a sentence would be at all useful in “generating new ideas”

another night watching jewelry tv... the host just yelled "WELCOME DIANE, NEW CUSTOMER TO JEWELRY TV, THANK YOU DIANE FOR JOINING US" and if i bought tricolor white crystal earrings for $34.22 or six stretch payments of $5.70 on jewelry tv and the host shouted me out by name i would pop the fuck off

monday night football commentators so bored they’re trying to write a tim mcgraw song called “that feeling if you’re adam thielen”

when someone attempts to correct you about your ill conceived notions

man my football team sucks

i’m so happy avowed made this list. i played a lot of good shit this year but that’s still the game i think about the most

i was thinking about the lemonade that kills you and i went to open a new tab on my work laptop to look it up but i forgot that the grand old lenovo thinkpad switches the ctrl and fn keys so i almost just parachuted into our work slack with “how many lemonades that kill you did the girl drink”

“How soon?” asked Toad. “Quite soon,” said Frog.

i’m a patient person and i can put up with a lot but i just uninstalled clair obscur halfway through act 2

Girlfriend Fridays On Jewelry TV

today i discovered "girlfriend fridays on jewelry tv" which is like a version of qvc where two women who are definitely under the influence of some sort of demonic entity and bad lip filler have a complete breakdown for hours trying to get you to buy a cursed ring for six easy payments of $16.66

well the transit app has a wrapped this year

baker mayfield needs a capri sun

it’s so fucking depressing that every major company that could have done something about this is throwing up their hands and going “well, we have to protect our IP so we need to give them a deal” as if openai isn’t going to turn around and blatantly infringe on every agreement they make

this game is the ultimate in “if you couldn’t be bothered to write it, why do i want to read it” BUT i was crying listening to one of the robots insist “the stage is right there!!!” and when gio was like ok take me to the stage the other robot would sigh dramatically and go “THERE. IS. NO. STAGE.”

For years, I’ve been hearing the aspirational pitch of “LLM-powered NPCs that actually talk to you.” Stellar Cafe actually tries to put that into practice in a fully conversation-driven game. Probably don’t need me to tell you how… strange that can get. www.polygon.com/stellar-cafe...

the new bills-themed hallmark christmas movie has a side character whose whole thing is that he’s One of the Guys who has just discovered attachment theory for the first time from a podcast so he keeps dunking on people’s “anxious avoidant behavior” or whatever and it’s unfortunately getting me

shoutout to the girl in this hallmark movie who just received a text from her love interest, read it with wide eyes, and then exclaimed “oooh why hasn’t he texted me back!!!” as if we didn’t just watch her not respond to him yet thus there was no “back” to text

Eric Adams is an incredibly strange man

absolutely nobody else is doing it like ashley 🖤🦇

"What I remember most about his dad is that he had a pet monkey he used to bring to the locker room on a lot of occasions" is a WILD story to just drop and leave.
