Pressed on why she described far-right neo-Nazis as “far-left”, Sussan Ley says these are just “political concepts” and can be framed however you like. 🤔 I don’t think so, Sussan. Left neo-Nazis? #auspol

i bought the domain ohhh.lol a while back just because and the other night i noticed it gets like 100-150 unique hits a day from people typing it in their posts and group chats where it tries to load the url preview. so i hope this annoys some people while they're trying to get their mack on

the vandal in me loves the idea of obtaining an antique 1903 calendar and writing 2026 biro notes all over it

Okay, that's pretty good.

Librarians after the holidays: Ahh, back to my job reading books all day

There is only one answer to this and every Australian knows who it is

here's the (relatively recent) X's head of product Nikita Bier tweeting about how popular X is at the moment

Judges hate this one simple trick (horse lawyer)

I don't need to be prompted to share my niche, esoteric opinions. What else do I do here

I am once again on a bus. But this driver is not playing any music. I don't trust bus drivers who drive in silence. He's speeding very fast, just to feel something, I think

This is strongly my belief about what is going on with chatbot psychosis. It’s a kind of runaway disordered thinking brought about from having the wrong kind of conversation with another person (or even yourself), similar in ways to falling into a cult or conspiracy theory belief.

My robot vacuum is always finding and eating loose cords from other appliances and I think he's trying to take out the competition

good news everyone

also, if i were advising, say, anthropic, i would tell them to draw extremely broad and aggressive marketing and messaging distinctions between the CSAM hate machine (xAI), the suicide machine (openAI) and the clippy-but-worse machine (copilot), and focus on being the buddhist codemonkey machine

Well, I figured out how to put public domain books onto my paper tablet. I also regressed to my ten year old self.

all of openai, anthropic, and google should be *hammering* the "lobby harder" button because xAI is taking a leak directly in their drinks

People who tell librarians how to do their jobs always want libraries to be silent places that charge fines and never throw books away. No grace, no openness, no change. You're just describing a graveyard

The worst part about this is that xAI *isn’t* reviewing to prevent future issues. Grok is just saying that because that’s the sort of thing a responsible company would do

I watched the first season of Stranger Things when it aired and enjoyed it - even got it on Bluray - because I liked its simple supernatural horror mystery vibes. Then I gave up in season 2 because I realized I didn’t care to have this become a big epic blockbuster with lore dumps and a big bad

Happy New Year! 🎉 Why not celebrate by looking back on what you were posting on this day in previous years?

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

I think they should just pop a ‘g’ right onto the end of Orangutan. I’m saying Orangutang anyway.
