Just a reminder. Our parents thought we were assholes as kids. Our grandparents thought our parents were assholes as kids. Our great grandparents thought our grandparents were assholes as kids. Kids are assholes, they are not worse today than they were a 1,000 years ago.

The way you know what this is about

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

When we are told not to speak ill of the dead, it is the continuation of the whitewashing - turning the cruel into the eccentric or the avuncular - allowing their cruelty to go unspoken of for the purpose of “manners” that they didn’t demonstrate in their lives as they happily dehumanised

Dont want to be remembered as an awful person? Try not being an awful person.

we laid off the people who develop the games, we laid off the journalists who cover the games, everyone is freelance and there’s no freelance budget. It’s probably fine though

This is one degree hotter than the temperature Manny loses his shit at in that episode of Black Books by the way

What I wanted was God Speed by Crossfaith and Wargasm. What I got was a loud argument with Alexa because it 'couldn't find orgasm' and doesn't understand 'tell them to slow down and try again' no matter how I phrase it. ALEXA I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU, literally for fuck's sake.

I bring you a story in two parts. Little Catte, tiny little Locke, supposedly a desert creature, has encountered a mildly warm room and perished. Dissolved. Is actively experiencing evaporation. ENTER: AIR CON. Salvation. Apex predator restored. Majestic despite sitting on a dinosaur ottomon.

Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.

Finding the melting point of an Englishman: outdated, cowardly even. Finding the boiling point of an Englishman: exciting, bubbly, almost inevitable.

This. This. All of this. I have friends in the film industry reposting this article like a four alarm fire. This is the AI company announcing a stunt they themselves are facilitating (if it ever happens at all) not anyone outside of the AI company expressing any interest at all.

Bread and circuses aren’t working anymore because bread is now $6/loaf and the circus is $19.99/month with ads

If you talk to Microsoft in the tech press with any regularity you should ask them questions about Copilot until they start crying.

Slop detectors are also slop, even when selling a pretend counter to slop, because all slop is a grift

Maybe this hasn’t sunk in for anyone who should care but the NHS was birthed when the UK *literally had negative money*. The USA had razed us of every penny to pay for weapons to defend ourselves against Germany, Germany had bombed all our industrial sites. We still did it in 6 months. 6.

MetalSonicMetalSonicMetalSonicMetalSonic @demontomatodave.bsky.social You have probably already seen this, but I have only seen it some uncountable number of times so I must tag someone and play it again How good does the lad look here?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOdp...

"Our AI-first coders are far more productive than our other engineers!" Is that really what's going on or are your AI-first coders generating swathes of code that your regular engineers have to review and fix before it can go into the project? Might they, in fact, be wasting everybody else's time?

I appreciate the spirit of people building knock off steam machines as if to say “that’ll show em!” when Valve clearly wants people to do that.

Everybody needs sunscream. #art #Heatwave

90% of modern media criticism just sounds like this

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

new roathe sticker i made! 3’’ with foil on the shiny bits :) #warframefanart

I am about to make ten grand a month on patreon from daft right wing blokes

Nobody actually likes Fab lollies, and its okay to stop pretending you do.

How's the heat going? Well, I didn't notice my shorts were inside out until *after* I'd been out, and only then because I tried to put my phone in my pocket. Just stood there, confusedly rubbing a phone on my thigh, like 'pocket no work, why pocket broken tho'. I have clearly reached the end.

Smashed three car windows already to save dogs from the heat. Haven’t found any yet but I’m not giving up.

It’s like driving in a car with someone who insists on removing every single part if the car until they personally experience the consequences of what happens without that one part.

It is vital you buy your small child (or the small child you know) that cheap, shitty watercolor set and that cheap, shitty colored pencil set and that cheap, shitty sketchbook Don't even wait for a reason, just bring it home one night That stuff is transformative in ways you've totally forgotten

SO SICK OF THIS BULLSHIT BURST ALREADY 🫧

that's odd, spacex ventures usually crash pretty much where they took off from

FUCK

We have none that the establishment won’t utterly sabotage. Labour will happily destroy its own chances in an election than suffer a leader who isn’t a neoliberal slimepipe.

Here’s @papapishu.bsky.social with a relevant take on the Steam Machine

Wes Streeting is putting a pause on his leadership ambitions to devote more focus to his original passion of placidly devouring children in Medieval art tableaus.

you gotta be careful, posting stuff like this could get you fired

'In my day we enjoyed the sun' yes it was considerably cooler and also you were seven and your mummy done you a paddling pool

I see Yer Da is posting in the comments about every Amber weather warning for next week that in his day they called it summer and got on with it, end of

I NO LONGER USE CHAIRS. A CHAIR IS A BRIBE FROM GRAVITY. NO ARMRESTS. NO CUSHION. NO LEGS. NO FLOOR. I SQUAT WHERE THE ROMANS SQUATTED. MY KNEES SOUND LIKE A DOOR NOW. EVERY DOOR. I CAN HEAR EVERY DOOR IN THE CITY OPENING. SOMEONE IS COMING

I'm not a Hollywood fashion model by any means and regularly am out of style but I can routinely find glasses that fit my head shape and styles that I like with prescriptions that don't take pervert videos for under $40 shipped from Zenni. I can get roughly 54 different pairs for this price!
