Foot stuck in toilet again get mom 911

Skanked at a wedding in Princeton last night

Updating all the master and commander books just by changing the names to gamertags and putting them in a full role play server

What are we doing This isn't an update

It's sooooo funny that "grow with the United States" means THIS and not like infrastructure or cancer research lol

Hmm no thanks

There would be signs

Dang dude looks like we need humanities after all when all the computer guys are scared of their trillion dollar auto correct and cant figure out the definition of consciousness

?????

Phillies celebrating pride night w the straightest article of clothing I've ever seen

I hate it when socks have a labeled left and right. Great one more thing to worry about

We're doing ska this summer it's going to be a ska summer

Somebody just finished death stranding

Learning that I am the only one who thinks dog and fog don't rhyme

There's something insightful to be said about that fact that a couple decades of "disruption" at the highest levels of entertainment and industry got us the flattest, shittiest, lowest common denominator media, culture, and consumer choices ever. I don't know what it is though.

It's so crazy how many books there are and we only talk about like ten of them lol

Makes you think

Oh dang and today is my 43rd birthday

Couple days late but reminder that the only snakes that were ever in Ireland were rhe occupying brits

Shamrock shake guy when I show up at McDonald's today

Philadelphia underground punk and hardcore show promo flyer makers predicted Homer singing AI slop videos

I think there's a kernel of "getting it" in AI evangelism. I think they realize what people really really want to do is make art and music and literature. But they beefed it. They think people want TO HAVE CREATED those things, but that's not the want. The want is the creating.

One time in class I said some aphorism that no one had heard before so then I just started making them up. My favorite was "leaves dont fall on their edges" and welp

In a just world, tech and management would have worked themselves into a shoot here. "AI is going to take your job!" No, it's going to take YOUR job, because you built the monster in your own image, because you think the only labor is pointing at big numbers on a spread sheet.

Corvette would go crazy as a goth girl name if it wasn't already a car

Gotta pick up a pack of reeses 100s after a tough day

Sometimes when I am browsing job postings I misread stakeholders as skateboarders and get really excited for a second

Wow what Hollywood conspiracy derailed such a promising career that only the open hearts of AI could rekindle?

It should tell us everything about the people pushing AI that the selling point isn't "it will automate mindless uncreative tasks, reducing working hours and freeing up time to pursue art" and is instead "AI can make 'art' that maybe you can sell and will let you work more"

I got the high score at book

The closest thing I've seen before wrt the ai fanatics is 'fandom' and fan fiction. Them arguing over which one will achieve sentience and make an AI religion or whatever is exactly the same thing as people arguing about like ice dragons in game of thrones or something

Mutually assured destruction but it's just America this time

I think it's really funny that some extra online conservatives have realized that being absolutely terrified all the time is a huge part of their identity, BUT they've rebranded it to "cortisol spikes"

Feels like "mixed reactions" on kicking puppies is some kind of Rubicon

The reason Star Trek is the only popular (mostly) 'utopian' sci fi franchise is that it's the only one where they defeated capitalism

Found a new way to teach people the difference between INT and WIS

Between the textbook dunning kruger cases from the tech world and the sycophant/patronage hires in the current administration, almost every important person in media, industry and politics is wildly incompetent and unprepared, which is sometimes very funny and always very bad

We do not have to defend the second amendment, we do not have to talk about how good these victims were (no matter how true), we do not have to point to DHS rules or training or anything for this all to be wrong and evil and untenable.

Really good subtitle here

Okay so they invented a thing that: A) makes stuff up when it cant figure something out (frequent) B) exclusively flatters the user and encourages whatever the hell they say C) only the worst least self aware people use it? Great

One time at the dentist the dentist was drilling a tooth and like bent over to look in my mouth and accidentally drilled my arm? And he was like "whoops! Ha ha"

So much of modern genre fiction is like "Commander Voltaxxx was as angry as a Bogorian Angerhino. He slammed his fist down angrily and madly growled "I'm so mad!" angrily. The mist oak table shook under his aggressive emotion like a jigglebush in a spell wind."

The Sith of Mythyphus

The entire american economy now is just work around the clock to survive and hope to hit some big payday on various lotteries like sports gambling, political/news gambling (?!), crypto, influencer?, startup scam etc

Wait do you say Detroit or Detroit because I say Detroit and everyone clowns on me for it

It's (not) crazy that The big pole holding up maga circus tent - that white people 'built this country' and deserve their place at the top AND are being treated unfairly AND they can do whatever they want AND everyone else needs to be punished - is also now the explicit foreign policy of the USA
