4yo: 'Can I go to school in my fleecy pyjamas today?' Me: 'No, not today.' 4yo: 'Do I have to wear my human form?' Me: 'Your uniform. That's right.'

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out. As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class. Here's what happened:

Honestly, just give the guy who ate the art an MA in fine arts. He understands the arguments he makes his point clear, he has something to say about art. He's done it.

Hello! I once almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you feel queasy and suddenly exhausted don’t lay down for “just a minute” - run outside, breathe fresh air. The space between “I feel a little weird, I guess I slept bad/ate something weird” and death is like ten minutes.

I'll add to this: -REMEMBER TO DRIP YOUR FAUCETS SO YOUR PIPES DON'T FREEZE & BURST! Keep the cupboards under them open too so heat can circulate & keep them warm! -If you don't have curtains (like on a sliding glass door), hang a blanket over it with some thumbtacks. It'll help keep the cold out.

BREAKING: Amazon MGM Studios Creates first version of Skeletor no one wants to fuck.

And to admit this in an article?! You going to put this on your cv??? I documented in nature how I am unable to fulfill the basic ass tasks of my job without the help of the always wrong tell me what I want to hear machine.

I would be so angry if the professor of a course I needed for my future career was doing all his teaching and grant writing and shit with chatgpt. so embarrassing. Jesus Christ. How did you get a phd if you need help writing an email? You're having 'conversations' with a chatbox?

I just thought everyone should see this

It’s exciting to note they haven’t figured out exactly what’s causing the hallucinations and also that it’s like CONSISTENTLY little dudes.

YES THAT'S WHAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS AND THATS WHY WE DON'T USE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I just think they're neat!

this is the only way to appreciate someone playing a bitchin guitar solo

people need to stop complaining that they can't fry things on their stovetop when they're just placing the food directly onto the burner. "ohh no the food just burns immediately and makes a huge mess. if only I had a metal implement of some kind to place it on." skillet issue

finally the heated rivalry discourse that’s truly meant for me

Whatever brownie points Studio Ghibli has earned for making films with "strong female characters" is canceled out by the fact in 40 years not one of their films (including the shorts) has been directed by a woman, and only two have a solo female screenwriter (a handful were cowritten by a woman).

@ohayou-punpun.bsky.social I love how you are living your best shoujo manga reading life (I love shoujo manga)

To charm a dragon

The Oscars.

you: gundam is a mecha anime me: wrong! BL!!!

huh, he-man movie, forgot about that oh right, jared leto, nevermind

@ingridblythe.bsky.social it's too bad girls anime night has a no robots rule because I have been thinking about how Char's Counterattack is peak girl anime (but also idk if it's something they should encounter without encountering Char in other media first lmao)

been having a fucking insane day for pain in my hands like someone drove a nail through the right one and the pain is so bad I'm just feeling kind of sick

I have said it before and I'll keep saying it: We need to celebrate "bad" art. Not art that is deliberately bad (necessarily), but art that is made by people who don't have the training, practice, or skills of a professional. Art made for art's sake, for the enjoyment of making.

Science is on the cusp of saving so many lives but the richest country in the history of the world is like “nah…take supplements”

My local bookshop understands their audience.

Giving He-Man pronouns

i forgot i had TTS for non-voice acted dialogue and this nearly killed me when it came out of nowhere

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

the other thing I forgot to add is you want both the hot and cold taps open for this (if it's just one handle, just have it as perfectly centered as you can)

Fun little game companies like to make me play called "is it ACTUALLY unscented and fragrance free or is it not just as perfumed as the other shit"

me: why is my credit card bill so high this month??? dmv registration renewal -_-

On the other hand I think it would be very funny to retitle literary fiction light novel style. “Oh No! This Author Stand-In is Unhappily Married”

i am on neopets. i send a neomail with the phrase "tough egg to crack" in it. i am immediately hauled away and frozen by the neopian authorities for trying to discuss hard drugs with small children

Last year I picked up a copy of Connie Willis' Bellweather at my local bookstore as a mass market paperback. The owner looked it up when I was checking out and said that was the last copy, she couldn't order it again.

In a world of AI slop shortcuts in gaming, I am reminded that for The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa, the developer's 60 year old father learned pixelart in MSPaint to help make the game If it matters enough to you, you can always learn too, even at 60

shirobako taught me that the difference between limbo and hell is whether you got a normal producer or this fucking guy

every night, all my boys eventually trickle in to the bedroom to nap together with me, it's adorable cats are so deeply social, they just don't show it as acutely as dogs. but if you give them time and pay attention, you start to see just how much they want to spend that time with you ❤️

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

Char's Counterattack With Big Naturals

Netflix has confirmed plans to rant up a eye’s youth with sub-idle location and add her tie’s mint for its subs riders in twenty-twenty, sips.

It happened again (extreme cold requiring pupoy jacket).
