And it would have had its own randomized subtable.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

Full Sisko to anybody who made it to the end of the year without grifting, backstabbing, clumsily lying or otherwise being the ass-end of a pure fool. Ben Sisko knows you wanted to lay hands but found other ways. Praise to ya.

Absolutely baddie running around everywhere to get shit done, useless man lurching back and forth while everyone else struggles to protect him from the consequences of his actions. Name a more iconic couple.

That would mean there's an oversupply of server GPUs, and that Nvidia simply can't keep up their sales numbers. And since Nvidia is investing in all the "AI" companies who then turn around and use that money to buy Nvidia GPUs, it means the coyote is about to look down and realize he's in mid-air.

Frank Zappa once said "Communism doesn't work because people want to OWN stuff" and I think that's a big part of why the current version of capitalism isn't working either, even for people who seem materially comfortable.

fun fact: Piet Mondrian’s _Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow_ enters the public domain in less than 4 weeks.

You can go home again, the General Temporal Theory asserts, so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Because I searched for information on how to fix our toilet a couple weeks back, YouTube is convinced what I want more than anything is constant toilet repair videos. Fucking cargo cult ass algorithm ...

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

I have a Tunisian friend who, when I made a “salt the earth” joke looked at me dead in the eye and said “too soon” Dude. It’s been 2200 years.

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:

Like sure "you can talk to the computer and it does stuff"is appealing since that's Star Trek and we want to live in Star Trek. But "you can talk to the computer and then it lies to you" is 2001: A Space Odyssey and we don't really want to live in that.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:
