Every time we see a Cybertruck around Vancouver, my kids point at it and shout “CYBERTRASH!” And I refuse to correct them

The children need to be reminded of their history, apparently

This is your regular reminder that the first Pride was a riot started by trans people Hope y’all got your good throwing bricks ready

A few days ago, a friend asked me to make a FB group for our friend circle planning a tea party. I made the group and invited six people. SIX PEOPLE. It's for a tea party, at someone's house. ... wait for it ... (AI slop post 1/ ?)

Stuff like this is the reason I will never, ever suffer from imposter syndrome ever again when it comes to tech.

Just gonna put this into the ol’ happy box for when I’m feeling down

Which one of you idiots asked for this

Personally I plan to celebrate #ValentinesDay by sending silly memes to my beloved instead of buying shit, but you do you

This is important journalism and I will not be told otherwise

In a random store, the only thing my son wanted was a rubber chicken costing exactly $1. He has now been squeaking it on and off, and giggling to himself. He is a boy of simple pleasures

What I’m wearing to the bsky Valentine’s ball (I can’t pull it off but idgaf)

Unfortunately we have been out of stock of “reasonable discussions on AI” ever since you goddamn fucks started burning down rainforests and taking all the water to power your plagiarism machine All we have left is incandescent rage-filled banshee screaming, we got lots of that

Fun fact: when an Irish woman gives birth, she automatically receives the “Irish mother” firmware update over the air, which gives her access to the Voice and also the uncontrollable urge to offer food/drink to everyone who enters her home

Anyone who says something like “AI is a promising technology and just needs guardrails” is fucking wrong and needs a refresher course on the limits of LLMs and machine learning I WILL NOT TAKE QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME, FUCK OFFFFFF

Can you really call yourself a coffee shop if you don’t serve your largest drinks in a soup bowl

Post a banger that’s not in English (Moldovian I think) youtu.be/YnopHCL1Jk8

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “You don’t need to bring any yarn or needles, we have them all here and we give them away”

Can someone give me a recommendation for a platform for doing short form written reviews Specifically reviews of tv series This will most likely be only for my own amusement so it’d probably need to be free

Used to work with a guy who knew him personally and his opinion was that Stephen Harper was the slimiest fuckrag outside of a high production porno studio.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Sometimes I think Micháel Martin does this shit because he cannot manage the kind of subtle “go fuck yourself” that international politics would accept. In Ireland it’s either a very loud and obnoxious GO FUCK YOURSELF with a side order of sarcasm and mockery, or nothing.

If I had my way, the required reading list for any school would be romance only. We need to teach the kids about emotions, empathy, love, relationships, and consent FAR MORE than about whatever the fuck Thomas Hardy was pontificating on this week

I see stuff like this and I usually think of the Gardaí Síochána in Ireland, they of the day-glo waterproof jackets and peaked caps Because in Ireland the real ongoing issue is the constant fucking rain and looking like a Temu Navy Seal doesn’t work when you’re soaked to the skin

I feel it’s important to promote and recognize the beauty of the written word when we encounter it

Blah blah blah safety - I WAS SHOUTING ABOUT THIS YEARS AGO BECAUSE IT FUCKING SUCKS FOR ACCESSIBILITY. People with issues in their hands also need to be able to open car doors FFS. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

So Anna’s Archive has been sued for more money than even exists and I would just like to give a slow clap to the record companies who apparently haven’t learned anything since they tried to sue The Pirate Bay out of existence.

Starting the day off right by giving myself a sore throat singing along to Rammstein

Today imma tell you a story, okay? Okay Couple years back I was involved in a big plagiarism case. The specifics are not important. What is important is that I wrote an algorithm, a long piece of somewhat sophisticated code that could do some… interesting pattern matching

fixed version

I currently have a running $10 bet that the orange shitbag will die before the end of his term, with a bonus $5 bet that it’ll be due to a massive stroke At this point it’s self-care and IDGAF if anyone thinks it’s morbid

Car salesman: hello! How can I help- Me: my dude, I have a Toyota Camry, ten grand, and a mid-life crisis. Just point me at the Camaros and leave me the hell alone for a while.

“What Does The Fox Say” has absolutely no right to be as much of a banger as it is

My 14yo tells me kids who use ChatGPT are referred to as "third-party thinkers"

I was saying a year or two ago that the AI slop explosion would cause people to seek out more authentic human experiences, hence the surge in popularity of dumb phones, print, in-person stuff, and wholesale rejection of AI Anyway I just want you all to know I fucking called it right

I dunno why anyone says Taylor Swift isn’t much of a songwriter when You Need to Calm Down exists and you can listen to it right now. Like come on. Give the woman credit where it’s due

2026 has started off weird and it’s only going to get weirder.

A company that's been locked out of major markets like the US and Canada has ridden its habit of "making good cars" to the pinnacle of the EV business, while Tesla, with full access and subsides everywhere, is declining due to its "an asshole company that makes bad cars for assholes" strategy.

In the Chinese dramas I’ve been binging lately there is a severe lack of people saying “go fuck yourself and the horse you ride in on” Bit of an oversight on the writer’s part there, unless there’s a Chinese equivalent that I’m not getting in the subtitles

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

The cafe I’m in is playing nothing but Taylor Swift and is staffed by young hyperactive Asian women who are apparently communicating entirely in memes What a great way to start the day

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]”
