The stupidity just ramps up the tragedy

It’s a cookbook! #OpenAI #ToServeMan

No shortcuts to personality.

Time to ramp up DC movie production before we have deepfake Superman telling everyone he came to Earth “the right way” @jamesgunn.bsky.social

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

Bananas. Nature’s Go-Gurt. Not just boring and randomly paired with better, more expensive fruits as a cheap spackle, but a historically destructive weapon. Capitalism’s MAC-10.

Stop the Discourse I want to talk about how I’m rewatching Deep Space 9 right now.

We've broken $10K!!! Now's a great time to jump on this amazing deal. I'd love to hit $11K soon. See this thread for why TGIJP is such a great organization to support.........

Cool things always happen when folks quantify the value of humanity

And they played it every Monday morning on WIXX in Green Bay at least a decade before the Packers started using it in the mid-90s, so I connect that song with home more than any other.

Status Quo Troopers (1997)

The Scion of Oklahoma City’s largest McDonald’s franchisee family pissed himself at a peaceful anti-ICE protest in Mustang, OK this week when he tried to start shit and attacked protestors

Having the coolest guy in the world officiate your marriage should be the final boss of every courtship.

civil disobedience takes many forms

argh I don’t get home until 6:30

I had a minor adhd hyperfocus freakout about SSD prices. Spent too much on a rugged drive to hold 50+ hours of video interviews with spirit mediums/fortunetellers/accused sorcerers that I had on a crazy quilt of random drives. Finally achieved peace of mind (fleeting) after 12 hours of transfers.

I left newspapers in 2004 for very similar reasons. It never stops being sad.

Post a banger that’s not in English youtu.be/oaWEdtlDsXw?...

Speaking of pricks: follow @joeldongsteen.northsky.social, a bot that takes every Joel Osteen's tweet, and replaces "God" with "dick." bsky.app/profile/joel...

Closed-caption writers really upping the ante for Keke Palmer on #TheBurbs.

The XXXX wings at Jake Melnick’s in Chicago are delicious, and if you love spicy food, you can do the challenge to get a free meal, t-shirt, and firefighter’s hat! cc: @faineg.bsky.social if you ever need a free meal in downtown Chicago.

You can always tell when slogans are focus-tested on sycophants.

Groundhog might be a better choice. Or entrails! I hear entrails used to be the hot pick.

Last call for ABOLISH ICE stickers & shirts from Commonwealth Press! Orders close at 5PM EST this Sunday, Feb 8. Net proceeds go to Casa San Jose, which supports Pittsburgh’s Latino & immigrant community through social services, education, and advocacy. www.compressmerch.com/collections/...

Disgusting

Agreed. I thought it was really good.

Have the “civility” types scrubbed their histories of all the Let’s Go Brandon LOL bullshit? So so tiresome

When This ends, and I still believe that it will, there will be a huge contingent of people who will have, step by step, tragedy by tragedy, abandoned every single value they loudly proclaimed to hold dear.

I’ve been talking a lot with people lately about the meaning of civil disobedience—its power and its consequences. This book explains it really well.

* Monster, Aliens, and Cyborgs: The Role of the Other in Contemporary Literature * Graphic Novels * American Protest Movements * Battlefields of the Civil War * Peoples of the Pacific Islands

seems like everything has to have a grimdark adaptation nowadays smh

just got my kid and their friends tickets to an anime movie called hypnosismic, and I’m so happy the teens are still finding stuff that I, a supernerd, have no clue about.

Fuck that. Disarm, Dismantle, Depose.

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Wisit Sasanatieng’s Citizen Dog

Hell yeah needed a win today from Bandai. #gunpla #gundam

“You fools! You already strayed from the prime timeline by rejecting the Zune!”

Feels like they stole this announcement from a late-90s JRPG

Reminder that @nfl.sickos.club will give you a label for your favorite football team (or teams, up to two). I think it still works. I haven't actually checked the tmux session in a while.

Backlog progress continues with my first Zaku. After the GQuuuuuux last week it was a nice change of pace. #Gunpla #gundam #Zaku

Huge innovation in middle-finger science

they have a clone army don’t they

Thank heavens we have nerds (complimentary) who keep track of stuff, because the next government will need an anti-DOGE full of them and a shitload of autopens

Growing up in Wisconsin, then spending some time in Cambodia years later, I have very specific heuristics for determining whether it’s super cold or super hot outside. Cold: My nostrils stick together when I breathe through my nose. Hot: Steals my breath a little bit when I walk outside.

Too many won’t even risk their *political* lives and power for our families and neighbors, much less their freedom or physical safety. Politicians should be at the front of the protests, not waiting for poll numbers before committing. That’s one way @katmabu.bsky.social is earning my vote.

Ignoring the fact that immigrant visas require paperwork that puts sponsors on the hook if the immigrant you sponsor applies for public assistance within 5 years of immigrating.

Thinking about cycles of imperialism for whatever reason, and remembered this fantastic story by @bruces.bsky.social (I’ll delete if it’s not cool to tag you). bruces.medium.com/sacred-cow-b...
