Sigh

It’s kind of weird that the Ohio river doesn’t even run most of its course in Ohio. It doesn’t even start there, why is it named that? Is it a warning? A threat? I think it has a branding problem either way. I’m just going to start calling it the Yinzergheny river.

Okay guys who else’s FYP is suddenly filled with instructional videos on how to steal an F-16 set to sea shanties

I wonder what course my life would have taken if I had been the kind of person who wore jean jackets

Hellthread was poster’s Saturnalia, clearly

Poster’s sin eater

I’m telling you, you could get around a lot of this by having a poster’s ombudsman. Of course, I don’t know who’d willingly sign up to be the Omelas kid. We all have brain damage but I don’t think anyone’s warped quite that way yet.

One of those things I’ve always wondered about when I see people proclaim their classics and the inevitable political/personal frame fighting starts: who the hell actually needs a sampling platter to get into a broad category of literature?

Oh. I thought maybe it was switching between my PDS account and this one, but could it be my moderation prefs aren’t m sticking because I never entered a birthday because that’s a seriously jackass thing to need to enter? Guess it’ll be the same as my Steam birthday, 1/1/1900 or whatever

So how long until we get a Horst Wessel Lied but for Kirk, which country artist is gonna drop that track?

Does Norway have a national parks service because they could do kind of a Colonial Williamsburg sort of thing with bandit forts like Skyrim

Wait so Netflix might buy Warner brothers? How much else isn’t getting past one season now

Man you know how there’s that NY Times Pitchbot account, well I bet someone could do a fully automated version of that for Bill Maher, dude is so internally consistent at being acceptably contrarian he’s basically more formulaic than a 70s sitcom

Wait wait wait, Chief Quimby works for the CIA in the Inspector Gadget sequel? Wow, wasn’t expecting that

Man how do people do 10k of XP (or more!) in Duolingo, like is the owl holding a gun to their head?

I followed the money using robots

We're just repeating the "Bank buys failing bank only to fail and be bought by multiple banks" part of 2008 but with tech conglomerates and in smaller chunks. It journalistic malpractice to not just outright refer to this as a circular vendor ponzi scheme being floated by the shovel salesmen.

I am going to lose my shit if the American people are actually learning the value of collective action using consumerism as the vector, if this isn’t just an emergent reaction mediated through spectacle.

Hakeem and Schumer sending a letter to Trump requesting a meeting to discuss a path forward 8 months in to Trump's second administration shows they're not leaders. They're collaborators.

Ready Comrade One

What is even happening right now

Do people still buy doilies? I feel like we could stage a comeback for the industry if we started making them with arcane sigils in them

Anyone who quotes Hanlon’s razor seriously in 2025 really needs to be reminded the two categories aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive and are in fact sometimes complementary depending upon character and intent. Maybe with a slap upside the head, I dunno. Is that too much? It feels appropriate.

You know, if replicators ever happen, I’m going to try some weird shit like a serviceberry and pawpaw pie. I mean pawpaws apparently are native here, and I’ve never even seen one. They’re entirely theoretical as far as I know.

Getting Kazooted

You know. In thinking about Twitter. I don't miss the vibe, though I do miss a handful of folks who decided bsky wasn't for them. Of course, it's not like a static change; the people I miss from there aren't the people they are now, so maybe it's more accurate to say I miss the memory of them?

I think for tpot that’s Wednesday, isn’t it? I’m not sure who has the other days of the week offhand.

Holy shit look at this kazoo

Apparently this is closer than one would think to how the H1B decision came around.

Someone should make a vape that’s also a kazoo

Propel propel propel your craft Gently down liquid solution Ecstatically ecstatically ecstatically ecstatically Existence is but an illusion

This is a bop

PSA: anyone getting into Plex or Jellyfin or whatever, if you don’t already know, Blu-rays are a fucking trap. Converting them to digital can be a huge fucking pain.

It’s 82. It’s September. People have Halloween decorations out. I feel like I’ve lost my mind.

How the hell is it 81 outside

PSA: PSUs can be the source of many a phantom crash, kernel panic or BSOD. If you reuse cases with your builds, consider the age of the power supply before you reuse it. Especially if it predates Haswell.

You know, I've legit wondered what a longitudinal study of LLM use by neurotype would look like. Mostly because I'm curious about two things: Are neurotypicals more prone to asking the magic answer box for facts? Do neurodivergent types use it more creatively?

Few realize Gendo was like that because he had stress induced IBS and that was actually a toilet he was sitting on.

All gifted students grow up to be either Gendo or Misato, there's no in-between

What if they made a big dog the size of a small dog

Are symbols are tools or traps, and can you instrumentalize them without being absorbed by what they represent either way? Who fucking cares, nerds

Someone should genetically engineer a variant to look like cigarette butts

Who wishes to engage in vibe arbitrage with me

Exposing my endpoints

I would legit laugh if vote with your wallet produced these kinds of results, but it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility

this is that gunter eagleman maga influencer from "X" lol
