when a cashier tells me my total i always say “sounds good” as if i have just successfully negotiated the price of whatever i’m buying

A recap of how NY Dog did it.

have to drive to San Diego later please keep me in your prayers

yes, he hates his son more than anyone else alive, but part of me suspects he really just disapproved of the menu

ten weeks of war with Iran and she’s throwing in the towel? probably didn’t even TRY to go snorkeling in the Strait of Hormuz

thank you. it’s like, just go through the part of the water where they aren’t? fucking duh

Really think we could stand to drop the utterly credulous headline style of "Billionaire says doorway to Narnia will be open by 2027"

fond memories of attending a prom with a friend a couple towns over in NJ in 2003 where someone pulled up in a cherry red Dodge Viper with this turned all the way to the max and i think they got bounced without even getting inside lol

Lately, every judge is always shocked, SHOCKED! that the government is blatantly corrupt and incompetent in how it prosecutes cases, which is a bit like a grandmother of six girls being surprised that sex makes babies

taking a shared uber, grabbing the aux and playing einstürzende neubauten

i think the saddest thing in this Colbert finale is hearing Paul McCartney complain about iOS updates

Get some elder millennial British homosexuals in the Uber and there is only one thing going on the aux

remember “back in the day” when Uber drivers gave you the aux for some reason and your friends eventually had to organize a groupchat conspiracy about how they weren’t going to let you blast Vince Staples “Norf Norf” again? yeah i haven’t fucking forgotten and you are why Donald Trump is president

afroman played my, i promise, even tinier school and he ripped so hard. rolled up in a pt cruiser, had an ipod, a double necked guitar, and a sick jumpsuit. smoked a bowl onstage and killed it beyond belief. drove off in the cruiser from chestertown, maryland.

he was blind but he had hands

Nolan did his job and so did Lupita bsky.app/profile/maot...

this is also an A+ comment lol

NEW YORK—Finding himself unable to tolerate the continuing stubborn refusal to address the real issues at hand, apartment dweller Jordan Stills has declared himself “sick and tired” Wednesday of hearing his upstairs neighbors skirt around the core conflict of their long-running argument.

Julian being kicked out a strip club and angrily refusing to give up his rum and coke because "this is my drink, I brought this drink from home" lives rent free in my head.

Shoegaze is everywhere, especially in the midwest. I reached out to more than a dozen musicians and experts to talk all things midwest shoegaze for my newest Reader feature.

My local steam railway runs a service called the Sausage Shuttle

gotta find that local angle

he played my (tiny) college campus at the peak of his fame and kept crashing the sound system and it was the sweatiest event of all time. rumor was that afterward someone invited him to a party and he asked if they had drugs and they said yeah we have weed and he replied “sorry i only do hard drugs”

This isn’t the first time i’ve heard this and it may explain why, despite the unpopularity of AI in polling, the pro-AI voices seem much louder. Seems possible that by convincing the bosses of AI’s inevitability, it’s had a chilling effect on workers who oppose it but fear for their livelihoods.

of all the incredible bits in Trailer Park Boys there’s this moment when Ricky is listing off all their problems (likely burning down a trailer/losing all their dope stash and money/Lahey going apeshit) where he wearily concludes “and I gotta get something to eat” and it absolutely kills me

this is a harrowing read. schools and police still have zero clue how to deal with AI nudify apps being used by kids on their classmates. Apple and Google still not doing a great job deleting these apps. Instagram & TikTok are still promoting them via paid ads: www.404media.co/radnor-high-...

Sorry but it’s pretty funny that “broadly left-leaning politician, in a development inexplicable to those close to him, becomes much more ideologically conservative after a medical event known to have caused lasting brain impairment” is a plainly true story political media just has to kind of ignore

To the team that traded for me despite all my sex crime allegations and paid me a ridiculous sum of money while I sucked ass the entire time: I forgive you

One of the first internet sites I remember being delighted by was an alien conspiracy website. This was in the 90s. There was no navigation. It was page after page of telling you this true story of aliens. Ramping you up for the reveal on page 7 or something. The reveal was a picture of E.T.

The internet really was a mistake

We can either have men or the internet, but we can’t have both

that man's got an outie like a Cabbage Patch Kid

Today is Ona Judge Day. While the United States gears up for its 250th celebration, which inevitably includes the likes of George Washington, Ona Judge made her escape on May 21, 1796. The Washington household attempted her capture several times, but she was never caught. Forever free

Sexually abusive deepfakes are more common than you think: there’s a hidden social network built on the manipulation of women’s photos. “I found a lot of very specific requests for notification that were actually about family members, friends, colleagues, bosses, you name it,” a researcher says.

some insane belly button work behind him

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world 😍 airesistlist.org

reuploading maybe my favourite video in the fucking world

Great news, just in time for summer reading season! @wired.com is launching a book club, helmed by the inimitable @knibbs.bsky.social. Sign up here before the fun gets started:

uh oh new Car Seat Headrest album before Memorial Day we're looking at a Male Manipulator Summer

Introvert James Bond who realizes at the end of the movie that the sexy lady from the beginning of the movie was actually flirting with him

Memetic evolution. It is suboptimal for it to make you just horny if there's also an opportunity to make you mad and jealous. Maybe the best argument for being "horny on main" is that horniness will otherwise be cloaked in pathological discourse and will crowd out the simpler kind.

it's considered gauche to admit this but the reason bluesky has lots of burrito taxi discourse is that every big account gets 50 DashPoints credited to our account every time we bring it up, positive or negative. all of us are feasting on ebike-delivered bloomin' onions and all of us are on the take

this is just one more blatant example, and i’m glad some people are calling it out.

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

i had such a rough time during parts of the process of writing my forthcoming book, but never in a million years could i imagine as someone who calls myself a writer turning to a fucking chatbot
