Gotta be my GOAT youtu.be/VcsSgDulm0I?...

Most of my day today was navigating state healthcare and reading a literal textbook about microbial ecology. Words cannot begin to express how much harder the former was for me lol I am extremely grateful to have healthcare options but holy shit dude

The thing about getting laid off is that at some point it sinks in that your new job is looking for a job and that's like. Man. What a terrible job.

Man I don't even follow Hasan or enjoy watching him but seeing how many weird oped hit pieces they're putting out for him makes me think he's doing something super important lmao

Romance is hard when you're not willing to settle for anything less than someone who's way outta your league

Few things make me cringe as much as AI and software specialists trying to talk about biological and chemical risk. It's just nonstop and everything is so dramatic in ways that are so ignorant

Happy birthday to Fate/Grand Order's Leonardo da Vinci on April 15!

So is thinking that every Arknights Endfield character design is just a flatly and somewhat insultingly worse version of an existing Arknights design like, a biomarker of my age? Or is there just a collective way that our brains are cooked for this, too, and not just attention span

lmao what are vtubers doing

OK after brainstorming while rowing I think the answer of "what should I give up for lent" is a definitive "Bluesky and dating apps" because I have been converging on the latter as my primary evil stim and the former is a huge amount of screen time I don't need. See y'all in 40 lol

among the gaggle of other civic issues that Insight covers with a prescient sharpness, it's extra unbelievable that it has the called shot of ai chatbots, both in function and extent/speed of proliferation

My kingdom for a review of Mewgenics that earnestly and directly grapples with it as a "pre-gamergate aesthetic" game in perhaps the most consequentially post-gg environment imaginable. It's not just "gross-out humor" at this point, yeah? Like that surely isn't the extent of our analysis?

latest Never Post is great on adult performers in the parasocial age and what you're "selling." I don't think it's as historically novel as sometimes implied, but very helpful listening to interview subjects talk through it from the perspective of creators/industry. www.neverpo.st/pornhub-goes...

People saying "kek" in 2026 like. What happened. Who hurt you.

always a weird feeling nowadays seeing someone very clearly come from the like 00's South Park "I'm apolitical" but it's the 2020's it's not like, nostalgia, but probably my being too online means it often feels like encountering a, like, galapagos bird unfit to survive in most of the world

This fucking Wuthering Heights ad on KQED telling me it's the "greatest love story of all time" and just remembering how much I crashed out having to read it in highschool because I hated every single character in the book so so much

"But I do think culturally we are back to brunch." This month in Dialogue, @austinwalker.bsky.social goes long on craft, industry, and doing the work.

I am working hard every single day to become photosynthetic. I truly think this could fix me.

I have a bold new proposal for a Nature commentary piece positing that the assumption that AI has hit "human" intelligence reflects not amazing advances in technology, but a rapid degradation of cognitive capacity within tech and finance as a profession

Already embarrassed I've kept Crunchyroll as long as I have but they just emailed me that the cost is going UP by $30/year like. Bro. Your service has gotten worse over time! Wdym it's going up in price? Fuck outta here

Using the Uma Musume global Team Trials Rank 6 cutoff score as a recession indicator because the only thing that could drive it this high is record unemployment

Literally just having angry posted about how relevant Manufacturing Consent is after the Venezuela bs and then seeing the emails with Chomsky and it's like. Man. Is this why people smoke? This is one of those moments where I feel like I should have a cigarette and stare off into the distance

Holy shit I actually hit 1000k on my first year of rowing, that's pretty significant given that I basically did all of this because NL kept telling me to on his streams

I've been wishing a pox on all conservatives for decades now but seeing them welcome it in with open arms to the peril of us all is something else entirely. No human imagining of eternal torment will suffice for those who have dragged us here.

oopsie doodles your actions have blinded your toddler and killed his baby cousin. a perfectly avoidable situation but you did your own research. sure you directly killed one baby and maimed your own but you're a good person. a superspreader? countless deaths? not your fault. a good person

Man. There's just something about listening to people in tech complain about food additives and then talk about the most inane factoids imaginable that still always makes my blood boil. People desperate to be the smartest in the world yet so incurious about *industrial process*

NYT less insightful than a 9 year old 4chan post

No matter how low morale goes, it could and should always be lower.

これからAIが仕事奪って来ると思うと殺意がわいてきます。クリエイターたちの未来をだんだん壊してますね😞

who called it umamasume and not

Anytime "cliques" come up in online circles I immediately just assume I am cool and popular and in them and just oblivious to drama but taking several steps back I think I am just not actually cool and/or popular enough to be in a clique (which rules tbh because I don't want that heat)

It's truly wild just how astronomically batshit fucking insane RFK Jr is dude, the cursed manifestation of every wellness grifter transglutaminased into one heinous meatball of a man

hello everyone please read my really good thoughts about 2025 in gaming here

The sailor-mouthed game developer Ina (@poyfuh.bsky.social) wrote a special guest list for Gamesline's GOTY season, with particular attention given to games that have been forgotten or dismissed! What forgotten game do you still love?

The AI craze has genuinely lowered the value of my PhD because nothing else gets funding anymore so my ivy-league PhD-informed take is genuinely "go fuck yourself Jensen Huang" and I'm gonna keep saying it to every PhD and CEO in my network until it sinks in lmao

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

I love my big open room that has a view of a small attic and I love that I have lovely false widow spiders as roommates but my guy you cannot be crawling in my covers like tonight OK that's not respecting my boundaries and now I'm gonna have the willies for like a full hour

narutocentral dot com had a forum I joined after downloading a bunch of the AMVs they had available for realplayer on their site. Still have the same username now most places as I did back then!

go my scarabs

Microsoft can bite my entire fucking ass. They pushed new software that requires better PCs to run and pushed their load-bearing software suited to require internet connections, but OPSEC hygiene means old PCs I need for basic lab tasks have to stay offline now because they dropped support

Sometimes people get surprised by my Northern Californian ire for LA, but this billboard sums it up so much. SF billboards are giving LA a run for its money tho, which is the best way for me to articulate just how bad tech has ravaged SF specifically

I hate LA so much lol

Kyle MacLachlan makes a Twin Peaks themed Bento Box youtu.be/YmI5iG0qakU

man it's so awesome that state force can apparently only ever be deployed against people protesting cruelty and never against the ones causing the cruelty

i miss when this guy was the only LLM

The world is shit everything starting off the year feels increasingly hopeless but also my favorite anime horse girl won her big race today so who's to say whether it's the end times or not

I've long been donating only to SGDQ because I trust MSF a lot and believe in their mission, but seeing the AI news about the other fundraiser is like... Well, I feel justified, but it's sobering and shitty to see happen, basically. I had a hunch about them going way back and this feels consistent.
