What if people responded to a post that wasn’t about Tony Shaloub by attempting to connect the post to Tony Shaloub. They did it again and again. You’d start to hate Tony Shaloub! So doing it with someone genuinely hateful is demented!

I was watching a YouTube short with a beaver gnawing at a tree and said aloud to myself “remarkable animal.” and my girlfriend heard from the other room and yelled “what did you say?” And I yelled back, “I said ‘remarkable animal’ while watching a video of a beaver”

I love this essay, not least because some colleagues and I just a few months ago went to Yestermorrow School of Design Build on a retreat to build democratic benches! “Public benches signify a commitment to public life. They’re a small article of faith in an ideal”

im not triggered im embarrassed for you

some people love to get mad at other people for being awkward or oblivious in public on here and it does not make me feel very good

i only go to the airport when i'm not flying, so i can get in the way of everyone else. when i have to catch a plane myself i do so with my Magnet

Friend: Let's get together! What's your calendar look like? Me: Same picture of a dog on it till next month

We should, as a society, have shame about how the disabled have been treated since COVID hit. That sometimes people turn that social shame into a personal shaming out of anger is something that anyone who's got any sympathy toward any kind of minority group should probably understand.

Watch out here comes the reason-finding mammal to do a number on what is.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

on my rats, tonight

by the year 2035 there will only be two movies released a year. an a24 film called How to Solve The Equation of Me starring michael cera as a talking llama who represents guilt and shame. also there's Avengers X Star Wars: Gumby vs The Boards of Canada. every person on earth has a cameo

ME: i’m so sick and tired of being set upon by the baron’s hounds HER: Maybe stop hopping the fence into his estate? ME: sympathy not solutions plz HER: I’m so sorry, that sounds very painful. I know you’re trying really hard to get The Baron’s priceless egg. ME: it should be *my* egg :(

Something to be said about politicians and pundits taking AI developers' apocalypse preaching more seriously than decades of very good climate science

Once again, Lindy West runs into trouble conjugating when she should have declined.

all this time you people have been talking about clavicular and i thought he was this guy who went to my college who got on the news because he was slurped down the bathtub drain in the exact way a child fears it will be. guess they just have the same name

Here is an easy solution: Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves. Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled. Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.

I don't really want to participate in the Diplo Says All Artists Will Have To Use AI Eventually discourse at all, but I have made the decision to give into the urge, which I have had all afternoon, to post "Dilpo" on here. I will have no further comment on this.

“Bands have always been astroturfed to one extent or another” yeah but it’s fucking annoying to have a bunch of guys tell you you have to listen to this it’s amazing go listen to it and it sounds like someone left pere ubu out of the fridge too long, AGAIN

everything is fucking expensive man

reading a library copy of hitchhikers guide to the galaxy that is cursed both with illustrations that are just portraits of every character that gets mentioned drawn exactly as described and a front cover quote from neil gaiman and feeling myself, personally cursed

I would really like to have a pleasant low stakes unfraught conversation with somebody I’m sure isn’t mad at me or about to say something that is so unhinged it ruins my day

samuel beckett was born on this day 120 years ago. astonishing to think that if he had survived, and could run 100m in 9.57 seconds, he would be not only the oldest but also the fastest man in the world - together with his nobel prize for literature, an astonishing trifecta

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

I’ve gained access to a kind of pocket dimension known only as The Hammock Zone. I strongly recommend a visit.

It is also fun that we had decades of terrified squealing about postmodern relativism creating a world where nothing is real or true, only to then have our ruling class gladly hand over governance to a hallucinating Friend Computer, built to specifications set by a bunch of rich race science cranks

This is 14 Bone Temples worth of severance. We could be watching "28 Years Later 10: Even More Bones" with this kind of money

I just slow-blinked at a baby

let’s hang out by the field with mama

So the mostly young people who protested against Israeli genocide "accomplished nothing" AND also you demand that they protest now against the war in Iran... I see.

You can tell which protests the government saw as a threat to power too. Look at the way the Biden admin treated the campus protests vs the way Trump treats the No Kings protests. Theres a reason why one is basically a day long festival and the other had students put on watch lists.

Anyone complaining about college students not protesting a) doesn't spend much time on a college campus, b) has never been to an anti-war protest, c) doesn't understand how much time sustained mass mobilization takes to organize, and d) is oozing disdain for young people leading the charge.

Me : invents a device to talk to cats Cat : oh god finally you understand whenever I meow for hours it’s because i want wet food I know this was so opaque for you Me : no no I knew u want wet food the whole time but you can’t have it whenever u want Cat : Me : Cat : first of all fuck you

It's been said a lot but I really hate the fact that any time I see a photo that looks even halfway cool I have question whether or not it's fake, thereby removing all joy and wonder from basically everything.

I know everyone wants to return to normal, but normal fostered this moment. Normal defines this moment. Whatever happens next, however it happens, we need to move forward into a better, abnormal future instead of retreating to a comfortable past that normalized perpetual atrocity.
