The main thing I take away from this is that the Pope is a lot like @roryblank.bsky.social.

1 of 3: - At the start of 'Bumblebee' (2018) the main character uses a non-electric toothbrush as part of a set piece clearly meant to establish the era; to place the time. - Transformers (1986) was my favourite film as a kid. I had it on VHS. I loved Bumblebee.

'Nothing Isn't Rich' is actually pretty great

Rude.

A dumb project of mine (the alphabetical clock) is in Tabs! Which I found out while reading it, which was a delightful surprise! Highlight of my year so far.

I find it tough sometimes to distinguish _good_, new music from music that resonates with me as a 43 year old. I'm still one sure where this one lies but I like it. Venbee - "not my day" youtu.be/AwVMseKhG6w?...

And of course we have to repost this banger

Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

There is not a lot to say about 'Mortal Kombat' (2021) but you do have to admire a director who isn't afraid to hit Goro with a car.

This is... really something. Mechanical techno. Every 15 seconds or so it just somehow gets even more interesting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBhG...

me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all

How your email finds me.

Okay. What the fuck am I supposed to do. I'm supposed to do that?

Astronauts should not have hot sauce, nor should they have condiments, or seasonings. Space demands solemnity and respect. It is not a place of bold flavours.

Brutal.

The Artemis II crew proposed naming a moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife Carroll, who lost her life to cancer 😭

What is your father-in-law like? Mine messaged me curtly about a synth he felt _wasn't_ amateurish (like ones I had briefly mentioned in his presence many months ago) and my wife was so taken aback at this outpouring of emotion she made me double-check it wasn't some kind of phishing attempt.

'Project Hail Mary' is great. Sweet and goofy and stupid in a fun way. Really enjoyed sci-fi that wasn't trying to be gritty or realistic.

I dreamt of the beach (1/4)

sure, I use AI in my writing: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I don't know what I'm doing!

Personally a huge fan of "places on Earth I want to go to first". It's like, yeah, of course I want to see the moon but I have also heard great things about Majorca. So.

Sasquatch Diaries, Feb 26th sasquatchdiaries.neocities.org

Feels like we shouldn't have April Fools day anymore for the same reason that ARGs wouldn't really work anymore: they rely on a stronger consensus reality than we currently have to act as a baseline and counterpoint.

We've had LAMP, MEAN, MERN, and so on, but nowarchitecture is, like everything else, being given over to AI, I think a Fuck-Shit-Stack (FSS) (or a SlopStack) is a pretty good descriptor. (Maybe a FSS is just agents the whole way down and a Slopstack is an AI-designed stack? Much to ponder.)

anyway here’s @greatdismal.bsky.social in 2011 in Zero History describing the obsession with tactical clothing as a fetishized pursuit in a way that perfectly nails the combat cosplay of modern day ICE and BPD

It's different in every household, of course, but in ours we treat 'the day' with a quiet, joyous respect: muted smiles, quiet anticipation, and shared, suppressed laughter until, after a traditionally simple evening meal, we put the album on. How does your family celebrate New Robyn Album day?

Last time boosting this: I made an alphabetised clock yesterday. It is deeply cursed. Check it out.

Hello! Inspired by a post over on Mastodon, I made an alphabetical clock. I am sorry. boat.horse/clock/index....

Got tickets for @emfcamp.bsky.social. Yay!

The Amazing World of Tomorrow

I would start by securing it in a towel cup-side down. Then I would insert a small knife into the hinge, and twist to pop it open. Finally, cut the top muscle and detach the bottom muscle. Serve immediately with lemon wedges or a dash of mignonette to taste.

Saw two nuns in the back of a driverless Waymo and for a second it felt like god was driving them

I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄

Similar to the systems thinking subreddits, the #vibecoders channel in the Google Developers Discord server has people who are losing their minds, aided and pushed by AI.

Aesthetic as hell

They might cite that, but I am pretty certain that it is actually because they realised that the could not afford live-in maids and gardeners in the USA and did not know how to live a life without them.

I made a CLI tool for working with @getoutline.bsky.social, focused on quick and easy publishing of markdown files from your CLI editor of choice, and for safety for use with agents. Check it out. github.com/ryanbateman/...

I added some tracking/a basic chart to every.horse a while ago and, while I appreciate correlation != causation, I will say that my new personal conspiracy theory is that the Iran war is currently negatively impacting .horse sales
