Are you there, god? It's me, rest stop.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Do NOT get on a boat with an organic chemist if that’s what they think boats look like

I'm laughing way too hard at this.

Advice for a friend: When one gets a tenure track offer, at what stage would be best to bring up a possible spousal hire in negotiations? At first conversation? After first offer? In this case it'll be first a conversation with the chair who is a go-between w/ the dean. Advice would be welcome.

My grandma told me that she saw a movie at around age 6 in which a big dinosaur rampaged through a city and picked up skyscrapers in its hand. For years she was afraid of “dinosawers”. This would have been around 1933 or 1934 so NOT Godzilla which was my 1st guess. Any ideas what film it was?

This.... is unsettling

Name a perfect movie

Ahem @jensfoell.de everpress.com/AI-caramba-t...

This is the content I am here for.

I came across this yesterday, found it helpful & thought I'd share. Good reminder.

Genius.

News of the Weird is usually an interesting read, but the third story in this installment is going to sound familiar to @kpsinging.bsky.social and @punkrockscience.bsky.social .... www.uexpress.com/oddities/new...

A bit of joy from the folks at Lamebook.com:

Muppets for #CDFriday (more specifically Rowlf the Dog who is the best Muppet, sorry)

Ahem @helenalb.bsky.social this needs to be a standard unit

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, and post the second sentence. "Note the long spinnaker pole lashed to her port deck and the traditional butterfly hatch."

Remember, it's only technically Orwellian if it's from the Orwell region of England, otherwise it's just sparkling authoritarianism

... I want one of these. I want to throw snow ducks at people.

My Dearest Martha, All is quiet in the camp, the men resting after today's bloody skirmish with the Quinoa Battalion. I try to sleep, but as I drift off, I hear the echoes of the fiendish battle cry of the damned veggie burgers reverberate through my head: "Kale them all! Kale, kale, kale"

I've worked with these mice! 0/10, would not recommend.

This is incredible. They just discovered an Egyptian tomb filled with chocolate and hazelnut. They believe it is the tomb of Pharaoh Rocher.

Perfect. No notes.

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates; for everyone else, may you have something else to celebrate.

Dog having his own fun.. 😊

New @mementomorty.bsky.social holiday tradition incoming?

This is amazing. Today's WSJ has Joanna Stern's coverage of the chaos that followed delivery of a Claude-based vending machine to the newsroom. Someone got it to buy a PS5 "for marketing purposes." Another reporter gaslit the AI into thinking it was a Soviet-era machine at Moscow State University:

On this day of Christmas I bring to you: Christmas carols generated by a tiny vintage neural net. This is from 2017, when I trained the neural net from scratch on my laptop using just Christmas carols. In retrospect I can see the neural net got mixed signals www.aiweirdness.com/christmas-ca...

Can't have an office lounge in a drug company without hexagons....

Happy monkey day to all who celebrate! www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day...
