A lot of bad externalities from LLMs but more than anything I feel bad for everyone whose first name is Genai.

This morning, I am doing SUCH a good job of seeing an annoying, stupid reply, typing up a response to it, and then deleting it. I definitely deserve some sort of cookie.

I just realized that those few days where he went radio silent were probably the longest stretch he's gone without publicly committing a crime this entire term.

I'm not sure what's worse - being forced to defend Jimmy Kimmel, or being forced to defend fucking Tylenol. Yes, it definitely has its place; no, it doesn't cause autism; but solely for OTC pain relief it's a disaster.

What movie do you consider perfect?

*frothing at the mouth* The only people who were told not to cite Wikipedia because it was unreliable were the people who refused to understand what citations mean.

The only ethical use of AI is to create a deepfaked cut of Tron 3 that replaces Jared Leto with Tim Robinson released to torrent sites the same day it premieres in theaters

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score

I have NEVER skipped so fast to the end of the filing to find out if it's pro se. THREE ATTORNEYS. THREE ATTORNEYS SIGNED OFF ON THIS "actual malice means you hate someone in a deranged way" piece of crap.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. You thought you had finished your coffee, but when you go to put it in the sink you still have some left. 2. A dog that is happy to see you again 3. Your neck pops in just the right way 4. Surprise butterfly 5. Muppets

There is so much bad stuff going on, but you are still someone worth taking care of.

Two microwave hints that I only learned in the past year: 1) if you're serving food into a bowl, put the empty bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds first. warm bowl! 2) if you're making yourself such as a hot dog or hamburger, put the empty bun in the microwave for 7 seconds. warm bun!

Best pie: strawberry Best ice cream: fig & mascarpone gelato Best donut: maple glazed Best bar: extremely spicy brownies (need to make these again) Best cake: blackberry upside-down Best cookie: oatmeal raisin with grand marnier-soaked raisins Best other: rum raisin / cherry mascarpone rice pudding

Ruin a song by adding the word 'literally' to the title. MMM, MMM, MMM, literally MMM

Live your life in such a way that a neutral description of your actions isn’t called disrespectful to your family.

It turns out that noise can be way more profitable than signal because there’s SO MUCH of it.

This is a good article, overall, but I just want to point out one thing - the reason the book is not evidence of a "conspiracy" or a "trafficking ring" is because it's a bunch of people joking about something they see as a victimless crime. If you take away the awfulness of what is actually being...

slightly diminish a book: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day* * - but the day is a hypothetical future June 30 or December 31 in which we experience a negative leap second, and it is therefore one second shorter than most days

Turns out the first album I thought of was released at the very beginning of 2000, oops. So here we go.

i really would like to have lived in the timeline where the insane eugenics-obsessed technofeudalists weren't allowed to take over the U.S. government

One thing that makes this really funny is that there was a lot of intense research trying to find energy storage that did NOT rely on chemical batteries, and then chemical batteries got so cheap and reliable that a lot of places just started installing a whole bunch of them.

Devil's strip.

Show me an image on your phone that has your energy but is not a selfie.

The rest of the article is EVEN WORSE. It acknowledges that the new movie is closer to the novel, but warns that audiences cannot unlearn what they have learned from a century of cinema: Frankenstein's monster is a terrible evil with a crucial weakness, and every movie ends in his destruction.

Ruin a movie by making it about Gary Gary-On

Just today I realized that when she says she wants to make a deal with god and get him to swap "our" places, she doesn't mean she wants to take over as god for a bit.

Science fiction is brassicas and fantasy is nightshades.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

I Tried To Google What You Did Last Summer but I Got a VERY Misleading AI Summary and Did Not Click Through Any of the Links To Learn More

I do genuinely wonder if it will still be practical to travel from a red state to a blue state by late 2026.

It has only happened to me once in my life that I found out someone I knew in person had the same birthday as me. I even spent 10 years working at a ~200 person company with regular turnover where they announced birthdays every week, and never had another person with the same birthday as me.

Yes. “Obscene.” That’s exactly it. Not quite the same, but—when a family member used ChatGPT to write a prayer, and then had us pray it together before a holiday meal, it felt like…blasphemy. I couldn’t do it. How could my devout loved one offer this obscene farce to a God they clearly venerate?

So I felt like I watched a lot of the Matt Smith era; definitely saw all of Clara, and a good chunk of Amy. So I figured I'd pull up HBOMA and see where I left off. Anyway, now I have a DVD collection of 9-12, since I guess modern Who doesn't have a streaming home right now...

Alright, so I've seen the Doctor Who movie. And I mean, it's fine. I'd have been delighted to get an entire season with Paul McGann. Eric Roberts is fine, but The Master can only be good when he's got a good scheme. Ashbrook is most let down by the script...

I hope one thing leftists all take away from Mamdani’s campaign though is that it doesn’t matter how chill and wholesome you are, the dinguses are going to smear and trash you in increasingly unhinged ways anyway, so you might as well shoot for the moon and campaign on what makes your heart sing

When I was in high school, I spent the entire time feeling like I was being bullied. And then at some point I was trying to provide examples of how I was bullied, and I realized that almost nothing happened TO ME. I spent three years of my life feeling like I was bullied every single day...

Ace gets her own post. Ace is amazing, ESPECIALLY when they give her a non-Doctor character to play against. She also gets a genuine character-development arc, and I love that she's very smart but not played as an abrasively smart person..

I have now watched the entire run of Doctor Who from 1963-89. I've also seen MOST of the modern run; I need to watch the Amy / Rory / River episodes to figure out if I just don't remember some of them, or if I missed them the first time through. But the Eighth Doctor is next in the queue!

This post really crystallized my feelings on the whole "you all ignored this and now you're paying the price" rhetoric that's been bothering me for a bit. (Obviously this post is not that bad, it just happened to make things clear.) Because specifically Real Genius did NOT get ignored.

No cheating, post the last pic of your pet.
