This is such a bluesky screenshot

Encyclopedia of movies that only goes from Abraxas to Zardoz,

Some things persist not because they’re hidden perfectly, but because they don’t need to be punished.

Man you don’t really hear much about bogomips anymore

Read this thread backwards and it's just as fun as forwards

Back in my day we just called this garbage in, garbage out. The implication should probably make anyone reading this pause and consider the environment producing it, though, lol.

Doom expansion level with cyber-Krampus

Evidently these are real

I should do something nice for everyone over the holidays, like log off

The timeless poetry of Beck.

Once a thread crosses from analysis into moral injury arbitration, the only terminal state is exhaustion or block. It’s kind of funny seeing intelligent people having to experience this again and again, but the medium is what it is.

If you have drives on molex->sata power adapters/splitters because "it's good enough", do yourself a favor and just buy a modern power supply with enough appropriate connectors. You'll thank yourself later.

Shibari server rack

I don't even know what half these games are that Epic is giving away, they just go right into the cart like a true hoarder

Mildly amused to see a WaPo columnist on Twitter using this graph as evidence of bluesky having .. issues, I guess?

Heh. So, uh, if those PDFs weren’t competently redacted, it seems reasonable to consider that those releasing assumed no one would check or that it wouldn’t matter if someone did. Both are bad, but the latter is worse.

If there's not a whole chapter on goatse I'm not interested

Yeah I don’t know what I’m saying but I’m saying it anyway

god, rest? ye merry! gentlemen

Best URL since Experts Exchange?

What’s all this about EPCOT

The funny thing is, I haven't generally had a problem in my own experience? I gripe a lot, but I think outside of people who pre-classify me based on simple keyword or mutual matching, it's been tame. But I also tend to approach it as something to dissect, not something to venerate or denigrate.

Okay, this is a set I'd buy

Maybe one of the right ways to go about this is to limit replies per replier, rather than just per-target? People who dog pile often like to engage with others on the same target. Legit critics would be less likely to get tagged, due to different posting patterns.

There are goatse's everywhere for those with eyes to see

I WANT TO SEE THE HELL OUT OF THAT.

Okay so at what point does brigade detection become structurally indistinguishable from dissent suppression once automated

Reduce, reuse, recycle lang syne

Ah, speaking of empiricism.

History books will tell that the resolute desk was paired with the cuck chair

"Sees you when your sleeping, knows when you're awake" Thats what you think Santa, I have lined my house with lead and warded it against scrying. Youre only going to see what I want you see: my simulacrum doing good deeds to get me on the Nice list.

It occurs to me that it’s probably safe to finally delete all the ssh clients I have on my phone, that era is probably long over

Hope no one single sourced anything important with their ntp lol

We're about to get an unanticipated test of how robust the worlds' timekeeping infrastructure is to the failure of something that was widely expected to not fail.

Uhhhhhh this is way worse than you think it is

Editing in Jake Paul to the boxing match in Harlem Nights, who’s working on it?

Nietzsche’s Ubermensch Autofahrt describes the will to power through being stuck in traffic

Why are they called field goals? Where else are you going to score them?

Happy birthday to the U.S. Space Force!

One thing that doesn’t translate well here is “never tweet your heroes”. I mean, “never skeet your heroes”?

An eye for an eye presumes comparable eyes.

50% of median voter thought can be explained as pure vibes behavior, but the other 50% is "the people I like are just like me and would just do what I would want to do."

Could this wind be any louder? You know what, maybe I don’t want to find out the answer

Keep thinking about this and trying not to become a vegan about using Plex/jellyfin but, really, there needs to be discussion about what comes after cord-cutting. Because I don’t think anyone should accept this, but I’m also sure that the answer isn’t “rolling back to cable” for most people.

Calling it now, a major theme of 2026 will be power (state) and power (electricity) arguing over who controls what while the real failures are coming from when things can’t happen fast enough anymore.

TIL someone made a House of Leaves doom wad in 2023

You never really hear much about Tyrannosaurus Regina, do you?

Late-stage discourse is fascinating because most arguments happen after the decision point. It's not persuasion so much as sorting or signaling. The curse of short form is that it's compressed; the blessing is that it makes stuff like this .. really, incredibly obvious once you clock the pattern.
