Was cracking myself up imagining a futuristic drug called "U4EA" that nobody actually took because the name is so dumb. But then it turns out to not only be a real marijuana brand, but also the name of the scary drug from a 1991 episode of Beverly Hills 90210. #humility

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

This song is Dreamcast-core. I am willing to accept follow-up questions at this time.

I typed "the" into the search bar on YouTube music, and this came up. The system works.

I've spent the entire morning listening to Angels & Airwaves (Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge's space-obsessed arena pop multimedia indulgence) and I am FURIOUS at how much I love it.

changing my bio to "I know there's a lot going on right now, but can we talk about Sega for a second?"

I'm sick and tired of feeling like I'm the only person who remembers Sega as a tech cautionary tale. Sega is what happens when you "move fast and break stuff."

We accidentally ended up at the goth night of our neighborhood pinball bar, which is the most Minneapolis sentence I could possibly imagine.

"I used AI to see what the cast of Futurama would look like if they were real!" Okay but why?

"dipshit" has GOT to be the best insult there is.

Hell yeah. I passed an initial certification exam and I start my new job on Friday. My unlikely journey to becoming a finance bro begins. #MondayRhymesWithBook

I believe it was Ben Franklin who said, "Pizza, beer and video games Bring a man wealth, power and fame." #quotesImadeup

Give me that Jonny Grubb look! The Millennial Clark Kent! #treefies

Dog walk treefies are BACK

One thing about marriage that was honestly surprising is how often I truly am called upon to open jars.

Digging back through old records lately and I just got to Fall Out Boy circa like 2011. And Jesus Christ these songs all suck so bad. I love them all very much, but they're terrible.

How do I put myself in the position where I get to yell at Elon Musk directly?

Nobody wants to work anymore

if you really dedicate yourself to an instrument you can, over many years of rigorous practice, become so skilled that you can only produce music that is completely unlistenable

They still only bleep out the "hole" part of "asshole" and the "god" part of "goddamnit" and I think that's just adorable.

Scrubs has a skip intro button.

It is raining in Minneapolis.

would be kinda funny to give that guy all his apes back now

Scrubs? Holds up.

Mildly heartbreaking thrift store find of the day: this very much appears to be framed little kid art.

Ho, ho, ho!

“You’ll be visited by three spirits…” THE THREE SPIRITS:

I'm rereading Seventh Son (Orson Scott Card, 1993) and it is absolutely stunning that the person who wrote this series is THAT Orson Scott Card

Meta has given me the power to create stickers with AI in Facebook Messenger, but I still have no idea why I would want to do that.

This classic just turned 11 years old

spending the afternoon in reverent contemplation of the abject stupidity of arguing about the serial comma.

The party I'm at has one of those fireplace on TV things. But it has ads.

I throw this out the other way, too. I want every word I *read* to have been put there on purpose by another human being who's trying to say something to me.

In the 2006 Adam Sandler film "Click," Sandler's character uses a magical remote control to fast forward through the 'boring' parts of his life. He eventually learns that by having no involvement in the process of living, he has no connection to life itself. And yeah. That's what AI writing is.

Whenever Christmas comes around and the same 15 songs play on loop everywhere I go, I feel like a side character in a Doctor Who special called "The Death of Time"

'creative' and 'reactive' are anagrams. I don't know where to 'put that' intellectually, but now you have to know it, too.

Ok, so nobody was gonna tell me that Temba Wide-Arm has been a Star Trek reference this whole time???

MITCH MCCONNELL'S FIRST NAME IS ADDISON!?!???!?!??

File Under, things funny only to me: out at a restaurant, I heard a very fey cover of The Cure's "Friday, I'm in Love" I said, aloud, "Who's cosplaying Belle & Sebastian?" I Shazam'd it. It was Yo La Tengo. 🤣

Ok I'm going back to paying less for streaming services, because ads are so fascinatingly weird now.

This is so fucking funny to me

I'm hosting a Christmas-themed Monster of the Week one shot this Friday! If you know me, then you know it will be filled with unbearable drama, ridiculous puns, and as many silly little guys as I can come up with on the spot! Join me on Twitch, a website I am honestly still getting the hang of!

Since going freelance, I've started to conceptualize money in terms of billable hours. Like, I'll see an expensive thing I want and calculate "how much would I have to work to get the money to buy that?" Is this what they call self-parenting?

More art! If you've ever wondered what it looks like inside Kira's mind it's a bit like this. Thank you to @doggogills.bsky.social for the amazing art, as always! 💜 #monsteroftheweek #ttrpg #actualplay #characterar #ttrpgart

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

This era is strange because it is both socially/culturally regressive, yet technologically accelerationist. Backward + forward at the same time. With human erasure being the goal. I think those interested in cultural preservation, archival work— resisting erasure will be *especially* important.
