There was an insanely funny bit on @whatatimepod.bsky.social a little while back where they posit that the woman on the other end of the phone call is telling the big bopper the way he will die

streaming sites should have hub pages for their various films series that all look this unique

the president quite literally posted a video about making DSA illegal today

AI can be useful for, like, basic "do you have functional ARIA recommendations addressed", but past the lowest-hanging fruit you can't really replace actual humans, like, by definition

we are witnessing a company who thought they invented the ham sandwich realizing in real time that they sell ham, bread, and mustard at the grocery store

When I talk about how X-Men '97 is clearly cribbing notes from the She-Ra reboot

Worked with a guy once who turned out to be a legit fucking psycho. Beat his girlfriend, the works. Few weeks after he got fired for trying to intimidate our boss, he plowed his motorcycle into a parked car on the side of the freeway and died. We were all cracking jokes about it for a month

The discord was lit today

Aaron Sorkin is a man who fantasizes about getting to post live, on camera and in real life. it's no wonder his hero is Keith Olberman

We're gonna need to start awarding more science-fiction-story awards to things that are happening in real life

This is clearly an AI-generated image

literally "make sure he's holding today's newspaper"

if i can get a markov chain (an actual markov chain (begone, pedant)) to display to me declarations of is-ness, self-declarations of is-ness cannot be sufficient for me to declare is-ness, lest i want to let poets lie to me

With formulas like these, who needs AI?

so first, lol, but second, I do think it’s interesting how some people’s only conception of a bot is an LLM- or NN-driven conversation-shaped thing as opposed to something shaped by its creator into a genuine creative artifact

this is a three-panel Doonesbury

historians can you confirm whether or not this is the original "t shirt raising a lot of questions answered by the t shirt"

Funniest possible breaking news banner on this amazing headline from a few months ago

i’ve noticed people have started using the word “chalant” to mean a positive quality someone has while “nonchalant” is a bad thing to be and i know in my gut somewhere out there there’s a little goblin on ig or tiktok responsible for it

the american promise: yes, you'll spend pointless hours stuck in your car because of infrastructure decisions BUT we'll try and make it a booze thing

It’s kind of amusing the amount of money they are spending trying to make us think surveillance specs are cool and meanwhile a bunch of celebs are just like “hey these things fucking suck.”

Me before tonight: “Every attempt to make Superman/Wonder Woman work has failed” Me after tonight: “Every attempt but one”

ok seeing the East Wing buried in the manner of one of POTUS’s ex wives has caused me to need a break so I am bopping over to the wharf for a ridiculous frozen tiki cocktail, but then i need to check the gold horses, the helipad construction, freedom plaza, and Malcolm X park still

how it be looking in comic books when a white man kills his entire family

indeed. perhaps interrupted by the occasional dance on Chandrila

I wish the writing team of Zemeckis & Gale had never broken up.

The history of "professional wrestling" in this country is so funny. it's like if the entire NBA were the Harlem Globetrotters, and their audience in recent years has pivoted to an alternative version of basketball where you're allowed to kick the ball

Here's a critical distinction to how I view AI: do I consider this *useful*? Yes! Do I consider this *monetizable*? No! I think this can, and should, make about as much money as the public library system!

can't remember who it was who set this to Electric Six's "Gay Bar" but now it's the only thing I can hear when I see it, can't not picture the invisible Abe Lincoln stuff on 'em

"if you do what you love, then you'll never have to work a day in your life" - Karl Marx

hey what the hell. is this me in like a Fight Club scenario

my best friend is one of those people who explore rural Japan looking for abandoned properties and he recently found these signs out in the country

of all the criticisms leveraged over the last two weeks, microsoft took the time to address twitter's great replacement conspiracy theorists kotaku.com/xbox-respond...

He did not say that "Black leaders defang the white left." He said that there is a gap growing between young Black progressive voters, and older Black centrist politicians. "It's not something I can talk too much about, because I'm white, and it's not my struggle." Scrub to 41 minutes and listen.

LinkedIn has been truly valueless for probably 10-15 years but the last 5 years especially it's become such a strange, spam filled self-help nothingness. It's funny too because the people I see who are active on it (unironically) were also some of the least valuable I have ever known.

anyone else find it really odd when Bart and Homer started discussing this in the Simpsons movie?

Getting diarrhea like, "Hope this isn't the diarrhea that was on the news"

trump assumed his 80th birthday was gonna whip, cause at worst he'd just pretend the 250th celebrations were for him, but then everybody RUINED it and now he's fantasizing about how bad everyone would feel if he got assassinated, thinking for a moment, then adding "and i set off the doomsday device"

finally accepted into the top-secret DEVS program and when you get inside it's this

This is where my mind immediately goes when people start fearmongering about data centers

Since the spring of 2023, I have been creating a non-violent art museum in Doom. My goal was to find art that engaged with the themes that informed Doom's creation, while also exploring the possibilities of virtual museum spaces. Please enjoy this museum. Download link below

Every friend group got that one friend that says he "hacks" food by putting fries in it, like fries with milkshake, or putting fries in the burger to make a "burger hack". We beat ours to death Didn't tell anybody Body coordinates 43.1036095, -101.1063167

Classic misunderstanding of the minions. If they worked for Hitler, every assassination attempt would’ve succeeded. In the Valkyrie assassination, Bob would’ve moved the suitcase closer to Hitler, as that would’ve been helpful

That's Monkey

to quote with a correction down thread from this, his grandfather technically *married into Toys R Us money, by merger*

this is the only sensible way to interpret this, tbh if Google isn't just quoting someone else's answers, then it's making editorial decisions—even automated ones—and should take responsibility for those choices you can't take credit when it works, and shift the blame when it doesn't

AI is popular *everywhere* except the West to be fair. And to my mind, this has very, very serious implications for doing "AI ethics" where AI ethics merely means western critique of AI. I think people in other parts of the world are concerned about different things and experience AI differently
