I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Xbox is now Qwikster

XBOX is now BOX

eisner awards need to get it the fuck together or else change their name to a worse cartoonist like idk the scott adams awards

i’m not on tiktok anymore but

why is every cbs sitcom title like “the kooky adventures of huey and genevieve’s accidental marriage”

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is now PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome). The name change follows a multiyear process stemming from a recognition that ovarian cysts aren't the primary aspect of the condition, which affects multiple body systems, and many patients don't have them.

here was my experience with this cool feature bsky.app/profile/kris...

The most dystopian part is the conclusion, where AI lists ITSELF as contributing to the homogenization of art, followed by: "What do you think? Is art becoming too safe? Share your thoughts in the comments." There is no ability to leave a comment. There is no comment section. It's not a real blog.

I feel extremely strongly about the fact that Fox News shouldn't be writing about weird, niche online kink communities, some topics should only ever be brought to your attention by your Local Tumblr Guy, if you don't have a Local Tumblr Guy in your life you should not know about these things

Gamergate 1.0 never ended. The sexist harassment campaign infected every corner of video game discourse and laid the foundation for MAGA. And the women who were in the crosshairs a decade ago are STILL BEING TARGETED. Gamers will praise a game endlessly until they realize the devs are feminists.

It cannot be overstated how much influence Suzuki has had on modern horror. Without his books being adapted, the modern crop of horror movies looks VERY DIFFERENT. Without RINGU, there is no SINISTER or INSIDIOUS or IT FOLLOWS. The J-Horror aesthetic which evolved from his books redefined horror.

The thing about depression is that it's not just sadness. It's your brain constantly lying to you. Telling you terrible things. You're a failure. Nobody is better off for knowing you. And nothing will ever get better because the problem is you. For some, drugs can turn that off. It's life-saving.

your software is not conscious, you absolute weirdo

I launched an indie webcomic hosting platform several months ago that offered a free and a $4/mo paid plan. This was purely to cover the cost of the infrastructure. But in seeing it grow, I'm no longer worried about the cost. So yeah Webcomic Studio is now free. webcomic.studio

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

HAPPENING NOW: Tim Heidecker delivers an update on the future of InfoWars and takes calls from viewers including President Donald J. Trump.

Like I said: the civil rights era never ended. You are still in it. The most important form of free speech, is the right to vote. Racists don't want Black people to vote. So they wrote down a plan to stack the Supreme Court with people that would make it harder for Black people to vote. It worked

a ballroom has a core strategic weakness: the man in the back saying “everyone attack”

Sisko on this Deep Space Nine ep I’m watching is serving in these pajamas

a) We fucking called this before Roe fell ffs LISTEN TO US b) if they win this will set our whole society back to the 1950s or earlier. Workplace equality? Sexual freedom? What??? THIS MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS AN ALL HANDS ON DECK ISSUE c) (see next skeet)

remarkably good invocation that really hit for me

i dipped my phone in piss bc i had to go piss but now my pants are wet?? is this anti-ai sentiment

It's been a full day since I watched this/read the site and I still can't stop thinking about how darkly funny/accurate it is that TRI hammers on all of the bad things about AI... purely to sell something even worse. Incredible facsimile of Silicon Valley "ethics".

alex jones will get justice for the electric sun 20

Your worth as an artist is not tied to lack of sales. Your lack of sales is, however, tied to the fact absolutely none of us have any money. You're NOT a shit artist. We are ALL broke, my dude.

icymi we’re dunking on AI now

congrats to local58tv for finally accepting that the scariest thing is a motionless smiling face on a black screen

Alex Jones is now just making supercuts of Tim & Eric sketches and freaking out. Alex Jones on Twitter: "⚠️EVEN MORE VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED: We Compiled a Super Clip of Even More of Their Most Depraved Publicly-Released Material. This is SICK FOOTAGE From The Onion Scum."

yes. and if we are going to bring up GPS and Einstein, we must also say another important name, Gladys West. A pioneer in the field of geodesy, she developed the math to accurately measure the Earth's geometric shape, making it possible to use Einstein's work for GPS. www.npr.org/2026/01/23/n...

all the fuss over trans athletes but somehow this is cool and notable

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

So glad this story is gaining traction & wanted to highlight that @andrewdeck.bsky.social at @niemanlab.org broke the news that NYT/Guardian/USA Today were blocking IA earlier this year. Encourage all to read: www.niemanlab.org/2026/01/news...

Caveat, I strongly prefer the new meme to people's previous relationship with Watterson, which Kris Straub satirized here
