For anyone who is like “the creature is also named Frankenstein”; Mary Shelley went to see a play version of Frankenstein and was tickled that they listed the creature as “———“ in the dramatis personae: “this nameless mode of naming the unnameable is rather good” www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/3...

Can’t wait for @dieworkwear.bsky.social to weigh in on this

Frictionless brain activity

BE NOT AFRAID

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Lol. Lmao

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I've created a calculator that gives you the right answer 80% of the time and I believe it will change the world

Can’t believe he didn’t put this in a strongly worded letter to the administration or the GOP

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Gonna take 80 paracetamol at once to show those idiots it doesn’t ‘cause autism’

Governor Pritzker (deliberately?) quoting from Andor a Disney product which has managed to slip militant antifascism into the mainstream consciousness without much comment or notice aside from us nerds

Ah fuck.

BREAKING Three Russian warplanes entered Estonian airspace and remained there for nearly 15 minutes, leaving only when they were forced to by NATO aircraft. Estonia has invoked NATO Article Four in response to this provocative action by the Putin regime.

lol, lmao

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Who could possibly have foreseen?

the year is 2050. you ask AI how to wear a suit. the computer spits out info framed as objective facts, even though these are totally made up rules invented by an asian guy in 2025 while he was sitting on a toilet

Feels like there’s this great big void where a progressive concept of English identity could be and that’s why it’s so easily co-opted by the far-right. This short video does a great job of how it is possible to reclaim a symbol and maybe start articulating an inclusive vision of Englishness

I'm not saying Reform is a one man band, but they went looking for the best and the brightest among the rest and came up with Darren Grimes, Andrea Jenkyns and Paul Nuttall

Imaginative use of white privilege. Love it.

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

season 1 vs. season 7

I hear that we’re in an AI bubble. That Google would claim AI did the work of real humans to save face seems very on brand for Google and AI in general at this point.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

A team that does not know when its beaten

I’ve recently learned the value or the satisfaction of getting rid of things you don’t need. Just finished a fantasy book I bought in order to try and read more fiction and it’s going straight to a charity shop.

Day 1: Grok is an amusing example of the inherent weakness of LLMs given the risk of manipulation by their ultimate owner Day 2: Grok is not at an amusing example.
