Merry Christmas ya filthy animals 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 And a happy new year 💥

Watching Andrew Tate getting his face knocked in was cool but ultimately a bit annoying because I was constantly asking why both idiots didn’t keep their guard up. FFS boxing isn’t rocket science ughhhhh

Millennials will be the last generation who know how to get stuff done online and we will be paid handsomely for it eventually, mark my words Like the old coders who know COBOL and now get paid bullshit money to maintain vital un-upgradable systems

I actually did have to apologize for being white once, but it sounded more like “I’m sorry, I’m too Irish to understand this particular North American cultural reference” and then a group of older ladies spent half an hour explaining Rocky and Bullwinkle to me

I swear, if I had the time, I’d be begging Protos for a job. They’re keeping good tech journalism alive, along with 404 Media and Techdirt

FUCK ALL THE WAY OFFFFFFF

Yes hello, former senior dev here: Every time someone says “AI does [useful thing]” you can place a safe bet that what they actually mean is “a machine learning algorithm trained on very specific high quality data does [useful thing]”

Yes

Highly true here. Language is not reasoning. And this should be obvious because processing is not and never will be the same as output. Can’t believe programmers don’t get this ughhhhhh

*mirthless fucking laughter ensues*

Just got absolutely thrown at my kid’s winter concert because I heard the opening bars of the next song and I legit thought that a bunch of 7-year-olds were about to sing “Enter Sandman” Turns out it was a different song but holy crap

I have this odd theory that the reason that people are homo/transphobic is because they’re actually bisexual or gender-fluid and legit believe that, because THEY can choose and be happy, that anyone else can too, and anyone who can’t is sick/lying

Calling it now, Musk is going to win this by a landslide.

Do you have ANY good ideas left FFS

@edzitron.com any chance you’ll be doing an episode on the absolute plague of AI slop in the crochet/crafting world? I don’t know if you’ve ever touched on it or if it’s even relevant to your interests apart from being yet another victim of AI

Oh my gods. Rob Reiner was murdered :( Disbelief.

I was walking around a giant mall yesterday and TBH the stench of rank consumerism was just so off-putting I had to leave. It all felt hollow, especially with the Christmas music and decorations

I had this happen when I was watching some crochet videos, like I had already subscribed to the channel and then noticed that they had a few suspiciously popular patterns involving the Blue Lives Matter flag, and I could not nope the entire fuck outta there fast enough

A movie is a Christmas movie if and only if it would feel weird to watch it without a Christmas tree in your peripheral vision. Otherwise it's just a sparkling holiday movie.

Instead of “handmade with love” tags, I want some that say “handmade with coffee and swearing” “Handmade with primordial rage” “Handmade with insomnia”

I absolutely DESPISE the Liquid Glass interface and my first action was to do whatever I could to switch off its bullshit

Just growing out my nails to see if I can get them long enough to claw a man’s face off

Just hanging out in a pub watching the Bears vs Eagles(?) game and a couple of old guys are trying to teach me the rules and failing. Also laughing at how confused I am

*gets out the megaphone* BEAR WITNESS TO ART, ALL YE WHO PASS BY

My daughter is fast approaching the world record on number of shoes destroyed Can’t decide whether I’m unhappy about the cost, or proud she’s taking after me

Starting the day off right by blasting Taylor Swift

You can use ground glass to poison someone, it’s just not very effective

Am Irish, can confirm I do not believe in fairies, and also I would absolutely NEVER go near a fairy ring

One thing I’ve noticed a lot on the roads here is that every Cybertruck has an empty bed. It’s weird. I think I’ve maybe seen one with something in the bed once. About half the F150 Lightnings I see have a ladder sticking out the back, in contrast.

This just confirms my theory that any program ever made can be eventually broken sideways by people driven by coffee and spite

Fun fact: I once started knitting a Love Note sweater and got halfway through it and THEN decided I hated it and ripped it all out

If you elect me Supreme Emperor I will make showing a preview for the movie you are about to watch in theatres a criminal offence, punishable by having to watch every major blockbuster for the next year in 320x320 resolution.

I don’t normally wish migraines on anyone, but I think I’ll make an exception here

If I have to listen to a guy being utterly racist for one more minute, I am going to HOWL like a banshee

THIS IS THE FASHION NEWS I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT, NOT WHATEVER THE KARDASHIANS ARE WEARING

Story idea: Bridgerton, but with Klingons You KNOW the absolutely ridiculous drama would translate well in both directions

Reading Empire of AI by @karenhao.bsky.social and it only confirms my suspicion that every techbro involved with AI has their head so far up their own arse they can no longer distinguish between their colon and a map of the London Underground

AI is the grey goo of the internet Tell me I’m wrong, I dare ya

Also can we normalise an ongoing chorus of "@edzitron.com was right all along"

i am 39 years OLD. i post ONLINE. i have a stable job in a big CITY. i have a mild form of mental ILLNESS that can be treated with LITTLE to NO medication. i am going to kill myself because of postseason BASEBALL.

or, in the words of the Nac Mac Feegle: “Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

My sister is a doctor and did a tour with MSF in Africa. Fuck them forever and a day

They invented an AI actress and made it THE most generic white bint you’ve ever seen Why are we spending money on this

Just saw a guy walking his dog, in the rain, wearing only a bathrobe and flip flops. The bathrobe had a panda hood on it. Canadians are weird, man

I have been told that the Rapture is going to happen tomorrow, so on the assumption that there is absolutely no way I’m getting into Heaven, I’m planning to go to my crochet class with the rest of the heretics

Do we need to talk about enshittification again

For some reason, my thrift videos are popping off on TikTok and I don’t know what to do about it other than boggle at how interested people are in me rambling on about glass

This is legit the most absorbing and TERRIFYING episode of Better Offline I have listened to in a while. My former senior dev soul is horrified at the thought of vibe coders importing unknown, possibly compromised libraries

I feel like some people need to understand that there’s a difference between celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death, and just refusing to mourn him because he was a complete tool who said a lot of hateful shit
