I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

good time to check out our 2019 AI/human collab album before it becomes Lost Media™ coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/album/muse-o...

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

why is it called dubai chocolate if i see it and i du not bai it

heard the RAM shortage is getting bad so I've been trying to stock up🤞

Bluesky will not truly have the juice until its algorithm is strong enough to bombard me with spoilers for things I haven't caught up on yet like some other sites are doing

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HORSES! IT IS HORSE BIRTHDAY! HORSE!!!!!

whoever said “a chill wind blows” was right. i hate those things

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

HAPPY APRIL 13TH, 2009 EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t wait for the scene where Odysseus says “oh I hear there’s some clown writing a book about all this. I don’t know, some young punk, they call him ‘homer’…”

Claude CONQUERED the Safari Sone on attempt 41 of 226! This was a direct result of Opus 4.5 being *much* better at taking notes on the paths he used to reach places and the dead ends he has already explored, albeit still much worse than a human. (Also he is still ignoring the Gold Teeth.)

In the Forest Secret Area in Super Mario World, there are three 1-Ups after the goal that seem impossible to collect without flying, as walking through the goal destroys them. However, there is an extremely simple trick to get them every time: simply press L before touching the goal.

This Claude just became the first one EVER to beat the rocket hideout, after past Claudes were stuck here for months!!!! I attribute this 80% to the harness buffs that make spin tiles easier to deal with, and 20% to Opus 4.5's improved reasoning/notetaking - but probably both were necessary here.

You’ll Be OK

HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

With how much more discourse they get than they're worth, they should call them the "talk lands" is this anything

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

Remember to thank Rebecda Black today for inventing Fridays, we honor her today on Black Friday

In AI Pokemon news, Opus 4.5 started playing Pokemon Red and is a big improvement, being the first Claude model to complete Viridian Forest and Mt Moon efficiently via actually properly tracking what it tried and sticking to a plan - despite its very minimal harness. twitch.tv/claudeplaysp...

TIL that what we called "lightnode SRM" in OoT ( docs.google.com/document/d/1... ) is an exact match of a classic libc exploit ( ir0nstone.gitbook.io/notes/binexp... )

NEW SBEMAIL

if you also feel the need to reread - or want to experience it for the first time - here you go

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

Easy choice if you're a deer deciding where to buy a house

Oreoboros

The "The Curse" guy??

Has anyone considered that all of those guys named James Bond existed but it's a total coincidence and none of them know because each one's existence is a top secret that the others aren't cleared to know about. Management is freaking out but can't say anything that would give it away

This 2003 Gamefaqs guide for Illbleed has A Lot going on

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

New "hyperspace levels" that go beyond 100... Maybe this is the real reason you can't tradeback mons from Z-A to previous games?

Picard: there ARE FOUR GUYS! FOUR

This is tremendous content but jegus fuck

utterly baffled by that at bat but WE TAKE THOSE

Daulton Varsho saves at least one run and possibly many more, what a fucking catch

how wonderful to have a section of your source code which is fully legible sprite data

I'm so mad that this was actually just Saruman what the fuck this was supposed to be an off-brand wizard

Out of all the things that could recreate the manic energy of following Blaseball almost entirely through Internet Posts, I was not expecting actual baseball.

the ball game (singular)

Live footage of me falling for one of the funniest things this game has done

Quick takes on pricing: - inflation exists - it's really weird that digital and physical games are priced the same, right? like you would absolutely not expect that to be the case

From the _very_ beginning they have been trying to make dungeon makers in Zelda, and in doing so they always end up making good stuff that is NOT a dungeon maker Because making a dungeon maker is a cursed and unsolvable problem

a kirby...credit card?

Legitimately the funniest "bug" I've seen in a game in a cool minute, doubly so because it feels on the nose with what some of the NPCs are saying lmao

was looking at bulbapedia for legends z-a and HUH (insaneintherain/the guy who did a 100 track sinnoh jazz fan album)
