Take a moment to imagine if holodecks existed right now. At least half the country would be Barclay or Geordi. It wouldn't be an unusual thing at all for people to become literally unable to interact with real people without being extremely weird and off-putting.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Me reading social media

You wonder how kids end up in the radicalization pipeline but at no point do you examine the fact that they're being robbed of every place where they could have just been a kid, a teen or whatever. Yes, parents need to be involved but it's made *infinitely* harder when everyone has to be an island.

Cucumber and Vegemite sandwiches.

If a tiny fraction of the resources deployed towards AI was invested instead in actual artists we'd be enjoying a renaissance rather than drowning in a sea of garbage

My latest article in The Shot "The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club" #pffft theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Post a fictional comedian who would definitely accept an invitation to the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Given how badly he munted the last one, that’s probably for the best.

Forget crediting him with writing Transformers: The Movie. His best Transformers-related accomplishment was convincing Hasbro to add Arcee to the film, and thus sorta-retroactively (because of production timelines) all the Autobot women in the cartoon. He's why we have girl Transformers.

What movie do you consider perfect?

Therapist: Danny DeVito eating a pair of rotisserie chickens jammed onto his fist like boxing gloves isn't real, he can't hurt you Danny DeVito, speaking through a mouth full of chicken: but doctor

you can't excise trans people from society because transness is an emergent property of free will. if you divide the world up into men and women and say men do this and women do that, some people are going to say that sucks, fuck you, i do what i want. it doesn't get more complicated than that

half a trillion dollars incinerated on a product we only use because it is unavoidable. Watch as techbros lean harder on “education” - exploiting children and young people - to monetise their slopaganda machines. Like big tobacco, or religion. And rapists. pivot-to-ai.com/2025/07/04/o...

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Like the reason I would never use an AI to help me brainstorm is that the act of brainstorming—coming up with a bunch of ideas and sequentially iterating on them—is like doing brain pushups. When you automate that task, you stop exercising that muscle.

Quote with a gif you can hear.

Between Fury Road (decrepit old men elevated by resource hoarding, hollow rhetoric, and an army of child-men in the pursuit of control over women), The Force Awakens (idolizers of fascism revive it within the lifetime of those who defeated it because they’re left to their own devices unpunished) ...

If Sam Altman is allowed to exist after the AI bubble pops, he will be an even bigger scourge for the next quarter century than the dot com bubble cockroaches like thiel and elon have been

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score. The Core has terrible science, but the great ensemble cast are committed; it’s worth it for Stanley Tucci and Delroy Lindo alone. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/core

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Orwell said extreme wealth is dehumanising both for those who have it (isolating them, breeding cruelty, corrupting moral vision) and for those forced to serve it. Socialism is needed not only to lift up the poor, but to liberate the wealthy from the moral prison of their own riches.

Ah ok here's a fun tip I ran across by accident, hopefully it still works if your algorithm starts going conservative, watch Tasting History by Max Miller. it's like algorithmic bug spray for fascism www.youtube.com/@TastingHist...

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

"Listen, I know a lot of us don't approve of the orphan crusher, but the technology already exists. We can't put the genie back in the bottle. So I'm now going to use the orphan crusher guilt free."

liberal parties exist solely to disenfranchise the left and that it's becoming more obvious to everyone is one of the only saving graces of this time

The sexy Watto meme is proof that gen AI is dumb. First, it’s inherently funnier that a real artists took the time to draw sexy Watto. Second, gen AI could never come up with anything so haunting or execute it in such unhinged ways.

I hate having to do this again but: I am once again facing some pretty steep medical bills for both myself and my elderly cat and I'm broke broke broke. Any and all help is so massively appreciated even if its just sharing

What people think they 80s were like versus what the 80s was actually like.

WOULD YOU KINDLY

need people to stop making technology inspired by Star Trek (smooth, sleek, no buttons, all screen, voice activation, extremely minimal, wireless) and start making technology inspired by Star Wars (clunky buttons, indicator lights on everything, ugly, indestructible, fat cables that emit steam)
