this is true

rediscovering the lost art of puppetry

i’d like to say just for the record that i really, really hate aaron rodgers

hmm

on repeat

@babadooknukem.bsky.social did you see that ferry corsten remixed kathy's song again for 2025? more of a re-edit than a true remix but it still goes

i think a lot about how this administration is actively cultivating decades of technical debt

has anyone ever been to a scooter concert

a big part of being an effective entertainer is convincing yourself that you can be entertaining. i don’t know that i’ve fully achieved this for myself yet but i’m trying

Found a perfect song!! Thank you!!

kim bauer in 24 season 3 was a nepo hire. very unprofessional of jack

sorry, france? this is LA france we’re talking about?

floored that someone would put this on their car in 2025

brian took a photo of me and i'm using it for my pfp now

this is so me when i run across this land, looking out for strength and beauty, a diamond in the sand

I'm not going to stand here and listen to you badmouth the greatest democracy the world has ever known.

the one thing that you cannot deny is that we are charlie kirk

there is so, so much evil and i have no energy to fight it

for some unfathomable reason i’m getting back into 24. having an unspeakably bad time realizing that i am now jack bauer’s age in season 1

elton john was a bit of a quirk chungus himself, back in the day

one way of looking at this data is to dazzle at how AI is going to take off once people REALLY start using it. i, on the other hand, am floored that after two years of having these features foisted upon them by every application on earth, only a third of the population uses them even weekly

day 4 of the flu from hell: agony level down to 6/10. mostly just stunned that my body can produce this much phlegm. dreams remain very weird, though more lucid and controllable than previous nights

looking for recs for fun emo synthpop with a bit of a gothic edge. examples of the kind of thing i’m talking about in this thread, including this banger by sonoio aka alessandro cortini from the nine inch nails live band

i hate him so much. i hate how we have all been forced to share in his awful vanity for a decade. i hate that there’s no way to escape his stupid, stupid fucking face because he insists on plastering it on every possible thing. i hate that his brain-dead turns of phrase have become common parlance

big takeaway after watching a bit of the game awards this year is that geoff keighly clearly does not care about the art or craft of video games. he’s put together an awards show that is a comprehensive waste of everyone’s time, from the attendees to the nominees to the viewers at home

is will arnett not lego batman anymore?

this is an absolute disaster and a great example of why you need to tell your actors exactly what they can and can’t say. at least we are getting the first award presentation in 15 minutes

so i’ve never watched the game awards before and just turned it on. what exactly is this? what is going on here?

google is so good now

works for keyboard? i’ll say he does!

"I'd be even more offended if I was a conservative Christian" no, you wouldn't, because your values would be completely different and it would feel good to you Queerphobic harassment and violence is the substance of conservative Christianity in practice, it's their version of "faith that works"

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

james dobson. now that he’s dead there’s more you could say without fear of legal reprisal

I have some idea of where to start

i've never understood pour your own wine bars. the entire point of a wine bar is to go with a friend, talk to the sommelier to figure out what you want, and split a bottle or two over nice conversation

with labour like this who needs tories, genuinely

For us Millennials, it used to be we had Dane Cook, Drake & Josh, and Dax Shepard. But now… ✅ We can’t cook. ✅ We drink 𝒥𝑜𝓈𝒽. ✅ We’ve forsaken our shepherd!

if no one else is willing to say it, i will: sabrina carpenter is pretty cute

we had a bad time watching this movie but a good time watching this episode

But wait a second, the only way this would automatically spit out porn is if that’s what everyone who claims it’s for productivity was secretly using it for

sometimes you see someone do a pitch perfect recreation of an aesthetic that takes your breath away

ME: Here’s something happening in America that sucks and everyone hates and no one supports SOME NON-AMERICAN: This is normal in America and everyone thinks it’s good…but not us, the enlightened global citizens of Mother Earth…we think it’s actually bad, unlike *dry heave sound* Americans 🤣🤣

If it’s at all possible to set aside the vile aspects of this, it’s an instant Hillary classic. “If there’s one thing that American Jews need exposure to, it’s the message that Israel is actually great.” So true, queen.

Can someone tell these guys (these politicians and the pundits who boost them) that it is not November 2024 anymore? Abigail Spanberger, Mikie Sherrill, Zohran Mandani, and Aftyn Behn all likely won some Trump voters/2024 skippers. Update the talking points! 2028 is not only for white guys.

large language models are good at predicting language. that makes them great at rough translation, transcription, and summarization. it also makes them useless at generating or synthesizing useful new information. but it LOOKS like it can do so much more and you only realize it can’t after a while

this somehow feels low
